Chapter 27

When it came to David going to Gorshire, there had been some room for reconsideration initially, but not after all these things had happened. Now he had to go.

Now that the matter had been decided, plus his body suddenly drained of strength, he was no longer in the mood to go to college and spent his days loitering here and there.

Despite having gone to the hospital a few times for examination, no anomaly had been found, and both the doctor and the rest of the Taylor family felt that it was a psychological effect.

Because he was upset about having to go to Gorshire, he started having random thoughts and hallucinating that he had lost his strength.

Liam and the others were very disappointed in him, feeling that he had become a habitual liar, making up laughable excuses like getting weak to avoid going to Gorshire.

Who would get weak for no reason unless it was due to illness? And he had been to the hospital many times. Even the hospital’s dean had said that David was fine, so what was he whining about?

Thus, the last bit of sympathy that the rest of the Taylor family had towards him had faded.

At home, David felt so aggrieved that he could almost go mad. No one here believed him. Even Emma, whom he had trusted the most, was treating him half–heartedly now.

She had disbelief clearly written on her face, yet verbally, she said, “Okay, okay, don’t be angry, I believe you, alright? You’ve lost your strength and become a little princess…”

With a boom, David suddenly stood up. The movement was so drastic that it shook vigorously as he bumped into the table.

He really could not tolerate the child–coaxing tone that Emma was taking with him now.

Paying no more attention to her, David raked his fingers through his hair in frustration, then ran outside.

However, after running a few steps outside, he stopped again. Though it was clearly and infinitely open outside, he had a feeling of having nowhere to go.

Having realized this, David felt even more frustrated.

He had no other place to go!

At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

Picking it up, he asked, “Who?” He was in a terrible mood, so his tone was neither friendly.

“Hoho, who made Mr. William angry?” The voice from the other end sounded mocking.

David furrowed his brows tightly. He knew this voice. It was Jackson Clark, whom he did not get along well with back in school. Back then, Jackson liked a certain girl, and confessed to her with a lot of fanfare, yet in the end, the girl ignored him and pursued David right after that. Jackson felt that his dignity had been trampled upon.

How could Jackson take such humiliation? So he went straight to David for a showdown.
