“Why is this happening? Isn't Grandpa's sickness under control?” Cade exclaimed with a concerned look.
“Didn't the three alchemists promise that Dad would be fine during these ten days? Why is he vomiting blood all of a sudden?” said Lawrence coldly, brows furrowed.
“I don't have any idea. The three alchemists were panicking, saying that there was nothing more they could do. That's why I came over to report the matter,” the subordinate explained helplessly.
“Uncle Lawrence, what's the matter with Grandpa?” Cloud asked anxiously.
“It's just an old ailment of your grandfather's. There's nothing for you to worry about.”
Lawrence wasn't keen on letting Cloud know too much.
“Uncle Lawrence, Mr. Chance isn't just an array master but also a renowned alchemist. Why don't we let Mr. Chance examine Grandpa?”
Cloud was certain that with Jared's capabilities, curing his grandfather wouldn't be difficult.
Lawrence merely threw Jared a glance before replying, “It's just something he had for a long time. He'll be fine.”
With that, Lawrence turned to Cade and instructed, “Cade, take Cloud with you to get some rest. I'll go check on your grandfather.”
After he finished, Lawrence hurriedly left with Livya and Miya following behind him.
Even though Cade watched Lawrence's leaving silhouette with a worried look on his face, he pretended to be fine by forcing a smile to reassure Cloud, “Don't worry, Cloud. It's just a minor ailment. Why don't I show you around?”
Cloud could immediately tell that Cade was lying, for the latter's honest demeanor made him a terrible liar.
“Cade, tell me the truth. Is Grandpa's condition very serious? Can you take me to see him? Perhaps his sickness will improve with his mood when he sees me,” Cloud suggested.
An awkward look descended upon Cade's face as he didn't know what to say.
