The Proctor family.
Because of the two days of rain, the yellow leaves covered the entire garden.
The ground was wet and muddy.
No one cleaned up.
The whole Proctor family seemed to be dead.
Not even a maid was seen.
Jameson Proctor got out of the car, looked around, and lifted his leg to move forward.
In the backyard, Jefferey Proctor was sitting in his wheelchair, looking at the distant sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
After hearing footsteps, he turned his head slightly, "Jameson, you're here."
Jameson Proctor stood beside him, "Where are all the servants?"
Jefferey Proctor said, "Dad is lying in bed and can't move, so I'm the only one left here anyway, so I dismissed them all."
Jameson Proctor didn't say anything.
Jefferey Proctor said, "By the way, it was so chaotic a while ago that I kept forgetting to ask, are you feeling better?"
"Fine."
"Sharon and ...that child, are they both ok?"
"Yeah, they're fine."
Jefferey Proctor looked ahead again, "Then I'm relieved."
After a moment, Jameson Proctor only said again, "They said that you were looking for me."
Jefferey Proctor nodded gently and said in a slow voice, "You know Dad's situation.I heard that there are some experts in this area in Canada, so..."
"You want to take him there?"
"It's always better to try than to stay like this and do nothing."
"I can send someone to bring the doctor over."
Jefferey Proctor was silent before saying, "Jameson, I want to go out for a walk.I don't want to be stuck in this place for the rest of my life."
In fact, Jameson Proctor understood what he meant.
Taking the old man to Canada to see a doctor was just an excuse.
It was Jefferey Proctor who really wanted to leave.
Jefferey Proctor continued, "It's been more than twenty years since the accident, and since then, I've spent most of my time here, walking only as far as the hospital.When I look up, I always see the same piece of sky."
Jameson Proctor said, "Are you telling me this because you think I won't let you leave?"
Jefferey Proctor lost his smile, "Maybe.I know there are people outside watching me, and I can't leave without your permission."
"They are not spying on you, nor are they restricting you from going anywhere"
"Jameson, those things that happened in the past, although the fault is not ours, as a son, I also have my responsibility."
Jameson Proctor said, "When are you going to leave?"
"In a couple of days."
"I will not go to see you off.Have a safe trip."
Jefferey Proctor looked over at him with a smile, "I'm sure it won't be long before we see each other again."
After exiting the Proctor family, Jacob Green asked, "Mr.Proctor, what did the young master say?"
Jameson Proctor looked out the window and spoke faintly, "He intends to leave here."
"Leave? Is it because of ...the chairman's wife?"
