It is up to him to determine whether it is genuine or fake.
On the other side, Brian and Jason were also discussing Jasper’s matter.
“You are really willing to let your daughter go through this setback,” Brian said. After all, with Jason’s ability, there are many ways to avoid such things, rather than letting the child face the cruel truth directly.
After all, in Brian’s opinion, this truth is a bit too early for a 10-year-old child.
“Even if it’s hard to let go, she still has to go through it. Since this has happened, it’s better to give her an early understanding of the situation, which might not be a bad thing,” said Jason.
“You can easily wait a few more years before letting her know,”
said Brian.
“But you also can’t guarantee that the harm she will suffer won’t be greater,” said Jason.
“In short, if it were my daughter, I wouldn’t want her to go through all of this at such a young age.” Brian couldn’t bear the thought of his own daughter being unhappy for so long, being betrayed and used by friends, and looking tearful and pitiful.
“Really?” Jason said with a smirk. “If Valda has a daughter this time, what will you do when she grows up and wants to be with a boy you don’t approve of?”
“Well, if I have a daughter, I will protect her and make sure she never suffers any injustice. And if she wants to be with a boy I don’t approve of, I have ways to make sure he never betrays her,” Brian replied.
“What about a son?” Jason asked.
“I’ll make sure to toughen him up and not spoil him too much,”
Brian said.
It was clear that Brian had a double standard when it came to daughters and sons.
“What if your son looks like Valda?” Jason asked with a smirk.
Brian fell silent.
If his son looked like Valda, he would have to think carefully about how to handle the situation.
Lawrence watched in bewilderment as his parents frantically packed their belongings into suitcases.
“Daddy, Mommy, are we leaving?” he murmured.
While everyone else was enjoying the festive season, his family was being visited by one debt collector after another.
He overheard his parents arguing and knew that Mommy owed a lot of money outside.
Auntie Grace had previously arranged for Mommy to slowly repay the debt, but Mommy went to borrow from loan sharks and gambled the money away.
As a result, they were left with nothing.
Daddy and Mommy had a fight last night, and he was in his room listening to their angry voices, too scared to say anything.
Today, Daddy and Mommy started packing, but… if he didn’t live here, would Jasper be able to find him in the future?
“Yes, we’re leaving, we have to leave quickly, or how will we repay those debts!” Wilona told her son,
“You go and pack your things.”
“But…” Lawrence hesitated, “Can I not move out? I want to stay here.”
“What are you going to stay here for, to become a beggar?” Wilona said unkindly.
Doran glared at his wife with resentment and said, “Why are you getting angry at the child? It’s all because of the trouble you caused. Why did you have to borrow from loan sharks when there are other places to borrow money from? Those people are dangerous and if you don’t pay them back, they will resort to violence!”
“I…I’m not doing this for the sake of our family!” Wilona argued, “I just want to make a quick profit and pay off those gambling debts. Otherwise, with so much money owed, how are we going to clear it all?”
“So can you pay off your debt now?” Doran said irritably, “We’re about to lose our home!”
“So, do you want me to be chopped to death before you’re satisfied?” Wilona snapped in frustration.
Doran was holding his breath, his face turning red. If his son wasn’t there, he might have started fighting with his wife again.
“We…we could go and ask Uncle Reed and Auntie Grace. They might be able to help our family,”
Lawrence said hesitantly.
In his opinion, as long as Uncle Reed and Auntie Grace are willing to help them, their family will definitely be saved!
“Go ask them? Ask them for what? Look at these past few days, have they let you go and accompany their daughter to play the piano? Last time when Jasper heard those words, the Reed family now looks at our family as if we are filthy, where would they still help us!” Wilona said irritably.
She really hates the Reed family.
If it weren’t for the Reed family refusing to help her repay the money and even saying they had no relation to their family, how could she not borrow from loan sharks?
“I’ll go ask Jasper for help, she’ll help me!” Lawrence said anxiously.
“The Reed family clearly won’t help us, what are you dreaming about?” Wilona said angrily. “Everyone outside knows that the Reed family has kicked us out. I told you to please Jasper, but what happened?
You didn’t please her and let her hear a few more words, and now she’s unhappy with our family!”
Wilona blamed all the mistakes on others, but never thought about her own problems.
Lawrence lowered his head and tightly pulled his clothes.
That day, Jasper left so sadly, he really wanted to stop her, but he didn’t dare.
It’s been so many days, and Jasper hasn’t come to see him again.
Although the piano teacher told him he could continue taking lessons there, he couldn’t learn with Jasper anymore because their schedules conflicted.
So, does Jasper really not want to learn piano with him anymore or listen to him play?
“Okay, hurry up and go clean up for me!” Wilona impatiently yelled at her son.
Lawrence slowly walked back to his room and began packing his things.
He is now leaving with his parents from here. He heard his parents say that they are leaving Emerald
City!
So when will he be able to see Jasper again in the future?
He thought for a long time, and finally hesitated for a moment. Then he took out paper and a pen, wrote a letter, and placed it on the desk.
He hopes that in the future, if Jasper comes back to find him and sees this letter, she will be willing to forgive him and understand that his sudden departure was not by choice.
When he grows up, he will be able to support himself and do things according to his own wishes. He won’t have to stay if he doesn’t want to, but leaving will be his only option.
After packing up their belongings, Lawrence left home with his parents and took a taxi to the train station. Along the way, Wilona and Doran looked nervous, as if they were afraid of encountering debt collectors.
But Lawrence just kept his head down, holding in his arms the gift that Jasper had given him – a small house.
She said, “This is ‘home’.”
For him, that was his fondest memory ever, so even though he had to flee Emerald City with his parents, and even though the toy was not easy to carry, he still insisted on taking the little house with him.
Suddenly, he heard his mother’s exclamation, “What’s going on? We’re supposed to be heading to the train station, why are you driving this way?”
“This is a shortcut, there won’t be as much traffic,” replied the driver.
But the direction the driver was heading in was becoming increasingly off course, heading towards a sparsely populated area, completely opposite to the direction of the train station.
The couple Wilona exchanged a glance, both with a look of unease in their eyes.
“Stop the car, we’re getting off here!” said Doran.
But this time, the driver didn’t answer them. Instead, he drove the car even faster!
Now, the Wilona couple can no longer sit still. They have a vague understanding of what’s going on. Wilona even wants to open the car door and jump out, but she realizes that the door is already locked.
“Stop the car, quickly stop the car!” Wilona and Doran shouted loudly.
The driver finally spoke in a relaxed tone, “It’s only right to pay back what you owe. Running away like this goes against the rules of the road.”
The Abbott couple looked panicked. Even though they may not be the brightest, they understood what had happened.
Lawrence tightly held the small house in his arms, with a look of fear on his face.
At that moment, the car stopped in a dark alley, and the driver turned to the Abbott family and said,
“Okay, get out now.”
The Abbott family, consisting of three people, trembled as they got out of the car. Waiting for them were a group of fierce and menacing beings.
Lawrence only saw his parents and knelt in front of those people, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy, hoping that they would spare his parents this time.
But those people had cold and indifferent expressions on their faces.
The man in charge, with a cold and indifferent tone, said, “I only care about whether you can repay the money or not. If you can repay it now, then we can let you go. But if you can’t repay it, then you’ll have to beg Lord Yan. I can’t break the rules for you. Otherwise, everyone will know that they can borrow money from me and run away, and how can I continue to work with my brothers?”
Repay the money? Wilona and Doran don’t have the money to repay it now.
After hemming and hawing for a while, they also exhausted the other party’s patience.
The man in charge said directly, “Done.”
Next, Lawrence saw those people coming at him with knives, attacking his parents directly.
The parents were running away, and at this moment, the father was still protecting the mother, holding onto the person with a knife with all his might.
And the mother was holding his hand, running desperately towards the end of the alley.
The small house he was tightly holding onto in his hand… has already fallen, and his wrist has also been cut, it hurts a lot!
So painful!
When they ran out of the alley, he only heard his mother say, “Don’t look back!” He was stunned for a moment, and then his mother pushed him into a small river next to the mouth of the alley.
He fell into the water.
His swimming skills have always been good, he knows how to swim well. He understands that his mother wants him to swim away.
Next, he heard someone shouting, “That kid fell into the river!”
