Chapter 132
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
After lunch, Frank received a call from the Manager of Lithern Club saying that Lily had met some trouble and that he needed to deal with it After hanging up the phone, he said something to Trevon before walking away. He did not give Hackett an extra look.
Hackett was ignored. âMr. Wilson, maybe Mr. Roberts really likes men? He hasnât had a girlfriend or some woman for so many years. I believe that thereâs something wrong with his sexuality.â
Trevon continued to read the papers and signed his name. He said casually, âYouâre overthinking. Even if he likes men, youâre not his type. You canât arouse his interest. You should focus on Miss Landor. I havenât seen you bring back any useful news for so many days.â
Speaking of this, Hackett had different opinions. âI do have some useful information. Before that, pay the medical fees for me.â
Trevon took out his phone with a doubtful look. Hackett felt an urge to know how much this guy had sent him. âYou donât have to stay here anymore.
Leave the hospital this afternoonâ Hackett was too noisy. He would hamper the plan if he continued to stay in the ward.
âIf Iâm discharged, how can I help you collect the information about her? By the way, I have to take revenge back at Sherri. I wonât leave.â
Trevon threatened, âSure, Iâll tell your mother that you like men.â
Hackett narrowed his eyes. âFuck, what a cruel guyâ Joy highly valued her sonâs marriage. Trevon pointed out his Achillesâ heel. If Hackettâs mother misunderstood that her son was gay, it would be a war.
Joy had put in great efforts to find a wife for Hackett. She forced her husband to work overtime in the company and asked Hackett to live in the hospital like a retired man. All of these things were just for the only purpose of picking up a good wife for his son. If she was told that Hackett was gay, even if it was fake, she would probably faint.
âAlright, you win. Give me the moneyâ Correct counting keeps good friendships. How could he suffer with nothing gained?
Trevon was too stingy to compromise so easily. He made a requirement. âTell me the information first. Iâll give it to you when I find it valuable. Iâll transfer the money to you when you get home.â
âSo cunning of you! Alright, I mentioned your name a few days ago. Sherri hates your existence.â
Trevon frowned slightly. What did he mean by hating his existence? Was he asking him to commit suicide?
After a pause, Hackett said helplessly. âMaybe you used to be an unreliable man, like a bastard. Youâve already been written. on their blacklist. Also, Sherri added that you donât deserve Natalie now. She has found her supporter. Do you know who he is?â
Trevon smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows. âI know.â
Hackett leaned forward and asked curiously. âDo you know who is so powerful that you cannot even compete?â
âDoes it have anything to do with you?â Trevon said with disgust.
Hackett felt that Trevonâs behavior was very abnormal. A few days ago, he had even asked him to fish some information about her. But today, he was not very interested and did not seem very concerned. What was going on? He thought for a moment and said, âDid you apologize to her?â
âYesâ A concise reply as usual.
âWhat the hell! You didnât even tell me that you made an apology. Or I wouldnât have been beaten up in the morning. You have to compensate me double for the medical fees.â If Trevon had told him this he wouldnât have been hit. His face had already been ruined and would take half a month to recover. What a tragedy.
Trevon did not intend to take the blame. âYou were beaten up because of your cheap mouth, not my fault. The medical fees can be paid at my discretion. As for revenge, donât target the wrong person. Do you have the guts to get back at her?â
Hackett was provoked. âI said I would make her love me and collapse at her feet. Just wait and see. Thereâs not a woman ! canât take down.â
Hackett rambled on for a while before being chased out. He packed his things and left the hospital.
When he arrived home, he even sent a photo of Trevon lying flat at home with a postscript: Pay me.
Instantly, his phone got a message [+$200).
Hackett thought that he had seen wrongly. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He counted the zeros after 2. After confirming that it was 200, he called Trevon. âMr. Wilson, do you think itâs a fair price?â
The other end said calmly, âI even gave you some extra. Keep the change.â
Hackett threw the phone away angrily and muttered, âWhat the helli.â
At I p.m. the voice of the walking stick came. Under the escort of the bodyguards and butler. Theo Wilson arrived at the door of Room 1314. He stood still. âStay outside. Iâll go in.â
Gage said respectfully. âYes, Master.â
Two bodyguards stood at the door with their hands clasped. They stood upright in a solemn manner. The nurses felt pressed and did not dare to chat.
They knew that the patient in 1314 was somebody, but they still felt awe-struck when they saw it with their own eyes.
The moment Theo pushed the door open and entered, he saw Jim playing with his phone on the sofa. When the young man saw Theo enter, he immediately stood up. âMaster.â
He glanced at his grandson who was working on the bed, and replied to Jim. âEm. Good job, young man.â
Jim was very sensible. After working for the Wilson family for so many years, he knew that Theo came here for a talk with Mr. Wilson. âThanks, itâs my duty. Master, Iâll wait outside. Call me if you need me.â
Theo was gratified. âJim is indeed a sensible man. You should learn more from him.â
Jim smiled awkwardly. He did not dare to set an example for Mr. Wilson. Before he left, he pulled a chair and placed it by the bed for Master to sit on.
Then, he quietly left the room.
Theo leaned on his walking stick and slowly sat down. He looked at his grandson, who was seriously dealing with the papers on the bed. âYouâve been living here for so many days. Anything worked out?â
After signing the last document, Trevon straightened his well-defined fingers, put down the black pen, and leaned against the bed. His gaze stufted from the documents to his grandfather. âWhat result does Grandpa want?*
Theo had great expectations for him. He held his walking stick. The moment the walking stick hit the ground, a loud and intimidating sound lingered in the ward. âAm I the one who has a goal? Youâre the one who should understand your ultimate goal. Tell me whatâs that.â
âRemarry.â
Then Theo felt less dissatisfied with his grandson. At least Trevon was not stupid. He knew he lived here with a mission. However, Grandpa still sighed. âItâs good that you know what you want. You donât have to be running like a headless chicken. But whatâs the point if you spend so much time here ending up without any progress? Canât you admit your mistake and make a compromise? When you are discharged, you lose the opportunity to see her. You canât live in the name of a retard and stay here forever, right?â
Trevon said nothing. Why is his grandpa so mean? His grandson was improving, but he seemed to ignore it.
After a while, he said, Tve apologized She... hasnât forgiven me yet.â
Theo finally had a smile on his old face. âThatâs better. Rome was not built in a day. You hurt the girl so hard. She wonât forgive you so easily. Itâs a good start that she didnât hit you. Come on! Donât go extreme. What do you do every day now? Donât tell me youâre just sitting still waiting for her comeback.â
He coughed awkwardly. It was a long journey to win back his wife, but he was not capable enough and still needed his grandfatherâs supervision.
âAhem, I sent her flowers.â
Theo thought about it and agreed. âYes, itâs a little old-fashioned, but at least it can enhance your presence. You didnât leave your name, right?â
Trevon shook his head. The app said that it would backfire if itâs signed. An anonymous card would make her feel that he was considering her feelings.
Theo was a little surprised by his grandsonâs intelligence. âDidnât you sign up for any EQ courses?â After all, his grandson was a stubborn straight man. It was not his style to give gifts anonymously.
Theo indeed read through his grandsonâs mind. Trevonâs eyes became evasive, but he still lied. âNo, how could I take courses if I stay in the hospital all day?â
Theo thought about it and agreed. âWell, at least youâre a little enlightened. In the future, put the girlâs thoughts first. Donât prioritize yourself all the time. Youâre not that important.â
Trevon was speechless. âGrandpa, are you here to see me, not to irritate me?â
âIf Iâm not here for you, why I bothered to come here? What a heartless grandson. Alright, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll go back for a nap. Come on and never give up!â Theo slowly stood up with his walking stick and walked towards the door with vigorous steps. He did not look at his worthless grandson again.
At the door, the butler said, âMrs. Wilson is in the office. His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him. âOkay, Iâll go take a look. Donât expose yourself. Call her Dr. Foster.â
Theo walked to the door and knocked politely. His voice was loud and kind. âIs Dr. Foster here?â The butler and bodyguards could not help but praise Masterâs acting He was pretending to be someone who had completely lost his memory and did not know Mrs. Wilson.
Natalie turned her head when she heard the voice. She was shocked, but she quickly recalled that Mr. Wilson had called her Dr. Foster.
She immediately stood up and walked to the door. Theo spoke first. âDr. Foster, I want to talk to you about my grandson. May I have your time?â
Natalie smiled as he watched Mr. Wilsonâs serious expression. âYes.â
The bodyguards and butler walked to the end of the corridor, preventing anyone from approaching. âGirl, my acting deserves an Oscar, right?â
Natalie couldnât help but laugh. Mr. Wilson was amiable and kind. âMr. Wilson, surely, you deserve it. Thank you.â She was grateful that he didnât expose their relationship in public and maintained decency. Otherwise, rumors would spread if anyone saw they meet.
Anyway, they couldnât say something friendly. They may think she was despised by a wealthy family and got dumped. because her disgraceful means of marrying into their family were revealed.
Theo knew what she was thanking him for. He smiled brightly with clearly visible wrinkles. âYou donât have to thank Grandpa. This is what Grandpa should do. Itâs a hard job for you to work in the hospital. Where there are many people, there are endless rumors. How can Grandpa cause trouble for you? Why didnât you visit Grandpa?â
Natalie was silent for a moment before saying, âMr. Wilson, L...â
Theo interrupted her. âItâs okay if you find it inappropriate. Next time we can meet outside. By the way, bring your little guy along. I really want to see him. I hope you donât mind.â
Her eyes were wide open in shock. She suspected that he had already known the truth. Then, maybe Trevon also...
Theo saw the fear in her eyes and comforted her. âAs long as itâs your child, I donât care whoever the father is.â
Natalie wasnât sure if Theo knew the truth or not.
She did not refuse him. âAlright. Iâll take him next time.â
âYouâve suffered. The Wilson family owes you a lot. Youâre a good girl. Itâs your decision whether to forgive that bastard. Grandpa wonât interfere.
Then, donât forget to bring the little guy when we meet next time. Agree?â
Natalie smiled and nodded. Theo was already over 80 years old. She did not know how old he was exactly, but she also had no idea how long he could live in this world. Itâs a kind promise to let him see Jasper.
