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.”
