Unfortunately, perhaps because god was jealous of the talented, there was an assassination attempt on Yale Radd's and his wife Maya Radd's life only a month after Danny was born. A few days before that, Maya Radd also saved the life of Rose Family's daughter. After this rescue, Yale and Maya Radd were nowhere to be found it was like they were wiped from the face of the Profound Stillwater continent. John's hair became white overnight due to the heavy blow of losing his son and daugther -in-law. Nine months later, Morgan Radd was born. John's wife also suffered from the tortured pain of losing her only son and died of depression a month later.
Nobody knew how John lived his life the years after both his son and wife passed away. His pale white hair contained immeasurable grief, hatred and a deep unspeakable sorrow.
To this day, John still had not found his son's and Daughter in laws where about.
Later on, he put all his hopes and wishes onto Danny Radd… But the brutal truth of him being born with damaged profound Ki veins entered and left his life out of the blue like a bolt of lightning. It was like kick the man when he is down.
However, facing his hopeless grandson, Danny Radd never showed any signs of disappointment nor fury. In his point of view, being born with broken profound Ki veins meant that fate had been unfair and that he should not be condemned because of such injustice. He should not be indifferent or ridicule Danny Radd but instead should love him more to compensate for it. Over the years, he had always been seeking any possible ways to repair damaged profound Ki veins. However, profound Ki veins were the lifeline of one's profound Ki strength, how can it be so easily repaired?
Although Danny was ignored by others and was faced with the mocking eyes of others while growing up, he still felt lucky to have such a grandfather.
Looking at John's piercing white hair, Danny's eyes gradually sharpened… Since the gods gave me this second chance and let me have both my memories, even if it is to only comfort my grandfather, I have to live vigorously! So what if my profound Ki veins are broken! I am Blasphemous Mad Chemist; as long as I find the right medicine, in a short span of three weeks, I could fully restore my profound Ki veins back to normal.
"You're alright, that's wonderful to hear." Watching him,John Radd was finally rest assured. Glancing at the brightening sky he spoke, "Danny, the hour is nigh. Go make your preparations while I go arrange the wedding team… Oh right, do you want to ride horseback or sit in the carriage?"
If he was yesterday's Danny he would definitely have answered "the carriage". Although he was the only grandson of the Radd Family's Head, without that status, he could be called a good-for-nothing with a world's difference between him and Emma Ross. On his bridal path to the Ross Family's, there was no doubt that he would suffer countless finger pointing and also bear numerous glances of envy and regret. One could imagine what feelings would surface if one met face to face in front of such negative emotion. Dannny laughed with a slight smile, "Of course I'm riding on the horse! You do not have to worry about me grandfather.Emma ross may be nobility, but she is already fated to be our Radd family's daughter-in-law. I will openly wed her home with dignity and honor to not let you lose face."
There was a delay in John's expression, for he would never have thought that his grandson would say such a thing. His face then broke into a gentle smile and he slowly nodded, "Good."
With just one word, his deep satisfaction came through. John stepped out of the room and gently closed the door.
As soon as John left, Morgan stood in front of Danny and curled her lips. Her face warped in unhappiness she spoke, "So you actually are excited for this marriage and made me worry for you in vain. You obviously have not met Emma Ross that many times but you are already fond of her… Oh right, she is our Floating Stone City's number one beauty, huh!"
Danny quickly waved his hands back and forth, "How's that possible! Emma Ross is quite beautiful but I think Little Cousin is prettier. If I really fainted because of her, then I would not know how many times I would have fainted in this lifetime because Little Cousin always accompanies me everyday."
"Hehe…" Morgan's face immediately broke into a sweet smile as she giggled, "You know just the thing to say to make me happy. It's fine if Danny fainted in his rush to marry her because Emma Ross is beautiful as she is talented. Ross Family is also the wealthiest clan in Floating Stone City so there is quite a lot of people who dream of marrying her. However, in the end, she is going to marry my family's Danny Radd."
At this point, Morgan wore a proud look on her face. Then her eyes became wistful as her voice gentled, "I feel like this day came so quickly… Little Che is already about to be married…"
"Pound-pound," a knock on the door was followed by the voice of old housekeeper Henry, "Young master, it is almost time to go and meet your bride."
"Ah…. already?" Morgan glanced at Danny's clothes and suddenly looked anxious, "Uncle Henry, wait a little while longer and we will come out right away."
She walked in front of Danny and a pair of soft hands began to quickly tidy his wedding Tux, "This outfit is quite hard to put on. Your clothes are in a mess because of the events earlier. Stand still, I will finish this right away."
A pair of snow-white delicate hands began to work hurriedly. She flipped his collar back to the proper position and re-fastened his loose belt… Her actions were jerky but she took it seriously and paid careful attention to what she did.Danny silently looked at her and his eyes gradually became misty….
Today he was going to marry Emma Ross but he knew for sure that Emma Ross was not marrying him because she sincerely loved him. If it weren't for their Mothers; Maya Radd and Gina Ross agreement that March, Emma Rose would not even have bothered to take a glance in his direction. The only people in this world who were kind to Danny were his grandfather, John and his little Cousin, Morgan.
During his earliest childhood, Morgan stuck to Danny like a piece of candy. She followed him wherever he went and it was hard for him to shake her off. If she did not see him for a while, she would cry loudly. However, when Danny turned ten years of age and it was confirmed that his profound veins were damaged, Morgan seemed to grow up overnight. She knew the consequences of having broken profound veins and then understood the concept of her identity as his "little Cousin". This started her regime of training in the ways of the profound to protect the life of the weaker Danny.
After the Earth's twenty four years of "dreams", Danny felt that his time here with Morgan's kindness was as luxurious as it was precious.
Although Emma Ross was about to become his wife, she would only be like the sky's coldest moon; something to only be seen but not touched.
If I marry a girl like Little Cousin, it would be perfect… These kinds of thoughts uncontrollably popped up in Danny's state of mind.
After completing the complex motions of dressing Danny, Morgan let out a sigh of relief. Tippy toeing, she lifted her hand and tousled his hair. With an expression of tender affection clearly printed on her face, her pink lips slightly parted like petals of a flower.
With a supernatural speed, Danny instinctively tilted his head and pressed his mouth against Morgan's lusciously pink lips….
"Ahh!!"
Morgan cried out and sprang backwards like a frightened rabbit. Her fingers touched her numb lips as her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and a touch of red quickly spread from her fair face to the nape of her neck, "You… You… You kissed me again!!"
"You have the same reaction as usual." The innocent Danny had a heartbroken expression on his face, "When we were younger, we always played your favorite kiss kiss game. These days, you go into shock every time I try to kiss you."
"Y-y-you… You knew that was when we were kids!" Morgan's face flushed into the color of a red rose, "We're now adults and cannot afford to mess around! You… You are soon to have a wife! In the future you can only kiss your wife!"
"Why…"
"Because I'm your little Cousin!" Morgan stomped her foot as she lost her breath.
"Then…. What do I do if I want to kiss you?" Smiling mischievously, Danny put his hand under his chin. The adorable fifteen year old girl before him didn't have the slightest bit of a "little Cousin's" deterrence.
"Then… You should marry me!" Morgan turned her nose up in anger.
"Hey! You're my little Cousin, how could I possibly marry you…." Danny said with his voice lowered as his eyes widened.
"Even you know that! If you dare steal another kiss, I'll let your wife know and let her handle you. Hmph! Morgan looked at him triumphantly, with her nose in the air.
Henry's voice came from outside once again, "Young master, are you ready? It's about time to go get the bride."
"Yes, I'm coming out now." Danny looked at his current outfit, and got ready to leave. After two steps,Morgan grabbed his hand and said with a serious face, "Danny! Before leaving, repeat the promise we made yesterday, word for word, or I won't let you go."
Yesterday's promise? Danny thought for a while and cannot help but say, "Alright…. after entering the marriage with Emma Ross, I won't forget about little Cousin just because I have a wife. I'll spend the same amount of time with little Cousin like before, I will listen to little Cousin's calls and would arrive as soon as I'm called just like before… I don't think I forgot a word."
"Hehe, what a good boy." Morgan smiled sweetly but did not release Danny's hand, "However, we will be adding another one today, the one I forgot yesterday…. Although Morgan is about to become your wife, in your heart she cannot outweigh me! Repeat that right now, hurry, hurry hurry!"
Danny gazed at her beautiful eyes and said, "If you kiss me, I will make that promise."
"Then… marry me?"
"..."Danny was defeated.
"Young master, are you still not ready?" It was forbidden to be past the "auspicious time". Henry urgent voice came from outside again.
Danny put his hand on the door but did not push it open yet. He whispered, "I can't make that promise because in my heart, you are already my number one. Even if there are a hundred Emma Ross's, she cannot catch up to you. You are irreplaceable."
As his voice faded, he pushed the door open and left.
Morgan stood still, frozen in place for a while. An arc formed at the edge of her lips and she joyfully skipped out afterwards, like a girl who had been given her favorite candy.
