Chapter 88 – The Old Master’s Scheme
Baird Lane also noticed and subconsciously took a step forward, holding Christine White back, “Grandpa, what brings you here?”
“I came to see if my grandson’s hands and feet are still sound!” The old man picked up his teacup and took a sip, coldly returning.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “What do you mean by that, Grandpa?”
Bang!
The old man heaved his teacup onto the table, “What do you mean? I’m asking you, why didn’t you tell me about your accident in Snow Mountain?”
Baird Lane’s pupils constricted, “You know?”
“Hmph, if I don’t ask, are you planning to hide it from me for the rest of your life?” The old man smiled coldly.
Christine White’s hands clenched together, her heart beating so hard that the fear inside her was drowning her.
The old man knows about the snowy mountains.
Will he hate her as his grandson-in-law then?
Could it be that this visit was to divorce her from Baird Lane?
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, Christine White’s legs went weak and she sat straight down on the floor.
The commotion caused both the old man and Baird Lane to look at her.
Baird Lane’s eyebrow jumped, “Christine White, what are you doing?”
This woman, she actually embarrassed herself so much in front of her grandfather.
“I …” Christine White’s pale lips quivered as she tried to say something but couldn’t.
She also knew that she was acting badly at the moment and wanted to get back on her feet as well.
But she just didn’t have the strength.
“Little Song!” The old man called Aunt Lucy over, “You help Christine up.”
“Okay.” Aunt Lucy bent down to help Christine White.
Christine White stood up and bowed towards the old man, “I’m sorry grandpa, it’s my fault for what happened in Snow Mountain …”
“Oh? Your fault?” The old man looked at her coolly.
Christine White didn’t resist the pressure and cried, “Well, I was the one who didn’t stand still and fell, and Baird fell with me and got hurt trying to save me, I’m sorry grandpa …”
“Humph, do you know that because of you, I almost lost this grandson again!” The old master angrily pestled his cane.
Christine White bowed her head in shame.
Baird Lane looked at her like this, his heart inexplicably tugged, “Well Grandpa, it’s all in the past, I’m not fine.”
“What? You’re heartbroken about her?” The old man narrowed his eyes.
Baird Lane’s eyes flashed, “No.”
“If you haven’t, then step aside!” Baird Lane ordered.
Baird Lane didn’t move, “Grandpa, who told you that something happened to me at Snowmass?”
This was something he had instructed Jomu not to tell the old man.
But the old man still knew.
He shall not think more.
“It doesn’t matter who told me, what matters is that you almost gave your life up there!” The old man said angrily.
He arranged for someone to go up the snowy mountain with him, just to secretly set up the young couple so that they could conceive a child earlier.
But he didn’t realize that the young couple actually lived separately, and since his plan didn’t work, he simply had someone keep an eye on them.
I didn’t expect them to have an accident on a snowy mountain!
“Grandpa, I told you, I’m fine.” Baird Lane held his forehead.
“Hmph, this time it’s your luck that you only hurt your back, in case you have bad luck again, what you lost is your life, do you know that before your brother was found, I only have a grandson like you!” The old man reddened his eyes.
Baird Lane dropped his eyes and didn’t say anything more.
The old man ignored him and turned to Christine White, “Come here.”
Christine White took baby steps.
“Are you okay?” The old man asked with a cold old face.
Christine White was flattered and waved her hand, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
“Of course you’re fine, with Baird guarding you.” The old man glared at her.
Christine White hung her head mutely.
The old man looked at the young couple who were both dumbfounded by what he said, and sighed deeply, “Grandpa I didn’t mean to try to accuse you guys this time, but what you guys did wasn’t right, do you know how worried I was when I heard that something happened to you guys?”
“Yes young master young madam, the old master was almost scared into the hospital at that time.” Fu Bo, who had been standing behind the old master, couldn’t help but open his mouth as well.
Baird Lane’s heart tightened when he heard that, “Are you okay, Grandpa?”
“It’s fine, but I can’t guarantee it again.” The old man gave him a blank look.
Baird Lane drops his eyes and fades, “Sorry Grandpa …”
“Hey, children and grandchildren are all debts, but Christine did pretty well this time.” The old man looked at Christine White.
Christine White pointed to herself with a confused look on her face, “I didn’t do anything, did I?”
The old man suddenly smiled, a smile with a hint of relief, “You did well enough not to leave Baird alone in the snow.”
“Huh?” Christine White cocked her head, “How could I leave him alone, he’s my husband, of course I’m taking him with me.”
The old man’s smile intensified, “That’s why I said you did well, unlike some people, who are ungrateful!”
As he said this, the old man’s smile tightened for a moment, and there was intense hatred in his eyes.
Baird Lane frowned, “Grandpa, let bygones be bygones!”
“What? Afraid I’ll be ashamed to tell you?” The old man plucked at him angrily.
Baird Lane’s thin lips twitched slightly, “No, it’s just that I feel the past is in the past and there’s no need to bring it up again.”
“Hmph, you are thinking about it, but I can’t let it go, I almost lost my grandson, how can I not hate it, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, and I will bring it up often, so that you will know how poorly you see people!” The old man said with a sullen face.
Christine White listens to the clouds, but doesn’t ask questions.
She knew that the old man didn’t want her to know since he was being so vague.
“Alright, I came here today, and I don’t mean anything else, just to let you know that I’m very unhappy after your accident, of course I don’t have to hold on to it, but something like this, I don’t want there to be a next time, do you two hear me?” The old man’s stern gaze swept over the two men’s faces.
“Yes.” Baird Lane nodded.
Christine White followed suit, “I hear you Grandpa.”
“Well, go wash your hands and eat, I’ve asked Xiao Song to make a lot of your favorites.” The old master commanded, his face easing up a lot.
Baird Lane had to change his clothes and lifted his foot up the stairs.
Christine White then went to the living room bathroom to wash her hands.
As soon as the two left, the old man hurriedly greeted Aunt Lucy and said mysteriously, “Little Song, ah, in a moment, you put this in their meal.”
“Master, what is this?” Aunt Lucy looked at the small bottle in her hand and her heart thumped.
It’s not supposed to be some kind of poison, is it?
Seeing Aunt Lucy’s thoughts, the old man glared, “What are you thinking? It’s just medicine that can make them conceive a child sooner.”
“That … Isn’t that a booster?” Aunt Lucy covered her mouth in shock.
The old master raised his eyes faintly, “Put them down in a moment.”
“But …”
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s not very nice.” Aunt Lucy smiles in embarrassment.
The old man grunted, “What’s wrong with that, it’s not like it’s going to kill them, whoever kept them from getting a baby had to be the only thing I could come up with.”
“That’s true, but if Sir finds out, he’ll be furious.” Aunt Lucy looked worried.
The old man bristled in disbelief, “Then tell him I ordered it, all right, do it.”
“Good.” Aunt Lucy sighed and went back to the kitchen.
Christine White washed her hands and came out, and saw the old man watching the TV, which was showing a drama, and he was humming along while watching it.
“Grandpa, you’re in a good mood now, is something good?” Christine White asked curiously.
