It was not as if he had the right to say anything about Jackson's decision when Jackson's parents had agreed with him.

“This is your choice. Do whatever you think you have to do. I just hope you don't regret it,” said Shane indifferently.

“I won't because I know I'll only regret not going,” responded Jackson, shaking his head.

“When are you leaving?” inquired Shane as he continued to gaze at Jackson.

Jackson smiled and answered, “Three days later. I've already packed my things and submitted my resignation letter.”

“Will you ever come back?” asked Shane because even though they were no longer close, they used to be good friends.

He could not help but soften up when he heard that Jackson was going away soon.

When Jackson sensed that Shane's attitude toward him had changed, his smile grew wider. “Yes, I'll be back when needed, but I won't stay long. I'll be traveling and helping others in the future until I'm old. Maybe then I'll return for my retirement.”

After Shane nodded in response, the two walked the same path Stanley took.

Meanwhile, Justin was sitting on the hospital bed with his back leaning against the headboard, slowly taking a sip from the glass of water he held in one hand while tapping the keyboard of his laptop with the other.

Suddenly, the door to his room opened.

Justin thought it was the nurse making her rounds, so he did not move his gaze away from his laptop.

Looking at Justin, Stanley ridiculed, “It seems I didn't hurt you badly enough.”

His face hardened as he watched Stanley approach him. “You?”
