The Replacement He Never Wanted

Chapter 467 Connected the Dots

Mike pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, confused. Thiswasn'tright. Addison wasjust a stand-in. Howcouldshehaveanyemotionaltieswith Lance? If there were noemotionsinvolved, thentherecouldn'tbeanyrekindledfeelingseither. Feeling frustrated, Mike pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Just as he was about to light one, he looked up and saw an elderly man who seemed somewhat familiar. The old man wore loose, plain clothes and had a tuft of white beard. Despite his low-key appearance, he had a presence that made him stand out in the crowd. Thisguylooksfamiliar. Could he betheDivineHealer? Mike quickly put the cigarette pack back into his pocket and hurriedly straightened his collar in the car window before approaching the old man. "Hello, are you the Divine Healer?" Matthew turned at the sound of Mike's voice and glanced at him.Mike had just rushed out of the courtroom, so he was still in his sharp business attire, wearing a navy blue shirt with a gold-speckled tie. His face was fair and clean, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, looking very refined and sophisticated. Matthew raised an eyebrow and stroked his beard. Addysaidshewouldcometotheairportwith Lance. Couldthisbe Lance? He scrutinized Mike from head to toe, his eyes as piercing as security scanners checking for contraband. Mike stood stiffly, not daring to move. Matthew remembered Leon had told him that Lance was cold and unapproachable, never caring about others. But the man in front of him didn't match that description in terms of appearance or demeanor. Matthew thought this man looked refined and gentle, not like someone who wouldn't care about his wife. "Are you the Divine Healer?" Mike asked cautiously after being scrutinized for a long time. "Yes."Matthew nodded, then cleared his throat. "Where's Addy? Why haven't I seen her?" Mike looked too refined for Matthew to scold him harshly. Mike was taken aback, not understanding who Matthew was referring to. But seeing Matthew's serious expression, he realized that Addison must be someone very important. He had no choice but to ask, "Sorry, what did you just say? I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it?" He doubted his hearing, thinking Matthew must have been asking about Lance. Matthew stroked his beard, thinking Mike must be hard of hearing at such a young age, and sighed inwardly. Whenyougetold, willyou not evenbeabletohearAddy? "I was asking where Addison is. She said she would come to pick me up with Lance. Why haven't I seen her?" To accommodate Mike's ears, Matthew reluctantly raised his voice. This time Mike heard clearly that Matthew was indeed asking about Addison.Mike kept smiling, his mind racing as he connected the dots between Addison and coming to pick up the Divine Healer.
