Chapter 865 "Whoever he is, if he dares to hurt you, he will pay the price," he said as if suppressing his emotions. He gently held her hand with his big palm. "I won't give him any chance." Sylvia's almond eyes flickered and she clasped the man's hot and dry hand. "No, you won't." Both of them guessed that man's identity but no one spoke out loud.
Franklin slowly caressed Sylvia's face. "What are you thinking about?" His deep gaze outlined her beautiful face to perfection.
"We're flying to Aettosa tomorrow. | was thinking... you can fly again now, do you want to go back to your company?" Sylvia pursed her red lips slightly.
"Why? Are you afraid my company will go bankrupt?" Franklin smiled lightly with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"I've noticed for a long time that you actually enjoy controlling planes up in the sky," Sylvia chuckled softly. "Others say why does a CEO have to fly planes? CEOs should just take flights instead. But really it's because you like it right?" Many people had prejudices against him flying planes as they thought what kind of CEO flies planes? CEOs should just take flights instead.
Franklin's hot hands embraced her waist and ignited flames on her body. He suddenly lowered his head and nibbled on her earlobe while whispering softly, "You know me well, Sylvia." The feeling of controlling an airplane smoothly at thirty thousand feet above ground was fascinating.
Sylvia didn't speak anymore; her thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Franklin smiled warmly and affectionately before lowering his head to kiss her rosy lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Gentry mansion consisted of several villas besides its main building which were converted into hospitals for patients suffering from various diseases or illnesses.
In front of the central villa lay a circular fountain pool where black cars slowly drove into through the gates before stopping by it.
The door opened as Casey walked down along with Carmelo beside him amidst sweet fragrances wafting through tulip gardens across this estate which enjoyed mild weather throughout red-light district making it seem like an entire flower garden itself .
Casey carefully cradled a green plant in his arms, looking as if he were holding a priceless treasure. Carmelo looked around and shouted, "Where's the gardener? Hurry up and come over here!" "Mr. Carmelo, what's wrong?" The gardener was watering the garden when he heard Carmelo's yell and rushed over panting.
"I'm entrusting this Healing Herb to you. You must take good care of it, understand?" Carmelo pointed to the Healing Herb in Casey's arms and said, "This is our entire family's lifeline!" "The Healing Herb? Master Casey found it?" The gardener excitedly took the Healing Herb from him. "Don't worry, leave it to me!" At this moment, everyone in the Gentry family heard the commotion in the courtyard and rushed out one after another.
Except for the patriarch who had seen Healing Herb once before, everyone else had only seen pictures of it in ancient medical books.
They all curiously surrounded the Healing Herb. "It looks green with leaves that look like narcissus flowers." "It can really grow so lushly? If it grows well, then we'll be saved right?" "Master Casey is really amazing this time. He actually brought back real Healing Herb." "God bless our family!" Augustus Gentry exclaimed excitedly. He was Casey's father and said lovingly yet excitedly, "Casey, you've done great this time by getting your hands on some real Healing Herb! Your illness can now be cured.” "Dad, this time | was able to get my hands on this plant because of a mysterious couple who helped me." As she spoke, Casey walked towards villa hall with her father.
After watching for a while, the others followed them into villa hall too.
After listening to what Casey had said, Augustus looked shocked,"You mean... she spent ten million dollars buying it but gave it away for free to you?" "Yes," Casey blushed slightly, and even his eyes showed some shyness, "She is very beautiful, and very kind. Her husband is also handsome, tall, and dashing. Judging by their appearance, they should be people from Aettosa or H Rovirsa." "You... didn't ask who your benefactor was?" Augustus stared at his son with an eerie expression.
Wasn't finding out who their benefactor was supposed to be important? Why did he describe their appearance instead? "Ah? | forgot... By the time | remembered, they had already left,” Casey said, annoyed as he slapped his forehead. He blamed Sylvia for being too pretty and her fighting stance too cool! He got too excited after receiving the Healing Herb...
So...
Carmelo was also a bit embarrassed. "I forgot too." Who knew that Casey would cry so loudly at that time? When he cried, Carmelo felt very heartbroken and only focused on taking care of him without thinking much.
Augustus stared at them with some frustration. "Forget it, how can we find them in this vast sea of people? Since you said they might be from Aettosa or H Rovirsa, I'll send some people to look for them!" Just then, an elderly man in his seventies walked out from the inner hall. He squinted his weather-beaten eyes slightly and pinched his fingers as if calculating something.
Upon seeing this, Augustus immediately walked over respectfully. "Reginald, have you figured anything out?" "This is a great opportunity for our Blood Medical Sect!" Reginald Gentry sighed and put away his fingers with a pleased expression on his old face. "This benefactor has a significant background; | calculated that she is from H Rovirsa but will be in Aettosa in the next few days facing a tricky situation. However, | cannot predict what exactly it is." Blood Medical Sect's fortune prospered because their family produced an outstanding diviner like Reginald who could foresee major events happening to the Gentry family before they occurred.
Recently he had been in seclusion and did not know about what happened when Casey and Carmelo went to the auction house together.
However, during meditation he still managed to calculate certain things; thus when he came out of seclusion mode earlier than expected he saw all commotion happening inside.
"So let's go to Aettosa immediately and lend our benefactor a helping hand." Casey blinked as he spoke; His simple mind thought Sylvia must have been injured or something worse happened to her.
"Hold on," Reginald stopped him. "We need careful consideration before making any decisions regarding this matter - first we need to find out where our benefactor is located before deciding how best we can help her." Augustus nodded approvingly. "Reginald makes sense - let us first locate our benefactor by sending people searching through various airports or train stations etc., if we can find her, then Blood Medical Sect must repay her karmic debt.” The members of the Gentry family trusted Reginald's notion of karma and fate which often led them towards good fortunes and opportunities .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Augustus's phone rang.
"Mr. Augustus, we just received a batch of injured patients from the gang fight. Hurry and have everyone come over to treat them," shouted a doctor from the Gentry family.
Upon hearing this, Augustus quickly said to everyone, "Let's go to the medical department. We have received a new batch of injured patients." So almost everyone in the Gentry family rushed towards another building.
The Wright Family.
Mrs. Wright had started watering her flowers early in the morning when she saw Jenna coming downstairs. She looked outside at the gloomy weather and said, "Jenna, let's go to the mall together today and get some decorations for Christmas trees or anything else that can create a festive atmosphere.” Thinking about Christmas made her feel uneasy because Franklin and Sylvia would be away during that time.
Urgford had been cold for quite some time now with heavy snowfall recently but spring was just around the corner after Christmas was over.
"Today is December 23rd already, mom! Are there any more Christmas-related items left?" Brayden ran his fingers through his hair as he came down from upstairs. "They must have sold out by now!" "The supermarket has everything! They keep selling until December 25th!" Mrs. Wright put down her watering can,” You drive us there." Cody also came out of his room saying," I'm on vacation until after New Year's Day so I'll come too! It'll be fun if we all go together as a family." "Okay, then let's go!" Mrs. Wright said as she put on her shoes sadly thinking about how unfortunate it was that Sylvia and Franklin couldn't spend Christmas with them this year.
The Wright Family went to the mall while Franklin and Sylvia were on their way flying towards Aettosa.
Two hours later.
Aettosa International Airport.
As soon as they landed at Aettosa airport, Franklin and Sylvia hailed a taxi right away. They hadn't been in it long before Franklin noticed someone following them behind him. Sylvia raised an eyebrow upon hearing him, whispering softly, "Someone is tailing us." Jasper had booked their hotel beforehand. The car stopped at their hotel twenty minutes later. As they got off with their luggage , a black car pulled up beside theirs. Franklin pretended not to notice but he saw an excited young man emerging from inside one of its windows. He seemed like he was talking on his phone but they couldn't hear what he was saying exactly.
"It doesn't look like they're intentionally following us," Franklin raised an eyebrow and looked at Sylvia, who blinked her watery eyes. "Could we have been mistaken?" "I'l interrogate them and find out," Jasper said as he started walking towards the two men.
However, to their surprise, the two young men excitedly ran towards them and exclaimed, "You... you are benefactors of our Gentry family?" "| am from the Gentry family." "That... that Healing Herb!" "You gave it to us!"
