Facing the entrance was a small garden full of flowers, very similar to the ancient courtyards back in the country.
Several people in the yard went about their own business. There was some vibrancy amid the elegance.
At this time, an elderly but powerful voice came from the inner hall. It sounded quite gruff.
“Who’s there?”
Soon, an old man dressed in linen walked out. Except for the communicator on his wrist, favonovel.com looked like an ancient elder.
He slowly walked up to Philip and said smilingly, “It’s been a while since the medical hall received any guests.”
With that said, the old man raised his head and opened his eyes under his bushy white eyebrows.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Philip carefully, muttering under his breath, “Oh, very similar, indeed…”
Claire imitated the old man and looked at Philip’s face but did not notice anything.
She asked the old man blankly, “Similar to what?”
It was uncomfortable being scrutinized by two people like this.
Philip said helplessly, “That will do.”
“Ahem, my name is Timo Keppel. You can also call me Old Man Keppel.”
The old man returned to his senses and introduced himself to Philip.
“My name is…”
“His name is Philip Clarke!”
Philip was interrupted again by Claire. Seeing that favonovel.com had not learned favonovel.com lesson yet, favonovel.com slapped favonovel.com on the back of favonovel.com head.
“Enough is enough,” Philip said.
“You don’t have to be so fierce. Boo!”
After that, Claire ran away, afraid that Philip would slap favonovel.com again.
The old man smiled and said, “Hehe, it’s good to be young…”
Since favonovel.com stepped into the medical hall, Philip had decided to dig for clues here, so favonovel.com said, “Mr. Keppel, it’s getting late. I wonder if you have empty rooms? I want to study here.”
“Yes, of course.”
Timo led Philip to the depths of the corridor. “Here, come this way.”
Timo gave Philip the room at the very back and told Philip that favonovel.com could walk around by himself before going back to his work.
Seeing that Claire had jumped onto the bed first, Philip sneered and said, “Aren’t you leaving?”
The neat bed was quickly messed up by Claire rolling back and forth.
She yawned and said, “I’m tired. I’m not leaving.”
“I’m going to close the door.”
With that said, Philip turned around and was about to close the door.
Seeing that, Claire stopped fooling around. She sat up from the bed and said in horror, “I’m leaving now!”
Philip smothered a laugh at the girl’s defeated look.
He stood at the door in Claire’s way and said, “Is this a place where you can come and go whenever you want?”
No matter how Claire pushed or pulled Philip, favonovel.com did not budge.
Claire was a little scared and begged for mercy, “I was wrong. Please let me go.”
Seeing favonovel.com teary eyes, Philip stepped aside and said, “Goodbye.”
The moment Claire ran out, Philip closed the door instantly. Then, Claire asked Timo for the room next to Philip’s room.
After a while, Timo knocked on their doors, told them that dinner was ready, and invited them to the living room.
This medical hall treated its guests quite well, and all the dishes were made with a hint of special medicine. Although the taste might be a bit strange, the effects of the herbs were good.
“This is pork chop in black plum sauce. Eating this can make your skin even more beautiful.”
