Madison’s voice was laced with irritation as she exclaimed, “Can you believe it? The old man just had a meeting with Steve!”

The response from the other end was one of disbelief. “What did you just say? He met with Steve?”

“Absolutely,” Madison replied, her frustration bubbling over. “I saw them together when I returned home. Xavier was there to see Steve off.”

“Why would he choose to meet with Steve at this hour?” the man inquired, his tone revealing confusion.

Madison furrowed her brow, mirroring his bewilderment. “I have no idea, but something tells me it’s significant.”

There was a brief silence on the line before the man spoke again, his voice steady. “I get it. I’ll have someone investigate this further. If you get a chance, try to subtly gather more information from him. See what you can uncover.”

“Sure, I will. But you need to act quickly. I can’t shake the feeling that the old man summoned him to finalize his will,” Madison said, her voice tinged with anxiety.

“Understood,” came the reply before the call ended.

Meanwhile, in the study, Xavier pushed the door open, stepping into the room with an air of purpose.

Merrick, engrossed in the book he was holding, glanced up and asked quietly, “Is he gone?”

Xavier nodded affirmatively. “Yes, he’s left. But when I saw him off, I noticed that Miss Madison seemed to have bumped into him. I can’t help but worry that…”

Merrick cut him off with a scoff. “Don’t fret. If I were planning to have Steve come here, do you really think I wouldn’t take the necessary precautions? Steve knows how to manage delicate situations.”

A sense of relief washed over Xavier. “As expected of Master’s wisdom,” he replied, his tension easing.

At dinner, the maid had already laid out an elaborate spread on the table, the aroma wafting through the air.

Merrick occupied the head of the table, his presence commanding. The butler ladled a steaming bowl of soup and placed it in front of him with practiced precision.

The atmosphere was thick with silence as they all ate, the clinking of cutlery the only sound breaking the stillness.

Merrick continued to chew his food, his demeanor unchanged by the revelation. “I asked him to return. Why? Are you particularly close to him?”

Madison forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “No, not at all. I was just curious about why he would come to Dracovia now.”

Merrick finished chewing, his voice steady and authoritative. “You don’t need to be curious. Focus on your own affairs. It’s best to avoid delving into matters that do not concern you.”

“Yes, I understand,” Madison replied, her face falling as she felt the weight of his words.

Meanwhile, life on the mountain with Lilian was a comforting routine, filled with simplicity and warmth. Each day, she savored tea with Leonard, engaged in lively discussions about Kingston, played chess, and exchanged thoughts on medical techniques.

Then, New Year’s Eve arrived with a flourish.

Lorraine had outdone herself, preparing a grand feast that filled the table with an array of delicious dishes.

As was tradition, Leonard presented Lilian with a large red envelope, a symbol of good fortune. Fenton and Lorraine also showered her with gifts, their affection evident. After all, she was the child they had watched blossom into the remarkable woman she was, and they cherished her as if she were their own granddaughter.
