Chapter 571
“Hey, Grandpa. Could you come over here for a minute?” requested Auriel suddenly at the door.
Tyrael was a little surprised but did as his granddaughter asked anyway.
“What’s the matter, Auriel?”
“There’s something you should know. Stuart only ended up this way because he crossed my master, so I don’t think you should give him the divine pill. That man is despicable.” whispered Auriel to her grandfather.
“What? He crossed Dr. Jefferson?”
Auriel nodded in response. “There’s more. My master was the reason his legs were broken. last time too.”
“She’s right, Dr. Skyworth. Stuart was the one who attacked me after I found out that he was trying to drug Heather. He broke both of my legs, so Alex did the same to him. I don’t think. Alex wanted him to ever recover from his injury,” chimed in Dylan with a half-smile while lying in bed.
After listening to both Auriel and Dylan. Tyrael froze with his mouth agape for a moment. “Wait a second. Did you say that Stuart was trying to drug Dr. Jefferson’s wife?” questioned. Tyrael in disbelief.
Dylan nodded fervently to assure his inquirer. “Yes. After his plan was ruined by me the first time, he even tried to do it again. If Alex didn’t get to the bar in time, I imagine that Stuart would’ve had his way with Heather.”
At that point, Tyrael felt nothing but anger toward Stuart. How dare that bastard disrespect Dr. Jefferson like that?! He even tried to make a move on the man’s wife. That’s unforgivable! I owe Dr. Jefferson my life. The man was even kind enough to take my granddaughter as his apprentice, teaching her everything he knew about medicine and Alchemy. Stuart is nothing compared to someone as great as Dr. Jefferson. Since he made an enemy of the man, that makes him my enemy too.
Furious, Tyrael stormed his way back to Stuart with a hardened face.
From the look on the physician’s face, Stuart could tell that something was wrong.
Then, he suddenly remembered seeing Auriel and Alex together at the auction. Did Auriel tell Tyrael something about Alex? Wait. Do they know Alex too? What if she was telling Tyrael about what happened at the bar?
“Let me ask you something. Did you try to drug someone called Heather yesterday? Yes or
no?” questioned Tyrael in an icy-cold tone before Stuart could say anything.
Immediately, Stuart was taken aback by the question. “You know Heather?”
Tyrael then chuckled in disbelief before pointing his finger at the door and roaring, “Get our of my sight now!”
“What… What’s going on? Why are you doing this?” Puzzled by the physician’s sudden change of tone, Stuart began to stutter.
“From now on, I want nothing to do with you Nixons. Nothing at all! We’re done,” stated Tyrael in all seriousness.
Stuart could not believe what the man had just said. To his family and him, having a talented physician like Tyrael as a close friend meant that they would have an increased life.
