Chapter 29 My Mom Is Really Great! South replied, “I’m six and a half years old now, Great-grandpa. I’m attending school at a noble kindergarten.” Old Man Nolan stroked his goatee beard and laughed happily. “Well, he’s very eloquent and quick-witted. Doctor Brooklyn, your son is amazing!” Camila chuckled. “Yes, but he’s just too mischievous.” Old Man Nolan then looked at South carefully before muttering to himself, “It’s good to be mischievous. All mischievous kids are smart.” South looked at the little gray beard on Old Man Nolan’s chin and was eager to touch it. “Great-grandpa, may I touch your beard?” Old Man Nolan stretched his chin forward and answered happily, “Go ahead!” Upon hearing South’s request, Camila frowned. “Don’t be rude, South.” However, Old Man Nolan was generous and replied, “It’s fine. The child is curious. Go ahead and touch it!” South’s eyes were filled with excitement. His small hand gently touched Old Man Nolan’s beard before he smiled happily. “Great-grandpa, your beard isn’t prickly at all.” While he said this, South even touched his own chin and continued, “Why can’t I grow one?” After saying those words, the room was filled with laughter, and Old Man Nolan had the happiest smile on him. “Your beard will be long once you’ve reached my age.” “Then we’ll see who will have the longest beard by then?” Old Man Nolan laughed out loud. “Alright. I’ll work hard to live longer so that we can compare when the time comes.” South patted his chest and assured him. “Don’t worry. Mommy’s here. She’ll cure your disease!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Old Man Nolan laughed out loud while his face was glowing and his cheeks were ruddy. Meanwhile, Camila’s face turned dark. She could not understand how South was so confident. Even Camila dared not to speak a word about this. A soft layer of light shone on Silas’s face too. He was pleased that this little guy was able to make his grandfather so happy. Landon, too, could not hold in his laughter. “You’re always advertising about your mom no matter when and where you are.” South gave him a look and explained, “That’s because my mom is really great.” examine you.”
Old Man Nolan agreed to it. Later, Camila took out a small pulse pillow and checked his pulse. She also inquired about his recent diet and sleeping patterns. After ten minutes, Camila replied, “Your recovery is going well. Try not to be angry and overly excited, Grandpa. No matter what you’re facing, try not to get anxious and try to stay positive. Also, try to have a balanced diet. Don’t overeat, but try having small, frequent meals instead.” “Alright.” Old Man Nolan nodded in agreement. “I didn’t expect that you’d be so good at this at such a young age.” Camila smiled and answered, “I’m just good at traditional Chinese medicine and it just so happens that I was able to cure your disease.” Old Man Nolan chuckled. “You don’t have to be so humble. I know my illness very well. It’s thanks to your capabilities that I was saved from the gates of death. Rocky, have you properly thanked Doctor Brooklyn?” Upon hearing this, Camila wanted to laugh. Is Silas’s nickname ‘Rocky’? On the other hand, Silas’s face turned dark and whispered, “Grandpa, there are still outsiders here!” Old Man Nolan froze for a while as he stroked his goatee beard awkwardly. “You little brat. I’m already used to calling you by this name. I’m asking you if you had thanked her? Can’t you listen to the main point of my sentence?” Silas facepalmed at his words and looked toward the other three who were trying hard to suppress their laughter. “Grandpa, can you ask them if they heard anything else besides the nickname?” Old Man Nolan looked toward them and asked, “Did you all hear anything else?” With a serious face, Landon answered, “I heard that you want Silas to thank Camila.” Camila also added, “That’s right. You’re most welcome, Grandpa. Mr. Nolan has already paid me!” South grinned and continued, “Great-grandpa, mommy says that it’s her responsibility to treat and save people.” “See; everyone heard something else!” Old Man Nolan exclaimed. Meanwhile, Silas was so angry that he became speechless. Were they all lying through their teeth?
