The Man’s Decree

Chapter 171 After getting off work, Hilda didn’t hitch a ride home with Jared but hailed a taxi home by herself. “What’s wrong with her today?” Jared murmured under his breath. He could sense her being listless the entire day, and she didn’t speak to him either. Having driven home, he got changed, and Josephine came to pick him up. A luxurious car idling in front of the dilapidated neighborhood attracted plenty of attention in a blink of an eye. “Who’s this wealthy lady, and why is she here in our shabby neighborhood?” “Could it be that she has taken a fancy to one of the lads here?” “It’s evident that she’s filthy rich at a single glance, so how could she possibly be interested in the lads here?” A group of elderly ladies was sitting by the neighborhood entrance, shooting the breeze, Among them was Chloe, and she was also very curious to know who exactly the person in the car was waiting for. However, when she spotted Jared exiting the neighborhood and getting into the car, she was wholly stumped. “Chloe, that’s Gary’s son, Jared, no?

Beside Walter stood a similarly elderly man with graying hair at his temples. However, his aura and dressing were as different as night and day from Walter. “This is Mr. Chance whom I spoke of, Kieran. His medical skills are unparalleled,” Walter murmured to the elderly man beside him. As soon as Kieran Snyder saw Jared, he froze with disbelief written all over his face. In his mind, he pictured a professor or expert over seventy years old, since Walter had revered the person so greatly to the point of addressing him as “Mr.” and lauding his medical skills. Thus, he never expected Jared to be so young, a mere kld to someone of his age.“Kieran, Kieran!” Walter called out to the man who had fallen into a trance.

In time, he rarely contacted his old friends anymore. After he had retired and returned to Horington once more, he got in touch with his old friends. He then wanted to help Kieran move from
