Chapter 265 The Silver Crystal Potion's Aftereffects
Snowflakes fell from the sky. A large group of people came out of the mourning hall one after another. Some stayed for a while before leaving, while others stayed behind.
Sir Graham Lockwood, Damon, and the men from the boxing families were arguing.
Old Simon had an arrogant look on his face. He said disdainfully, "Freeman, Damon, You guys are surely capable. You betrayed boxing and earned a lot of money. I wonder if the ancestors of the Lockwood family will kick open the coffin and crawl out to smack you two unfilial descendants if they find out."
Sir Graham Lockwood was furious. "Who said that we betrayed boxing? The Lockwood family is making money and practicing boxing simultaneously!"
"That's right!" Damon said coldly. He would never allow anyone to look down on them.
"Is that so?" Old Simon glanced at them and said, "I heard none of you from the main branch can practice boxing. Only a few from the second branch can do it."
When Sir Graham Lockwood and Damon heard this, they retorted loudly, "Nonsense!"
With that, the two men waved at Ricky, Betty, and Kieran at the same time.
"Kids, come here!"
The three little fellows obediently went over.
Old Simon looked at the three children and was stunned for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but laugh.
Sir Graham Lockwood said, "Old Simon, let me tell you. These three children in my family are all little geniuses. One of them is equivalent to ten of you. Three of them can beat your entire family."
Old Simon said mockingly, "It's been many years since we last met. Old fellow, you've learned to brag!"
"I'm not bragging with you!" Sir Graham Lockwood couldn't take it anymore.
Seeing that the two men were about to fight, Old Willsmith stepped out to become the peacemaker. He repeatedly advised, "Come on, don't argue. We haven't seen each other for many years. Let's talk things out." "Hmph, who are you looking down on? You should help your child wear a cotton-padded jacket first."
Sir Graham Lockwood rudely pointed at Yandel's clothes. Not only were they patched up, but they were only a single layer.
It was cold in February and March at Dawton City.
Betty raised her head and took a deep look at Yandel. Then, she shook her head and sighed. "Sigh, poor kids are so pitiful!”
Old Simon's mouth twitched. He couldn't stop himself from trembling.
He felt that the little girl had mocked him.
Yandel was in a daze. He looked at Betty, but his eyes were getting brighter. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. This little child was adorable. He liked her too much.
Then, he said to Old Simon, "Grandpa, I want to marry a wife and have children!"
Old Simon went speechless.
Was this idiot here to embarrass him?
Didn't he notice that the two guys from the Lockwood family standing opposite were about to burst out laughing?
Isabella and Draxton couldn't help but laugh.
As for Mr. Menter and Mrs. Menter, they looked at Betty with dazed gazes.
They could not help but feel a sharp pain in their hearts.
If the little girl they sent away back then was four or five years old, would she be as cute as Betty?
With that thought in mind, Mrs. Menter squatted down. An exceptionally benevolent expression appeared on her face. She waved at Betty and said, "Little girl, what's your name?" Betty tilted her head and looked at them. Then, she let out a soft exclamation in confusion.
She ran over and stood in front of Mrs. Menter. She tilted her head and said, "My name is Betty. Old lady, you look very much like my grandma. Are you her sister?"
Betty's ink-blue eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Isabella was stunned. She did not expect Betty to say that.
Of course, she knew about the Menter family's arrival. She also knew that these two were Ziana's parents.
However, Master Menter's relationship with her parents was strained. Isabella had yet to think of how to treat
them.
Mrs. Menter's eyes widened. She looked at Betty excitedly and said, "Betty, what's the name of the grandma you mentioned?"
Betty's eyes were round, but she kept her mouth shut.
She would not get tricked. She was a smart little girl!
"Betty!" Isabella called out before walking over.
Betty immediately pounced into her arms. Isabella looked at Mrs. Menter and said, "Mrs. Menter, Mr. Menter, Ziana Menter is my teacher. Betty probably thinks that you two look alike, so she said this. Please don't take
it to heart."
Instantly, the Menter family's old couple looked at her excitedly. Mrs. Menter said, "Are you her student?"
Mr. Menter also looked steadily at Isabella.
Isabella nodded and said, "I'm her student. But I'm sorry, I can't say anything."
After saying that, she nodded apologetically at the two elders and carried Betty to Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood.
The couple from the Menter family looked disappointed.
Mrs. Menter's eyes were moist.
Mr. Menter tugged at her and said, "This girl is Ziana's student. She must be on Ziana's side. Didn't Elvis say that Ziana is coming? Let's wait." Mrs. Menter nodded and glanced in the direction of Isabella and Betty. Then, she quietly lowered her eyes and did not say anything else
This time, the others came to Dawton City for the crystal potion, but they came to find the child they had lost.
"Looks like we're not outsiders."
Old Willsmith's gaze moved back and forth between Isabella and the Menter family
Sir Graham Lockwood said, "This is my granddaughter-in-law. You know the Miraculous Doctor, right? You know the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, right? My granddaughter-in-law is not only the Miraculous Doctor. She's also the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors!"
Sir Graham Lockwood introduced Isabella proudly with his nose in the air.
Isabella did not know how to react.
This childish old man.
stacy."
'I've heard about it. I know the Lockwood family's patriarch's wife is the Miraculous Doctor. So it's this lady."
Old Willsmith and the others from the boxing families looked at Isabella.
Draxton walked over and silently held Isabella's hand.
Isabella tilted her head and looked at him. She squeezed his hand and whispered, "Draxton, why is your hand
so cold?"
Previously, she had not realized his hand was so cold. It was so cold that there was no warmth at all. It was
as cold as ice.
Isabella frowned.
Draxton looked at her. She realized his dark blue eyes had become fainter. It was turning silver.
Immediately after, Isabella saw that his thick eyelashes were covered in silver frost.
Then, the silver frost could be seen on his eyebrows and hair.
"Draxton!"
Isabella could not help but cry out in surprise. She subconsciously checked his pulse but realized he did not
even have one.
Isabella's face instantly turned pale.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Her scream attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, Draxton's tall body fell towards her.
"Draxton!" Isabella supported him, her voice trembling.
"Daddy!" Betty also reached out to shake Draxton's hand, but his hand froze and retracted.
However, she still bravely grabbed her father's hand and did not let go.
Sir Graham Lockwood and the others surrounded him. They were also shocked and in disbelief.
"Don't tell me... Is this the true side effect of the Silver Crystal Potion?" Sir Graham Lockwood muttered. Isabella said, "I was careless. That's a Silver Crystal Potion. How can I believe that he'll be fine!"
