The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Charlie glanced at Jordan, then at Kathleen.

Indeed, Jordan was on the verge of dying. His breathing was growing weaker and weaker by the passing second.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlie said nothing as he watched Kathleen and Chandler's pleading faces. He silently took out a Healing Pill that had been cut in half from his pocket. He had prepared half a Healing Pill ahead.

When he took out the pill, Kathleen became so emotional that she immediately burst into tears.

The medicine pills looked pretty much the same. She thought the half pill Charlie took out was the Rejuvenating Pill her grandfather desired.

She recalled the miraculous effect of the Rejuvenating Pill earlier. A quarter pill could easily save her grandfather. If he could take a half pill, his life could be extended by six to seven, maybe even ten years.

She was overwhelmed by excitement, and didn't know how to thank Charlie. While she was lost for words, Charlie interrupted her in a stoic tone, "Miss Fox, I must make this clear. This is not a Rejuvenating Pill."

Kathleen was stunned. "It's not a Rejuvenating Pill? Then, what...what's this medicine, Mr. Wade?"

Charlie explained, "This is a Healing Pill. It's weaker than the Rejuvenating Pill, but just half is more than enough to save your grandfather. It could also extend his lifespan by a year or two."

Hearing that, Kathleen sighed in relief.

She dared not be greedy and pray for her grandfather to extend his lifespan by ten years. She would be fortunate enough if she could overcome this hurdle in front of her.

She accepted her fate and quickly knelt on the ground to show her sincerity. She bowed to Charlie and said gratefully," Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you for saving Grandpa's life! I'll do anything to repay your kindness...!"

Charlie waved his hand and

interrupted her. His voice turned a little cold as he said, "I don't need you to do anything in return. Consider this Healing Pill a

repayment for your gratitude. I'm e

also giving you this because of your virtuousness for your grandfather. Once he takes this half pill, we don't owe each other anything anymore." Kathleen was a little reluctant. She wanted to explain herself, but noticed her grandfather's breath gradually weakening. She had no choice but to relent, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you...!"

Then, she quickly got up and went to Jordan's side, and put the half pill into his mouth.

After a while, Jordan finally opened his eyes weakly.

Half a Healing Pill was more than enough to save his life. The residue could only improve his health ever so slightly. While Jordan was still very weak after taking the pill, his life was no longer in danger.

When Jordan opened his eyes and saw Kathleen, he called her name weakly," Kathleen..."

Then, he immediately burst into tears and cried bitterly.

All his life, he had been winning all his battles without suffering any losses. However, he didn't expect to face his biggest failure in his nies, and that he would lose to his son of all people.

He was aggrieved, and was even more ashamed when he saw that Chandler was around. "Chandler, I must've been a joke to you today..."

Chandler shook his head solemnly."

Jordan, you should clear your mind

è

for now. Your health is the most important. While there is life, there is hope! If you want to take back your power, you must first take care of your health! Alright?"

Jordan shook his head with a bitter smile. Overwhelmed with emotions, he said in a hollow voice, "Chandler, I'm afraid I don't have much time in life. How can I take back what's mine? That b*stard is in complete control of everything in the United States. I'm just a dying old man without a penny to my name. How can 1 fight him?"

Kathleen hurriedly interjected, "Grandpa! Earlier, Mr. Wade gave you half a Healing Pill. Your life is no longer in danger. You'll live for at least a year or two!"

Jordan looked at Kathleen, stunned. He turned to Charlie, who was beside her, and muttered in astonishment, "This... Is this Mr. Wade?"
