Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Inside the room, Jacob and Gordon were watching the old man’s bed with anxious faces.

“Dad, you finally woke up. I was so worried.” Jacob’s eyes were flushed with a hint of red.

Gordon was also moved.

“What is there to be sad about? It is only natural for people to grow old, get sick, and die. Anyway, I have to die one day.” The old man’s voice was very weak.

It was clear that his sanity had returned to normal.

“No, Grandpa, you will be able to live a long life,” Gordon said hurriedly.

“I should have died 30 years ago. I live until today only because there is one thing I can never let go of.” After he said that, the old man fixed his gaze on Simon at the back.

He added, “You all go out. I have something I want to talk to this gentleman alone.”

Gordon glanced back at Simon and frowned deeper.

“Watch the time. The patient is still very weak, so the conversation should not last more than half an hour,” Marina reminded Simon before she turned around and left.

Jacob wiped his tears and got up to leave as well.

However, Gordon looked at Simon several times before he slowly went out the door.

Seeing them come out, the rest of the Campbell family immediately approached.

“Is the old man really awake?”

“Yeah, Dad has regained consciousness.” Jacob nodded.

When he said that, the expressions of the other Campbell family members became very complicated.

Dr. Kevin also had a shocked face.

As for Sophia, her face was so pale that it seemed like she was going to faint at any moment.

Her hands hanging at the sides of her body were tightly clenched into fists.

She thought, “This woman actually did it!”

Gordon also glanced at Marina with a complicated look.

However, just as he was about to speak, Marina interrupted him and looked at Jacob.

“Your father’s condition has been stabilized for the time being. However, he has many old injuries. Plus, he is old, and his body o***s have aged naturally. I can only keep him well for one year. After a year, even the g***ds can’t save him.”

Not waiting for Jacob’s reaction, Marina turned around and walked to the stairs after finishing her words.

However, Jacob, who had returned to his senses, hurriedly shouted, “Wait a minute!”

“Anything else?” Marina turned back somewhat impatiently.

She was running out of patience.

Jacob gave his secretary a look, and the latter immediately understood.

The secretary immediately took out a stack of checks.

Jacob tore off a blank check and walked to Marina’s front.

He said, “Thank you for saving my father. Please keep this blank check. You may fill in the amount as you wish, as long as it does not exceed two million dollars.”

Jacob had a very complicated expression as he said that.

He didn’t expect that his former daughter-in-law, whom he didn’t think highly of at first, had saved his father.

But he was always fair in rewarding and punishing.

He never let others suffer losses.

And he didn’t want to owe anyone a favor.

Two million dollars was the highest price he could offer.

However, he didn’t expect Marina to laugh lightly when she looked at the blank check in his hand.

Her laughing voice was full of disdain.

Jacob immediately darkened his face.

“That’s quite an amount already.” He thought Marina was unsatisfied that the money was too little.
