“No need for that,” Jackson answered coldly. “But since you’re such an expert, you must have heard ofClaude Strike, have you not?”

“No, I haven’t,” Claude answered promptly.

“Do you think I’d believe that?” Jackson gnashed his teeth. This guy knows more than he lets on

“You’re an odd man, Mr. Gleeman. There are a few billion people on this earth, and a lot of them are inthe field of medicine. I can’t possibly know each and every one of them,” Claude denied and startedjoking around without a care. “Is this Claude character your lover, Mr. Gleeman?”

That finally irritated Jackson. His face fell, and he gritted his teeth. “Claude is a man.”

“Oh?” Claude sighed regrettably, and he shot Jackson a weird look. “I didn’t expect you to have a thingfor men.”

“I do not!” Jackson growled.

“You do not have to explain yourself. I respect all sexualities. After all, love wins.” Claude gave him anunderstanding look, as if no matter what Jackson said, Claude would not change his mind anymore.

Jackson finally had enough, and he stormed off.

Elise didn’t even hear their conversation. She was staring at Joseph, spacing out. A moment later, sheasked calmly, “Does Tissote have everything you need for the surgery?”

“No,” Claude said calmly. “I’ll get someone to send it over from Mesdra. They’ll be here in two days, ifnothing goes wrong.”.

“Then perform the surgery in two days,” she snapped out of it and said. “Return the coffin to its defaultstate, and supply some nutrients to him.”

“Of course. I won’t spare any effort on this,” Claude replied.

Elise nodded. “Come over once you’re done. You’ll be staying at my place. I’ll be going first to getsomeone to clear up a room for you.”

She went outside right after, but when she brushed past Alexander, she stopped for a moment andlooked at him. “Come with me,” she said calmly, then continued walking.

Alexander gazed at Claude deeply for a moment, then he followed her out.

They kept going on until they came to the gate, and Elise stopped. She tuïrred around and frowned athim. “You seem troubled.”

“I do not,” Alexander said coldly.

“I believe you.” Elise knew that even the closest couple in the world would still have their own secrets.She respected him, but she also hoped he could rely on her. “I will always be here for you.”

Alexander frowned. He was struggling with himself, but in the end, he nodded. “I understand.”

He knew she’d listen to whatever he told her. He knew she could be careless and miss out on a lot ofdetails, but for some reason, he greedily wanted her to notice him more. He wanted her to treat him likehow she treated the man in the coffin. Maybe I shouldn’t make it hard for her. “Go. I’ll be joining you fordinner,” he said calmly.

That was a good sign. At least he was willing to sit with her, which meant he wasn’t going to push heraway anymore.

“Sure. I’ll tell Maria to make your favorite food.” She smiled at him and went to the yard next door.

He saw her off, and he sighed. Why am I dwelling on this? He knew her well. She had a lot on her mind,but he was the only one she cared about when it came to love. That’s enough, right? He told himselfthat, and that calmed him down a little.

But he couldn’t stay calm anymore when it came to dinner.

Claude was acting like he owned the place, and he joked around, making everyone laugh.

In the end, he took out a bottle of muscle enhancing pills and energy liquid from his bag and handed it toTrevor. “Since you’re Elise’s family, that makes you my family. You can stop going to the gym now. It’s awaste of time. Take my meds and eat enough food, and you’ll get your six pack in no time.”

Trevor’s eyes shone, and he took them from Claude without hesitation.

Then, Claude handed a bottle of custom-made mask to Jeanie. “Mrs. Anderson, you seem tired. Is itbecause Elise is worrying you? Oh, that’s just so sad. I got this from my research center overseas. It’sthe latest product. Use it once every day, and you’ll be ten years younger in a month.”

Jeanie beamed. “You have such a silver tongue. Thank you very much then. Do stay here for a whilelonger.”

“Thank you!” Claude smiled. When it came to Robin and his wife, however, he was a lot more respectful.Claude handed them two vials of meds for the heart. “Here, for you, Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair. We won’t behome all the time, and emergencies might arise, so this will help. Just inject it into your heart, and it’llmake sure you live for another three days. Once we get back, you’ll be rescued in no time.”

Robin nodded happily. “Thank you, young man.”

Alexander was visibly upset, and he didn’t even have a bite of his food.
