“Say it.”
“Only one of us can stay in York. The winner can get the company and her, but the loser has to leave
alone.”
Sean spoke with a sharp face.
I thought Ming would lose.
Ming didn’t speak.
Sean looked at him and laughed, “uncle, are you scared? Are you afraid of losing money or her?”
Ming looked back at me and said, “OK.”
“No. I don’t belong to you. Why are you betting on me?” I was angry. I got up from bed and put on my
shoes and walked straight out.
“Becky.”
Ming seemed to want to chase me, but Sean stopped him.
I heard Sean say, “uncle, do you want to bet? You can chase her when you win.”
I was really angry.
How could there be someone like Sean!
I turned around angrily and walked to Ming’s side and looked up and put my arms around Ming’s neck.
I offered to kiss him and ask, “Ming, let’s get the marriage license.”
“OK.”
He did not hesitate at all.
“Uncle, you just promised me. Now you’re fouling.” Sean’s hands clenched as he spoke.
His face didn’t change, but his eyes were red as if they were on fire.
Ming ignored him at all. He picked me up.
Sean stopped him. “Uncle, don’t force me.”
“I said I don’t belong to anyone. Why do you bet on me? Did you ask me?”
I was in Ming’s arms and watching Sean.
“Master!”
During our standoff, the servant’s voice came from the direction of the stairway.
I jumped out of Ming’s arms.
Sean and Ming rushed to the stairs and went downstairs.
When I got there, I saw James lying at the stairway and looking pale.
I knew he had been listening to our conversation here for a long time.
“Don’t move. I’ll call for an ambulance.”
Ming said.
After all, Ming was professional. Sean didn’t argue with him and did what he said.
After Ming called an ambulance, the servant began to talk about the situation.
As I expected, James had been standing on the first floor just now. The servant wanted to stop us, but
he didn’t let him.
After a while, James fainted.
I stood upstairs and blamed myself.
If I hadn’t gone upstairs, it might not have happened.
I went downstairs step by step and said to the servant, “can you bring me a piece of your clothes? I
want to go to the hospital with them.”
I couldn’t go at all now.
“My clothes are cheap. You are too noble. You can’t wear it.”
I could feel the hostility in the servant’s eyes. It was obvious that she had just heard the conversation
upstairs and decided that I had seduced them.
“I have clothes in my car. I’ll get them for you.”
Sean said.
I was stunned by his words. I didn’t understand why he had clothes in his car.
But I didn’t have time to think too much at this time.
Soon Sean gave me a bag of clothes. I saw a suit in it, including underwear and underpants.
“I’ll change.”
I went to the room to change clothes with that bag.
I didn’t wear underwear, but I looked at the size and knew that Sean had prepared it for me.
Why did he prepare clothes for me?
Did he plan everything for today?
I couldn’t think and I didn’t want to think anymore.
I changed clothes and straightened my hair. The ambulance arrived a moment after I came out. The
paramedics moved James to the ambulance.
All three of us followed the ambulance.
On the way, James suddenly woke up. He opened his mouth and shouted, “Ming.”
“Dad, I’m here.” Ming grabbed James’s hand and comforted him, “don’t worry. We’ll be in the hospital in
a minute.”
James shook his head and looked at him. He turned and saw me.
He stared at me and said, “I’m going to give you an order today.”
I realized what he was going to say.
James raised his hand slightly and reached for me.
I quickly reached for his hand.
James grabbed my hand with one hand and Ming’s hand with the other, and then he put the hands of
the two of us together and said, “I’m sorry for two people in my life, one is Sherry and the other is
Ming’s mother, so if I die, I’m most worried about Ming.”
Actually, James already knew who I was.
He didn’t say it but I understand.
“Dad, don’t talk nonsense. You’ll be fine.”
Ming’s eyes turned red when he spoke.
Instead of responding, James looked at me and said, “Becky, Ming is a good kid. If you marry him, he
will treat you well. You will be very happy. So, I hope today you can promise me not to give up Ming.”
“Uncle Jessop…”
James’s words filled my eyes with tears.
He didn’t ask us not to break up, but let me not give up Ming.
Sure enough, James was the one who saw everything most clearly.
I could feel the strength of the hand he held my hand diminishing. I had a bad feeling. I nodded quickly,
“I promise you.”
“I hope you will always be together. I’m old now. When I look back, I know that marriage is not always
vigorous. Take your time.”
James said slowly.
His voice was hoarse.
Ming was a little worried. “Dad, please don’t say it.”
James didn’t listen. He looked at him and said, “Ming, what I did to your mother before is my fault. I
don’t expect you to forgive me. I hope you can be happy...”
“I didn’t blame you for that!” Ming grabbed his hand and persuaded him, “you must live well and come
to Becky’s and my wedding.”
“Sure.”
James nodded.
Sean sat by and said nothing.
He looked serious. He clasped his hands together and he frowned.
James leaned his head toward him. “Sean, you’ve been working hard all these years.”
“Grandpa.” Sean finally looked up.
James reached out and Sean immediately gave him his hand.
James said, “you’ve worked hard all these years alone. Others only see that the Giant group is
powerful, but I know you have paid a lot. Maybe we care too much about whether you are good or not
when you are young and neglect to educate you about other things. So we have today’s
consequences.”
“...”
No one responded to James.
We all knew what he meant.
“We’ve given you everything you wanted since you were little. We make you feel like you can get
anything easily.” James sighed. “The only thing money can’t buy in the world is emotion.”
