The Lady replied, “People with other surnames don’t know. These things have only been known in the Treadway family.”
Charlie nodded slightly and asked, “Does the descendant of the Treadway family hope to wait here for the appearance of Lord
Morvel?”
“The chance of immortality that Lord Morvel promised to the ancestor, if it’s real and the ancestor can appear, it will undoubtedly
bring a new life,” The Lady said with a hint of hope.
However, she then added with a hint of sadness, “But my three sons passed away one after another, and it wasn’t until I was 45
that I had my youngest son. Now that I have finally raised him to adulthood, I only care about him.”
Charlie said, “If Lord Morvel is still alive and willing to keep his promise, you could also pass on the opportunity of longevity to
your son.”
The Lady smiled wryly and pointed to her temple, speaking with a hint of pain, “My son was born with some complications which
caused him to have some brain problems.”
She went on to say, “Although he may appear normal on the surface, he is slower and simpler than most people. He doesn’t
have much intelligence.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “I still dare not let him know about these things because I am afraid he will not be able to
keep secrets...”
“To be honest, the Treadway family has been waiting for so many years, just for the chance of a long life. Although the
opportunity is slim, I didn’t want to give up on it. But now, I don’t want to wait anymore. Even if I do wait, I can’t seek immortality
for myself. But my youngest son is not yet mature, and if I let him live forever, it may not be good for him...”
“I understand that a man is innocent but he is guilty. If he doesn’t have a long life, he may end up in a public nursing home in the
future. If he does get a long life, he may die within a few years.”
Charlie nodded in agreement and spoke sincerely, “To be honest, fourteen or fifteen hundred years have passed, and I believe
that Old Lord Morvel has passed away. Even if we wait, we are unlikely to receive this opportunity.”
The Lady also nodded her head and sighed, “I also have little hope, which is why I was tempted to go out and work to earn
money to live in the city.”
“I even sold a piece of jewelry passed down from my ancestors,” she added.
“After much trouble, I went to Mexico with him, but I never thought that our lives were almost ruined. Thankfully, we were lucky
enough to return alive, thanks to a benefactor.”
The Lady remembered something, and said, “By the way, benefactor, my son was on the brink of death when we were in Mexico.
But when we woke up on the bus, his condition had completely improved, thanks to your help, is that correct?”
Charlie nodded, “At that time, his condition was critical and there was no other way to save him. So I gave him a Life Saving Pill,
which has powerful healing properties, but it is not as effective as the Rejuvenation Pill.”
The Lady expressed her surprise and gratitude, “You would give me such a valuable medicine, I will always be grateful for this
kindness, I just don’t have much to offer in return for saving our lives.”
