Jasper and Dorian chatted for another thirty minutes or so before the latter had to leave. Dorian had business to attend to, so he got up and excused himself after they arrived at an understanding.
Jasper did not hold him back and walked him out of the hospital room himself.
Jasper returned to the patient’s room and pulled out an apple from the fruit basket sent over by the vice president of the hospital. Peeling the skin off the apple, Jasper joked.
“How important of us, Ms. Tiana. Other patients come into the hospital and think of ways to win the doctors over, while the vice president himself brings fruit over for us.”
Ms. Tiana leaned against the headboard and told Jasper gently, “All thanks to you.”
Jasper saw how healthy Ms. Tiana appeared, and took the initiative to ask, “Ms. Tiana. What about your kids?”
Ms. Tiana’s expression changed and she replied after sighing, “There’s no point talking about that unfilial son.”
“Tell me anyway.”
Jasper handed Ms. Tiana a peeled apple.
“I heard that he angered you so much you had to be sent to the hospital’s emergency room.”
Ms. Tiana replied sorrowfully, “He said he’s too poor and he can’t afford to pay his child’s school fees. I gave him my old house and he said it wasn’t enough. He knows that I’m managing the money from the foundation, so he wants me to transfer the money to him secretly.
“There’s no way I’d do something like that.
“I rejected him immediately, but he won’t leave me alone. Sigh, what misfortune to have such a child.”
Speak of the devil.
The hospital room door was pushed open and a man appeared at the doors to the patient’s room.
“Mom!”
Donned in a suit and looking like serious salaryman, he shouted at Ms. Tiana from the entrance to the room.
Ms. Tiana was stunned for a moment before she replied darkly, “Don’t call me mom! I don’t have a son like you!”
Jasper was the one by her side when times were most difficult.
Not only did Jasper solve many of her troubles, but despite his status and role as the owner of a huge business, Jasper even came to take care of her himself. Not to mention that Jasper was passionate when it came to charity.
