Chapter 381 Repay You With Spring Water
Tyson's eyes glinted with surprise. He could not help but lower his voice and say, "Really? This is very serious."
Thomas nodded solemnly and said, "Please follow me to take a look."
With that, Thomas led Tyson to the room where Draxton was resting.
Draxton was talking to Isabella at that moment. Of course, Big Dipper and Little Dipper could also hear them. Isabella told him, "I'm safe in the Hendrix family at the moment and there's no risk of me getting exposed. However, I think the son-in-law of the Hendrix family with the surname of Easton is a bit restless. How's the situation on your side? Have you contacted Master Grey and the others?"
Draxton was about to answer when two women walked in one after another.
He could only shut up.
Isabella was worried when she realized that Draxton had suddenly gone silent. But suddenly, she heard a sweet voice.
One of the women walking in was Ingrid Riley who was the eldest child of the Riley family. Her parents favored her more since she was young. Therefore, she was a little spoiled and willful.
On the contrary, her sister, Ivory Riley, who was four years younger than her, was relatively more reserved.
For example at that moment, Ingrid did not hide her infatuation with the man they had saved.
Even though he had been unconscious since they rescued him, his extraordinary bearing and handsome look made Ingrid's heart flutter.
"Sir, you have finally woken up. You've been sleeping for several days."
Draxton asked, "Where am I?"
Ingrid looked shy as she slowly walked forward with some bread and said with a gentle smile, "Sir, this is the Riley family. We're at the border between the paradise Settlement and the slums Settlement." Even though the Riley family was not in the Paradise Settlement, their wealth and power were not inferior to that of any families there.
Ingrid thought all men would be attracted to her since she was beautiful and was the eldest daughter of the Riley family.
Draxton glanced at the girl in front of him and saw that she was blushing. Her liquid eyes were sparkly. He had seen many such women. In fact, since he was young, this kind of woman barely had a chance to get close to him.
He nodded lightly after learning where he was, but at the same time, he was panicking.
That was because he clearly heard Isabella's teasing laughter coming from the golden butterfly stud. She also said, "Oh, could it be that you've been saved by this Miss Riley?"
Draxton was stumped for words for a second.
He then blurted out in panic, "Miss Riley, did you save me?"
After asking, he regretted it.
Ingrid looked at Draxton with a coy expression and nodded gently. Just as she was about to say something, Ivory spoke.
"Yes, my sister saved you. We happened to be taking a walk by the river that day."
Ivory wasn't as gorgeous as Ingrid, but she was gentle, looking like a harmless rabbit. People were more inclined to protect her.
Ingrid glanced at her sister pleasedly. Actually, it was Ivory who discovered Draxton first.
Initially, Ingrid didn't want to save a man they didn't know. It was Ivory who had ordered their servants to save him. But Ingrid certainly wouldn't admit it.
"Yes, Sir. It was me who saved you."
After Ingrid finished speaking, she looked at Draxton with a burning gaze. Normally, a man would say he
would repay her kindness and she would humbly refuse. Perhaps after a few rounds, the man might fall in love with her.
However, at that moment, Draxton didn't say anything because Isabella was making a more sarcastic remark. "It's the hardest to pay back a beautiful girl. Mr. Lockwood, I guess you'll have to offer yourself to thank her for saving your life."
Draxton was flustered and his dark blue eyes became a little glassy. Without thinking, he said, "Thank you, Miss Riley. You have saved my life, I'll..."
He suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Gosh, I'm screwed. I was affected by Bella and said something I shouldn't have said."
His eyes trembled slightly. Especially when he heard Isabella's threatening chuckle from the golden butterfly stud, all this hair stood on end.
Hence, he backtracked and said, "I'll repay you with spring water."
"Haha!"
Isabella was bent double with laughter.
She did not expect Draxton to be so silly.
Isabella's laughter was followed by Big Dipper and Little Dipper's snickering.
Draxton's face darkened.
He had lost his dignity as the patriarch.
Ingrid was surprised. She said in puzzlement, "Spring... spring water?"
Ivory immediately went forward to tug at her sister, but her almond-shaped eyes were looking at Draxton. She said softly. "Sir, you have a sense of humor. How should we address you?" Draxton was stunned. Just as he was about to say a fake name, he suddenly saw someone walking over from outside.
He listened carefully and realized that it was two men.
Draxton lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
When Ingrid and Ivory saw it, they immediately went forward to help him. However, Draxton held out his hand to stop them and said, "No, thanks. I can stand up by myself."
The two sisters could only retreat to the side.
After fusing the Silver Crystal Potion, Draxton had a speedy recovery. However, he felt a little uncomfortable after not eating for several days, so took the bread Ingrid sent over and ate it as he was looking outside.
Just then, the two men walked in.
When Thomas saw that Draxton had woken up and his two daughters were both there, a twinge of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
However, he immediately laughed out loud. "Haha, I see that this gentleman has already woken up. That's great."
Draxton finished the last bite of the bread and wiped his mouth gracefully. Then, he stood up unhurriedly and said, "I heard from the two ladies that this is the Riley family. Thank you, Mr. Riley, for generously taking meNôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"You're most welcome. It's a blessing to be able to save people's lives. Moreover, Sir, I can tell that you're a remarkable man by your striking appearance. Oh, by the way, how should I address you?" He stared at Draxton intently.
Beside him, Tyson was looking at Draxton without blinking.
He was a little excited. "It is really Draxton Lockwood. Julian thought that he is dead. Unexpectedly, he is still alive. There is a bitter feud between them.
"Draxton is not an ordinary man. Since he is not dead, if he wants to take revenge, Julian will probably suffer.
"What should I do then?"
Tyson was torn. He tilted his head and looked at Mr. Riley who was standing beside him. "This Thomas has a
close relationship with Julian. It can be said that he is Julian's lackey.
"If I don't take their side, Thomas and Julian would probably make things difficult for me. Julian will definitely not let me off.
"Forget it. Draxton was only an outlander after all."
After thinking for a moment, Tyson made up his mind. He smiled and said to Thomas, "Mr. Riley, I have something on. I won't disturb you any longer."
With that, he was about to leave.
Thomas's eyes flashed. He knew that Tyson had confirmed Draxton's identity and was about to make arrangements to capture him. Hence, he said, "Okay, goodbye"
He did not reveal Tyson's identity because he was afraid that Draxton would get suspicious.
However, just as Tyson was walking out, Draxton suddenly said calmly, "Second Master, hold on."
