444 An Old Friend’s Arrival


    A man walked in right after yelling out.


    His slender build, well-cut suit, and leather shoes caught everyone’s attention. He had a kind and handsome expression that gave off an impression of springtime.


    The man walked straight to Athena, raised the pink roses in his hand, and looked at her with a gentle gaze. He then asked, “May I have the pleasure of being your suitor, Ms. Gilligan?”


    Athena’s curly eyshes fluttered gently as she looked at the person in front of her.


    Although his face was a little unfamiliar to her, she had the inexplicable feeling that he was her old friend.


    Everyone else snapped back to their senses as well and could not help but stare at the man.


    As Irene looked at the man, her anger dissipated gradually and was eventually reced by joy and excitement. She couldn’t help but say, “You...you’re Dr. Abel Sherwood’s younger brother, that genius young doctor Dr. n Sherwood, also known as Little St. John?”


    n and Abel looked just like each other and Irene has always had a good rtionship with the Sherwoods. Although she had not seen n in person in recent years, she came across many of his photos in newspapers and on the inte, hence her question.


    n looked at Irene and nodded politely. “Hello, Madam. Yes, I’m n Sherwood.”


    It was him!


    Irene was overwhelmed with joy.


    The Sherwoods had a long history in medicine and were held in high regard among the upper-ss circle. Their family was very upright, and n was the most prominent young man in the present generation. Despite his young age, he was already the architect of several medical miracles and almost certainly had a bright future ahead of him!


    That was exactly the kind of man who was worthy of Athena.


    Fabian could never be on the same level as n!


    Irene stepped forward and replied enthusiastically on Athena’s behalf, “We most certainly would wee you as a suitor, Mr. Sherwood!”


    After saying that, Irene nudged Athena and whispered in her ear. “Take the flowers, Athena.”


    Athena stretched out her hand and took the bunch of flowers, “Thank you.”


    She looked down at the pink flowers and a scene shed in her mind. It was the scene of a man holding flowers and giving them to a woman.


    The man was n, and the woman...was herself.


    Samantha’s pupils contracted slightly.


    She had never been able to remember even the tiniest fragment of her past, but as soon as n appeared in front of her, she began to recall a tiny piece of her memories.


    It was amazing...


    Perhaps he was not just an old friend. He might even be the man she likes, as she initially believed it to be.


    Fabian’s face soured instantly as he looked at the man who showed up and ruined his n.


    Few elite families in Axlend would dare to go against him, so it never crossed his mind that anyone else would dare to show up that day!


    However, the Sherwoods lived in Elmstedt and were beyond the reach of the Garveys even if thetter wielded near-absolute influence in Axlend


    .


    Fabian’s main purpose that day was to regain his dignity, so he could not let n show up to disrupt the situation. Even if the Sherwoods were highly-respected figures in the medical world, Axlend was still the Garveys’ territory!


    No one could stop him!


    Besides, he viewed n as nothing more than a weak pretty boy.


    Fabian sneered. “Do you think a mere doctor like you can be a hero to save the damsel in distress? I made it clear that no other suitor is allowed toe here. Showing up here amounts to disrespecting the Garveys!”


    He nced sullenly at n’s face and threatened, “I can pretend that nothing happened if you leave now. if you don’t do what’s good for you, then I’ll send you out of here on a stretcher!”


    He spoke in an extremely arrogant tone.


    His eight bodyguards then red at n in sync, as if they were prepared to act if he so much as dared to resist!


    A touch of anger appeared on Horace’s usually indifferent and expressionless face. However, he held himself back and raised his eyes to observe how n would deal with it.


    If n was a coward who fled at the slightest indication of fear, he would not be worthy of Athena.


    Augustine and Samson thought the same and did nothing even though they were angry.


    n turned around and faced the eight big men.


    He was about to speak when another man’s voice came from the door again. “I’m here as a suitor.”
