The butler, Titus Woods gazed at his master, Nash Woods, who laid on the bed. Titus nodded solemnly. "We managed to see them, but they refused to come back with us. Moreover, they gave us no clear answer on whether they'll come here or when they'll come."
Disappointment welled in Nash's eyes when Titus relayed that piece of information. "It's all my fault... I've wronged them. I just didn't realize that Fane would hate me so much that he refuses to come back and see me one last time, knowing that I'm going to die. Sigh, this has to be my retribution, isn't it?"
However, different from what he imagined, Titus spoke again, "Master, I believe that the young master will return because before we left, Joan told us that Fane has something important to do and needs time t o think about it. I believe that Fane will come back to see you, but it might take some time, no sooner than now."
"Is that true?” The corners of Nash's eyes grew moist when he heard that. “That's... That’s good to hear! I haven't seen Fane for so many years, and I really want to see what he looks like now...!”
“Master, the young master is as handsome as you!" Titus immediately smiled. "Apart from that, the young master is incredibly talented. Four young people from the Lambert family paid a visit to the Taylors because they had some misunderstandings with them before.
Those people stirred trouble with them, and we saw how Young Master Fane killed all four of them on his own. His sword aura attacks were hauntingly powerful!" "Really? I had no idea that Fane could achieve so much in the normal world and under such an environment. If he grew up i n the Woods family and we trained him from a young age, he would've achieved an even higher altitude now!" Nash was pleasantly excited when he heard this news. That was his son! Nash Woods' son was really talented and successful.
Titus paused before continuing to speak, "B y the way, Master, there are some misunderstandings between us and the young master. I think that the eldest madam caused such issues!"
Nash frowned and immediately asked. " Misunderstandings? What misunderstandings?"
"Didn't you ask the Ninth Patronum to send the young master and Joan one million every year? You even asked him to send resources that will help their physical fitness, right? However, Joan told us that they've never received any of these things o r any of the money, and Fane went to the battlefield because they lacked money. Although he managed to survive the challenges throughout those five years, Young Master Fane must've experienced many life-and-death situations on the battlefield," Titus’s eyes turned red as he spoke. "Sigh! I can't imagine how difficult life has been for them these past few years!"
"Damn it...! How dare Brenton take these things for himself?! He even pretended to leave the house several days every year, and told me that he found Fane! He lied to me, saying Fane and Joan lived a comfortable life!" Nash knew then why Fane refused to return and visit even when Titus told him his days were numbered. It turned out that the Ninth Patronum, Brenton Woods had always been lying and hiding things from him.
