Chapter: 4969
Leaf Chen saw Itoh Yohji kneeling on the ground, crying and speaking, with that distorted face smeared with green mud. It no longer felt like a wild monkey from the forest, but rather like a large, proud ape just emerging from the earth. The old man's bare bottom was also somewhat unappealing to look at.
So Leaf Chen didn't want to approach him to help and slightly rebuked the nearby butler: "Hurry up and get Itoh-sensei a bath towel! He's this old, yet he's kneeling on the ground like that, it's what?"
The butler snapped back to reality, quickly pulling out a bath towel and rushing over to wrap it around Itoh Yohji's waist.
Itoh Yohji was already crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face as he looked at Leaf Chen and choked out: "Mr. Leaf... You are like my reborn parents... From now on... No matter what you ask me to do, I will not hesitate, even if you tell me to jump out of this window! Being able to die with dignity as a normal person is better than living in a wheelchair for the rest of one's life!"
Leaf Chen shook his head helplessly and opened his mouth: "I brought you all the way here and sent you that precious medicine, not just so I can watch you jump out of this window and kill yourself. It's so that Mina-chan won't worry about you anymore in the future. So from now on, you must pick yourself up and stop being half-dead, and don't let Mina-chan worry about you again. Do you understand?"
Itoh Yohji suddenly understood, blurting out: "I understand, Mr. Leaf! Thank you for loving Mina-chan so much! From today onwards, I will definitely not let Mina-chan worry about me at all!"
So Leaf Chen nodded slightly, saying: "Okay, hurry up and get him to take a bath, and make sure his face is squeaky clean. Then put on the sports uniform we prepared for him, and Mina-chan is waiting outside."
Itoh Yohji wanted to bow again, but just bent down, and the bath towel wrapped around his waist suddenly came undone. The nearby butler quickly rushed over to help him wrap it back up, and Leaf Chen couldn't help but say: "Stop with the formalities already. I'm only helping you for Mina-chan's sake."
Itoh Yohji sniffled and nodded heavily, then suddenly thought of something else and asked: "Mr. Leaf, may I ask you something..."
Leaf Chen nodded: "Go ahead."
Itoh Yohji asked respectfully: "Mr. Leaf, I want to know... how is Tanaka now? Did you give him the medicine too?"
Leaf Chen nodded: "I've already given it to him, but he took it a few minutes later than you. He should be waking up about now."
Itoh Yohji let out a sigh and choked back tears: "My life was saved by Tanaka's bravery. If not for him, I would have been killed by the Matsumoto family people long ago. Now that he can recover as usual, I've finally fulfilled my heart's wish..."
He looked at Leaf Chen, his eyes filled with hot tears, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Leaf!"
Leaf Chen smiled slightly and spoke calmly: "There's no need to thank me for this. I'm only helping you because of Mina-chan. I helped Tanaka too, purely out of appreciation for his loyalty as a loyal servant to the Itoh family."
Itoh Yohji actually understands that Lord Leaf Chen doesn't necessarily look up to him in his heart.
After all, when Lord Leaf Chen first came to Japan, he and I had already clashed, and even at the time, my attitude was quite arrogant, thinking that this young man from Hua Xia should bow down before me.
But later, after he taught me how to be a person, I realized just how terrible this young man can be.
Lord Leaf Chen only showed me kindness and even helped me out because of Mina-chan. So, at this moment, Itoh Yohji's mind is filled with nothing but one thought: How did my life turn out so well?
I'm not saying it's because Lord Leaf Chen helped me that I feel my life is good; rather, I'm lamenting that my life turned out well thanks to having Mina-chan as a daughter.
If it weren't for Mina-chan, I probably would be lying in bed with multiple limbs amputated and relying on various drips and nutrients just to stay alive.
It's because of Mina-chan that Lord Leaf Chen helped me recover after my amputation, allowing me to live a normal life as a disabled person.
And now, thanks to Lord Leaf Chen using his magic medicine, I can regrow the two legs he cut off, making me a healthy and whole person once again.
The only thing that still keeps him worried is his daughter Mina's lifelong affair.
If I could personally entrust my daughter to Leaf Chen's hands, then my life would really be complete. JrNovels.com
