On the way back, Jasper got another call.
After hanging up the phone, he stood on the side of the road for a while. Speaking of which, it was indeed a long time since he had seen those old friends.
Among them was Gale…
That’s right, it was a call from the hospital saying that Gale was constantly talking about Jasper, and was always asking for Jasper to visit him whenever Jasper was free.
After arriving at the hospital, Jasper found the ward and walked straight over. Naturally, there were a group of people standing at the door of Gale’s room. Gale’s business had a lot of ups and downs during the course of his life, and he had many disciples and children, so naturally there was no shortage of people coming to visit him.
When Jasper walked past, those people recognized him at a glance. As they were about to speak, Jasper stopped them.
“I’ll go in by myself.”
Jasper pushed open the door and entered to see Gale, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window. He thought it was a doctor or a nurse who came in.
“Just put the medicine on the table, I’ll take it later. I wonder what happened to that kid, Jasper. It’s quite exciting to hear the news over there. It’s such a huge pity that I can’t be there.”
Gale looked up at the sky with deep eyes. He knew very well that with his physical condition, his name would not be in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce again in the future.
“Since you want to know about him, why don’t you ask him yourself?” A familiar voice came from behind, which stunned Gale for a while.
After he turned around in disbelief, he burst out laughing when he saw the young guy standing in front of him.
“Hahaha! You sly child, you are getting more and more cunning! You didn’t say a word before you came to see me and you appeared behind me without making a sound. Are you trying to scare me to death?” Gale said with a smile.
As soon as he saw Jasper’s figure, Gale became more cheerful.
“Since you’re here, why don‘t we go out for a drink? I haven’t toasted to your success yet, sly child.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper glanced at him up and down before smiling helplessly, “You’ll be in a lot of trouble if you drink, why don’t you just take out your best tea instead?”
