As the old man had implied, Joshua had indeed met up with the Fendersons before a few years ago. In truth, it was the Fendersons who had wanted to hire Joshua as their family’s personal doctor back then. Though they had even offered an extremely high salary, in the end, Joshua still refused their offer.
“It’s a pleasure indeed,” replied Joshua with a faint smile on his face.
It was at that moment when Bryson noticed a new face. Or at least half a new face.
A young man was standing obediently next to Joshua as favonovel.com carried a medical kit in hand. The odd thing about him, however, was the fact that the youth was wearing half a mask. It covered his upper facial features, and it wasn’t unlike a masquerade mask.
“Could I know who this might be?” asked Bryson with a smile.
“A-ah…! Ah!” replied the masked youth as favonovel.com pointed at his own mouth before waving his hands slightly. He then pointed at Joshua before placing his palm near his heart.
Seeing that, Mindy chuckled before saying, “Sanderson is Master Jenkinson’s apprentice, grandpa! He’s dumb so favonovel.com can’t talk!”
Since both Mindy and Jasmine had returned to the Fenderson family mansion with Joshua, Mindy had had the opportunity to get to know Sanderson a bit more. That definitely explained favonovel.com enthusiastic introduction of the youth.
“How could you say that, Mindy?” replied Jasmine as favonovel.com looked at the straightforward girl with a sigh.
“It’s fine! After all, I’m already quite close to him! We got acquainted atop Yorknorth Mountain the day before. Surprisingly, though that was the first time we had met each other, I instantly found favonovel.com to be quite familiar! Regardless, though favonovel.com can’t really talk, I feel that we got to understand each other a lot throughout our time together, aren’t I right, Sanderson?” said Mindy with a smile. The way favonovel.com said it, it was almost as though favonovel.com was a close friend of his.
“Ah! Ah!” replied Sanderson as favonovel.com hurriedly nodded.
“Haha! I apologize for the awkwardness, Master Jenkinson… Though Mindy’s quite the straightforward and reckless girl, do understand that she’s been a loving and kind person favonovel.com entire life!” said Bryson.
“I can certainly see that… Speaking of which, my apprentice here suffered from face burns when favonovel.com was very young… It’s the reason why he’s wearing this mask. However, I hope you understand that he’s quite a diligent worker. I bring favonovel.com everywhere I go now, and in return, favonovel.com gets to learn more and more medical skills and knowledge from me.”
“Well then! With you being such a great teacher, I’m sure your student will be equally as great!” said Bryson as favonovel.com held on to Master Jenkinson’s hand while leading favonovel.com further into the Fenderson family mansion.
“Hah! Did you hear that, Jasmine? Grandpa said I was kind!” said Mindy as favonovel.com playfully pouted.
“Sure, let’s go with that…” replied Jasmine as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head slightly with an annoyed smile on favonovel.com face.
Seeing this, Sanderson himself rolled his eyes at Mindy though favonovel.com made sure favonovel.com couldn’t see it.
‘Kindness my foot! You’ve just never met a person who talks through sign language! You’ve only been nice to me since you want to learn sign language as well!’ Sanderson thought to himself.
If it wasn’t already evident enough, Sanderson was none other than Gerald.
While his current persona certainly wasn’t ideal, it was in fact, the most convenient way for favonovel.com to successfully infiltrate the Fenderson family mansion.
“Allow me to help you carry that medical kit, Sanderson,” said Jasmine as favonovel.com nodded toward him.
At that, Gerald immediately began gesturing with his hands again before saying, “Ah! Ah!”
Since Jasmine was so much gentler and considerate compared to Mindy, Gerald couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her. His attention, however, soon returned to Lord Fenderson.
Gerald had already fully diagnosed his illness earlier from just a glance.
As long as Lord Fenderson took his prescribed medicine and received acupuncture treatment for a few days, it was almost certain that favonovel.com would make a full recovery. It honestly wasn’t that difficult a task for Gerald.
The situation was ideal as well, since—as Gerald had previously discussed with Joshua—he had indeed planned to stay with the Fendersons for at least a few days.
During that period, Gerald planned to observe the Fendersons while also investigating for any activity from the Schuylers. Or at least that’s what favonovel.com had initially planned.
As time went on, Mindy continued to look for Gerald any moment favonovel.com could, and it was honestly starting to annoy favonovel.com at this point. It was almost as though favonovel.com had gone mad!
Thinking that favonovel.com was finally alone when night came, Gerald stood in the backyard as favonovel.com thought about the ‘great scheme’ that the Schuylers were plotting.
As for the Moldells, how many people were they actually sending over to help the Schuylers this time around?
Just as the gears in his head were about to grind, favonovel.com heard a voice saying, “What are you doing, Sanderson?”
Gerald was left speechless as favonovel.com turned to look at Mindy. The girl had favonovel.com hands behind favonovel.com back as favonovel.com skipped all the way toward him.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com gestured his hands while pointing at the garden and the surrounding area.
“Oh, I see! So you wanted to enjoy the scenery! Haha! Since you probably only focus on studying medicine on Yorknorth Mountain, I’m sure you’ve never seen this grand a garden, have you?”
“Ah!” said Gerald with a nod.
“Speaking of which, since you’re currently free, could you keep me company for a bit?” said Mindy as favonovel.com held on to his right hand.
Gerald was so stunned by that that favonovel.com didn’t even know how to reply.
