As the words fell, everyone looked at her.
Paige also raised her eyes to look, Blanca was sitting weakly on a chair, her back was slightly bowed, her palm kept pressing the location of the wound, her speech was a bit strained, “the Folsom family has gotten into this state today, whoever sits in that position of power next won’t be as united as before, instead of that, it’s better to let the old master decide for himself. .”
This was a reasonable statement, and the crowd fell silent.
“If you guys think that I’m disregarding the old master’s life, just feel free to come to me in the future and ask for the blame.”
Blanca continued.
She didn’t covet that position anyway, as long as they didn’t go pushing her daughter.
Hearing this, Brangelina said at the side, “I agree, the old master has been strong for his entire life, if he is allowed to die in a daze, I’m afraid he won’t be happy with himself.”
Jasper’s two daughters had stepped aside, so naturally the rest of them no longer had an opinion.
The matter was settled.
The people of the Folsom family temporarily built a courtyard out in a clearing, with green fake vines linked together, fake flowers moving in the wind, a few empty compost cages hanging above, a few stone slabs a few wine altars …
It was Beinice s suggestion, he said the old man s heart was most still when he stayed in River Town.
Paige stood pounding herbs and watched as the the Folsom family stood in unison to prop Jasper up in a rocking chair, and the old man wasn’t dressed in a suit, but rather in comfortable civilian clothes, plain and put-together.
She looked over and was suddenly reminded of the six months she’d spent studying at River Town.
It turned out that time never stood still.
She placed the medicine mortar on a small table to the side, lit a fine incense, and repeated the same steps as yesterday, removing the parasites that emitted a fishy odor.
The Folsom family all gathered around, each with red eyes and sorrowful eyes looking at the old man lying there.
After a long time, Jasper’s sunken eyes trembled and slowly opened.
Beinice immediately pounced over and knelt on the ground, “Father, my son is sorry, it’s all because of my son that I caused you …”
The two sisters, Brangelina and Blanca, stood together, standing behind Beinice.
Seeing this, Paige silently exits and walks behind the group, standing next to Enrico.
Enrico takes her into his arms.
Jasper lies in a rocking chair, his face old and wrinkled like a furrow reflecting the years.
He looked up above his head with cloudy eyes, watching two light compost cages sway and shake in the wind …
“Paige …”
Who did not expect that Jasper, when he opened his mouth, was a non-child, calling for a child from another generation.
Hearing this, the crowd looked back, and the ones in the way automatically made way for Paige to appear in everyone’s line of sight.
She was leaning against Enrico’s arms, a face with little expression and little emotion in her eyes.
After a few moments, she stepped forward.
Beinice rushed to her feet, grabbed her arm and pulled her to Jasper, bowing her head, “Father, Paige is here, she saved THE Folsom family, she saved us all.”
Jasper lay there looking at Paige, his eyes moist, “I’ve never been wrong about you …”
Not wrong, just sorry for her.
Always sorry for her.
“I promised Kelsey I’d come on this trip.” Paige trailed off.
Jasper lay there, looking at her and then to the people of THE Folsom family behind her, one by one, they had arrived.
He then realized he had come to his final stranger.
“Who did this?” Jasper looked over to the winepress not far away and let out a laugh, “It’s so fake, River Town winepresses don’t look like that, do they Paige.”
Brangelina looks aside and orders someone to get a chair, pulling Paige down.
“…”
Paige had some unspoken feelings about how she had become the one listening lately when she asked the old man to say some last words.
She sat down, turned her eyes to the wine jar, and said, “River Town’s wine jars really don’t look like this.”
“Do you remember the flavor of River Town’s homebrew? How I don’t remember some of it very well.” Jasper asked, breathless.
Paige listened and said, “River Town’s wine is on the sweet side, but it has a great aftertaste.”
Hearing this, Jasper laughed again, “I remember, that time you soaked in my stash day and night, I told you to take a break, you said you couldn’t sleep, so I coaxed you to drink, and you drank some, got drunk, and lay there on that cold stone floor, and kept calling … whoever’s name you were calling. ”
Paige lowered her eyes to look at him, Jasper is really not working, before he is not physically tough, but his brain has been very clear, not losing young people.
But now …
“Oh yeah, Enrico, that’s him you’re calling.” Jasper said thinking back to the past.
Enrico, standing under the fake vines, suddenly raised his eyes at the words and looked straight toward Paige.
“Enrico, that’s a mean angle.” Jasper muttered the name, “Keeping this one alive is bound to get in the way of my THE Folsom family.”
“…”
He remembers the past again.
the Folsom family crowd looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were a bit hard to bear, the old man’s thoughts were so confused, could he still leave some sober last words?
“Master, this is all in the past.” Someone gently reminded him.
“The past?” Jasper lay there mumbling and repeating, “I let Brangelina go to The Gustin family’s villa in the past, this child has had ideas since she was a child, but she was stupid enough to fall in love with Jeremiah, and once Jeremiah died, she was ruined, and it was hard for her to accomplish anything. ”
“…”
Brangelina stood there stiffly, the name “Jeremiah” alone was enough to make her breath tremble.
“Beinice is obedient, but unfortunately his qualifications are mediocre, no matter how much I train him, he’s like an elm, he can’t get the hang of it.”
Jasper said to himself.
Beinice lowered her head with a face full of remorse.
Jasper said and added, “Blanca is smart, her hands are also good, the three siblings are the most joyful, I counted on her the most, who could have expected that this unproductive girl, actually lost her own child.”
“…”
Blanca stood back, listening and averting her face, her eyes reddening.
Jasper lay low, “One wrong move and the whole game is lost …”
Hearing these words, Paige’s gaze shook and she looked down at Jasper, seeing that there was clear pain and regret in his cloudy eyes.
She suddenly realized that Jasper wasn’t accusing anything, he was regretting it.
He regretted every single thing he said, regretted letting Brangelina go to The Gustin family’s villa that year, regretted being too harsh on Beinice, regretted demanding too much of Blanca and losing the child, and regretted … having used her from the beginning.
The Folsom family crowd stood there, just listening to Jasper keep mumbling the same sentence.
One son is wrong, all the plates are falling rope.
“Master …”
Someone called to him in a mournful voice.
Jasper lay there and smiled, “What are you afraid of, afraid that I’ll just go and not give you guys an explanation?”
Disgusted that he talks too much, right?
“Old master, we didn’t mean that.”
“Old master, you have to get better.”
The crowd said one after another.
