Female Novel
Chapter 5454
Molie gazed at the trio of venerable octogenarians before him, his attention drawn to Maria, who stoodbeside him, still exuding a childlike aura that left him momentarily perplexed.
The three elderly men were undeniably ancient, their wealth of experience and wisdom evident even intheir limited interactions. Yet, when faced with Maria, they seemed like children obediently followingtheir parents instructions.
Though Maria herself appeared youthful, her demeanor toward the elderly trio was strict, akin to that ofa stern parent, creating an intriguing contrast that left Molie feeling somewhat out of place.
Shaking off his confusion, he politely addressed them, “Please, the three of you may rise.”
However, the old men merely lifted their heads to look at Maria in unison.
Unperturbed, Maria nodded calmly and said, “Since Mr. Wade has spoken, you may all stand up.”
The trio helped each other up and though Molie was tempted to assist, Maria’s words stopped him,“Young Master, they can manage on their own.”
Awkwardly nodding, Molie withdrew his hand.
After they were on their feet, Molie hastened to say, “Gentlemen, I urge you to take the RejuvenationPill as soon as possible. It will greatly improve your health.”
Still, the elderly trio remained silent, their attention fixed on Maria once again.
Maria nodded approvingly and stated, “Master Wade has advised you to take it, so you should.”
She then produced three cups from under the tea table, adding, “Since Mr. Wade has gifted you theRejuvenation Pill, allow me to offer you a cup of tea as well.”
With that, she poured three cups of golden-red tea from the teapot and continued, “This tea is madefrom the tea cakes of the Mother of Pu’er. I have never asked for anything in return from you all sinceyou were children, call me stingy if you will. But this tea is something I cherish deeply, a treasure I’munwilling to part with. However, today’s lunch is a special occasion, and I’m willing to share it with all ofyou.”
The elderly men were left speechless, their shock evident.
None of them expected Maria to brew the rare Mother of Pu’er tea cakes for them. Having grown upalongside her, they knew of her love for tea and the Mother of Pu’er was her most prized possession,irreplaceable by any worldly wealth.
Maria had never shared this precious tea with anyone except for Jamie, who was the sole exception.Larry Cole took the tea knife to express gratitude and began to separate the elixir on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Molie interjected, “Mr. Cole, please don’t trouble yourself.”
Startled, Larry Cole looked at Richard.
Unfazed, Molie produced another Rejuvenation Pill and handed it to Larry Cole, saying, “This one is foryour wife. Please pass it on to her.”
This gesture left not only Larry Cole but even Maria dumbfounded.
Molie’s generosity in giving a priceless Rejuvenation Pill to Larry Cole’s wife, someone he had nevermet, caught them all by surprise.
Molie’s motivation was simple, gratitude towards Maria for saving his life. As orphans brought up byMaria, the three elderly men held a special place in her heart. Molie felt that Maria trusted Larry Cole’swife and thus, he was generous to those close to her.
Molie believed in returning kindness with kindness and Maria’s act of saving his life left him indebted toher. To him, giving a few Rejuvenation Pills or even producing a batch for them paled in comparison tothe depth of Maria’s kindness.novelbin
Larry Cole, though thrilled and amazed, didn’t dare to accept the pill without approval, thus turning toMaria, awaiting her decision.
Though Larry Cole couldn’t comprehend the reason behind Molie’s magnanimity, he knew it hadsomething to do with Maria. Her status must have played a role in this generosity.
Since they were raised by Maria, they were profoundly grateful to her, and they wouldn’t dare to takeadvantage of her goodwill for their own benefit.
Thus, it all came down to Maria’s consent if the Rejuvenation Pill could be accepted.
Maria looked deeply at Jamie, her heart moved and she instructed Larry Cole, “Mr. Wade has shownkindness, you shouldn’t refuse it. Kneel on behalf of your wife and thank Mr. Wade for his blessing!Now, go ahead and take the medicine!”
Larry Cole rose slowly, glancing at the two elderly men beside him. Together, the three men placed aRejuvenation Pill in their mouths.
The magic of the Rejuvenation Pill once again unfolded before their eyes.
Their bodies underwent a remarkable transformation, aging rapidly in reverse.
Watching the three of them grow younger, Maria’s eyes welled up with tears.
As she mentioned earlier, after World War II, the constant threat of the Warriors Den made it difficult forher to continue adopting orphans.
Larry Cole and the others were among the few orphans she had taken in, and their potential departurewould usher in profound loneliness for Maria. It could be a hundred-year-long loneliness that only deathcould reverse.
Although Maria always appeared composed in front of them, she had developed a sense ofdependence on them deep in her heart. If these three individuals could gain twenty more years of life, itwould alleviate her loneliness for the same period.
