Chapter 762: Chapter 762

After Archer came out of the lab, he found about a dozen messages on his phone.

They were mostly pictures, in which showed some of Winnie’s autographed photos as well as some exclusive merch from her studio.

Archer was so confused, wondering what had happened.

He scrolled up and saw Stella’s message.

Stella: Elaine said you are Winnie’s fan. I’ve mailed these to you.

Then he saw a text that described Sherry’s symptoms.

Archer wanted to call Stella, but he gave up and started typing.

Archer: Has your friend had a miscarriage before?

Stella didn’t reply until quite a long while later.

“Yes.”

Archer: Okay, I see. I’ve been quite busy recently. I’ll mail her herbal soup together with yours in a few days.

Stella: Thanks a lot.

Stella: There’s one more thing...

Archer: Yes?

Stella: My friend’s mother is ill, too...

Archer realized that was why Stella had mailed him those Winnie’s autographed photos.

However, he wasn’t like Elaine. Those things were useless for him.

Stella: You can tell me how much you charge usually. I’ll transfer the money to you. I felt so embarrassed to keep bothering you.

Archer: Please don’t mention it.

Archer: I always have meals in Ms. James’s house. She didn't charge me anything.

Archer: Just send me the symptoms of your friend’s mother.

Although Archer refused, Stella still bought a lot of specialty from City N and mailed it to him.

On the other side, when Archer got downstairs, he asked Dolores, “Ms. James, I’m going back to the James' Mansion. Would you like to go with me?”

Holding the baby, Dolores shook her head, “No, thanks.”

Archer knew she was taking care of the baby, so he didn’t insist and drove away.

Meanwhile, in the ancestral hall of the James.

Hilbert stood in front and bowed at Bancroft’s portrait. Then he turned around to Elaine and said, “Elaine, come over.”

Elaine went there obediently.

Hilbert said while pressing on the walking stick. “Elaine, Grandfather Bancroft loved you the most before. He also decided on the engagement of Darnell and you. Now your engagement has been dissolved, he must be disappointed. You should bow at him and apologize.”

Elaine bowed at Bancroft’s memorial tablet.

Inwardly, she prayed that Bancroft could bless her for finding her beloved man who could actually make her happy.

Right then, Hilbert looked out of the ancestral hall and said, “Darnell, here you came.”

Darnell answered with a "hm".

Hilbert said, “Since you’re here, make a prayer as well. So many things have happened to our James family recently. The ancestral hall was almost ruined. All our late ancestors should have been bothered.”

Caesar set fire to burn down the ancestral hall, but the situation was within control immediately, so it didn’t cause much harm to the building.

The James family also had renovated the burned part.

Darnell walked closer, bowed slightly, and started to pray.

Elaine was standing next to her father, observing Darnell from the side.

She had always feared Darnell long since. Earlier, she finally got used to him a bit when getting along with him. However, Caesar’s words made her more afraid of Darnell.

However, she didn’t fear that Darnell would do anything to her, but she was worried about Hilbert and her father.

It was a weird feeling.

Finished with the thing, Darnell turned around. Hilbert said, “I know you were unwilling to engage with Elaine. Now the engagement has been dissolved. You won’t be bothered.”

Upon hearing it, Darnell looked at Elaine, and the latter lowered her head and grabbed Franklin’s arm.

Darnell said, “Elaine is just a little girl. This engagement was unfair to her.”

What he said implied that he had took all the blame on behalf of Bancroft and himself, which made Hilbert quite satisfied.

Hilbert’s solemn face softened. He said politely, “It's just that Elaine isn’t so lucky. Your grandfather shall be disappointed.”

Darnell looked at him. Instead of beating around the bush, he said directly, “Please don’t worry. No matter what will be changed in the James family, you’ll always be respected.”

After that, Darnell nodded at Hilbert and turned away.

Hilbert frowned and heaved a sigh, looking worried.

Elaine stepped forward to help him up. “Great-grandpa, what did he mean by that?”

Hilbert answered, “He meant no matter what he would do to manage the James family, as long as I’m alive, he won’t do anything to our family.”

Elaine asked, “Isn’t it good? Great-grandpa, why..”

Franklin chimed in, “But if your great-grandfather passes away, his promise won’t work anymore.”

Elaine said affirmatively, “Great-grandpa, you’ll live to a hundred years old. Why are you so worried?”

Hilbert smiled. Patting on the back of her hand, he said, “Elaine, I’m ninety-eight now. Do you mean I only have two years left?”

Elaine realized that she had said something wrong. In a haste, she stuttered, “No no... Forget what I said. Great-grandpa will live to two hundred years old!”

Franklin stood aside to look at Elaine, smiling and shaking his head.

He said, “Let’s go.”

...

As soon as Darnell had walked out of the ancestral hall, Archer approached him. “I saw Grandpa Hilbert in there. Did you talk about your wedding with Elaine?”

Darnell cast him a glance. The latter looked solemn immediately. “All right. I won’t ask again.”

Darnell asked, “How’s the treatment going?”

“There’s no big effect on this stage. I can tell you the patient is much better than earlier.” After a pause, Archer added, “However...”

“What?”

Archer said, “I talked to Stella. The umbilical cord blood is a method. I gave her some medicine to nurse her health.”

Darnell looked over at him. “I’m not Clarence. Why are you telling me this?”

Archer answered, “Because Stella asked me not to tell Clarence, but I'm keeping too much secrets for others. You know I don’t like taking any responsibility. Either you or Clarence must protect me.”

Darnell was speechless.

He said, “Get out of here.”
