The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 549

Later that afternoon, at the Moore family mansion.

Donald and Sean had already selected some gifts in advance before heading to the Moore family mansion. 6

Lord Moore knew that the father and son from the Webb family were at Aurous Hill, but he also knew that something had happened to the youngest son of the Webb family. Therefore, he did not expect them to come and visit him so soon. 3

However, since both the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Webb family were here, Lord Moore was naturally very polite, and he came out to entertain the both of them in person. 3

At this time, Donald and Sean were both sitting opposite Lord Moore in the living room, and Oscar was serving tea and snacks to everyone as they all chatted happily together.

Donald presented Lord Moore with a lot of gifts and also shook hands with Lord Moore as he said, "Uncle Moore, I have not seen you in such a long time! I did not expect you to look so strong and healthy at this age. I really envy you, Lord Moore!" 2

Lord Moore smiled slightly before he said, "My body is not as strong and healthy as it seems. At best, I will be able to live for a few more years.'

Donald hurriedly replied, "Uncle Moore, you are truly

too humble."

After that, he spoke again, "Uncle Moore, I heard that you fell critically ill the last time. However, you seem to look very radiant. I believe that you are already in good health now?" 1

Lord Moore smiled bitterly before he said, "At first, I really thought that I was lucky and in good health, but I only realize today that I am far from great." 3

Donald was a little surprised when he heard Lord Moore's words. He quickly asked, "Uncle Moore, what do you define as great then?"

Lord Moore smiled slightly before he exclaimed, "Well, it would be great if I could return to the state my body was in more than ten years ago overnight!"

As he said this, Lord Moore thought of Anthony who had subverted his cognition and shocked him terribly today. 5

He could not forget about it even after coming back from the Serene World Clinic, and he was still brooding over it. 3

He did not know if he would ever be able to experience an opportunity like that for himself. If he could, he would not have lived in vain.

Donald did not know what Lord Moore had experienced and witnessed for himself. Therefore, he thought that Lord Moore was joking when he said this. So, he smiled before he said, "As the saying goes, there is a day where the flowers will bloom again, but people will never become young again. Uncle Moore, I know that you wish that you were young again. I also have the same wish as you. Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a fantasy that is impossible to realize." 4

Lord Moore smiled slightly and did not say anything else.

After all, the only reason why Donald felt they couldn't become young again was because he had never encountered someone like Charlie in this world. 1

Thus, Lord Moore did not want to waste any more time talking to him about this.

At this time, Lord Moore suddenly asked Donald, "By the way, Donald, how is your second son's situation now?"

Donald sighed before he said, "He is still in the same condition. I have already tried all sorts of methods and ways, but there is no progress at all. I have already sent him back to Sudbury on a plane earlier this morning." 1

As he spoke about this, Donald continued speaking," The reason Sean and I have decided to stay back in Aurous Hill is because I want to replace out the reason why my youngest son suddenly came down with this illness. I strongly suspect that someone has cast a spell on him or used black magic on him. There is a strong reason for us to believe that his illness has something to do with the witchcraft practices in Southeast Asia. I wonder if you know anyone good at dealing with this kind of practice in Aurous Hill, Uncle Moore?" 2

Lord Moore shook his head before he said, "I have only heard of witchcraft and black magic, but I have never seen or experienced it personally before. I can't even be certain whether these things really exist or not."

Donald replied earnestly, "These things are actually true, but they are usually used by the smaller communities and poorer people on the sidelines.

Many people use these methods because they desire to become richer and gain wealth for themselves. Wealthy and powerful families such as ours generally do not engage in these practices."
