Sophie hurriedly said, "It’s okay. You just have to help me ask him." 2
After that, she asked, "By the way, Grandpa, do I have t 0 make a trip to the United States if he is willing to help me?"
"No need." Jefferson said, "Old Master Lennard has divine power and abilities. If he agrees to help you, it should be sufficient for me to let him know your birth date and time of birth before I tell him briefly about the matter that you want to ask him about."
Sophie said in amazement, "Is he truly that incredible?"
Jefferson laughed and said, "Fortune-telling and divination is supreme wisdom that the ancestors have granted to us. Only a fraction of the modern people nowadays can actually understand this kind of divine and magical abilities." 3
After that, Jefferson said, "It is already midnight in the United States now. So, it will not be good for me to contact Old Master Lennard at this time. You should just wait patiently first. I will give him a phone call when it is evening here, as it will be morning over there, then."
Sophie hurriedly replied, "I am counting on you, Grandpa!"
At this moment, Charlie had already rushed home to prepare lunch.
Although Elaine had broken her leg, she stood with the help of her crutches as she assisted Charlie in the kitchen.
As Charlie was busy preparing lunch, Elaine felt a little ashamed as she said, "My good son-in-law, I should be the one cooking for you, but it is inconvenient for me to do so because of my broken leg. In the end, you have to step up and cook instead. I really feel very bad and guilty!"
Charlie smiled slightly before he said, "Mom, you don't have to be so polite with me. Anyway, I don't have anything much to do. So, it is only right for me to do some housework too." 4
After that, Charlie said to Elaine, "Mom, Claire and Dad should be reaching home soon. I will go and cook another tomato and egg soup. We can start eating as soon as they come home, then."
Elaine hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, my good son-in-law. I will help you to wash the tomatoes, then!"
