There were a lot of descendants in the Norwich family, and Henry had taken care of a lot of them himself. However, since Blake lost his mother at a young age and Hector became depressed, Henry cared for him the most.
Blake did miss Henry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have teared up at that moment.
"Did my grandpa tell you about it, Nolan?"
Nolan nodded.
"Mr. Norwich Senior is doing well, but he has something more important to do. He also has something that he wishes to do for himself, so he's not going home for the moment.
"Since you're tearing up, it shows that you're still kind inside. I knew who you were, so I was going easy on you.
"Blake, you'll be disappointing Mr. Norwich Senior by living like this just to die one day. Is that really what you want? Tell you men to get out. I want to talk to you alone."
Nolan slowly got up and walked to Blake's side. He patted the latter's shoulder and sighed. "Mr. Norwich Senior can't stop worrying about you."
Suddenly, Blake choked up. It was as if he had never been happy in the past few years. Instead, he had suffered too much in the Norwich family.
He turned to Jerry and the rest and waved his hand. "Get out for now and wait for me outside."
Jerry wanted to show his loyalty at that moment, so he hurriedly said, "I should stay here with you, Mr. Norwich. If he decides to lay a finger on you, I'll protect you, even if it costs my life!"
