The old Mr. Barlow laughed heartily at what was said.
Looking at her husbandâs happy expression, the old Mrs. Barlow felt relieved.
âBy the way, why is William taking so long to escort the guests?â The old Mrs. Barlow checked the time and felt that it was taking too long.
Jasper walked to the bedside and looked out the window. From the hospital room, he could see the main exit of the hospital.
If William was escorting the guests to the hospital exit, he might be able to see them from here.
Sure enough, she saw Williamâs figure.
What surprised her was that there were two other people with William, and the way they were dressed made her feel familiar.
Right, these two people⦠werenât they the two scavengers she saw yesterday?
Did they also come to the hospital? And did they meet William again?
Jasper turned to the old Mr. and Mrs. Barlow and said, âIâll go down and find William first.â
âOkay, you go find him,â the old Mrs. Barlow said.
Jasper quickly left the hospital room and took the elevator to the first floor, running towards the direction of the hospital exit.
Meanwhile, Harold and Camelia Meyer looked at their grandson with a bitter expression on their aged faces.
âWe⦠we just heard that the old Mr. Barlow was sick and hospitalized, so we bought some fruit and wanted to visit him.â
âVisit? Is it a real visit, or do you want to establish a relationship with the Barlow family? Wasnât the money we gave you yesterday enough for you?â
âNo, no, it was enough. We really just wanted to visit and thank the Barlow family for raising you well!â
Camelia said hurriedly.
After experiencing ups and downs over the years, the couple had also begun to believe in karma.
It was the seeds they had sown in the past that had led to the fruits they were reaping now!
If they had acted righteously when their youngest daughter committed a crime, then there wouldnât have been so many problems later on.
âI am a child of the Barlow family, and they raised me. Itâs their business, and you donât need to thank them for anything!â
William said.
Williamâs resistance to the two of them made Harold and Camelia feel sad.
âBut William, can we come and see you often in the future? We wonât bother you, and we donât want anything, we just want to see youâ¦â The two elderly people begged.
At their age, they only hoped to see their only blood relative more often, and that would be enough for them.
âBut I donât want to see you again!â William shouted, because every time he saw them, he would think of Lily, the woman he should call âmotherâ!
If possible, he wished he had nothing to do with the Atkinson family!
âWilliam, we are blood relatives, you are our only grandson!â Camelia said.
âThatâs enough!â William scolded, âDonât say those words about blood relatives, it just makes me sick!â
The two elderly people became awkward and embarrassed.
Just then, Jasperâs voice rang out, âWilliam!â
Williamâs body suddenly stiffened, and he turned around to see Jasper walking towards him. âWhy did you come down?â
âYouâve been gone for so long, so I came down to find you,â Jasper said, looking at Harold and Camelia, âTheyâ¦â
âThey just asked me for directions. They didnât know how to get to Building 3 of the hospital, and I already told them. Letâs go,â he said, grabbing Jasperâs hand and walking towards the hospital ward.
Before Jasper could react, William had already led her back to the hospital lobby.
