Serenity and Zachary York



"I'm fine."

The man who coughed said softly, "I think I'm exhausted from all the traveling."

"Hey, boy. Open the gates and let us in now. Can't you see our eldest friend is about to collapse? Why do you care who we are? Do the Stones not know how to treat their guests properly?"

The man who said he could demolish the door was loud. He was impatient too.

He glared at Gabe and urged him to open the gates. He would have taken the gates down without his companions keeping him in check.

"Dan," one of them scolded him.

Dan immediately went silent.

"Boy, this man here is the person your missus has been looking for. Don't worry. We aren't bad people.

"Please open the door and let us have a glass of water. He has a weak body."

The youngest among the five elderly men was the one who checked the sick man's pulse. He was Dr. Carden's teacher, the legendary doctor.

The legendary doctor had already brought Laurence back to FC Manor and took care of baby Oliver there.

Later, he found out that his eldest buddy, Patrick, insisted on flying to Wiltspoon to meet Audrey.

Patrick was over ny years old. Even if the legendary doctor conducted health checks on him often, his condition still deteriorated year after year.

The legendary doctor had informed Patrick that he had limited time left. He could continue living for a few months to a year.

Knowing that his time was almost up, Patrick insisted on meeting the descendant of the previous Fisher matriarch, who was found recently. His friends were unable to dissuade him.

Patrick also did not allow them to get Audrey to go over to them.

He was worried about exposing his old friends' locations and bringing them trouble.

The elderly men were the rumored great masters who had been living in seclusion for two to three decades.

Most people had only been able to obtain information about them recently because of Dr. Carden and Suzy Lafayette, who were disciples of these great masters.

Dan, who threatened to tear down the gates, was the legendary thief and Suzy's mentor.

The eldest among them, Patrick, was the person Belinda Fisher had been searching for decades. He was Tiara's assistant.

Back when Audrey's parents had been killed, Patrick was also ambushed by Belinda's men. Although he was skilled in martial arts, he still sustained severe injuries as he was alone.

He had thought of fighting till the bitter end and avenging Tiara with his life.

However, he thought of Tiara's daughters and how Belinda's evil scheme would never be exposed if he died.

At that time, Belinda was utterly ruthless. Patrick was unable to avenge Tiara within a short period.

Therefore, he had no choice but to escape Jensburg with his injured body.

Belinda had even sent assassins to hunt him down all the way.

She only lost track of him after the legendary doctor and his friends rescued him.

Belinda hid too many secrets. Caroline and the generation would not know anything about what happened that year.noveldrama

Belinda would never let them find out either. Those who knew what happened back then were all dead. Even the older members of the Fisher family only heard rumors or speculated.

However, Patrick had been unable to return to Jensburg since his escape.

Silver, who was in charge of gathering intelligence, would inform him of the Fisher family's news from time to time.

Patrick knew Belinda, who had killed Tiara, had become the next matriarch. Alivia had also passed away, while Tiara's two daughters were missing. No one knew if they were dead or alive.

After Belinda became the matriarch, she secretly eliminated many insiders.
