Expert Down The Mountain by Summer

Chapter 16
Korah and Wade were in shock and disbelief when they saw Cyrus standing under the spotlight on the stage beside Zedekiah.
Lufian’s eyes were wide as he watched Cyrus walk across the stage. He could not believe what he was seeing
Zedekiah was important, and it was practically impossible to meet someone like him, let alone be able to stand beside him.
Cyrus felt resigned. He truly did not like to be in the spotlight. Mr. Frank once told him that keeping a low profile was the kingly
way. If Zedekiah had not helped Gardner Corporation with its wish to have the International Prosperous Project, he would never
have agreed to this. “Cyrus, is there something you want to say?” Zedekiah asked with a smile.
Cyrus shook his head, looking uninterested.
Zedekiah was a wise man. He naturally noticed Cyrus’ demeanor and laughed cheerfully.” Since Cyrus has nothing to say, I have
something to say...” After some polite remarks, he asked the waiters to start serving delicious food for the audience to enjoy.
Everyone thought Zedekiah would continue his speech. They laughed a little as they thought to themselves, ‘This young man is
not getting much attention. Mr. Gardner probably only mentioned him once for Truman’s sake.’
They naturally knew that Zedekiah came to Fliton City to get Truman to treat him. This young man was probably Truman’s
successor or his student. ‘It’s natural that Truman is paving this young man’s path using Mr. Gardner’s fame.’ Cyrus excused
himself and got off the stage. When he found Truman, he said to him in a low voice, “Mr. Truman, just say that you saved Mr.
Penn and it has nothing to do with me. Try not to get me involved in this. “I won’t be staying in Fliton City for too long. I’ll be
heading back to my village in three months or at most six months’ time. My master likes peace and quiet. If many people find out
and come to me for treatment, my master will definitely yell at me.”
Truman was shocked. ‘Cyrus’ master... must be a great master that lives in seclusion!’
“You’re only staying here temporarily...? Aren’t you marrying Mr. Gardner’s granddaughter?” Truman could not help but ask. “I’m
not.” Cyrus shook his head. ‘Please don’t say that!’ Thump thump! Thump thump! Truman could not help but raise his eyebrows
as his heartbeat increased. ‘I was there when
Mr. Gardner told Korah and Cyrus to register their marriage. ‘I thought they already tied the knot. Turns out... they haven’t?!
“This is good news!
“Of course, no worries! I’ll handle Mr. Penn.” Truman tried to suppress his happiness as he replied with a stern face. Cyrus
smiled. “Thank you, Dr. Cohen!” At this moment, Alda came over, blushing, and looked at Cyrus with hope. “Cyrus, I heard that
there is a beautiful sea of lights in this manor. Will you come with me to see it?” Cyrus thought about it and agreed, since he was
free.
“Sure.”
Truman felt happy when he saw how close the two of them were becoming.
“You two go ahead. I’ll go and find Mr. Penn.”

Alda said playfully, “Grandpa, bye-bye!” After they went off, Truman lamented, “Girls really just forget their own families when
they meet someone they love...”.
He got ready and was about to look for Redmond in the private room. However, when he was about to leave, someone behind
him called out his name.
“Dr. Cohen, wait!”
Truman was slightly stunned. He turned to see who it was.
‘Huh? Isn’t that the Gardner family?’
Lufian ran to Truman. He panted a lîttle as he looked around before asking hurriedly,” Where’s Cyrus?”
Truman thought for a moment and said, “He has something to do, so he left first.”
Korah asked, “Did you bring Cyrus here?” Truman thought to himself, ‘It looks like Lufian and the rest of the family don’t seem to
know that Cyrus had helped Gardner Corporation.
‘Should I tell them?’
Truman decided not to tell them!
There was no other reason for it. He wanted Alda and Cyrus to be together. Since Korah was not married to Cyrus, he must do
everything it took to make sure that Cyrus did not become a part of the Gardner family.
“Well, Cyrus helped me when Mr. Penn came for treatment. So, I introduced him to Mr. Penn.”
‘I see...’
Wade looked at Korah as he let out a sigh of relief.
