Chapter 1006:
He sighed deeply. “How's your health these days?”
“You knowbetter than anyone,” Corrine said, resting her head on his shoulder. “You sent Jules andto the
military to make us tougher, remember? I'm as strong as ever. No need to worry.”
“I heard from Jules you got a bottle of medicine,” Carl said, his gaze heavy with meaning.
Corrine nodded and briefly mentioned sfacts, keeping quiet about Jacob's ties with Jonathan.
“Jonathan Martel?” Carl raised an eyebrow and looked at Jules. “Why have | never heard of him before?”
Under Carl's piercing stare, Jules immediately sat up straighter and spoke seriously. “He always keeps a low
profile and is hard to track down. His business has always been in Lyhaton. Lately, though, it seems like he's

Carl gave a slight nod.
Once Corrine had left, Carl slowly got to his feet with the help of his cane, letting out a soft sigh.
“In the end, | couldn't stop her. Maybe it was meant to be,” he muttered.
It sounded like Carl was resigned to the situation. It was as if he were talking to Leland beside him, or maybe just
talking to himself. Leland responded, “Don’t worry too much about the young people. | believe Kiley up in heaven
will surely watch over Corrine.”
