Chloe raised an eyebrow, recognizing that the voice belonged to a child. She remained composed as she turned to look at him.
When Jasper saw her face clearly, he was shocked. "It's you!"
Chloe frowned and asked, "You know who I am?"
"Yes, I do," Jasper replied, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Oh? How do you know me?" she asked curiously.
‘Did Xavia bad-mouth me to her kid?'
"You had a fling with my daddy, right?" Jasper asked in a serious voice.
"A fling... Your mom told you that?" Chloe's mouth twitched, realizing she had hit the nail on the head. Xavia indeed talked ill of Chloe to her kid.
"But I don't believe it," Jasper said earnestly, "I think you’re a good person."
"Huh? But why?"
"Because you came to see Greatpapi. Daddy says Greatpapi loves you very much, and you’re here to see him, so that proves you're a good person. You treat Greatpapi better than Xavia does."
Chloe was stunned. "Why do you call her by her first name?"
This kid had inherited his father's bad traits. He was as disrespectful as his father.
Jasper did not answer her question. Instead, he locked his gaze on Chloe and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be dead?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Chloe countered as she smiled.
She did not dislike this child. In fact, she quite liked him, but it did not mean she would share everything with him.
"Nothing, but will you be coming to visit Greatpapi in the future?" Jasper asked.
"Does it matter to you whether I will or not?"
"It doesn't matter to me, but it matters a lot to Greatpapi."
Despite Jasper's young age, he moved agilely. He swiftly climbed onto the bed and started skillfully massaging Harold's legs. It was evident that he had done this many times before.
"The doctor said that Greatpapi's condition has been improving lately, and it's largely because I massage and talk with him regularly. He really likes you. If you can come more often and talk to him, it'll surely speed up his recovery and wake him up sooner," Jasper explained.
Chloe's gaze softened, and she nodded gently. "I can do that, but I have one condition."
