Chapter 121
Among the three men, Jerome stood out the most because of his outfit.
Kenneth did not recognize him at first. After staring for a while, he realized that the young man was the grandson that Finley had recently found. Finley was constantly engaged in battles during his early years, so he hardly had any connection with his family. Now that he finally found his grandson, he was eager to make up to the latter.
Jerome immediately recognized Kenneth and asked in surprise, “Mr. Bowers? What are you doing here?”
Kenneth replied grandiosely, “Ms. Nichols was injured from saving Sophia. As Sophia‘s great–grandpa, I came to visit her and express my gratitude.”
As a cunning man, Kenneth ensured that his reply would not reveal anything about him bribing Natalie to keep her distance from Samuel.
On the contrary, he cast a sharp glance at Jerome and questioned, “What about you, Jerome? How are you related to Ms. Nichols?”
Jerome glanced at Natalie and replied without reservation, “Mr. Bowers, Natalie is my childhood playmate.”
“I see.”
Kenneth nodded in response. Although he didn‘t say anything about it, he could see that Jerome had romantic feelings for Natalie.
He had initially thought that Natalie was a shameless woman lusting for Samuel, a man who was way out of her league.
However, it seemed like the three men in the ward were very concerned about Natalie, especially Jerome.
What is happening to this world?I thought Samuel‘s taste in women is peculiar enough. Now, even Finley‘s grandson is crazy about this woman?
Kenneth had never felt so speechless and confused at the same time. He quickly bade them goodbye and left the ward.
After he was gone, Jerome asked with knitted eyebrows, “Natalie, how did you get involved with the Bowers family? They are very powerful and influential. The current head of the family, Samuel Bowers, is known to be a ruthless person.”
Yandel chimed in, “Boss, Jerome is right. It‘s good if you‘re on friendly terms with the Bowers family, but if you offend them, things would become troublesome.”
“I‘d like to avoid them, too.” Natalie pouted. But somehow, things happened, and I ended up in a situation like this.
“Thank you.” Natalie took the medicine and mumbled to herself, “I have to quickly recover so that I can be discharged as soon as possible...”
