Thomas arrived at the Cadens’ mansion with Thea.
When Maxine saw them, her face went as white as a sheet.
The two of them approached the mansion at a steady pace.
Soon, they appeared at the mansion’s gates.
Maxine was slightly nervous but still walked forward and greeted them with a forced smile, “Granduncle. Thea. What brings you here?”
Thomas glanced at Maxine.
Maxine’s heartbeat hastened as soon as she met his eyes.
She pretended to be ignorant and asked with a smile, “Granduncle, Thea, why are you two back in the Capital as well? Also, what happened at Mount Thunder Sect, Thea? Why were you emitting such awful energy ?”
“I…”
Thea lowered her head and parted her lips to speak but could not bring herself to say anything.
Thomas did not question Maxine about how she led him astray and asked bluntly, “Is James in the Cadens’ mansion right now?”
Maxine nodded and replied, “Ah, yeah. James undergoing treatment in the backyard.”
Thomas raised his head and looked at the plaque hung on the gate.
Two words were engraved on the plaque—Cadens’ mansion.
He had not stepped foot into this place for a long time.
Thomas took a big step inside, and Thea followed after him.
Maxine glanced at Thea suspiciously. She could tell that something was wrong from the way Thea was actingand that something must have happened to her.
She quickly pulled Thea aside and whispered, “What’s wrong, Thea?”
“N-Nothing.”
Thea did not say much and quickly returned to Thomas’ side.
Thomas grew up in the Cadens’ mansion and was quite familiar with the place, so he managed to find his way to the backyard with ease.
Thomas found the wooden house in the backyard and pushed open the door.
He walked in and saw several Caden family members healing James’ wounds. Beside him was a wrinkled old man with white hair.
“T-Thomas…”
