Life After Prison by Silencieux

Chapter 201

"You flatter me, Mister Gideon. Rest assured that I'll help you to the best of my abilities in the future. Just say the word!"

Severin chuckled, looked at Gideon again, and then frowned. "Do you have a herniated disc?"

Gideon was startled for a moment before answering, "How could you tell? I have a problemn at my waist, and I was told that it was a slight herniated disk when I went for a checkup a few days ago. I'm aware that this condition isn't easy to treat, and the only way to ensure it doesn't get worse is to take medication and undergo some conservative treatments. If it worsens, then I'll have no choice but to undergo surgery!"

Severin smiled. "It's not as serious as you make it out to be. Here are some herbs. Brew it into a wine and drink it. Two liters should be just about enough!" He then turned over his palm to reveal several somewhat-dry sprigs of an unknown herb and handed it to Gideon.

Gideon had a convoluted expression on his face as he took the herbs. In his stupefaction, he asked, "That easy?"

"That's easy," Severin said confidently. "These herbs are actually quite precious, and they're very

rare too!"

After saying that, Severin stood up and said to the two men, "If that's all, please allow me to excuse myself!"

Henry, however, immediately said, "Mister Severin, why don't you sit around for a bit and have dinner before leaving?"

Severin waved his hand. "Thanks for your kindness, Mister Henry, but I'll have dinner at home!"

"Wait!" Charmaine yelled when she saw that Severin was about to leave. She then quickly ran back upstairs as Severin frowned slightly and waited for her downstairs.

After a while, Charmaine came down with two invitation letters, which she handed to Severin and said, "Since we've promised to give you two quotas, please take these invitation letters. You'll only be allowed to enter the event location if you have them. You can give one to the Shanahans and keep the other to yourself!"

"Thank you very much, Miss Charmaine!" Severin expressed his gratitude and smiled at her.

After receiving two invitation letters, he cupped his hands in a gesture of thanks and finally turned around to leave. Charmaine looked at Severin's stoic figure and seemed to be somewhat mesmerized by him. She thought to herself that Diane had been incredibly lucky to meet such an

amazing man.

Meanwhile, Henry was stunned to see his granddaughter's fixated gaze on Severin as he left. He could not help but step forward and said with a chuckle, "Have you fallen for him? You seem to be staring at him quite intently!"

Charmaine snapped out of her daze and blushed at once. "Of course not, Grandpa! Don't say that sort of thing! How can I fall for him when he has a wife? And besides, I've only met him a couple of

times!"

When Henry saw Charmaine's reddened cheeks, he teased her, "You can always be his second wife! Just look at Edward. Hasn't he always been pining to marry Diane as a second wife?

Gideon's expression sank at once as he stood at one side. "Not a chance Charmaine is the only daughter of our family, and she'll inherit our family's property in the future. Severin might be a very capable person, but that doesn't mean he's eligible to marry my precious daughter! I think you're just exaggerating his ability!"
