The Man’s Decree

Chapter 175 Eternally Grateful

With a wave of his hand, Jared retrieved all the silver needles and placed them back in the cloth pouch.

“All is good now. She’ll be right as rain after resting for a few days,” Jared said to Kieran.

“Darling, Darling!” Kieran hurriedly called out to his wife.

The elderly woman slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the crowd in the room, she murmured in bewilderment, “Why are there so many people here, Kieran?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it! They’re here to treat you. You’re fine now, so just rest!” Kieran urged in euphoria when he had ascertained that his wife had truly recovered.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Jared and the others left the room quietly and went to the courtyard. When Kieran came out, he dropped to his knees before Jared right away.

Jared was stunned for a moment, but he swiftly reached out and pulled the man up without allowing the latter’s knees to touch the ground.

“You’re truly my family’s savior! I thank you for your kindness! We don’t have much money, so I really don’t know how I should repay you…”

Kieran kept thanking him incessantly.

He was skeptical in the beginning, but he was then eternally grateful to Jared.

“Mr. Chance isn’t here for money, so you don’t need to do this, Kieran,” Walter advised.

If it were because of money, he wouldn’t be here!

“True, true! He isn’t hurting for money at all!” Kieran nodded fervently. After all, he had seen Jared and Josephine arriving in a luxurious car, so Jared couldn’t possibly be strapped for cash.

“Let me get you a few chickens and ducks instead so that you can have a feast later, Mr. Chance! I rear them myself, and they’re all well taken care of.” While saying that, he made to go and catch a few chickens and ducks for Jared.

At that, Jared quickly stopped him from doing so, asserting, “Don’t be such a stranger with me, Mr. Snyder. If you really want to thank me, do you mind giving me the meat reishi mushroom? I don’t mind paying for it!”

Hearing that, Kieran was stumped and regarded the man with a look of puzzlement. “Didn’t you say that it has no medicinal value and is poisonous instead, Mr. Chance? Why do you want it?”

“Indeed, it’s of no use to the average person. However, I need it for my training.”

It so happened that Jared could use it in his training. In fact, he believed that he would improve by leaps and bounds if he absorbed the essence of the meat reishi mushroom.

“Since it’s of use to you, just take it, Mr. Chance. I’m going to dump it anyway, as I don’t dare keep it at home anymore!”

Without an ounce of hesitation, Kieran handed the meat reishi mushroom in his hand to Jared.

Jared wanted to pay for it, but Kieran staunchly declined and refused to take his money.

After leaving Kieran’s house, Josephine lamented in disappointment, “I initially thought that I’d get to see some novel things, but there was nothing at all.”

At the sight of her crestfallen expression, Jared chuckled softly. “There aren’t that many ghosts and spirits in this world. Anyway, just don’t pass out in fright if you do have the opportunity to see them.”

“That won’t happen with you protecting me!” Josephine beamed at him.

After dropping Jared off, Josephine sped off. And no sooner had the former gone upstairs did Hilda slowly come out from behind a gigantic tree in the courtyard in the neighborhood. She stared at the man’s back, a riot of emotions brewing within her.

She had been secretly waiting there for him, wanting to see who exactly the woman was. However, she didn’t get to do so, since it was too dark, and Josephine didn’t alight from the car.

“Let’s go home, Sweetie. If he really chose to date the rich girl, that’s his choice,” Chloe murmured, patting her daughter gently on the shoulder.

“Yeah.” Hilda nodded, but tears shimmered in her eyes.

When Jared arrived home, he went to bed early. It was Saturday the following day, so he was planning to make a trip to Dragon Bay. The spiritual energy there was more bountiful, and there was no one to disrupt him. Therefore, it was the perfect opportunity for him to absorb the essence of the meat reishi mushroom.
