Chapter 14 Grateful

• Only extraordinary people deserved that kind of card.
• Osmond used to be Nine-Star Commander in the northwest and commanded millions of soldiers.
• Hence, he had the right to own one.
• After all, the title of Nine-Star Commander was an extremely prestigious one.
• Money was like waste paper to him.
• As for power, he had already reached the pinnacle of it.
• “However, that's in the past now.” Osmond slowly raised his head and muttered while staring at the ceiling.
• His mind flashbacked to the time when millions of soldiers would push across even the harshest environment with him when he gave the order.
• Back then, he had all the money and power he could ever want.
• Yet, at the current moment, he was a nobody living in seclusion in a small town, deserted by everyone.
• Even his legs had abandoned him, making him a cripple.
• “However, this isn't enough to beat me down. After all, I'm Osmond Lestrange.” Osmond shifted his line of sight away, picked up silver needles, and began performing acupuncture on himself.
• Since both of his legs were crippled, he had to speed up the treatment.
• He didn't dare to give Paul a call willy-nilly because the situation was still uncertain.
• Although he was confident that the next time Paul called him, everything would change by then.
• The next day, Abraham and Dorian rushed over to Terence's location early in the morning.
• Dorian was worried about Terence's condition while Abraham was waiting to laugh at Dorian and Osmond like they were jokes.
• Yesterday, not only did Terence think very highly of Osmond, but Osmond was also praised as a divine physician by Samuel.
• If Terence's condition weren't treated after all that praise, it would be very ironic.
• Staring at Terence, Dorian asked with anticipation, “How are you feeling, Grandpa?”
• “I slept very soundly last night! Mr. Lestrange truly is a divine physician!” Terence couldn't help but praise Osmond while looking very excited.
• Usually, his body temperature would slowly rise in the afternoon before it went down when evening rolled around.
• Then, at ten during the night, his entire body would start to experience extreme pain.
• It was as though ten thousand ants were biting him.
• To say it was an agonizing experience for Terence would be an understatement.
• However, after Osmond treated him last night, he noticed his body temperature remained stable when he monitored his temperature.
• In fact, at ten during the night, the usual pain that had been tormenting him didn't appear at all.
• For the first time in ten years, Terence finally had a good night's sleep.
• The gratitude he felt toward Osmond at the moment came from the bottom of his heart.
• Obviously, Dorian was happy for the old man.
• Abraham, who had been waiting to laugh at Dorian, scurried away.
• “Mr. Chaucer said Mr. Lestrange is a divine physician. It seems like he wasn't lying at all!” Dorian exclaimed.
• “This is a favor that the Linnell family must repay Mr. Lestrange!” Terence promptly stood up and said, “Is there anything Mr. Lestrange wants?”
• Upon shaking his head, Dorian replied, “Mr. Lestrange is eccentric. He doesn't want anything and only asked us to help out the Quantrill family a little.”
• With a faint nod, Terence said, “Those who are capable tend to be eccentric. However, even if Mr. Lestrange said he doesn't want anything, we can't just not give him anything.”
• Dorian agreed, “I agree, but I don't know what's appropriate to give him as a gift. How about money?”
• “No!” Terence shook his hands. “Money isn't appropriate. Hmm, since Mr. Lestrange's legs are crippled, it must be inconvenient for him to move around. I think you should pick a car and give it to him so he'll have transport.”
• Dorian's eyes glimmered. That's right! I bet transport is what Osmond needs the most right now. This will be enough to show him how sincere we are.
• “All right! I'll do that right away.” He promptly stood up and was ready to leave.
• “Remember, you need to pick a good car!” Terence reminded.
• With a confident nod, Dorian replied, “I understand!”
• During the afternoon, Osmond was about to withdraw some money with his bank card.
• At that moment, he was penniless, so he needed some money.
• Otherwise, he would not even have the money to pay for the taxi fare.
• Thus, all Osmond could do was head to the nearest bank in his wheelchair.
• He recalled that the bank wasn't that far away from Constance's workplace.
• It was her request to work somewhere near her home so she could take care of Osmond more easily.
• After half an hour of pushing his wheelchair, he finally arrived at the bank.
• Bang! Bang!
• Suddenly, he heard loud sounds.
• It was as though someone was putting on fireworks.
• With slightly furrowed eyebrows, Osmond turned in the direction of the sounds.
• It was then he saw many people surrounding Constance's workplace.
• Men and women were standing around watching something.
• There were at least more than a hundred people there, and many of them were holding their cameras and taking pictures.
• A lot of people were also holding confetti poppers in their hands. Confetti decorated the sky when they popped them.
• There was a young man wearing a premium white suit in the crowd. He was holding a large bouquet of roses with a smile.
• The young man was already pretty handsome. His white suit only further accentuated his noble quality.
• In fact, he looked like a prince charming.
• Osmond frowned slightly as he uttered icily, “Kieran!”
• The young man who looked like a prince charming was the person who refused to give up on chasing after Constance's love, Kieran Zeller.
