Go Back and I Rule There novel Chapter 48

Just then, the sound of heavy footsteps approached from outside the courtyard.

Galeno, who had been missing all day, stepped through the gate, lugging a large cloth sack on his shoulder.

He seemed surprised to find so many people at home, his small frame freezing for a moment before his eyes landed on Rosalind.

Rosalind raised an eyebrow. “You’re back? Grandma was asking about you all afternoon. Go eat first.”

Galeno gave a shy “Mm,” and headed inside.

Seeing the boy carrying such a large sack by himself, Dr. Lopez stepped forward to help. “That looks heavy. Let me help you… lift it!”

He grunted on the last word, the veins on his neck bulging, but the sack didn't budge.

“This… is quite heavy, huh,” Dr. Lopez said awkwardly. Unwilling to give up, he tried again, this time with both hands, gritting his teeth.

Galeno just watched him quietly, not moving.

Dr. Lopez finally gave up, his arms dropping to his sides as he panted. “Seriously, what do you have in here? It’s so heavy.”

How could a kid be this strong?

Rosalind walked over, effortlessly lifted the sack, and tossed it into the storage room. “There.”

She made it look so easy, as if she were just tossing out a small bag of trash…

Dr. Lopez’s ego shattered.

“I, this…”

Was he really that much of a weakling?

Mrs. Yates Sr. laughed heartily. “Galeno was born with incredible strength. And Rosalind likes to practice boxing. See, there’s a punching bag over there.”

Dr. Lopez forced a laugh. She certainly had unique hobbies!

Warner remained silent. He sat at the stone table, the sleeves of his shirt slightly rolled up, turning a teacup in his fingers. His eyes were filled with a probing intensity, and his cool, noble aura brought a sense of pressure to the small courtyard.

Galeno immediately noticed him and gestured with his hands: Who is he?

Taking advantage of the fact that her grandmother had gone inside to cut some fruit, Rosalind replied, “A patient.”

Galeno looked at Warner again.
