Chapter 2056
The First Heir
âYoung Master Philip, the 3,000 years mentioned in the ancient texts may not be very credible and
perhaps just exaggerated.â
Seeing Philipâs look of dejection, Dr. Gates coughed lightly and said, âHowever, donât be discouraged.
Although this prescription is hard to come by, Iâll try my best to read the ancient books again to find out
if thereâs a remedy to alleviate the young madamâs illness.â
Philip nodded. He felt very empty, disappointed, and upset.
âDr. Gates, Iâll be counting on you, then,â Philip said respectfully with a bow.
Dr. Gates quickly helped Philip up and said, âYoung Master Philip, you donât have to do this. Iâm just
one of the Clarke familyâs doctors and I should do my best. You donât have to bow to me.â
Philip did not say anything but looked at Dr. Gates very seriously and said, âDr. Gates, donât tell the
young madam about this matter for now.â
Dr. Gates naturally understood and answered with a nod, âI understand, please rest assured. Iâll go
back and prescribe a few supplements to the young madam to replenish her blood and boost her
vitality. Even though it canât help much, it can lessen her suffering for the next three years.â
Philipâs eyes were red as he nodded and instructed the servant to send Dr. Gates back. Looking at the
doctorâs departure, Philip stood in the yard and looked up at the vast starry sky.
There were countless stars in the sky, and shooting stars could be seen from time to time.
âPhil, what are you thinking about?â At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind Philip.
Then, Philip felt an extra jacket over his shoulders. He turned around and saw Wynn looking at him
with a gentle smile on her face. He squeezed out a smile, gently took Wynn into his arms, and said,
âWynnie, itâs been a long time since we looked at the stars together.â
Wynn leaned in Philipâs arms, raised her delicate little face, and looked at the stars in the sky. A happy
smile appeared at the corners of her mouth as she said, âPhil, do you still remember the time when we
used to count the stars together at the universityâs loverâs slope?â
Philip nodded with a smile and said, âOf course I do. At that time, you were wearing a white dress and
was worried about the bugs in the grass, so you refused to sit. I had to take off my jacket and spread it
on the ground for you.â
âAfter that, I found a ring in the jacket.â
Wynn looked up at Philip and suddenly said with a laugh, âYou said that you had just started attending
university and only knew this one trick to deceive young women. I was really foolish at that time to
believe your nonsense. I was moved by you and agreed to be with you.â
Philip hugged Wynn tightly and said, âWynnie, do you regret being with me?â
Wynn shook her head seriously and said, âI donât regret it. Since I chose you, I wonât regret it. Even if
youâre not the young master of the Clarke family and donât have such a big family business, even if
youâre just the ordinary Philip Clarke you used to be, I wonât regret it.â
Philip lowered his head and looked at Wynn in his arms. He gently leaned over, kissed her smooth
forehead, and said, âI love you.â .
âI love you too.â Wynn stood on tiptoes and kissed Philip on the lips.
Then, the two just leaned against each other, stood in the yard, and looked at the starry sky. The
surrounding servants stood far away at this moment, not daring to disturb them at all.

In the bedroom, Philip stood guard by Wynnâs bedside. He looked at the sleeping Wynn with her
delicate brows and beautiful features.
âWynnie, donât worry. Even if I use up all of the Clarke familyâs fortune, Iâll find the Multidew Herb for
you! Even if I make an enemy out of the whole world, Iâll cure your disease!â
At this moment, Philip had made a decision.
