-His face was lined with wrinkles, appearing almost three-dimensional, reminiscent of the portrait his mother could barely recreate from memory. It was no surprise that Julian struggled to find anyone there.

Audrey’s memory was hazy. Regardless of artistic skill, lifelike portrayals are rendered ineffective if not executed correctly.
Was this my grandmother’s all-encompassing assistant?
Clive asked, “Could I know the surnames of these elderly individuals?”
“Our surnames don’t matter. No one has asked for them in decades, and we hardly remember them ourselves,” replied the old miracle doctor.
“Young Master Stone, I am an elderly physician. I have practiced medicine for decades and earned the title of ‘Miracle Doctor’ from others. Lilian Carden is my apprentice, and I believe you have heard of her.”
The old miracle doctor began by introducing himself.
Given Clive’s age, he certainly wasn’t familiar with this old miracle doctor and had never heard of him. However, his apprentice, Dr. Carden, was likely known to him.
Dr. Lilian Carden assisted Camryn in treating her eyes.
“Young Master Stone, we prefer to communicate directly.” We rescued this man decades ago when a group of assassins pursued him. They left him injured, poisoned, and in a state of extreme distress. He would have perished without our timely intervention. We saved him; otherwise, he would have died long ago.
After his treatment, he gradually improved, yet he still experienced lingering effects. I have to spend a considerable sum on high-quality medicine daily to sustain his life. When we saved him, he was very guarded and refused to share any information. I…
I sent people to investigate for an extended period and discovered that he is the most trusted all-around assistant of the Farrell family in Jensburg. I won’t delve into the details about this assistant, as I believe you are already familiar with the rules of the Farrell family.
He does not lack the desire to take revenge on his family leader; however, he has more than enough motivation, even if his resources are limited. The woman currently leading the Farrell family is not only ruthless but also highly capable. She has worked hard to achieve her position.
At that time, all the previous heads of the Farrell family were deceased. Her third sister, lacking the protection of the eldest sister, tragically died in an accident. Even if my eldest brother returns seeking retribution, it is uncertain whether he will succeed. Should he achieve his revenge, he would no longer retain the title of head of the Farrell family. Who would take over then?
My eldest brother is quite stubborn; he believes that his daughter should inherit the head position. In reality, this role can only be passed down to a family member. Before locating the two young ladies, he sought revenge, which led to his loss of the head position. If he were to hand it over to someone else, he would likely feel remorse for his family’s legacy.
We have been trying to persuade him to reconsider, but given his declining health, he stands little chance of succeeding in his quest for revenge alone. He lacks substantial evidence and fears retaliation from the opposing party. This is why he has remained with us for decades.
The old miracle doctor and others have long since retired, which means he still frequently goes out to treat patients and mentor his apprentices. Although they are aware of the feuds between wealthy families, they choose not to involve themselves in such matters. They
They rescued the old assistant, appreciating his loyalty and considering him a good friend. However, they made it clear that if the old assistant sought revenge against the head of the Farrell family, they would not get involved.
Intervening would make them enemies of the entire Farrell family. It wasn’t fear that held them back; rather, they wanted to prevent more innocent lives from being lost. If they did intervene, other wealthy families would realize that these old figures were still influencing Farrell family matters. To protect themselves, those families might band together to attack, as they too were concerned that these old figures might one day interfere in their affairs.
Decades ago, family clans were deemed difficult to manipulate, and they had publicly declared their intention to retire from the world, following through on their promise. The affairs of their apprentices were no longer their concern; they had only stated that they retired, not that their apprentices did as well.
For various reasons, they did not want the old assistant to bear this burden alone. They assisted him in locating the two daughters of the previous matriarch, Farrell. Unfortunately, Audrey and her sisters had been sent to an orphanage in Wiltspoon, far from Jensburg. In an era with limited transportation and communication, their search proved futile after a lengthy effort.
As time passed, the children grew and their appearances changed, further complicating Silver Fox’s attempts to locate them. Unlike in the past, today’s advancements in the Internet, transportation, and communication have allowed the apprentices they trained to expand their small organizations significantly, greatly enhancing their capabilities and making it much easier to find individuals.
