Chapter 158
When Shawn nodded obediently, only did Mr. Roger Sr. smile as he said, “That’s my son.”
Shawn lowered his head, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. “This old man had no idea I. existed
until I was fifteen. When my ailing mother finally brought me to him, he insulted her. He only reluctantly
acknowledged me as his son after receiving the DNA results.
‘At the beginning, when he was still healthy, he had treated me offhandedly, as if I was nobody to him.
‘Only when his health has deteriorated, and my elder brothers have gotten more and more out of his
hand did I manage to earn a spot by ying the role of an obedient and well-behaved son and be
his most trusted person among the Rogerses,’ Shawn thought as he lowered his eyes, the eyes that
shed with a stern look.
‘The power of the Rogers family is my only goal. With it, I will have the right to discard others in the
future, and no one will be able to do so to me!’ With that in mind, Shawn helped Mr. Roger Sr. walk and
said gently, “Father, are you feeling better today?”
Usually, with Mr. Roger Sr.’s stamina, he would not stay up past eight o’clock at night waiting for Shawn’s
return. Instead, he would go to bed early and fall asleep while gasping for breath.
Nevertheless, although his health was on the verge of copse, it had yet to reach the critical point. In
other words, Mr. Roger Sr. might be able to live longer if his condition improved. And if he had only found
out about his health a monthter, he would only have had six months to live at most.
Apparently, Mr. Roger Sr. felt more energetic than usual today. “I took Ms. Riddle’s advice. After basking
in the sun outside our manor in the afternoon, I feel much better,” he eximed joyfully.
However, when he thought of how hard Shawn had persuaded him to take more naps by telling him its
benefits, he squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at Shawn with suspicions.

Shawn raised his head immediately, his eyes full of admiration and warmth. “That’s great. I’ll apany
Father to bask in the sun every day from now on!” The sight of his youthful face had lightened up Mr.
Roger Sr. mentally and physically.
‘How could my youngest son, who has longed for fatherly love, possibly harm me? Perhaps he really
thought that taking more breaks and naps would do good for me,’ Mr. Roger Sr. convinced himself. He
smiled at Shawn. “Don’t you have to hang out with your friends?”
Shawn looked at him with his slightly curved eyes. “They aren’t as important as you, Father.”
Mr. Roger Sr.’s gaze remained at Shawn as his satisfaction toward him grew greater. With Shawn’s help,
he stood up and said with a generous tone, “I won’t stop you from having fun with those friends in the
future. But remember toe home early. Don’t make me wait till
Shawn could sense some displeasure in Mr. Roger Sr.’s words. He quickly nodded and said yes. Mr.
Roger Sr. let Shawn help him to the door of his room and then said, “Okay. It’s gettingte. You should
return to your room early to rest.” After speaking, he quickly opened the door and went in. The wooden
door was then heavily shut in front of Shawn, sending up ayer of
fine dust.
Shawn’s face was hidden in the shadows. No one could tell what he was thinking. Before he turned
away, he let out a smirk.
In his bedroom, Mr. Roger Sr. opened the ck packet from Nicole and carefully took out something
from it. After looking at it thoughtfully for a while, he picked the pill and swallowed it. Actually, the sunlight
was not effective enough to make him energetic. The main contributor was that small packet of medicine
from Nicole.
He had reason to suspect that Nicole had some connection with the famous doctor he was looking for.
There was only a simple serial number instead of a special anti-counterfeiting tag found on the pills. In
other words, it was not a product manufactured by any pharmaceuticalpanies at present.
