Chapter 203

Other than Rowena, who was unable to leave the house due to a cold, everyone from the Jacobson family was present.

Ralph spoke up first. "Samuel, I've heard that you got hurt, so I purposely requested to return to my post in Rivertown to visit you. I hope that you can get well soon."

He held a high-ranking position within Jordanville. Even those high-ranking officials within Rivertown would still have to show Ralph some respect.

Despite his status and seniority, he remained humble and courteous as he spoke to Samuel, completely devoid of his authoritative status.

Samuel was caught off guard by Ralph's humility. He quickly supported himself with the bedframe and sat upright.

Looking slightly taken aback by the situation, he said, "Mr. Jacobson Senior, you're being too polite. I'm doing fine now. You didn't have to come all this way to visit me."

Caleb replied, "Samuel, this is a small token of our sincerity, and we'd hope that you'd take it."

With that, he handed him a bank card.

With Ralph taking the lead in the situation, Samuel had no way of speaking up against the Jacobsons in displeasure. He could only accept the card with a smile. "Then, I'd accept the gift. Thank you."

Caleb replied, "You're welcome."

Samuel had accepted the money, Ralph spoke up again. "Samuel, to be honest, there's another reason
