Chapter 327: Are You Ryan?
Nora, who was still in the car, rolled the car window down after she saw Old Maddy. Thus, even though his whisper was very soft, she had still heard it.
‘Yvette’?
… Yvette Anderson?!
To think he knew her mother!
The thought made Nora slam on the brakes. She jumped off the car, went up to Old Maddy, and grabbed his hand. “Do you know my mother?” she asked.
The old man looked at her in bewilderment. There was a lost and confused look in his eyes.
Nora frowned and reminded him, “Yvette Anderson.”
When Old Maddy heard the name, he immediately shouted excitedly, “Yvette!”
Nora: “!!”
As expected, he did know who Yvette was.
Nora asked the security guard at the door to park the car for her. Then, she held Old Maddy’s arm and said, “Where do you live? I’ll take you back there.”
Old Maddy grinned and nodded. “Will you give me hamburgers?”
“Yes.”
“Okay!”
Old Maddy followed behind Nora, and the two went to his place of residence.
It was already dark by then, and the whole manor looked as if the sky had been covered with a black veil. For once, it wasn’t foggy, and a few stars twinkled in the sky.
In a big city where lights shone so brightly, it was very hard for stars to be seen.
However, there weren’t many living nearby the large manor. The lights in the few simple houses around it were also switched off at the moment, so one’s field of vision stretched even further than usual.
Old Maddy led the way. He walked to a house at the furthest corner, opened the door, and switched on the lights. Only then did Nora’s eyes feel a little better.
She looked around Old Maddy’s house.
Unlike Old Maddy himself, the place was neat and clean. From the looks of it, it seemed that the butler’s claim that the Smiths weren’t abusing him was true.
Old Maddy had burns all over him, so he disliked taking baths, which made him seem very dirty. However, the sheets were changed frequently, so they were very clean. Neither was there any smell in the house.
After Nora looked around, Old Maddy sneakily took out a hamburger from the fridge and gave it to her. He said, “Eat this, Yvette…”
‘Yvette’ again…
Nora frowned and looked down at the hamburger in her hand.
While she was lost in thought, Old Maddy looked at the door warily and said, “Don’t be scared! You won’t die of hunger!”
Nora: “…”
She frowned, looked at the hamburger in her hand, and asked, “Where are we?”
“At home, of course!”
‘At home’…
Why would they go hungry if they were at home?!
Just what kind of relationship did Old Maddy and Yvette share? Judging from his behavior, he seemed very protective of Yvette…
While she was wondering about it, Old Maddy grinned and asked, “Did you bear Ian a child, Yvette?”
Nora: “?”
Old Maddy behaved erratically, and he spoke incoherently. He said, “Ian has a daughter now!”
Nora frowned.
She suddenly stood up and asked, “Are you Ryan Smith?”
She’d had that feeling since the day before.
The lunatic in front of her was likely Ryan!
He was the president of the pugilistic world, so he had gone to the arena. Otherwise, simply based on the fact that he was mentally ill, why would he possibly go all the way to the martial arts tournament?
Old Maddy was a little taken aback when he heard the name Ryan Smith, but right after that, he curled his lips disdainfully and said, “Ryan is ugly. He’s not as good-looking as Ian. Don’t be with Ryan, Yvette. Besides, Ryan’s IQ isn’t high, either. If you have a baby with him, it’ll affect your daughter’s IQ!”
Nora: “…”
She was confused again.
If Old Maddy was Ryan, why would he say that he was ugly?
Moreover, he went on and on about genes, IQ, and the like, and even knew that a daughter inherited part of her IQ from her father. Was he really someone from a small town in the mountains?
Nora frowned and looked around again. However, she didn’t see any substantial clues.
After all, according to the butler, when Old Maddy first came to the Smiths, he had nothing but the ragged clothes on his back.
Somewhat disappointed, she stood up and said, “I’m going now.”
Old Maddy nodded.
After Nora left, Old Maddy kept feeling as though he had forgotten something, but his mind moved too slowly, and he simply couldn’t recall what it was. Thus, he merely grinned and continued to eat the hamburger he was holding.
While he was eating, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Nora pushed the door open and stood at the door. As though she had made up her mind, she slowly said “Old Maddy, why don’t I treat your illness for you?”
