A few minutes later, all the servants of Zilian Villa retreated to their rooms.
Marius, being meticulous as ever, even requested Larry Cole to temporarily suspend surveillance
throughout the entire villa. After all, the reputation of their young lady was at stake, and they couldn’t
afford any hidden risks.
With everything settled, Marius contacted Maria to provide an update. Then, Maria turned to Viola and
said, “Master, Marius and the others are ready. Let’s head downstairs.”
Viola nodded and replied graciously, “Thank you, Miss Clark.”
Maria smiled sweetly and replied, “My lord, there’s no need to be so formal with me.”
Viola carefully stowed away the painting and calligraphy, and together with Maria, he walked out of the
courtyard on the top floor.
Upon reaching the courtyard’s gate, they spotted three elderly individuals standing respectfully in a line
at the base of the long stone steps.
To Viola’s surprise, among them was a prominent figure he had often seen on television before –
Keagan Myers from the capital.
During his youth, he frequently heard tales of this remarkable and inspirational man from the elders
around him. He even visited him once with his father. However, it wasn’t until today that he discovered
Keagan Myers was one of the orphans adopted by Maria all those years ago.
Viola and Maria descended the stone steps together, and the three elderly individuals greeted Maria
respectfully, saying, “Greetings, Miss.”
Afterwards, they turned their respectful gaze towards Viola and greeted him in the same manner,
“Greetings, Mr. Wade.”
Some found it a bit uncomfortable. After all, the combined age of these three individuals was nearly
300 years, and it felt somewhat odd to be so deferential to a 28-year-old young man.
Hence, Viola reciprocated respectfully, “Greetings, esteemed elders.”
Keagan Myers, observing Ishac, couldn’t help but sigh, “Mr. Wade truly resembles your father. As the
saying goes, ‘A tiger father begets a tiger son.'”
Viola replied respectfully, “Grandpa Myers, I visited your home with my father when I was young. I
wonder if you still recall that.”
Keagan Myers nodded and said, “I remember, of course I remember. Your parents brought you to my
house for dinner. I still remember what transpired back then. I can’t believe so many years have flown
by.” He couldn’t help but express his emotions, “Your father was truly a world-class talent. He engaged
me in extensive discussions about the global economic development and the changing world order. His
long-term vision and accurate assessment of the situation were unparalleled in my life. Sadly, fate can
be envious of talent.”
Viola also felt a tinge of melancholy.
He had heard adults mention Keagan Myers in passing. During that time, his father had numerous
aspirations upon returning to China, and Keagan Myers had always wanted to cooperate with him on a
grand scale. Unfortunately, his father suddenly severed all ties with the Wade family due to
irreconcilable contradictions, and he went to Aurous Hill.
While Viola was lost in thought, he noticed that despite Keagan Myers’s outward toughness, his aura
was feeble, indicating that he was nearing the end of his lifespan. It seemed that he only had a few
months left to live.
Therefore, Viola remarked, “Grandpa Myers, you don’t appear to be in good health.”
Keagan Myers was taken aback and asked in surprise, “How did Mr. Wade notice that?”
“A little knowledge of medicine,” Viola replied.
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but lament inwardly. These three individuals were all quite elderly, and
they were indeed nearing the end of their lives.
Keagan Myers had only a few months left, while Larry Cole and Marius Cross, judging by their
conditions, likely had only a few years at most.
Keagan Myers sighed, “When a person reaches my age, they’re running on fumes. It’s only natural to
have poor health.” Viola nodded slightly, thinking to himself that Maria had saved his life, and he should
repay that debt of gratitude. These three were orphans raised by Maria, and Keagan Myers, in
particular, was in the most critical condition. He didn’t have much time left to live, so Viola felt
compelled to offer assistance.
Moreover, Keagan Myers had shown kindness to his father by knowing him.
Considering both his emotions and rationality, he couldn’t simply stand by and ignore Keagan Myers’s
current situation.
Thus, he said, “Gentlemen, I have urgent matters to attend to today. After I resolve them, I will visit you
three again. At that time, I will prepare some things that can improve your quality of life. I believe it will
be beneficial for all three of you.”
The three of them were taken aback.
They didn’t know much about Ishac, only that he possessed great supernatural powers and was
Maria’s benefactor. They were unaware of the effectiveness of Viola’s medicine.
At this moment, Maria, filled with joy, chimed in, “Keagan, as I’ve mentioned, your birthplace is in
Aurous Hill. It seems that everything depends on Mr. Wade. Why don’t you thank Mr. Wade for saving
your life?” She raised an eyebrow, waiting for their reaction.
Keagan Myers’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Maria turned to the other two and urged, “Marius, Larry, Mr. Wade is bestowing good fortune upon you.
What are you waiting for?”
Excitement surged within them, and they were on the verge of bowing down to Josef.
Viola quickly intervened, using both hands to stop them. He said, “Please, esteemed elders, do not
inconvenience yourselves. I am pressed for time, and I will come to visit tomorrow to discuss matters in
detail.” With that, he looked at Maria and added, “Miss Clark, let us depart.”
Maria nodded gently and immediately addressed the three of them, “Later, you may resume your
regular activities.”
Larry Cole respectfully replied, “Yes, Miss.”
In the courtyard of Zilian Villa, a Rolls-Royce awaited, its door open.
Maria prepared to take the driver’s seat, but Viola stepped forward and said, “Miss Clark, allow me to
drive.”
Maria nodded, making her way to the passenger seat.
After they entered the car, Viola drove down the mountain toward Thompson First.
During the journey, Maria expressed her gratitude, saying, “Master, Marius and the others are quite old.
If it weren’t for your divine intervention, they would have difficulty surviving for another three to five
years. On their behalf, I thank you for your kindness.”
Viola smiled faintly and responded, “It’s merely three pills; it’s not a great favor. Besides, Mr. Myers and
my father were old acquaintances. Now that we’ve met, it’s only natural that we can’t stand idly by.”
Glancing at Maria, he continued, “As you mentioned, you haven’t taken in orphans since World War II.
The youngest of these orphans must be seventy or eighty years old by now, correct?”
Maria suddenly appeared somewhat melancholic, letting out a soft sigh. She spoke, “These
individuals… Although I have always told them that I treat them as servants since they reached an
understanding, in my heart, I’ve always regarded them as family. The strict master-servant relationship
is maintained to ensure I don’t reveal my vulnerabilities. But when they pass away, one by one, my
heart aches deeply.”
Viola nodded earnestly, understanding her sentiments. He said, “Now, these three esteemed elders
can finally accompany you. If I can extend their lifespans, they will be able to stay by your side for
longer. As a young woman, you lack the ability to protect yourself. Having them by your side will
provide much-needed support.”
Then, Viola continued, “If Aurous Hill can remain safe and secure, Miss Clark can live here
permanently. I am here, and if you ever need assistance, I will be there to help. I will do everything in
my power.”
Maria recognized Viola’s genuine concern for her and his empathy towards her three-hundred-year-
long struggle.
She looked at him gratefully, her voice choked with sobs, “My dear, thank you for your love…”
Viola spoke with utmost sincerity, “Miss Clark, in my eyes, the greatest acts of kindness in this world
are those of parents and life-saving grace. You saved my life, and I will never turn my back on you in
any circumstances.”
Viola’s words resonated from the depths of his heart.
He understood the immense hardships that Maria had endured throughout her life. He knew that once
these elderly individuals passed away, she would be left with no one to rely on, just like the early years
after taking the Eternal Green Pill.
Hence, Viola had made a firm decision that he would not let Maria lose her support in the next hundred
years of her life.
In that moment, tears streamed down Maria’s face.
For over three hundred years, she had never entertained the notion of relying on others. Reality had
never offered her the opportunity to lean on someone. But now, for the first time, she felt that her life
had finally found its pillar of support, and that pillar was Viola by her side!
