Hendrick couldn’t stand Helen’s pitiable look anymore. He deadpanned his reply and repeated himself, “I want you to apologize immediately.”
“Okay…” Albeit her reluctance, Helen did as instructed and apologized, “Please forgive me because I didn’t mean it either.”
Jason rolled his eyes and kept silent at that score. Then, he got up from his seat and headed over to the washroom to wash his face.
Since they were in the VIP ward, there was a built-in washroom in the ward. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to show up in front of others with such an unkempt look.
When Jason was a step away from the washroom, someone entered the ward—Fabian had returned.
The indifferent man smirked when he saw Jason’s pathetic look. He couldn’t help but wonder the reason behind the sprightly young man ended up in such a piteous state.
“Hmph!” Jason rolled his eyes once more before making his way into the washroom.
He secretly held a grudge against Fabian for not defending him and even laughing at him. After all, they had been close acquaintances for years while their families had a close tie for decades.
Thankfully, I’m smart enough to get myself a godfather to defend me. I don’t have to worry about you siding Helen in the future.
“Hello, Uncle,” Fabian greeted the embarrassed Hendrick.
“Hey, Fabian. I have brought Hannah something to eat.” Grinning, Hendrick, who was conscious of the things Fabian had done, was glad that his daughter had met such an exceptional man.
“Indeed, Hannah needs as much nutrition as possible since she has just undergone an operation.” Fabian looked at the soup Hendrick had brought and smirked as though he was up to no good.
Why do I have a bad feeling about it? Is he going to replicate Mom’s recipe in the future?
Winson got excited when he saw Fabian. He greeted, “You’re back!”
Hannah couldn’t figure out the reason why Winson had grown fond of Fabian. She thought it was because Fabian had always been the children’s favorite.
Fabian approached Winson and greeted him with a smile, “Yes, do you miss me?”
When Fabian noticed Helen’s dejected look, he asked, “What’s wrong? Has anyone offended you?”
“I think it’s because she has spat out food on Jason’s face!” Winson answered on Helen’s behalf before she could say anything.
I have been wondering the reason behind Jason’s misery. It turns out she’s the one behind it again.
“It’s not a big deal, isn’t it? He’ll be fine after washing his face,” Fabian replied nonchalantly.
Coincidentally, Jason, who happened to walk out of the washroom, was completely speechless because of Fabian’s reply.
Fabian, are you aware I’m the victim over here? I-It’s very embarrassing, okay? Can you do me a favor and stop rubbing it in front of others?
“Are you okay?” Hendrick asked and expressed his concerns when he saw Jason walking out of the washroom.
“Uncle Hendrick, I’m fine.” Jason shot daggers at Fabian while answering Hendrick’s query.
Initially, Fabian was surprised by the way Jason addressed Hendrick, but he soon smirked when he figured out the things Jason was up to. Oh? So you have acquired Hannah’s father’s aid because you’re afraid I will send you back?
Helen got infuriated again when Jason started addressing Hendrick in such an intimate manner. She glared at Jason and muttered, “Hmph! I’m sure he must have deceived Dad! Just you wait until I expose your evil plan to Dad later!”
Although she had complained in a hushed voice, Jason could hear everything she said.
Thus, he approached her and whispered with a contemptuous look, “Nah, although I might have exaggerated things a little, I hadn’t lied! In addition to my flawless act, don’t you think it’s natural for Uncle Hendrick to open up to me? Why don’t you go ahead and try to expose me? I’m pretty sure Uncle Hendrick won’t listen to you!”
The moment he finished whispering into her ear, he ran his fingers through his unkempt hair and replied nonchalantly, “Well, since you’re my godsister, I’ll forgive you for once because I’m a forgiving man.”
