Josephine laughed and said, "I know that the two of you haven't seen each other in months and miss each other, but don't be anxious. Quin has gone out to take care of something. She isn't at home today but you'll see her tomorrow."

"Something?" Fade felt weird. After all, his wife wasn't familiar with Micovia. What could there be? However, in this situation, it wasn't good to ask too much so he could only nod in agreement.

Then, Josephine laughed again and said, "Have a good rest here tonight. Tomorrow, we'll attend a dinner together. At that time, Quin will be back."

"A dinner? Do you mean the celebrity charity dinner the Hoyte family is organizing?" Fade though and his expression became a little weird.

Josephine noticed his weird expression and laughed. "Lowell has told me about what happened between you and Harson. It isn't a big deal, it's just a quarrel between kids. It's quite common. There's not much to make out of."

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll talk to Mr. Hoyte about it tomorrow and the matter will be settled." "Thank you, Madam Li." Fade nodded.

Josephine said, "Don't stand on ceremony."

He smiled and remembered something. His face sank and he asked, "Madam Li, how is Jeremy?"

"I'm a practitioner of Chinese medicine and know some things. Last time, I treated Jeremy. If it's convenient, I'll take a look at him."

Hearing this, her expression changed and her face twitched. She sighed and lowered her head before speaking in a low voice, "Jeremy's had a hard life. I had many famous Micovian doctors look at him after I received him but it wasn't very effective."

"Recently, a good doctor came to Hospital Lissad and I sent Jeremy over for treatment."

"I see." Fade said, "I'll go visit Jeremy when I have the time. Maybe I can cure him now."

Some time ago, he had found the Heaven Level herb, White Dew Juncus, and obtained the White Frost Healing Skill after eating it. His medical skills increased and he thought that maybe he could cure Jeremy's injuries.

Josephine wiped her tears when she heard this and said, "Then I thank you on Jeremy's behalf."

"Madam Li, you're too polite," he responded.

She stood up and said, "That's right, it's getting late. You must be tired from your journey. Have a good rest tonight."

"Yes." He got up too and prepared to see her off.

Beside him, Serena quickly got up too and slightly bowed to see her off.

Josephine saw her and noticed her looks. "This must be Miss Zuo. I'm sorry, I was too excited that Fade is here and I forgot to greet you. I'm really sorry."

"Mrs. Manson, you're too polite. I'm very grateful that you're taking me in for the night," Serena thanked her.

Josephine smiled and said, "Have a good rest, Miss Zuo. We'll go to the charity dinner tomorrow together."

"There's no need. It's too much trouble, Mrs. Manson. I..." Serena kept waving her hands.

Josephine feigned anger and said, "Miss Zuo, you are Fade's friend and my distinguished guest. How could it be troublesome receiving a distinguished guest? You must come with us to the dinner tomorrow." "This..." Serena was flattered and quickly thanked her, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Manson."

Then, Josephine left.

Lowell then led Fade and Serena to the guest rooms.

Along the way, they met a young, blond girl who was about 18 or 19 on the way through a small garden.

Lowell's face became respectful when he saw the girl and he bowed and stood by the side before greeting her, "Miss Liah, good evening."

This Miss Liah looked coldly at him and didn't reply. Her gaze fell onto Fade and Serena and she interrogated him, "What's with these two Chinese people? Why are they in my house?"

He quickly explained, "Miss Liah, this is Mr. Fade and Miss Serena. They are distinguished guests whom Mrs. Manson has invited."

"Distinguished guests?" She sneered and spoke without hiding her sarcasm, "She shamelessly seduced my father and came to my house. A few months back she brought a few outsiders back and now, she has brought another two."

"Does she really think this is her house or does she want to seize the Manson family with all these foreigners?"

"Ahem, this..." He didn't know how to reply and could only bow his head. "Miss Liah, y-you may have misunderstood Mrs. Manson."

"Misunderstood? Hehe, you think I

can't see what type of person she is?" She sneered before waving her hands impatiently. "Take them away quickly. I don't want them walking around in front of me; it's annoying."

Lowell's expression looked terrible, but he could only reply, "Yes," before leading Fade and Serena away through the garden quickly and to the guest rooms behind it.

At the door of the guest room, Lowell explained to the duo, "I'm really sorry for what happened just now."

"Miss Liah is Mr. Manson's youngest

daughter from his third wife. She

has some misunderstandings about the current Mrs. Manson so she

treated both of you... I apologize again." As he apologized, he bowed deeply.

Serena quickly waved her hands. "Mr. Lin, there's no need, really. It's nothing. We won't take a kid's tantrums to heart."

Fade also nodded beside her.

"Thank you for understanding. Have a good rest," Lowell thanked them and left.

Then, Fade and Serena said goodnight to each other before going to their respective rooms to rest.

After Fade and Serena fell asleep, the lights were still on in the master bedroom of the huge Manson family mansion.

Josephine was putting on her pajamas and sitting in a chair. Opposite her on the bed was a local man in his sixties or seventies. He was the current head and leader of the Manson family, Gerall Manson. "The person you mentioned has come?" He asked.

She nodded and replied, "He's here. I just met him. He even brought a young girl with him."

"He even brought a young girl? There won't be any accidents, right? He frowned.

She shook her head. "There won't be. I asked Lowell to investigate. That young girl is an ordinary Chinese citizen, an international student. They met on the way here and have nothing to do with our business.' "That's right, speaking of this, I remember something. That kid beat Harson up at the Starlight Hotel."
