Chapter 56 Trouble With Lincoln
Hence, Emrys resignedly told Caylie that Patrick likely didn’t have the guts to offend him because he used Needle of Ninth Revival during the Eastfield Auctions.
Boy, the man was stunned by my skills then.
As for Christian, he was afraid of Emrys because he personally witnessed the incident at Cordelia Group. Also, Caylie learned about it from Cordelia.
After listening to his explanation, Caylie finally understood what transpired and thought everything made sense.
Emrys intentionally hid his identity as Empyrean Lord from her because he didn’t think she would believe him even if he told her.
After all, when he told Cordelia the same thing, she didn’t believe him.
Thus, he assumed Caylie wouldn’t, too.
It was the same as no one would believe a friend who claimed to be the world’s richest man after disappearing for fifteen years unless they saw their friend’s balance in a bank account.
Emrys‘ identity was even harder to explain. Although Cordelia and the others had heard of the title Empyrean Lord before, they wouldn’t understand what it meant even if he had the identification documents as proof of his identity.
It was then Caylie suddenly recalled something. “Oh yeah. How come you seem fine after drinking so much liquor?“.
“Now that you mentioned it, I am feeling a little drunk.” Emrys tried to act like an average person and staggered into her embrace.
She quickly hailed a taxi and brought him to Apricot Hall thinking that he was telling the truth.
Even though the road was bumpy, Emrys didn’t feel awful. It’s so nice to have Caylie around.
When they arrived at Apricot Hall, he saw the shopfront on the opposite side was undergoing
renovation.
That shopfront used to be a bakery in the past, but the previous owners moved away because it was recently bought by a new proprietor.
The next day, the identity of the new owner was revealed.
Lincoln stepped into Apricot Hall with a smirk. “It’s been a while, Ms. White.”
Frowning, Caylie spat, “What you doing here, murderer?”

“Murderer?” He was stunned because he wasn’t aware that the girl from two days ago almost died. In fact, he still thought the medicine he prescribed was fine.
Hence, he didn’t mind her calling him a murderer because he didn’t understand why. He just thought she was exaggerating.
“Don’t misunderstand anything, Ms. White. I’m not here to ask you to take me back. I’m just here to tell you my clinic is on the opposite side.” Lincoln smirked.
“What?” Caylie’s expression darkened. “Why did you do that?”
“No one said I can’t. Besides, we all rely on our abilities to make a living, so we’ll see who’s more capable. Do you have a problem with that?”
Her expression had turned extremely grim. Ability? You’re clearly relying on your identity as the apprentice of a famous doctor to bully me!
However, that wasn’t the worst part.
Lincoln continued, “I wonder how my peers under the same teacher are doing. I can’t wait to meet them again in two days!”
Then he left Apricot Hall with a cackle.
Caylie’s b*dy trembled in anger. Does he mean he’ll invite his peers who also studied under Duncan to help him on his clinic’s opening day? This is bad. Any one of Duncan’s apprentices has incredible medical skills on their own. If all of them are gathered in one place, it’ll no doubt become the talk of the town. There’s a good chance that his clinic’s opening day will also be Apricot Hall’s closing day.
