Chapter 379: 379. Grandpa has got your back_1

She looked at the Old Master and listened as he said, "You told me about those four years after you left the Jones Family, and some things about Adam."

Upon hearing the name "Adam," Elly instinctively thought of Adam Jones she had seen outside the hospital ward earlier, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

Seeing that she remained silent, the Old Master sighed and spoke in a grave tone, "A month after you left, he came looking for me. When I first saw him, he gave me quite a fright; the lad was in a terrible state of decay, without any energy or spirit. His eyes were full of red blood vessels. His assistant told me he was searching for you day and night like a madman, and when he finally couldn’t find you, he had no other choice but to seek my help."

"At the time, looking at the kid’s condition, I did feel quite sympathetic. But then I thought about how he treated you those three years, and I got angry, so in the end, I turned him away."

As he said this, the Old Master glanced at her and added, "Elly, I’m telling you all this not to make you easily forgive the lad, but don’t block all his ways out. I know you still can’t let go of him. Since that’s the case, give him an opportunity to make amends, alright?"

After a long while, she sighed and said, "Grandfather, I’m just scared..."
