Ballard cursed furiously outside, which was obvious nothing new for Tim.
"He didn't mess around in his own apartment, but came to mess up my kitchen. He did it on purpose!"
Ballard was almost choked from anger.
Ever since Tim was rescued from that kidnap, he seemed to have changed all of a sudden into a different person who would do anything to upset him.
But Tim curled his lips and said, "That's right, I won't put my own apartment into danger. Redecoration won't be easy if a fire destroys it."
These words successfully made Ballard angry enough to black out.
"Ballard! Ballard! Someone call the family doctor!"
Ms. Bush sweated heavily in shock.
However, Tim took a shower and was fairly numb to this whole black-out thing since it happened too often.
Anyway, the family doctor was always there, and the old man himself was not ready to die.
He finished the shower, changed his clothes. Seeing his bald head in the mirror, he found a hat to put on, and left the house.
He entered a barbershop, and told the barber to shave off all his hair.
What else could be done to save it?
He was not used to the chilling scalp when he came out, not to say the straight gaze from everyone who saw him. The gaze made him want to hit the ceiling.
"What are you looking at! You haven't seen a monk, have you?"
Tim cursed in a low roar, scaring away the surrounding people in an instant.
Just as he was thinking about grab something to eat, he received a phone call from Lucas.
Tim answered it and said, "Boy, I heard that you had a cold? You're so lame. Your mom is fine. Don't worry. I just get out of the hospital. She's in good spirits."
Tim's words made Lucas relieved, he whispered, "Uncle Jacob, thank you. I heard that you saved my mother last night."
Laurel didn't even know about it, where did Lucas get the news?
Tim was stunned for a moment. Then, it crossed his mind that Lucas was a genius, he must have hacked into the hospital's computer system.
"Kid, you can't do this. You can't just hack into security systems without permission. Do you know that this is illegal?"
"I was just worried about Mommy."
His hoarse voice, accompanied by bursts of coughing, softened Tim.
After all, he is Nicole's son, but Nicole couldn't take care of him now. Tim could do nothing but say, "I'll drop by with the snacks you like."
"Great! I want durian crisp."
Lucas asked without any bashfulness.
Tim smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go buy it for you."
"Alright, I'll wait for you, Uncle Jacob."
After hanging up the phone, Lucas stood up to change his clothes, but saw Laurel walking in.
"Grandma."
"Are you feeling any better?"
Laurel loved her grandson dearly.
"Much better. Uncle Jacob is coming to see me."
Lucas’ words made Laurel slightly stunned. However, she smiled and said, "Alright, but remember to take some good rest, got it?"
"Thank you, Grandma."
Laurel caressed Lucas’ forehead. Seeing that his fever had gone, she ordered some hot water to be prepared, and left Lucas alone.
When Tim arrived at the Green’s, Laurel was very surprised.
"Mr. Tim, your haircut is very... impressive."
Laurel didn't say anything else. It took her much effort to find this word.
Tim touched her bare forehead and smiled, "Mrs. Green, you're outdated, this is the fashion now."
"Oh, fashion."
Laurel smiled faintly, and thought in her heart that if her two sons showed up like this, she would definitely beat them up.
"Lucas is upstairs. Go and find him."
Tim shrugged his shoulders at Laurel's words, then went to Lucas’ room.
"Kid, here is your durian crisp."
Tim handed the durian crisp to Lucas.
Lucas looked at Tim in astonishment and didn't react for a long time.
"How is my hair? Isn't it cool?"
Tim asked with a smile.
Lucas nodded, "Cool, it looks like you just got released from a jail."
"Kid, you got a naughty mouth!"
Tim was already depressed, and now he was even more depressed by Lucas' words.
"Is it really that ugly?"
"Well, it's alright. I just need a little more time to get used to it."
Lucas obviously went tender on him.
Tim sat aside and said dejectedly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have messed it up."
"Mess up what?"
"That's not your business!"

What is it with Chinese authors.
