Chapter 54
Forget dissing Rocco–Dan could slap Rocco in the face, and Rocco would never retaliate!
Frank shook his head. “No, I understand how the boy felt. There’s no reason for me to
blame him.”
If anything, Helen was to blame for bringing Lyndon the fake Ichor Pill, which led to Rocco
believing Frank was bringing him another dud when he brought a real one.
Naturally, that was no reason to hold a grudge against Rocco,
Dan then walked up to Frank, appearing utterly respectful. “Your understanding certainly
sets your apart from the rest… also, should you find the time, why don’t you visit my Flora
Hall? We can exchange our knowledge when it comes to medicine.”
Frank smiled in turn. “Don’t worry, Mr. Zimmer. I’ll actually require your assistance, since
I’ll need plenty of medicinal ingredients soon enough. I’ll be imposing plenty.”
Dan was beaming at Frank’s words–imposing suited him just fine. If anything, he was more

Decent relationships went both ways, after all.
“Feel free to ask if you need anything, Mr. Lawrence,” Dan assured Frank. “I’ll never turn

“Thank you, Mr. Zimmer.” Frank smiled faintly. “I shall get going if there’s nothing else…
Also, please ask the McCoys to release Helen Lane later.”
Dan was taken aback. “Sorry for asking, but what’s your connection to Ms. Lane?”
“She’s my ex–wife,” Frank said quietly.
With those words, he left in silence.

The Lanes hated him, and now that Helen was unhappy with him as well, he had even less

Dan was in turn gaping in disbelief–he was actually curious if Frank and Vicky were a thing
since they were so close.
Forget Vicky being engaged… Surely the Turnbulls would not let Vicky marry a divorcee?!
“M–Mr. Zimmer! I–It’s a miracle!” Rocco ran outside just then, almost stumbling as he did.
“My father… he’s recovered! Wait, where’s Mr. Lawrence?”
“Gone,” Dan replied quietly. “Be nicer if you ever meet him again–he did not hold against
you.

“Of course, of course!” Rocco nodded repeatedly before asking softly, “Actually, who is he?
Why haven’t I heard of him, let alone that he was with the Lanes?!”
“Let’s just say that you shouldn’t ask too many questions,” Dan said, shooting him a look.
“And
where’s Ms. Lane? Let her go already.”

Just then, the door opened, with Rocco smiling in greeting, suddenly utterly humble. “I’m
so sorry about my impulsive behavior before, Ms. Lane. I almost hurt you there–please
don’t hold it against
me.”
Helen was left taken aback by his drastic change of attitude and could tell right away that
either her grandfather or Sean had resolved the issue.
“It’s no issue, Rocco. How’s your father?” she asked.
Rocco smiled. “Your husband treated him, and he’s made a full recovery. He’s resting in his
room as we speak, but don’t worry–the terms you negotiated before are still in effect.”
“My husband?” Helen was stunned.
Judging from the way Rocco said it, it was definitely not her grandfather. Could it really

“Yeah…” Rocco replied, left a little bemused by her reaction. “That’s how he introduced
