Chapter 762 There Will Always Be a Place for You
Thus, Waylen received several messages on his phone after coming out of the laboratory. He was
puzzled as among them were seven or eight autographed photos of Daphne, as well as some
exclusive merchandise that only the studio would have. He couldn't help but wonder what those were
for.
With that, he scrolled up and saw Leanna's message that read, 'Charlotte told me that you are a fan of
Daphne, so I sent these to you.' As he scrolled up further, he came across a message about Zoe's
illness. He looked through it and was about to make a phone call to her, but before dialing her number,
he hesitated and typed a message instead. 'Has your friend ever had a miscarriage?'
After a while, Leanna replied, 'Yes.'
With that, Waylen replied, 'Got it. I'll be busy these days. Just send it over together with your medicine
in a couple of days.'
'Thank you.' Leanna replied and sent him another message that read, 'There's another favor I'd like to
ask of you…' To which Waylen replied with a '?'
'My friend's mother is also feeling unwell…' Leanna replied
Waylen was speechless and realized that was the reason why Leanna sent him the autographed
photos of Daphne. But unlike Charlotte, he wasn't interested in those pictures.
Leanna then sent a text that read, 'Or perhaps you can let me know how you charge for it? I can
transfer it to you. I feel bad for troubling you like this.'
Upon reading her reply, Waylen replied, 'It's fine. It's tacky to talk about that.'
He then added, 'I eat at Naomi's place every day, and she hasn't asked me for money. Send me the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinformation about your friend's mother's condition. I'll take a look.'
Although Waylen said so, Leanna still felt bad and sent him a lot of local specialties from Highside.
On the other hand, when Waylen got downstairs, he said to Naomi, "Naomi, I need to make a trip to the
Woodley Residence. Are you coming along?"
Naomi, who was holding the baby, shook her head. "I won't be going." Seeing that she was caring for
the child, Waylen didn't say much and left with the car keys.
At the same time, in the ancestral hall of the Woodley Family, Philip stood at the front, and after praying
for Kian, he turned to Charlotte and said, "Charlotte, come here." Hearing that, Charlotte obediently
walked over and received a pat on the head from Charles.
Philip leaned on his cane and said, "Charlotte, Kian had always cherished you. It was he who originally
arranged the marriage engagement with Lachlan. Now that the engagement is dissolved, you should
bow and apologize to him for failing his good intentions."
Following that, Charlotte put her hands together and bowed respectfully three times. She expressed
gratitude to the departed soul of Kian silently in her heart. She hoped that in the future, she would meet
someone she really liked—someone who would make her happy just by seeing him. After bowing, she
lightly touched Kian's photo.
Just then, Philip looked toward the outside of the ancestral hall and announced, "Lachlan has arrived."
Hearing that, Lachlan replied with a faint voice. With that, Philip said, "Since you're here, you should
offer some prayers as well. The Woodley Family has recently gone through so much, and the ancestral
hall was almost destroyed. The spirits here have inevitably been disturbed." Although Joseph set fire to
the ancestral hall, fortunately, the fire was promptly controlled, and the impact on the ancestral hall was
minimal. Furthermore, the damaged areas had already been renovated.
Lachlan then approached the altar, looked mellowly at the altar, and proceeded to close his eyes.
Throughout the whole process, Charlotte stood by her father's side while quietly watching Lachlan. She
had a deep-rooted fear of Lachlan. Although she had gradually gotten used to his presence during their
time together, Joseph's words had elevated her fear of him to another level.
However, this time, she wasn't afraid of what he would do to her, but she was afraid that he might harm
her grandfather and father. It was a peculiar feeling. After Lachlan offered the incense, Philip spoke up
as soon as he turned around. "I know you are against this arranged marriage with Charlotte. It's good
that it's dissolved now, so you won't be held back by her." Hearing that, Lachlan glanced at Charlotte,
who immediately lowered her head and hugged Charles' arm.
He said, "Charlotte is still a young girl. This marriage was never fair to her from the beginning." By
saying this, he had shifted the responsibility onto himself and Kian, which prevented Philip from being
embarrassed.
As Philip listened to him speak, his initially stern expression softened a bit, and he politely said,
"Charlotte was the one who didn't appreciate your grandfather's good intentions."
"Be rest assured that no matter what happens within the Woodley Family, there will always be a place
for you." Lachlan looked at him without beating around the bush. After speaking, Lachlan nodded
slightly in acknowledgment and then left directly. Following that, Philip's expression turned gloomy, and
he let out a silent sigh.
Noticing that, Charlotte stepped forward and supported him before asking, "Grandpa, what did he
mean by what he just said?"
"He meant that no matter how he shakes up the Woodley Family, as long as I am here, he won't harm
our family," Philip replied.
"Isn't that a good thing, Grandpa? Why..." Charlotte paused and asked.
Upon hearing that, Charles interjected, "But once your grandpa is no longer here, his promise won't
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhold any weight."
"Grandpa will live a long life! He'll live to be 100, so why worry about those things?" Charlotte affirmed.
Only then did Philip smile and pat Charlotte's hand. "Girl, I'm already ninety-eight years old this year.
Does it mean that I only have two more years to leave?"
Hearing that, Charlotte realized her mistake and blurted, "I'll take it back, I'll take it back! Grandpa will
live to be 200!"
"Alright, alright. Like how you said, Grandpa will live to be 200." Philip chuckled. Charles, who was
standing next to them, couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he looked at her before saying,
"Let's go."
As soon as Lachlan stepped out of the ancestral hall, Waylen approached him. "I saw Grandpa and the
others inside. Are you guys discussing your marriage with Charlotte?" Hearing that, Lachlan gave him
a disdainful glance, and Waylen immediately put on a serious demeanor before saying, "Alright, alright,
I won't ask."
"How's the treatment going?" Lachlan asked calmly.
"At this stage, it's not having a significant effect anymore. I can only say that it's much better than
before," Waylen paused and continued, "But..."
"But what?"
"I've spoken to Leanna and told her that umbilical cord blood might be a solution. I've prescribed some
medicine for her, and she's undergoing treatment," Waylen said.
"I'm not Aidan, so why are you telling me all this?" Lachlan looked at him and asked.
"That's because Leanna didn't let me tell Aidan. But I felt suffocated, and you know, I don't like taking
responsibility. Between you and Aidan, there has to be someone to take the blame for me," Waylen
replied.
Lachlan was speechless after hearing that. "Go back if there's nothing else!" he snapped.
