Chapter 497 Don't Need Your Permission

Avery, after speaking her mind, casually swatted Daniel with the hanger again.

"You're a scoundrel. If you spout more nonsense, I'll beat you to death!"

"Mom, I was not spouting nonsense. I just wanted to gauge the recovery of Grandpa’s health. Withan accurate assessment, I can develop a treatment plan for his recovery," Daniel explained.

Professor John, still eager to assert his role in the situation, interjected. "Kind, lie back down, and I'llperform a full-body examination on you. Despite my special medicine having revived you, we mustbe cautious and should do a comprehensive check to ensure your well-being."

Kind scoffed back at him coldly, "Professor John, your so-called special drug almost sent mepacking to the afterlife! If Daniel hadn't stepped in on time and stuck me with those seven needles,pulling me back from the gates of hell, I would be checking in with Lucifer right now."

"Kind, it was really my special drug that saved you, not this country boy!"

"Get out! Now! Or else, I won’t be polite!"

Although Kind was approaching his eightieth birthday, his mind was clear, and he clearlyremembered everything that had happened. He knew it was Daniel who had saved him, notProfessor John.

The professor walked away disheartened, and Down slipped out with him. Well aware of Kind's fierytemper, Down wanted no part of a scolding.

Meanwhile, Daniel had already jotted down a treatment plan.

"Mom, take this. Just get the medicine prescribed here for Grandpa. One course of treatment, justthree days, and his health will be as if he were fifty again."

"Don't call me 'mom'! I'm not your mother! And he's not your grandpa either, you shameless thing!"

Despite her words, Avery took the treatment plan Daniel handed her.

Kind turned to Daniel, "What did you just call me, boy?"

"Grandpa! Since you're Jessica’s grandpa and I'm her husband, naturally I should call you Grandpatoo!"

"You brat, I haven't agreed to marry Jessica off to you just yet. Calling me Grandpa is premature."

"Grandpa, you need to understand the situation. It's Jessica who wants to marry me, not you. Aslong as Jessica agrees, we don't need your permission!"

"Jessica is my granddaughter. Without my approval, she can't marry you. If you want to marry intomy family, it won't be easy."

Kind's statement gave Daniel a whiff of opportunity. It seemed the old man wasn't entirely opposedto the idea of Daniel marrying his granddaughter. Seizing the chance, Daniel cheerily inquired,"Grandpa, what should I do to marry Jessica then?"

"At my birthday banquet, I’ll hold a contest for Jessica's hand. Normally, you wouldn't have stood achance, but considering you saved my life, I’ll give you an opportunity to compete with the youngmasters from other prominent families.”

"Does that mean we're going to compete in martial arts?"

"Martial arts? You must understand that it's not just fighting skills that will be assessed. As Jessica'sguardian, I'll evaluate candidates in all aspects through comprehensive testing."
