Chapter 2057
The First Heir
At this moment, a tiny figure was rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was wearing a cute pair of pink
pajamas and standing at the bedroom door.
âDaddyâ¦â
Mila called out and walked in wearing big pink slippers.
Philip smiled, bent over, and picked Mila up. He hopped her nose and asked, âWhy are you awake?â
Mila hid in Philipâs arms in fear and said, âI had a nightmare. I dreamed that Mom left me and went far
away.â
While saying that, Mila looked at the sleeping Wynn on the bed and wanted to call out to her.
Philip immediately put a finger to his mouth in a shushing gesture and said, âMom is asleep. Let me
play with you for a while.â
Mila nodded, looking very cute with her hair slightly disheveled.
The father and daughter sat in the living room to play at this moment. While playing, Philip noticed a
small object hanging from Milaâs neck. It was a small green bottle carved with patterns and there was a
red string on both ends. The bottle was about the size of a little finger.
Philip frowned. He did not buy this for his daughter.
âWas it given by Wynn?â
âMila, who gave you the thing on your neck?â Philip put Mila on his knee and looked at the small object
on her neck very carefully.
It seemed to be a container with very complicated lines and patterns on it.
Mila held the object in her chubby little hands and said happily, âDad, this is from Aunt.â
Aunt? Hannah Clarke?
With a frown, Philip suddenly thought of the letter that Hannah handed to him before he left the hospital
in Uppercreek last time. The letter mentioned that Hannah had left something for Mila.
Was it the small object in front of him?
Philip smiled and said, âMila, can you show it to me?â
âOkay,â Mila agreed obediently. She took off the small object from her neck and put it in Philipâs hand.
Philip took the small green bottle and looked at it carefully several times under the light. Apart from
some complicated patterns on it, nothing seemed peculiar.
He tried to twist it and break it apart, only to find that the material of this thing was very hard. It was
similar to jade but not quite like it, or perhaps something metal. After looking at it for a while, Philip still
could not figure out what it was. He could only hand it back to Mila glumly. He stroked her head and
said, âAunt Hannah gave it to you, so keep it well and donât lose it.â
Mila nodded, revealing two dimples. She said, âOkay, Dad, I know.â
After spending a little more time with Mila, Philip sent her back to her room and put her to sleep. Before
he left the room, Philipâs eyes fell on the object on Milaâs neck again.
What exactly did Hannah mean by this?
***
Early the next morning. Outside Philipâs residence, a group of servants and a butler had arrived.
The butler said to the butler of the residence, âButler Little, Iâm here on Third Old Masterâs order to pick
up the young master and young madam to visit the grand elder.â
Butler Little nodded and said, âPlease wait for a moment. Iâll go in and inform them.â
Soon, Butler Little came to the hall and looked at Philip who was having breakfast at the dining table.
He said, âYoung Master Philip, someone from Third Old Masterâs side has come to pick you and Young
Madam to the grand elderâs place.â
Philip was startled. He almost forgot about it and responded, âOkay, Iâll go over later. Please tell them to
wait for a while.â
At the dining table, Wynn, who was eating, trembled slightly. She asked, âPhil, what grand elder? Who
are you taking me to see?â
Philip smiled and said, âHeâs just an elder of the family. You can bring Mila to have a change of clothes
first. Iâll take you there later.â
âWhich elder?â Wynn asked.
Philip replied, âMy great great grandfather.â
âHuh?â
