Go Back and I Rule There novel Chapter 73

Mr. Turner Sr. studied his grandson’s handsome face. “You seem to be in a good mood.”

Warner’s fingers paused. “Am I?”

Mr. Turner Sr. picked up his teacup. “Your security was completely bypassed, and you’re smiling. If that’s not a good mood, what is? You rascal!”

Warner knew his grandfather was still upset about him not taking his health seriously. He poured another cup of tea. “Grandfather, David must have told you about my recent physical condition and… some of the people I’ve met.”

Mr. Turner Sr. looked at the ceiling, feigning ignorance. “David is your bodyguard. Why would he tell me such details?”

“You’re right, Grandfather,” Warner said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

Mr. Turner Sr. was tired of playing games with his grandson.

The Turners were all straightforward people, except for this one. He was a sly one.

“Alright, fine, just tell me! Which one of the attendees today is this ‘Cure-Master’ that David was talking about?” Mr. Turner Sr. wanted to speak with them personally, to thank them.

He knew that countless renowned doctors, both at home and abroad, had diagnosed his grandson and declared he wouldn’t live past twenty-seven.

But at the very least, the boy’s appetite had improved recently, and for the Turner family, that was the best news in the world.

Warner was evasive. “You’ll have to guess, Grandfather.”

Mr. Turner Sr. actually pulled out the guest list he’d been keeping. “Could it be this young doctor from the Lopez family? His skills aren’t that impressive. What about this one from the Woods family?”

Mr. Turner Sr. went through nearly all the younger generation of doctors, never once considering Rosalind.

“It couldn’t possibly be that interesting young girl I met,” Mr. Turner Sr. said, leaning on his cane and shaking his head. “No, definitely not! You, you rascal, you have a severe physical aversion to any girl who gets close to you, besides family!”

He thought about how his grandson had never been close to anyone his entire life.

Mr. Turner Sr.’s voice grew heavy. “What are we going to do about you finding a wife?”

“Don’t worry, Grandfather,” Warner said calmly. “I’ve already spoken to Mr. Martinez. I told him my body is unfit for marriage.”

At this, Mr. Turner Sr.’s mustache practically flew off his face. “Do you think I want you to call off the engagement? I want you to think about your own romantic life!”

“I have thought about it.” Whether intentionally or not, Warner let out a few soft coughs, his handsome face turning pale and his breathing shallow. “Grandfather, you know as well as I do that in my condition, I can’t possibly give anyone happiness.”

David suspected his young master was putting on an act, but he would never dare to expose him!

Mr. Turner Sr. knew this rascal was doing it on purpose, but then he remembered the prophecy The Sage had given on the day of his grandson's one-month celebration…
