Capítulo 137: The Astrologer's Gift

"Watson, are you serious?"

Peter looked at Watson and saw the sincerity in his brother's eyes. There was not the slightest hint of deception.

His lips moved. He raised his hand with difficulty and pushed the Phoenix egg in Watson's hand away from him.

"Watson, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take that Phoenix egg. Our family must have spent a fortune to get it. I know that the food given to me was precious as well. You guys have taken excellent care of me; I cannot ask for more."

Peter knew that his family was poor; they might not even get to eat a full meal in a week. His parents had endured hunger just to take care of him; they would always give him half of their food so that he could eat more to improve his health. 

He knew that he had been eating better food; that meant his family must have been frugal.

"Fifth Brother, you have misunderstood. Our family's condition is different now." Watson scratched his head.
