The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 543

Chapter 543

Felix stared at Lemuel, wondering if the latter had lost his mind. "Mr. Morris, are you sure you're talking to me?"

Lemuel's smile widened as he stepped closer. "Of course, I'm talking to you. And when I say your father, I don't mean the one who passed away. I'm referring to your biological father, Victor Greene." Felix was shocked. He had never met Lemuel before, yet this man seemed to know so much about him. He asked, "How do you know about that?"

Lemuel explained, "Victor and I are best friends. Actually, this antidote I'm working on is for him, but it seems we're running out of time.

"Five years ago, he started falling ill. It's been relentless-as soon as one disease is cured, another takes its place, as if he's been cursed."

Felix let out a bitter laugh. "Well, maybe he deserves it."

Any parent who abandoned their child deserved such a fate in his mind-there was no excuse for abandonment, especially when they had the choice not to have a child in the first place.

Sensing Felix's feelings, Lemuel did not push the issue. "I've developed a special diagnostic skill that allowed me to recognize that you're Victor's son as soon as I saw you."

Felix had to admit that Lemuel's diagnostic skills were impressive, clearly deserving of his ranking as Dragonia's top healer.

"You have your reasons to hate him, and I have my reasons for asking," Lemuel said, tossing a small package to Felix.

"Take the medicine. Think about it for a few days. If you decide not to see him, just throw it away- I really don't have time to argue."

"I suspect you want me to examine your friend's illness and see if I can help," Felix stated insightfully.

Lemuel just shook his head with a slight smile and walked away. Meanwhile, Felix stared at the small box in his hands, his emotions conflicted.

While this concerned his biological father, hatred still dominated his feelings, and he was sure he would not go. He had always maintained that he only had one set of parents-the ones who were now eternally at rest. When Felix returned to the abandoned brick factory, Jeffrey was still standing where he had left him, with no sign of Malcolm yet.

Felix asked, "Jeffrey, what do you know about Dragonia's top healer, Lemuel Morris?"

Jeffrey shook his head. "Not much, except that he once treated one of our family elders.

"His medical skills are unmatched, but he tends to disappear without warning. Still, he's easier to find than Gerald, who might as well be dead for all anyone knows."

Felix almost laughed out loud. He could imagine how Gerald would curse up a storm if he knew people thought he was possibly dead.

As time passed, a car pulled up, signaling Malcolm's arrival.

In a luxurious mansion in Yartford, Nala was working on her laptop. Her work was interrupted by the sudden crash of her door being flung open. She looked up, her annoyance immediately growing when she saw it was Alfie. "Have you forgotten basic manners?" she asked coldly.

Alfie swallowed nervously before speaking, "My apologies, miss, but it's urgent! It's about Felix."

Nala's attention was immediately caught. She commanded, "Go on!"

"We just received word that one of the Crayden family elders has gone missing. I'm worried they might be going after Felix," Alfie reported anxiously.
