Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Seeing You Again, Still Blushing Part 1
“What’s the matter? Scared?”
Greg Jensen wasn’t in a hurry, sitting placidly on the sofa, observing the father and son duo across from him.
A moment later, Wallace Carter gritted his teeth and abruptly raised his head, saying, “Mr. Jensen, may I make a small request?”
“Go on.”
“If one day, our Carter Family runs into trouble, I ask that you please save the lives of my two sons.”
Greg Jensen looked at Wallace Carter, silent, his gaze icy.
Feeling his scalp tingle under that look, Wallace Carter still straightened his spine and met Greg Jensen’s eyes.
After a brief pause, Greg Jensen nodded, saying, “I agree. No matter what happens, I’ll keep them safe.”
“Good, then I… agree,” Wallace Carter said through gritted teeth.
Greg Jensen looked at him with slight surprise and asked, “Not going to think it over?”
Wallace Carter smiled with a hint of ruthlessness, “I, Wallace Carter, also made my way up on these streets. I’ve been ready for anything. My only concern is these two sons of mine.
Since you’ve agreed to keep them safe, what else is there to consider?”
Greg Jensen nodded silently, then said, “Well, let’s get on with it quickly. I will have someone deliver the antidote as soon as I have it ready.”
“Alright.”
Just then, a knock was heard. Callum Shaw walked in with a smile, asking, “I’m not interrupting your discussion, am I?”
“Not at all, come in and sit,” Wallace Carter responded with a smile.
“Haha, is this the esteemed guest you mentioned… Greg Jensen?”
Upon seeing Greg Jensen, Callum Shaw was taken aback, exclaiming in surprise, “Old Carter, you can’t mean he’s the guest?”
“That’s right, Mr. Jensen himself.”
Wallace Carter spoke somewhat awkwardly, “Theo has been having some health issues. If it weren’t for Mr. Jensen healing him, we wouldn’t know what to expect.”
“You know how to heal?”
“A little.”
Greg Jensen had visited the Shaw residence before and had met Callum Shaw a couple of times. Having a fairly good impression, he said with a smile, “Uncle Shaw, long time no see.”
“Haha, indeed. It feels like it’s been almost two or three years since I last saw you.”
Callum Shaw, all smiles, took a seat and remarked, “I remember hearing about your incident back then. Vivian was so worried back at home; she even asked around for your whereabouts.”
“Yeah, I got injured at the time and went straight back to my hometown to recuperate.”
“Tsk. You should’ve at least told Vivian. On several occasions, I caught her wiping away tears in secret during the night.”
Greg Jensen was taken aback for a moment before smiling awkwardly, “Yeah, I really didn’t handle that well.”
“Ah, that reminds me, you’ve seen Vivian, right? She came to hang out today too.”
“Yeah, we came here together.”
Callum Shaw, adopting the posture of an elder, patted Greg Jensen on the shoulder, saying, “You young people should keep in touch more. We old folks can’t keep up with your pace anymore.”
The Carter father and son watched Callum Shaw’s gesture with some panic, as if his hefty hand was pounding on their hearts, making them tremble uncontrollably.
However, Greg Jensen appeared not to mind at all, smiling, “Uncle Shaw, you’re being modest. We need guidance from our elders to walk the path correctly.”
“You young man, you’re still such a smooth talker.”
“Uncle, I’ll leave you two to chat. I’m heading back to the private room.”
Greg Jensen stood up to leave, with Wallace Carter and his son hastily standing up to personally escort him to the door.
Callum Shaw thought Wallace Carter was being so respectful because Greg Jensen had healed his son, so he didn’t think much of it.
Wallace Carter didn’t offer any additional explanation, casually chatting away, but internally he was pondering how to minimize the risks of their investigation.
After chatting for a while, Callum Shaw also stood up to take his leave and drove back to his home.
It was only when he got home that he realized his daughter had already returned, and he couldn’t help but express his surprise, “Why are you back so early? Didn’t you have dinner with them?”
Vivian Shimpson seemed a bit downcast and snorted, “I get full just by seeing that guy, let alone eating dinner.”
Callum Shaw laughed, “Haha, when you can’t see him, you miss him, and when you do, he annoys you. What’s going on with you?”
“I’m just annoyed, that’s all.”
Suddenly, Vivian Shimpson looked up with a surprised face and asked, “Dad, do you know who I’m talking about?”
“Of course, Greg Jensen!”
Callum Shaw looked at his daughter with a chuckle, his eyes full of indulgence.
“How do you know it’s him? Have you met him?”
“Haha, not only have I met him, but I also had a chat with him. He’s a good lad, speaks appropriately and is very humble.”
“Good my foot!”
Vivian Shimpson didn’t want to talk about Greg Jensen anymore and instead asked, “Dad, didn’t you say Uncle Carter went to meet a very important client? Who is it that got him to rush back in person?”
“Haha, guess? You definitely won’t guess who it is.”
Callum Shaw had meant to tease his daughter but couldn’t hold back and started laughing, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. The person Wallace Carter wanted to see was actually Greg Jensen.”
“Greg Jensen? How is that possible?”
Vivian Shimpson was immediately shocked and couldn’t help but feel a bit doubtful.
Could Wallace Carter have been tricked too?
Callum Shaw said with some melancholy, “Yeah, I was quite surprised when I saw Greg Jensen too, but it turns out he cured Theo Carter’s illness. The Carter family now sees him as their benefactor.”
Hearing her father’s words, Vivian Shimpson’s expression instantly turned cold, and she snorted, “I see, he really is capable!”
The reason Vivian Shimpson said this was because she felt Greg Jensen had completely deceived Wallace Carter, but Callum Shaw thought she was talking about Greg Jensen’s ability to cure and save people.
Seeing his daughter lost in thought, Callum Shaw couldn’t help but smile and said, “Now you can relax. With his current skills, he might not be rich, but at least he won’t have any problems with food.”
“Him?”
Vivian Shimpson looked up in confusion, “Are you talking about Greg Jensen?”
She pursed her lips and snorted, “Would I worry about a big fraud? What a joke!”
“You’re just stubborn,” he said.
Callum Shaw smiled and asked, “Vivian, tell Dad, do you still like that Greg Jensen?
If you do, you should confess to him quickly. Don’t wait until it’s too late and then regret it.”
Vivian Shimpson’s face turned red, and she retorted, “Dad, what are you talking about!”
“Haha, a daughter is bound to leave her father, I understand. It’s your life, do as you see fit.
Living without regrets is the true happiness in life!”
Vivian Shimpson said, “Dad, I really don’t like him!”
“If you don’t like him, why is your face red?”
“I…”
Callum Shaw teased with a smile, shaking his head, and walked into his study.
Vivian Shimpson sat dazedly on the sofa, touched her cheek, and muttered, “Could I still like that scumbag?
Impossible! How could I like him?”
She shook her head, thinking of Louisa Burley’s gaze towards Greg Jensen, knowing her best friend must have feelings for Greg Jensen.
Her expression turned slightly cold, and she decided she needed to warn Greg Jensen when she had the chance, to keep him away from Louisa Burley.
