The old man answered with a hint of impatience.
There's no way around it; smart people often find such silly questions irritating and annoying.
Frank finally woke up to the impatience in the old man's tone, and the words "this is unfair" were stuck in his throat, ultimately left unsaid.
But the immense disappointment still swept over his mind in an instant.
A whole five years... five years... and just when the bountiful fruit was almost within reach, someone suddenly snatched it away?!
What he found most unacceptable was the possibility that the person who took his achievement might share a blood relationship with him?!
Yet, obviously, he couldn't discuss these things with the old man on the phone right now, so he restrained himself and replied sullenly, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I was too anxious. I think you can understand, just a moment ago I was still pondering this issue, and in the next moment, I heard such news, not even hearing it from Danis..."
