Edward Harper was slightly taken aback when he saw his uncle upon entering.
Since Julian Harper was brought out, the old master sent him for treatment. This was the first time seeing him at home.
Julian Harper looked much healthier than before, although he was thinner, which made his facial features appear more defined.
No matter how much resentment there was between uncle and nephew in private, they had to act amicably in front of the old master, even if they were just pretending.
"Edward, you're back?"
Edward Harper, while changing his shoes, responded,
"How has the treatment been these past few days?"
"Pretty good; otherwise, your grandpa wouldn't have agreed for me to come home from the hospital."
Edward Harper nodded,
"That's good. Being home means grandpa can look after you as well."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and the old master cut a plate of fruit to serve as Julian Harper's welcome home gift, which made him happy.
"Having dumplings for dinner?"
