"You don't feel dizzy? It seems that your condition has stabilized. Are you still taking the medicine I prescribed for you? Remember to take it on time. It will be beneficial for your health."
Maddox nodded. "Thank you, Doctor Hayes."
"Since there's nothing wrong with Mr. Sebastian's health, I can be rest assured when I return to Hidalgo. Thank you for your hospitality today, Master Collins."
Jarold stood up with a crutch and nodded. "Sebastian, go and see doctor Hayes off."
"No, you don't have to see me off. The driver is outside. Besides, I am familiar with the road here. I can go out by myself."
After saying that, Doctor Hayes left on his own as if he was afraid that Maddox would really see him off.
After he left, Jarold stroked his beard. "Why did Doctor Hayes run away so fast? Sebastian, were you being scary and making the others afraid of you?"
Maddox was speechless.
Jarold said, "Otherwise, why would he run away when he heard that you were the one who would be escorting him?"
Maddox said, "Grandfather, this has nothing to do with me."
When Jarold saw his cold face, he tutted, "Look at your face, you look like someone owes you a debt and you dared to say that it's none of your business."
"What can I do for you, Grandpa?"
He was not in high spirits and his tone was very cold.
When Jarold heard this, he immediately grew unhappy.
"You brat, is this your attitude to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jarold raised his crutch and hit Maddox. Maddox quickly dodged it and said with a frown, "Grandpa, is this your attitude towards your own grandson? I would be crippled if you hit me with a crutch from such height."
Jarold looked at him with interest. "You little brat, didn't you dodge?"
Maddox's face was cold. "I dodged. Is it relevant to you trying to hit me?"
The colder his expression was, the more Jarold felt that he was pleasing to the eye. His outer appearance was also very goodlooking, similar to his mother Aurora.
At the thought of Aurora, a pitiful look appeared on Jarold's aged face. "You look very much like your mother. It's a pity..."
Knock, knock-
Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the study room.
"Come in."
After the door was opened, a maid stood at the door and said respectfully, "Old Master, Mr. Sebastian. Miss Dormer is here."
"Hm?" Jarold picked his half- white brows. "Monica's here? Sebastian, hurry down the stairs and take care of her on my behalf."
"I'm not free." Without even thinking about it, Maddox rejected Jarold's request.
Jarold said, "You little brat dare to refuse me? How would it look like when Monica comes without a host? What's more, Monica cared about you so much before. Do you know..."
The old man started his nagging again. Maddox's head started to spin as he listened. He closed his dark eyes and opened them again. It was pitch-black inside. Finally, he turned around and walked out.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything.
Jarold wanted to chase after him to continue nagging. But when Maddox walked out, a sweet voice sounded from the outside.
"Sebastian!"
Maddox didn't give any response.
A smug smile appeared on Jarold's face. "Monica is here. I had asked him to accompany you on my behalf, have a good time."
'This brat, the girl has come up to him. Let's see how he can refuse her.'
