The next second, Hubert slowly opened his eyes and even sat upright in front of everyone.
"Wow!"
Everyone at the scene inhaled sharply at the sight. Although they wished Hubert a speedy recovery, this was simply too fast for them to comprehend, and they couldn't help but think that they were looking at a zombie!
"Dad…" Stanley gulped as he approached him slowly. "Dad, are you okay?"
Hubert widened his eyes and glared at his son. "Of course, I am!"
There was still dried blood staining his face, but his eyes were shining brightly with life. Frankly, he looked absolutely bizarre and frightening, sending a shiver down Stanley's spine.
Even his own son was freaked out by this bizarre sight, not to mention the rest of the Keans; almost all of them had goosebumps when they finally laid their eyes on Hubert.
The flabbergasted look on everyone's faces made Hubert chuckle. "What's wrong? Are you scared and wondering whether I'm a zombie?"
Everyone waved their hands in denial. "No! Nothing of the sort! You'll live a long life, Old Master!"
Although that was what they claimed, in their hearts, they were nodding and thought that he really did look like a zombie.
Hubert snorted derisively as he beckoned to Andrew. "Come here, Andrew."
"Yes… Grandpa." Andrew snapped back to his senses as he trotted to Hubert's bedside.
"On your knees!" Hubert pointed at Stanley as he roared, "And you, too! Both of you, on your knees!"
"Dad…"
As Kingsley had a front-row seat as to how swiftly Hubert could switch from anger to friendliness, he couldn't help but think: it looks like the speed at which they change their faces in the Kean Family is an inherited trait. Nonetheless, he quickly cast aside the opinion in his mind as he demurred politely, "You're welcome, Old Mr. Kean. It was no trouble at all."
"Oh, no! I have to thank you." Hubert shoved the sheets off his body as he got out of bed. "Come with me to the study."
Everyone, including Stanley and Andrew, was rendered speechless, and their jaws almost fell off their faces from shock because Hubert could actually get out of bed and walk by himself!
Hubert ignored their incredulous gazes with practiced ease as he led Kingsley to the study. Once he was certain that Kingsley had made himself comfortable, he puttered about and finally found an old book.
Then, he slowly flipped the pages and found an old, yellowed paper sandwiched within. "Here, this is for you. Take it as my thank-you gift for saving me from the Gates of Hell."
"This is…" A confused Kingsley stared at the paper. When his eyes finally focused on the contents of the aging paper, he saw big words written in cursive, 'Carson Todd's Promise.'
