Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Korah and Wade were in shock and disbelief when they saw Cyrus standing under the spotlight on thestage beside Zedekiah. Lufian’s eyes were wide as he watched Cyrus walk across the stage. He could not believe what he wasseeing Zedekiah was important, and it was practically impossible to meet someone like him, let alone be able tostand beside him. Cyrus felt resigned. He truly did not like to be in the spotlight. Mr. Frank once told him that keeping a lowprofile was the kingly way. If Zedekiah had not helped Gardner Corporation with its wish to have theInternational Prosperous Project, he would never have agreed to this. “Cyrus, is there something youwant to say?” Zedekiah asked with a smile. Cyrus shook his head, looking uninterested.Zedekiah was a wise man. He naturally noticed Cyrus’ demeanor and laughed cheerfully.” Since Cyrushas nothing to say, I have something to say…” After some polite remarks, he asked the waiters to startserving delicious food for the audience to enjoy. Everyone thought Zedekiah would continue his speech.They laughed a little as they thought to themselves, ‘This young man is not getting much attention. Mr.Gardner probably only mentioned him once for Truman’s sake.’ They naturally knew that Zedekiah came to Fliton City to get Truman to treat him. This young man wasprobably Truman’s successor or his student. ‘It’s natural that Truman is paving this young man’s pathusing Mr. Gardner’s fame.’ Cyrus excused himself and got off the stage. When he found Truman, he saidto him in a low voice, “Mr. Truman, just say that you saved Mr. Penn and it has nothing to do with me. Trynot to get me involved in this. “I won’t be staying in Fliton City for too long. I’ll be heading back to myvillage in three months or at most six months’ time. My master likes peace and quiet. If many people findout and come to me for treatment, my master will definitely yell at me.” novelbin

Truman was shocked. ‘Cyrus’ master… must be a great master that lives in seclusion!’ “You’re only staying here temporarily…? Aren’t you marrying Mr. Gardner’s granddaughter?” Truman

could not help but ask. “I’m not.” Cyrus shook his head. ‘Please don’t say that!’ Thump thump! Thumpthump! Truman could not help but raise his eyebrows as his heartbeat increased. ‘I was there when Mr. Gardner told Korah and Cyrus to register their marriage. ‘I thought they already tied the knot. Turnsout… they haven’t?! “This is good news! “Of course, no worries! I’ll handle Mr. Penn.” Truman tried to suppress his happiness as he replied with astern face. Cyrus smiled. “Thank you, Dr. Cohen!” At this moment, Alda came over, blushing, and lookedat Cyrus with hope. “Cyrus, I heard that there is a beautiful sea of lights in this manor. Will you come withme to see it?” Cyrus thought about it and agreed, since he was free. “Sure.” Truman felt happy when he saw how close the two of them were becoming. “You two go ahead. I’ll go and find Mr. Penn.” Alda said playfully, “Grandpa, bye-bye!” After they went off, Truman lamented, “Girls really just forgettheir own families when they meet someone they love…”. He got ready and was about to look for Redmond in the private room. However, when he was about toleave, someone behind him called out his name. “Dr. Cohen, wait!” Truman was slightly stunned. He turned to see who it was. ‘Huh? Isn’t that the Gardner family?’ Lufian ran to Truman. He panted a l?ttle as he looked around before asking hurriedly,” Where’s Cyrus?” Truman thought for a moment and said, “He has something to do, so he left first.” Korah asked, “Did you bring Cyrus here?” Truman thought to himself, ‘It looks like Lufian and the rest ofthe family don’t seem to know that Cyrus had helped Gardner Corporation. ‘Should I tell them?’ Truman decided not to tell them! There was no other reason for it. He wanted Alda and Cyrus to be together. Since Korah was not marriedto Cyrus, he must do everything it took to make sure that Cyrus did not become a part of the Gardnerfamily.

“Well, Cyrus helped me when Mr. Penn came for treatment. So, I introduced him to Mr. Penn.” ‘I see…’ Wade looked at Korah as he let out a sigh of relief.
