NovelEnglishChapter 503 Dane's square-jawed face held a polite smile as he took a sip of his coffee, speaking calmly, “Johnny, you're too kind. I've been planning a trip back hmyself soon.” Johnny chuckled, then asked, “How’s Mr. Boyd been lately?” Mr. Boyd-the president and chairman of the Pharmacists’ Guild and the patriarch of the Boyd family, was one of the prominent clans in Riverdale.

definitely discussed Mr. Owen's condition with him before coming back,” Dane said with a tinge of regret.
Mirabella’s eyebrows raised at the mention of ancient remedies. Mr. Boyd? Johnny felt a pang of disappointment, but he knew that even if Mr. Boyd wasn’t in seclusion, it was unlikely they could persuade such a distinguished figure to intervene. After all, Mr. Boyd was known for his passion for ancient remedies, and his medical skills might not necessarily surpass those of Nikolai.

The man you mentioned earlier?” Nikolai was surprised at the sudden interest in Mr. Boyd, and after a moment's thought, he said, “I can’t quite remember.
