Life at the Top

It was in the hospital when Jasper saw Jim again.

Covered in blood, Jim was lying weakly on the hospital bed. He had just regained consciousness after receiving emergency treatment.

When he opened his eyes and saw Jasper, Jim asked hastily, “Jasper, my wife…”

Jasper pressed Jim down and said, “Don’t worry, she’s fine. Her injuries are less severe than yours. They’re just superficial wounds. The doctors are treating her wounds as we speak.”

Jim breathed a sigh of relief.

“Dad!” A teenager squeezed through the crowd and walked over while choking with sobs.

Jim consoled his son and said, “I’m okay.”

Jim spoke to his son for a while before sending him out to check on his mother. He then turned around to say to Jasper, “I’m sorry you had to make this trip, Jasper.”

Jasper said, “I should be the one feeling sorry. You’re in trouble because of me. I didn’t know where you were, but someone called the cops in the end. It was only after the hospital called me that I rushed over.”

Jim sighed and said, “I was about to pick up my son from school today and planned to invite you over for dinner. I didn’t expect this to happen. It’s the Combes, huh?”

Jasper did not intend to tell Jim about the Turners lest he felt more pressured.

“It’s not the Combes. I’ll take care of this for you. They won’t give you trouble anymore.”

Jim said to Jasper seriously, “I think these people are trying to warn you, that’s why they attacked me. These people can do anything. You must be careful.”

When Jasper saw how sensible Jim was, he said earnestly, “I’ll pay attention to that. The doctor said you need to be hospitalized, so while you’re recuperating in the hospital, I’ll ask Julian to take your son to school and pick him up after.”
