After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

The Patriarch observed his grandson’s handsome face: “You seem to be in a good mood?”

Adrian’s fingers paused. “Am I?”

The Patriarch picked up his teacup: “Your home’s been turned upside down, and you’re still smiling. If that’s not a good mood, what is?

You little rascal!”

Adrian knew the Patriarch was still upset about him not taking his treatment seriously. He poured another cup of tea. “Grandfather, Uno must have told you about my recent physical condition and… some of the people I’ve met.”

The Patriarch looked toward the heavens, feigning ignorance: “Uno is your bodyguard. Why would he tell me such details?”

“You have a point, Grandfather.”

Adrian’s voice held a hint of laughter.

The Patriarch really couldn’t be bothered to engage in this evasive wordplay with his grandson.

Everyone in the Winthrop family was straightforward, except for this little rascal of his-he was slyly mischievous!

“Alright, just tell me. Who among the people who came today is the Miracle Doctor Uno mentioned!”

The Patriarch wanted to talk to the person alone, and also to thank them.

Although he knew that countless famous doctors, both at home and abroad, had diagnosed his grandson and said he wouldn’t live past 27.

But at least this rascal’s appetite was increasing now, which was tremendous news for the Winthrop family.

Adrian was tight-lipped: “Guess for yourself, Grandfather.”

The Patriarch actually took out the list he had prepared: “Could it be this young doctor from the Pennington family?”

“His medical skills aren’t that great.”

“The one from the Davis Clan?”

The Patriarch guessed almost everyone from the younger generation, but his thoughts never landed on Annelise.

“It can’t possibly be that interesting little girl I met.”

The Patriarch leaned on his cane, shaking his head: “No way!”

Chapter 73

“You little rascal, aside from family, you’re practically allergic to any girl who gets near you!”

It is that little girl!

Uno screamed internally. He was right there but couldn’t dare to give a hint.

After all, when his young master found out he had leaked the news about the Miracle Doctor to the old chairman, he was already considering sending him to Africa.

He couldn’t afford to say another word!

Adrian remained impassive, his fingers rolling the rosary beads, the corner of his eye lifting slightly: “It seems you’re quite pleased with that young girl, Grandfather.”

“She is indeed interesting.”

Speaking of what happened in the consultation room, the Patriarch’s mood finally improved a little, his deep voice tinged with a smile: “You have no idea how clever she is. She was clearly the one who treated me, but she pushed the credit onto someone else.”

That does sound like her style. Adrian concealed the smile in his eyes: “Someone would actually refuse the credit giv- en by the Winthrop family?”

“That girl probably felt that since the three of them were a team, it wouldn’t be right for her to take all the credit.”

The Patriarch’s words were filled with admiration: “Unaffected by honor or disgrace, and she understands how to ad- vance and retreat together. She’s destined for greatness. Her medical skills are excellent too. It’s just a pity she’s a girl and can’t get close to you.”

This was also what the Patriarch worried about the most.

To think that his grandson had never been close to anyone since he was a child.

The Patriarch’s mouth felt dry: “What are we going to do about your marriage?”

“Don’t worry, Grandfather.”

Adrian said unhurriedly: “I’ve already mentioned to Old Man Caldwell that my health makes it impossible for me to marry.”

Hearing this, the Patriarch’s mustache practically bristled: “Was I telling you to break off the engagement?”
