Chapter 357


    "But what?" Sergio carefully listened to Yadriel, and realised he hadn''t finished his sentence. He


    looked up. That was when he saw Yadriel''s tall figure looking rather different. In his heart, his father


    had always been as strong as the mountains, as deep as the ocean, but now he actually looked


    harrowing. There was even a faint trace of destion, causing his heart to drop a little.


    Yadriel had always fought for his ambition in politics. He would never hide anything from Sergio, and


    would even share his ambition and wisdom with him. Due to the influence from Yadriel, his ambition


    was to be a politician since he was young. However, that day, for the very first time, he saw


    how lonely Yadriel was, which upset him.


    "Sergio, an outstanding politician not only has vicious means, but also has to take care of the


    overall situation, ept it and tolerate it. You can''t be indecisive when ites to your rtionship.


    Marriages are to serve the politics. ''Tolerance'' is the key to sess. Back then, I made a proposal


    to Sara on your behalf, but never had I thought that the down- and- out Murphy family would reject


    us and choose the Richards family. This means that they had faith in Hansen. Now that Jenna has


    been mistreated since she married into the Richards family, Sara must be extremely disappointed in


    Hansen. Your time hase." Yadriel seemed to be really into it, but he sounded a little off.


    As he listened to Yadriel''s speech, Sergio felt an overwhelming and indescribable surge of emotion.


    Jenna''s beautiful face shed across his mind, and his heart was starting to flutter.


    That year, she was only sixteen when he had first met her at a ball in Capital City. A drop- dead


    gorgeous girl. She''d stood out from the crowd, and captured his heart. Since then, all he could think


    about was her. After finally graduating from college, he had employed various ways to make Yadriel


    go to her house and propose a marriage. Unfortunately, the answer he got had broken his heart.


    In fact, the gathering in that year had been held by Johan just for them. All the government officials


    in Capital City had brought their family members to the ball, giving them opportunities to make


    connections through marriages. Whether they would seed, it would be up to God.


    Sergio fell into silence.


    Cigarettes were put out and lit up one after another by Hansen. He stood on the balcony of the


    hospital and gazed into the distance. All he could see was a gloomy sky. He too, was feeling


    gloomy, just like the sky.


    Jenna was still sitting on the bed with Jerry in her arms, looking very fragile. Her lips were trembling,


    her body was shivering, her nerves were tensed.


    The phone rang, and Hansen picked it up.


    "Mr. Richards, I have something to tell you," Alvin said in a deep voice on the other side of the


    phone.


    "Okay." Hansen looked at Jenna and Jerry who were on the bed, and changed the subject, "Has the


    helicopter arrived yet?"


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mr. Richards, they have arrived at the airport. The medical team is now on the road. It is estimated


    that they will arrive in Wullen Town at night," Alvin replied hurriedly.


    "Alright, go and get some daily necessities. I''ll bring Jenna and Jerry home first, and we''ll talkter


    in the evening." Hansen knew that if Alvin said he had something to tell him, it must be something


    important. However, Jerry''s illness was more important to him, so he gave his orders without any


    hesitation.


    "Okay." Alvin was anxious, but he understood that things couldn''t be exined on the phone clearly,


    and that this was the only way.


    "Jenna, how about we go home first? I''ve already called in a team of professionals from A city to


    treat Jerry. Let''s get out of this hospital," he said gently as he walked in.


    Jerry, who was in Jenna''s embrace, looked at him with a hint of a smile. Perhaps it was because he


    had bought him plenty of toys.


    Hansen was delighted. He reached out with his hand and caressed his tiny face, smiling at him.


    "Go home?" Jenna was finally awakened by what Hansen had said. Feeling enlightened, she


    understood everything. She felt at ease. However, when she heard Hansen mention leaving the


    ce, she became doubtful.


    "Yes, home." Hansen nodded reassuringly. "Jerry''s illness is still very serious, and the medical


    treatment here is too poor. I can''t let you stay here anymore. It will be better if you go home."


    "That''s all it is!"


    Seeing Jerry coughing so loudly, Jenna felt pain and sadness in her heart, and since Hansen had


    called in a professional team, she had no reason to object.


    He seemed not to have the intention of taking Jerry away by force. Otherwise, why would he call in


    a team of professionals? As she thought, she immediately lowered her head and spoke softly.


    "Hansen, I''m sorry. I''ve wrongly med you."


    Her voice was very low, and she looked embarassed. There were traces of guilt and shame in her


    eyes. Her weak body seemed to be unable to bear the blow as it was shivering.


    Hansen sighed and pulled her and Jerry into an embrace. He patted her shoulder lightly, not saying


    a single word.


    "Pack up your things and we''ll go." After her emotions had calmed down, Hansen let go of her and


    said softly.


    Jenna nodded. She ced Jerry on the bed, and began to pack her things.


    There were a lot of bits and pieces to pack. Hansen had wanted her to throw some away, but she


    picked up every single one of them in the end.


    There was nothing Hansen could do but to call for a car. The alley was too narrow, that only one car


    could pass through at a time. It was not a long distance, but when they got home, it was already


    almost dusk.


    "Miss Murphy." Upon getting out of the car, Aunt Lee quickly came out of the courtyard, looking very


    worried. "Jerry, are you okay?" That was when she saw Hansen, who was getting out of the car.


    She paused and greeted him with a smile,


    "Hansen." "Aunt Lee, you''re here?" Jenna was happy to see her return, and said, "Aunt Lee, you''re


    an elder, you should have told me beforehand that you wereing, so I can pick you up."


    Jenna could not bear seeing her that way.


    Upon hearing this, Aunt Lee felt uneasy and hastily said, "Oh my, Miss Murphy, after I heard that


    Jerry was ill, I got so worried that I wanted to rush here at once. It must have been hard for you,


    Miss Murphy."


    As she spoke, she took Jerry from Jenna and held him in her arms. Seeing that Jerry had lost a lot


    of weight, she said with distress, "Chubby little boy, it''s only been a few days, and you have already


    lost so much weight."


    "Don''t worry, I''ve already hired a medical team. Jerry will be as fit as a fiddle soon," Hansen said in


    a rxed tone as he opened the car door and grabbed the bags.


    "Is Jerry back?" Sara was sitting in the living room and heard noises outside. She walked to the


    door with her cane, and shouted.


    "Madam, Jerry is back." Aunt Lee hurried over with Jerry in her arms. Sara immediately smiled at


    Jerry, and with boundless love in her eyes, she asked, "Jerry, are you feeling better? Did you


    miss Grandma?"


    After going out and ying with Hansen for such a long time, Jerry seemed worn out, leaning


    against Aunt Lee''s body. After a while, he started coughing so hard that his face turned red.


    Right away, Jenna put Jerry''s things into the room and carried him into the house to feed him some


    water. She ced her hand on his forehead, and said in an uneasy tone, "Hansen, Jerry is still


    having a slight fever. He must''ve caught a cold today when he went out."


    "Quick, give him medicine." Sara became anxious after hearing about it. "He hasn''t recovered yet.


    How could he go out? He can''t be catching a cold now. All of you are really not sensible enough."


    Sara had an unpleasant look on her face. It became even more unpleasant when she saw Hansen


    carrying things into the room.


    Jenna recalled what she had said the other night. Sara was now very much against Hansen. At the


    moment, she was d that she had not disclosed the person who took Jerry out to y. If not, Sara


    would be even more upset.


    "Mom, here''s the medicine." She took the medicine out and distracted Sara''s attention away. Surely


    enough, she turned all her attention to Jerry.


    For the past few days, Jerry had been drinking the medicine so much that he was now sick of it.


    When he heard Jenna mention it, he knew what wasing. He immediately hid his face in Sara''s


    chest and refused to face them.


    When they had been in the hospital, Jenna could feed him at least some medicine, but now since


    so many people were doting on him, he probably wanted take advantage of it. He refused to take


    the medicine, not even a little, despite coughing so much and so hard that his face turned red. This


    made Sara insanely anxious.


    Hansen saw all of them pitching in to help but still couldn''t have it settled. They keptforting


    Jerry and had no idea what else to do. Hence, he walked towards them, and said to Sara, "Mom,


    allow me."


    Sara gave him a cold look and said in disdain, "Even we can''t handle it. Can a man like you be up


    to the task?"


    "I''ll give it a try," Hansen said calmly. He was very confident.


    Sara snorted. She didn''t say a word, but she did let go.


    Hansen carried Jerry in his arms, walked to the table, and picked up a toy car. "Jerry, do you want


    it? If you want it, then quickly eat your medicine," Hansen said.


    Jerry opened his eyes and they lit up at the sight of the toy car. He immediately stretched out his


    hands, but Hansen moved it away before he could even touch it. Hansen whispered into his ear.


    Jerry then bowed his head and fiddled with the hem of his shirt.


    The corners of Hansen''s mouth curled up as he walked over to Jenna and took the medicine. He


    scooped a spoonful of it and brought it to his mouth. Jerry opened his mouth and drank it.


    It was a miracle!


    Everyone in the room was amazed.


    The corners of Hansen''s mouth curled up even more. With Jerry in his arms, he sat down, and then


    he put Jerry on hisp. Jenna hurriedly walked over with the medicine.


    Hansen fed Jerry one spoonful of medicine at a time. Jenna was standing right beside him, with a


    towel in hand to wipe Jerry''s mouth, and cheering him on.


    What a brave little boy Jerry was. Even if the bitterness of the medicine made him teary, he would


    still gulp it down with his eyes closed.


    "That''s my boy," Hansen said proudly. After Jerry took his medicine, Hansen put him down and gave


    him a kiss before walking to the table to get him the toy car. Jerry epted it and started ying


    with the toy.
