“I had just finished reporting back to the military base, so I decided to drop by.” Gavin Killian smiled. “Greetings, Mr. Killian.” Dahlia tried to stand up.
“No need for formalities.” Gavin placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her seated. “You need to rest, Ms. Nicholson. You’re hurt.” “It’s nothing.” Dahlia smiled.
“And this is?” Dustin looked at Gavin, puzzled. He could tell from the badge on Gavin’s arm that he was a major general. For someone to be a general in his thirties, he must either be from an influential family or be incredibly talented.
“This is Mr. Killian. He was the one who saved me this morning,” Dahlia introduced. This morning’s incident was still fresh in her mind. Without Gavin’s help, she’d be dead by now.
“I see Thank you, Mr. Killian.” Dustin thanked. “It was nothing,” Gavin answered with a smile. “And you are?”
“Oh, he’s my friend, Dustin Rhys.” Dahlia blurted. “Friend?” Dustin frowned, unhappy with her answer. Still, he regained his composure after a few seconds.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Rhys. I’m Gavin Killian.” Gavin extended a hand. Although his expression looked kind, his eyes showed an a rrogant glint.
“Nice to meet you.” Dustin shook Gavin’s hand knowingly.
Killian wasn’t a common surname. He ran into Miranda Killian two days ago, and now, he was meeting another Killian, so he couldn’t help but wonder if the two were related.
“Ms. Nicholson, I heard that you urgently need a Panax root. Is that true?” Gavin suddenly switched the topic.
Dahlia nodded. “That’s right. My grandfather is si ck, and we need a Panax root to make his medicine. Unfortunately, finding one is quite hard, so I doubt I’ll get my hands on one soon.”
“You don’t have to search anymore, Ms. Nicholson. I happened to have a 300-year-old Panax root. If you’d like, you can have it.” Gavin’s words shocked them.
“What? You’re giving it to me?” Dahlia was taken aback. She didn’t expect him to have a Panax root and for him to gift it to her so casually.
“Are you serious, Mr. Killian? Are you going to give us a Panax root?” Julie asked with disbelief in her eyes.
“Of course. I always keep my word.” Gavin puffed out his chest.
“Gosh, thank you so much!” Julie was overjoyed.
“You’re such a kind man, Mr. Killian!” Florence and Victoria were happy as well.
Just moments ago, they were thinking hard, trying to find a way to obtain a Panax root. They never thought they’d get one so soon.
Unlike Dustin, who was stubborn and stingy, Gavin seemed much more generous and honorable.
