Chapter 266 Visiting Gilbert
Old Willsmith looked at Draxton’s condition and hesitated before saying, “I think I’ve seen such
symptoms on the ship’s information.”
Sir Graham Lockwood kept silent before saying. “I think I’ve seen it before too.”
Isabella looked at them in shock and asked, “What information? What does the information say?”
Sir Graham Lockwood said, “Fifty years ago when the various factions discovered the ship, they found
at piece of information on it. According to the information, if one directly absorbed some kind of liquid,
they would slowly die. There were various strange deaths, but the ending was undoubtedly very
miserable. At most… They would not live for more than half a year at most.”
“The liquid described in the information should be the crystal potion.”
Isabella’s mind immediately exploded. She looked at Sir Graham Lockwood in disbelief and said,
“Grandpa, why didn’t you remind me after reading that document? Draxton’s body was normal a few
days ago. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
She was close to tears.
Sir Graham Lockwood lowered his head resentfully and said gloomily, “I saw you guys were fine two
days ago. I… I was a little out of my mind. I couldn’t remember…”
Isabella was speechless.
Why was he always out of his mind?
Isabella pursed her lips and said word by word, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let anything
happen to
Draxton!”
Isabella hugged the man in her arms tightly. Her eyes were filled with determination.
The last time she was so determined was when she gave birth to her kids.
This time, she wanted the man in her arms to wake up safely and be healthy for the rest of his life!
After Willow’s funeral, Isabella brought Draxton home.
He did not wake up, nor did he have a pulse. He looked no different from a dead person.
“Only half a year…”
Isabella muttered to himself. Then, she picked up her phone and called Fernando.

Fernando was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Isabella.
Isabella said bluntly, “Our experiment has to start as soon as possible. The sooner, the better.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Fernando was slightly surprised.
Isabella said, “Draxton is in trouble.”
Fernando paused. After a moment, he said, “I’ll rush over as soon as possible.”
The laboratory was built in Lucsia. They had agreed with it from the beginning.
Now, they had a more developed laboratory. It was Mike’s underground laboratory.
That night, Isabella transferred Draxton to that laboratory and ordered Little Dipper and Big Dipper’s
people to protect Draxton.
Then, Connor personally brought his soldiers over.
This laboratory was so secure that not even a mosquito could fly in.
They even installed an explosive-proof device. They were all prepared.
In the Willsmith family’s hotel, Old Craven knocked on Old Willsmith’s dool. When Old Willsmith saw
Old Craven, he knew what Old Craven would say.
After inviting him in, the two men sat down.
Old Craven said bluntly. “The Lockwood family’s patriarch won’t survive!”
Old Willsmith’s eyes flashed. “That’s right. It’s a pity that he’s so young.”
“Old Willsmith, what do you plan to do? Draxton is dead. Among the younger generation of the
Lockwood family, the oldest are Gary, Bernard, and Shephard. Bernard and Shepard are members of
the Willsmith family.” Old Craven asked.
Old Willsmith pondered for a moment and said, “But Draxton has children and a wife.”
Old Craven glared at him and said, “Don’t play dumb with me. How old are Draxton’s two children?
“Although Isabella is the Miraculous Doctor, she can’t replace the patriarch. She can’t take charge or
control the Lockwood family’s matters. There are so many descendants waiting to take over.”
Old Willsmith sighed and said, “Even if Gary doesn’t fight for it and I help Bernard and Shepard take
over, Gilbert’s branch has already been separated from us for decades. Although we once came from
the same source, it’s been so many generations, and we’re no longer close.”
Old Craven said, “You already said you came from the same source. You and Gilbert’s branch never
had a grudge against each other. It’s not impossible for you to build rapport with him. Moreover, there
are also benefits involved. Who doesn’t want to be the Lockwood family’s patriarch? Old Willsmith, it’s
time for you to visit Gilbert”
At Gilbert’s family’s house.
Revered by countless people in the business world, the chairman of the Willsmith family was wearing a
cotton undershirt and a floral apron. He held a spatula in one hand and a pot in the other.
The green peppers and meat slices flew up from the pan, and in the blink of an eye, they fell back into
the pan in distinct layers. The flames burned, and fragrance filled the house.
At the side, Vivian held a kitchen knife and cut a potato into potato shreds of the same thickness and
length. Her knife was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
At the dining table outside, Yoda Willsmith and his wife, Yannis Sullivan, craned their necks and stared
at the
kitchen.
“Our daughter’s knife skills have improved again!” Yannis said.
“Our daughter takes after her father. She’s talented!” Yoda gave her a thumbs up.
Then, the couple continued to crane their necks and wait eagerly.
This was what the butler saw when he invited Old Willsmith and Jeremy in.
When they saw that Gilbert and Vivian were cooking, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Yoda and Yanns quickly stood up to welcome them. “Old Willsmith, Jeremy You guys came at the right
time. I’ll get Dad and Vivian to prepare two more dishes. You guys can eat together!”
Old Willsmith was speechless.
He was here to talk business, not to eat. However, looking at the enthusiastic Yoda and Yannis, he
could only swallow his words and wait for the meal.
Gilbert was delighted to see him. As expected, he prepared two more dishes. Not long after, a large
table of dishes was served.
Old Willsmith smiled and said, “Gilbert, your culinary skills are superb!”
Instantly, Gilbert patted his chest proudly and said, “Haha, that’s right. I don’t have any other abilities
but in
www
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmterms of cooking skills, I’m one of the best! “Let’s not talk about anything else. In my family’s hotels,
many of the new dishes were discovered by me!” The man was chubby and smiled so widely that his
teeth couldn’t be
seen.
The corners of Jeremy’s mouth twitched as he glanced at his grandfather. How could this branch family
be like this? They made it seem like they were commoners in the city. They didn’t look like they came
from a wealthy family at all..
The corners of Old Willsmith’s mouth twitched as well. He forced a smile and was about to get to the
point when he saw Gilbert pick up a piece of pork with the fork.
Then, Gilbert said, “Try my grilled pork. You’re a boxer and have a good body. Eating some meat won’t
affect your health.”
Old Willsmith answered, “Okay.”
He took a bite, and immediately, the meat melted in his mouth. It was crispy but not greasy, and the
aftertaste was superb.
Old Willsmith couldn’t help but take another piece.
Gilbert became even happier. “Haha, it tastes good, right? Try this steamed carp and these mushroom
slices.”
He recommended them one by one.
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Old Willsmith had no choice but to put the matter to the back of his
mind and bury his head in his food.
At the side, Jeremy was also silently enjoying his food.
After the table was almost empty, Old Willsmith and Jeremy touched their round bellies and fell silent.
This family must be crazy!
Gilbert leaned back in his chair and patted his bloated stomach. He chuckled and said, “Hah, how
satisfying! Old Willsmith, I’ve benefited from you guys today. You don’t know this, but they usually don’t
let me eat my fill. I’m finally satisfied today!”
Old Willsmith rubbed his bloated belly and said with a stiff expression, “It’s right not to eat too much. If
you eat too much… Burp… You’ll feel uncomfortable… Burp.”
Old Willsmith was speechless.
