Chapter 638 I Will Not Let Him Die


    Jasper was Timothy’s trusted aide. He was usually the first person to be informed of all Timothy’s


    undertakings. As far as he knew, the rtionship between Nigel and Timothy had deteriorated so badly


    that they likely couldn’t wait for the other to drop dead.


    It was a little ridiculous and strange that the Gibson family that had stirred up a storm in the city had


    suddenly decided to let bygones be bygones today.


    Jasper did not dare let his guard down. Although Azure was Timothy’s biological mother, Jasper did not


    trust her one bit.


    “I need to say goodbye to Mr. Gibson personally,” said Jasper icily. “This is a rule that Mr. Gibson has


    set for the people around him.”


    Azure did not know of the rules that Timothy had set for his subordinates. All she knew was that she


    could not allow Jasper into this mansion under any circumstances. Otherwise, if Jasper broke the news


    to Christina, she and Nigel would be in a lot of trouble.


    “Jasper,” said Azure tersely, “I know you’re a very conscientious butler. While you have to respect your


    employer, you must also respect his family. The Gibson family has indeed been through a lot of trouble


    lately, but most of them were misunderstandings. Timothy has already thought this true. Things are


    going to go back to the way they were for this family. You’re a smart man. I’m sure you know how to


    gauge the situation.”


    Jasper knew that Azure harbored ulterior motives, but he did not want to cause trouble for Timothy


    either. If things turned out exactly as Azure had described, and Timothy had chosen to forgive her and


    Nigel for their past deeds, then his brashness would only upset Timothy.


    Jasper lowered his eyes. “Very well. I’ll take my leave.”


    When Azure was certain that Jasper had driven away, she turned and entered the mansion. Timothy


    was heavily injured and could not die at Nigel’s hand under any circumstances.


    Although Azure favored Nigel, Timothy was still her flesh and blood. Naturally, she was heartbroken for


    him too.


    Jasper circled the nearby area once before driving back to Nigel’s mansion and parking somewhere


    close. He would not leave so easily without confirming Timothy’s safety.


    After waiting until midnight, Jasper spotted a car driving slowly into Nigel’s mansion. A man left the


    driver’s seat and quickly walked to the trunk and pulled out a small white box.


    It was very dim in the courtyard, but Jasper vaguely noticed a red cross on the small white box.


    That’s a first aid kit. Someone’s hurt!


    The first person Jasper thought of was Timothy. He pushed open the car door and got out of the vehicle


    before making his way to the mansion inrge strides.


    The whole vi was brightly lit, but it was eerily quiet.


    Jasper rang the doorbell repeatedly. Just as he was about to lose his patience and kick the door open,


    someone opened the door.


    The one who answered the door was none other than Azure.


    Jasper noticed that Azure, who was a private person and typically paid much attention to her


    appearances, was still in the same old gown she had worn earlier today.


    Azure looked like she was having a hard time. Her eyes also appeared red as if she had been crying all


    night.


    When Azure saw that it was Jasper at the door, she panicked. “Didn’t I ask you to leave? Why have


    youe back? It’s midnight! Don’t think you can do as you please just because Timothy regards you


    highly!”


    Azure was still a woman, after all. No matter how anxious Jasper was, he still could not force his way


    in. “Old Mrs. Gibson, Mr. Gibson hasn’t taken his medicine tonight. I only realized that he left his


    medicine in the study when I got home. Is Mr. Gibson asleep yet? I’ll just deliver it to him.”


    Azure blocked the entrance and replied, “Timothy was feeling a little unwell after dinner, so I’ve asked


    the family doctor to check on him. He has fallen asleep after taking what the doctor prescribed.”


    Timothy was not sick at all and did not need to take medicine. Jasper had deliberately concocted an


    excuse to test Azure, and it was as he had expected. It was likely that something had happened to


    Timothy after all.


    “When I was on my way here, I saw a doctor getting out of a car with a medical kit. Did something


    happen to Mr. Gibson, Old Mrs. Gibson?” asked Jasper.


    A hint of panic shed in Azure’s eyes as she avoided Jasper’s gaze. “I-It’s me. I-I had a sudden


    headache. It’s gettingte. You should go.”


    Having said that, she immediately shut the door and let out a deep sigh.


    “It’s already veryte. Mom. Who was it?” Nigel suddenly appeared behind Azure.


    Azure was taken aback. She turned around to look at Nigel in annoyance and replied, “It’s Jasper! I


    suspect that he did not leave at all. He has grown wary and wants to see Timothy.”


    Nigel smirked and said, “So it was that loyal mutt of his. If he shows up again, just ask someone to


    throw him out. There’s no need to be so polite to him. This is my house. It’s not a ce where he can


    just behave like a barbarian.”


    Azure felt ufortable listening to his rude remarks. Absent-mindedly, she asked, “How is Timothy


    doing? What did the doctor say?”


    Nigel snorted. “Don’t worry. Some of these documents need to be signed by him personally. I won’t let


    him die so easily.”


    He then turned toward the bar. He picked a bottle of red wine from the wine cab and casually


    poured himself a drink.


    Azure sighed, still ill at ease. “I’m going upstairs to take a look. You shouldn’t drink too much. It’s bad


    for you.”


    Jasper had circled around the perimeter of the mansion a few times. Due to how tight the security was


    It was alreadyte and dew had begun to form, but Jasper was dressed in just an overcoat. He was so


    cold that he ended up retreating to the car. After some hesitation, he dialed Christina’s number.


    The phone rang for some time. Just as Jasper was about to hang up, the call was suddenly connected,


    and Christina’s slightly hoarse voice could be heard.


    “Who is this?”


    “It’s Jasper, Ms. Steele.”


    Christina was taken aback. After ncing at Nathaniel, who seemed to be sound asleep, she quietly


    walked toward the balcony.


    Jasper is not someone with no sense of propriety. If he’s calling me at this hour, then it has to be an


    emergency.


    “Did something happen to my father?” asked Christina.


    “I’m not sure,” replied Jasper. He briefly told Christian what had happened earlier and added, “Mr.


    Gibson is not a soft-hearted person. Based on what I know about him, there’s no way he’d agree to


    allow Mr. Nigel toe home, let alone invest in hispany.”


    Timothy and Azure were either threatened to meet with Nigel, or they had eyes on a certain condition.


    “I’m leaving for Hallsbay right now. I want you to have Nigel’s mansion surrounded. Before I arrive,


    nobody is allowed to leave the premises.


    “Understood.”

    When Christina hung up, she turned around and collided face-first with a wall of flesh.


    “Why are you so silent when you walk?”ined Christina as she rubbed her sore nose and stared


    at Nathaniel with tears in her eyes. “Did I wake you up because I was too loud? I’m sorry.”


    Nathaniel pulled Christina into the room and carefully examined the bumped area. Apart from some


    redness in the nose, there was nothing serious.


    “It’ste. Instead of sleeping, why were you hiding on the balcony and talking on the phone? Who was


    it?”
