Hearing Jaime’s words, Pedro was stunned for a moment and then scoffed, asking him:
-What do you want me to do?
Jaime thought he had accepted his advice, so he hurriedly replied.
-I want you to ask your family to look for my twin brother, and then….
He put his finger on his neck.
Peter was surprised by his ferocity, and frowned.
-How can you be so cruel? He is your own brother, in whose artery flows the same blood as you.
He even dared to kill his twin brother?!
Jaime had no emotion.
-Why not? He’s my own brother, but I’ve never seen him. It’s impossible for me to see him as my brother,” he said with a frown. Now he’s trying to take my place in the family. I will not allow all my efforts to be ruined by him-never!
He gritted his teeth terribly, as if what he said had really happened.
Peter stared at him and suddenly asked:
-What if he never wants your family’s property? Now only your grandfather is looking for it, but he hasn’t seen it yet. How can you be so sure that he will take your property?
These words seemed very strange to Jaime.
“What nonsense is he talking? Everyone wants my family’s large estate.”
What he said was the truth.
Even rich people like them wanted to get the Seco Family’s property, that’s why Jaime’s brother, who wandered since childhood, would greedily try to appropriate it like a hungry wolf.
However, there was something that seemed strange to Pedro, he thought Jaime was too cruel. Even when he hated Jaime very much, he never thought of killing him.
Cooperating with people like him would be too dangerous, and it would be possible for Jaime to kill Pedro after he came to his end.
Thinking about this, Pedro calmed down.
-I can help you find him, but I won’t kill him.
Jaime nodded when he heard this. It seemed that he would not force him to do that.
In fact, his purpose was to kill the man before his grandfather found him.
-Happy cooperation,” Jaime extended his hand with a smile.
Peter looked at him for a long time before he shook his hand. However, long eyelashes covered Jaime’s eyes, which made it impossible to see his expression.
Thinking Pedro was very easy to fool, Jaime was so excited that he didn’t notice his abnormality.
After the two reached a “consensus,” Jaime raised his hand and looked at his watch.
-I have to leave the company and I won’t be back in the afternoon. If something happens, help me deal with it.
Peter nodded in confusion. The two went in the opposite direction as they left the office.
As he was about to reach his office, Peter stood still and his chaotic brain was much clearer. Looking back in the direction Jaime went, he smiled bitterly.
Pedro was a compassionate person.
He wasn’t going to do anything against Jaime’s grandfather, he didn’t even want to make him desperate. Since he wanted very much to find his other grandson, it was impossible for him not to help him.
He wanted nothing from the Seco Family, and he would even love to become Alfredo’s tool, as long as Alfredo was happy.
He did not forget that Alfredo was his only master.
Jaime did not return to the company all afternoon, as he said.
Until the evening, he took a big bag and went back to the house.
His grandfather was having dinner. When he saw him return, he raised his head and asked him:
-Have you had dinner yet?
-Grandfather,” Jaime stopped and greeted him respectfully, “not yet.
He lifted the bag in his hand, continuing:
-Grandfather, the doctor had told me that your liver was not well, so I asked him to prescribe some medicinal herbs for you. I’m going to cook them for you now. You can take them after dinner.
When he heard the word “medicine,” the secretary next to Alfredo raised his head sensitively without Alfredo saying anything.
The secretary continued to restrain his emotions. In fact, he would want to hit Jaime when he walked in the door.
The secretary was always very vigilant against Jaime, thinking that his ambition would definitely be detrimental to Alfredo.
When he heard that he was going to cook the medicinal herbs, the secretary laughed coldly, assuming that this time Jaime would not be able to hide his purpose.
Seeing Jaime’s obedient and filial appearance, the secretary looked serious.
-“Senorito, it should be prescribed according to the disease. The doctor you found has not diagnosed Mr. Alfredo. How can he prescribe the medication casually?
Jaime made an effort not to get angry, and then explained softly:
-It is not a therapeutic drug and only serves to strengthen the preventive effect. It can also be eaten with soup. Now grandfather has started to eat, so there is not enough time to make soup. Besides, my grandfather’s stomach is not well, so the medicine will not digest well if soup is eaten in the evening.
He spoke with an intelligent smile and looked at Alfredo’s face with respect.
If the secretary had not known those things, he would have been deceived by his filial appearance.
As the secretary was about to rebut, Alfredo stopped him.
-Well, let the doctor take a look. You are too cautious. Jaime is my own grandson, how can he hurt me?
As soon as he said this, Jaime unconsciously rubbed his fingers together. He was a little uncomfortable, but he tried to keep his face calm.
He even teased the secretary.
-Yes, my grandfather is right. I’ve always trusted him. Without his support I couldn’t do anything. How can I hurt him?
The secretary didn’t look well, but he immediately called the doctor.
The doctor checked the medicine brought by Jaime and then nodded to Alfredo and the secretary after a long time.
-There is no problem with the medicine. The dosage and the combination of each medicinal herb are perfect, which is very suitable for the elderly with bad liver.
This doctor was Alfredo’s confidant, and he never lied.
The secretary frowned and let the doctor leave.
Alfredo said to the secretary:
-Take these herbs to the kitchen. I will take them.
After saying that, he looked deeply at the secretary. He nodded and took the bag to the kitchen.
Seeing him go, Jaime said to Alfredo:
-Grandpa, I’ll change my clothes and come downstairs with you for dinner.
-Well,” Alfredo nodded weakly, “the shrimp, your favorite dish, are heating up.
Hearing this, Jaime stopped walking up the stairs and his heart trembled.
But in the end, he stomped on it and said to Alfredo as he climbed the stairs:
-Grandfather, you are so kind to me. I’ll be right back.
It wasn’t until his figure disappeared that Alfredo sighed.
He felt farther away from Jaime, the boy he raised.
Alfredo went to the study after dinner. When Jaime saw the servant carrying the prepared medicine, he quickly took it in his hand.
-I will take it to him. The medicine is a bit bitter, so I’m afraid my grandfather can’t drink it, so I’m going to persuade him.
When the servant heard this, he smiled.
-You are very filial. The Lord will be very happy if he hears that.
-I hope so,” Jaime smiled warmly, carrying the slightly warm bowl to Alfredo’s room.
When Jaime entered, he saw Alfredo reading. He gently placed the bowl of medicine on the desk and whispered:
-Grandpa, it’s time for you to take your medicine.
The secretary was at Alfredo’s side. Hearing this, someone else’s words came to his mind inappropriately.
“Grandpa, it’s time for you to take medicine.”
Immediately, a horrible shiver went up his back.
Alfredo kept his head down, fiddling with the book in his hand.
-Well, put it there. I’ll drink it when it gets cold.
-Grandfather, it’s better to take the medicine when it’s hot for the best effect,” Jaime told him.
Hearing this, Alfredo raised his head.
-You seem very impatient to see me take it?
A shiver ran down Jaime’s spine. He was so impatient that Alfredo was even suspicious of him.
He calmed down quickly.
-I’m thinking of your health. The medicine must be bitter. I will bring something sweet to relieve the bitterness of the medicine.
Jaime left the room after he finished saying this.
A little later, Jaime brought sweets into the room, seeing Alfredo taking the medicine as he was reading. No more than 10 minutes passed when he finished drinking the whole bowl.
Jaime clenched his fingers. When he sighed, he felt a little regretful and uncomfortable not knowing what happened.
