The Blackwood staff carefully arranged the expensive gifts, nutritional supplements, and fruit before quietly withdrawing from the room.

The space around Randolph’s bed was crowded with visitors.

Every member of the Blackwood family was present, except for the elderly Lady Blackwood who was confined to bed with a winter cold.

Lord Blackwood Sr. spoke first: “Randolph, when I heard of your injury, I immediately requested leave from Westminster to come to London personally. I do hope you make a swift recovery.”

Lord Blackwood Sr. held considerable influence in political circles; even London’s highest officials would treat him with profound respect.

Andrew Blackwood spoke up: “Randolph, please accept this small token of our concern.”

He stepped forward, presenting a bank card.

With Lord Blackwood Sr. having set such a conciliatory tone, Randolph could hardly express any grievances he might harbor. He accepted the card with a smile. “I appreciate this. Thank you.”
