After lunch, Frank received a call from the Manager of Lithern Club saying that Lily had met some trouble and that he needed to deal with it
After hanging up the phone, he said something to Trevon before walking away. He did not give Hackett an extra look.
Hackett was ignored. “Mr. Wilson, maybe Mr. Roberts really likes men? He hasn’t had a girlfriend or some woman for so many years. I believe that there’s something wrong with his sexuality.”
Trevon continued to read the papers and signed his name. He said casually, “You’re overthinking. Even if he likes men, you’re not his type. You can’t arouse his interest. You should focus on Miss Landor. I haven’t seen you bring back any useful news for so many days.”
Speaking of this, Hackett had different opinions. “I do have some useful information. Before that, pay the medical fees for
me.”
Trevon took out his phone with a doubtful look. Hackett felt an urge to know how much this guy had sent him. “You don’t have to stay here anymore. Leave the hospital this afternoon” Hackett was too noisy. He would hamper the plan if he continued to stay in the ward.
“If I’m discharged, how can I help you collect the information about her? By the way, I have to take revenge back at Sherri. I
won’t leave.”
Trevon threatened, “Sure, I’ll tell your mother that you like men.”
Hackett narrowed his eyes. “Fuck, what a cruel guy” Joy highly valued her son’s marriage. Trevon pointed out his Achilles’ heel. If Hackett’s mother misunderstood that her son was gay, it would be a war.
Joy had put
in great efforts to find a wife for Hackett. She forced her husband to work overtime in the company and asked Hackett to live in the hospital like a retired man. All of these things were just for the only purpose of picking up a good wife for his son. If she was told that Hackett was gay, even if it was fake, she would probably faint.
“Alright, you win. Give me the money” Correct counting keeps good friendships. How could he suffer with nothing gained?
Trevon was too stingy to compromise so easily. He made a requirement. “Tell me the information first. I’ll give it to you when I find it valuable. I’ll transfer the money to you when you get home.”
“So cunning of you! Alright, I mentioned your name a few days ago. Sherri hates your existence.”
Trevon frowned slightly. What did he mean by hating his existence? Was he asking him to commit suicide?
After a pause, Hackett said helplessly. “Maybe you used to be an unreliable man, like a bastard. You’ve already been written. on their blacklist. Also, Sherri added that you don’t deserve Natalie now. She has found her supporter. Do you know who he
is?”
Trevon smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows. “I know.”
Hackett leaned forward and asked curiously. “Do you know who is so powerful that you cannot even compete?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Trevon said with disgust.
Hackett felt that Trevon’s behavior was very abnormal. A few days ago, he had even asked him to fish some information about her. But today, he was not very interested and did not seem very concerned. What was going on? He thought for a moment and said, “Did you apologize to her?”
“Yes” A concise reply as usual.
“What the hell! You didn’t even tell me that you made an apology. Or I wouldn’t have been beaten up in the morning. You have to compensate me double for the medical fees.” If Trevon had told him this he wouldn’t have been hit. His face had already been ruined and would take half a month to recover. What a tragedy.
Trevon did not intend to take the blame. “You were beaten up because of your cheap mouth, not my fault. The medical fees can be paid at my discretion. As for revenge, don’t target the wrong person. Do you have the guts to get back at her?”
Hackett was provoked. “I said I would make her love me and collapse at her feet. Just wait and see. There’s not a woman ! can’t take down.”
Hackett rambled on for a while before being chased out. He packed his things and left the hospital.
When he arrived home, he even sent a photo of Trevon lying flat at home with a postscript: Pay me.
Instantly, his phone got a message [+$200).
Hackett thought that he had seen wrongly. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He counted the zeros after 2. After confirming that it was 200, he called Trevon. “Mr. Wilson, do you think it’s a fair price?”
The other end said calmly, “I even gave you some extra. Keep the change.”
Hackett threw the phone away angrily and muttered, “What the helli.”
At I p.m. the voice of the walking stick came. Under the escort of the bodyguards and butler. Theo Wilson arrived at the door of Room 1314. He stood still. “Stay outside. I’ll go in.”
Gage said respectfully. “Yes, Master.”
Two bodyguards stood at the door with their hands clasped. They stood upright in a solemn manner. The nurses felt pressed and did not dare to chat. They knew that the patient in 1314 was somebody, but they still felt awe-struck when they saw it with their own eyes.
The moment Theo pushed the door open and entered, he saw Jim playing with his phone on the sofa. When the young man saw Theo enter, he immediately stood up. “Master.”
He glanced at his grandson who was working on the bed, and replied to Jim. “Em. Good job, young man.”
Jim was very sensible. After working for the Wilson family for so many years, he knew that Theo came here for a talk with Mr. Wilson. “Thanks, it’s my duty. Master, I’ll wait outside. Call me if you need me.”
Theo was gratified. “Jim is indeed a sensible man. You should learn more from him.”
Jim smiled awkwardly. He did not dare to set an example for Mr. Wilson. Before he left, he pulled a chair and placed it by the bed for Master to sit on. Then, he quietly left the room.
Theo leaned on his walking stick and slowly sat down. He looked at his grandson, who was seriously dealing with the papers on the bed. “You’ve been living here for so many days. Anything worked out?”
After signing the last document, Trevon straightened his well-defined fingers, put down the black pen, and leaned against the bed. His gaze stufted from the documents to his grandfather. “What result does Grandpa want?*
Theo had great expectations for him. He held his walking stick. The moment the walking stick hit the ground, a loud and intimidating sound lingered in the ward. “Am I the one who has a goal? You’re the one who should understand your ultimate goal. Tell me what’s that.”
“Remarry.”
Then Theo felt less dissatisfied with his grandson. At least Trevon was not stupid. He knew he lived here with a mission. However, Grandpa still sighed. “It’s good that you know what you want. You don’t have to be running like a headless chicken. But what’s the point if you spend so much time here ending up without any progress? Can’t you admit your mistake and make a compromise? When you are discharged, you lose the opportunity to see her. You can’t live in the name of a retard and stay here forever, right?”
Trevon said nothing. Why is his grandpa so mean? His grandson was improving, but he seemed to ignore it.
After a while, he said, Tve apologized She… hasn’t forgiven me yet.”
Theo finally had a smile on his old face. “That’s better. Rome was not built in a day. You hurt the girl so hard. She won’t forgive you so easily. It’s a good start that she didn’t hit you. Come on! Don’t go extreme. What do you do every day now? Don’t tell me you’re just sitting still waiting for her comeback.”
He coughed awkwardly. It was a long journey to win back his wife, but he was not capable enough and still needed his grandfather’s supervision. “Ahem, I sent her flowers.”
Theo thought about it and agreed. “Yes, it’s a little old-fashioned, but at least it can enhance your presence. You didn’t leave your name, right?”
Trevon shook his head. The app said that it would backfire if it’s signed. An anonymous card would make her feel that he was considering her feelings.
Theo was a little surprised by his grandson’s intelligence. “Didn’t you sign up for any EQ courses?” After all, his grandson was a stubborn straight man. It was not his style to give gifts anonymously.
Theo indeed read through his grandson’s mind. Trevon’s eyes became evasive, but he still lied. “No, how could I take courses if I stay in the hospital all day?”
Theo thought about it and agreed. “Well, at least you’re a little enlightened. In the future, put the girl’s thoughts first. Don’t prioritize yourself all the time. You’re not that important.”
Trevon was speechless. “Grandpa, are you here to see me, not to irritate me?”
“If I’m not here for you, why I bothered to come here? What a heartless grandson. Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back for a nap. Come on and never give up!” Theo slowly stood up with his walking stick and walked towards the door with vigorous steps. He did not look at his worthless grandson again.
