The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 498 Inconvenience with You Avery swatted Daniel lightly with the hanger once more. "Scoundrel, if you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death!" "Mom, I wasn't talking nonsense. I just wanted to see how well Grandpa's recovered. I need an accurate judgment to set up a treatment plan for his recuperation," Daniel defended himself.

Professor John, again, saw an opportunity to assert himself. "Kind, lie back down. I'll conduct a thorough full-body examination. While my emergency medication saved your life, we must proceed carefully with an in-depth check to ensure nothing's amiss." Kind responded with a cold laugh and a stern rebuke. "Professor John, your emergency drug nearly hadpushing up daisies! If Daniel hadn't stepped in on twith seven needles, pullingback from the brink, I would be reporting to Lucifer by now." "Kind, it really was my emergency drug that saved you, not this country whelp!" "Get out! And don't makesay it again!" Despite Kind nearing his eightieth birthday, his mind was sharp, and he held a clear recollection of the recent events. He knew it was Daniel who had saved him, not Professor John.

The disappointed professor left, and Down quickly slipped away, too, not wanting to face Kind's temper.

Daniel, meanwhile, had written a treatment plan. "Mom, take this, get the medicine listed for Grandpa. Just three days for one course, and I guarantee Grandpa will feel like he's fifty again." "Don't just call'mom' at will! I'm not your mother! And my dad isn't your grandpa, you shameless thing!" Despite her harsh words, Avery took the treatment plan from Daniel.

Looking at Daniel, Kind asked, "What did you calljust now, boy?" "Grandpa, of course! Since you're Jessica's grandfather and I'm her husband, I logically should call you Grandpa." "You little scoundrel, I haven't committed to marrying Jessica off to you yet. It's too soon to be callingGrandpa." "Grandpa, please get it right. Jessica wants to marry me; it has nothing to do with you. As long as Jessica agrees, we don't need your permission." "Jessica is my granddaughter. Without my blessing, she can't marry you. To win my granddaughter, it's not going to be easy." Kind's words provided Daniel with a sliver of opportunity. It seemed there might be a chance to secure his relationship with Jessica. With potential leverage, Daniel asked eagerly, "Grandpa, what do I need to do to marry Jessica?" "At my birthday celebration, I will organize a contest for Jessica's hand. Normally, a rascal like you wouldn't stand a chance, but I'll grant you an opportunity to compete against the scions of other prominent families." "So you want us to compete in martial arts?" "Martial arts? Don't be narrow-minded, boy. What will be required goes far beyond mere combat skills. I will personally vet the candidates for Jessica, assessing them in every aspect." With that, Daniel's thoughts fluttered to the future, the hurdles he would have to overcome, and the chances he had of truly becoming part of Jessica's world.
