Wilson's car headed straight to the villa of the Wilson Mansion.
It took some twists and turns to arrive at the main house. At this time, chrysanthemums were blooming but Wilson had no intention of appreciating them. After he stopped the car, he entered the most central building.
"Mr. Wilson!" The butler and some servants greeted Wilson when they saw him.
"Where's Grandfather?" Wilson asked anxiously.
"He is on the second floor. The family doctor is examining him," the butler answered.
Wilson immediately hurried up the stairs. He entered a room on the second floor.
There were many people standing around the room, including Wilson's parents and his sister. Wilson's uncle and his cousins were there too. There were two other women standing beside his male cousins, presumably their girlfriends.
"Wilson, you're back?" Wilson's uncle greeted him first.
"Yes, Uncle." Wilson nodded his head politely. He swept his gaze across his two elder cousins. Unsurprisingly, they looked back at him with jealousy and hatred.
"Wilson!" Wilson's mother, Sophie quickly pulled Wilson to his grandfather's bedside. "Grandfather was afraid that you can't arrive on time!"
"Of course I can!" Wilson immediately bent down and held his grandfather, Lincoln's hand. "Grandfather, I'm here!"
The elderly man needed additional oxygen therapy at the moment, and two doctors were busy fiddling with medical equipment to examine him.
When Lincoln heard Wilson's voice, he opened his eyes and gripped Wilson's hand. He struggled to focus on Wilson with his dim vision. "I'm fine now. This time, I managed to survive again. The Grim Reaper knew that I can't rest in peace if I were to go now, so he gave me more time!"
"Grandfather!" Wilson's heart ached. He knew what his grandfather was worried about. The older a person was, the more they desired to see their family grow in numbers and to leave a legacy. The whole Family seemed to be harmonious on the surface, but his wish for great-grandchildren had not been realized.
