Chapter 120 Winner And Loser

“Old Mdm. Brown, I’ll be taking my leave now. I’ll come again in a few days.”
“Take care, Mr. Larkin!”
After stepping out of the sterile ward, Stephen, who had been waiting outside for a long time, approached. “Finnegan, can we go now?”
A complicated look spread across his face as he spoke. I can’t believe Finnegan actually kept that old man waiting for so long. More incredulously, that old man isn’t mad at all!
Finnegan nodded. “Lead the way.”
Soon, Finnegan followed Stephen to the courtyard, where he had met with Nathan the other day.
However, this time, Stephen didn’t enter with Finnegan. “My grandpa and his guest are inside.”
Finnegan hummed in response before proceeding inside.
Under the same ancient tree, Nathan was playing chess with a seemingly ordinary yet commanding old
