all the money to treat his injury.

Hence, they struggled to make ends meet. In the end, Hudson had to steal Jonas' crops to make a living.

However, luck was never on Hudson's side. Jonas had run into Hudson right when he was at his paddy field.

Jonas took Hudson into custody and beat him up until he was on the brink of death.

In the end, Hudson's father, who had broken his leg, had to get on his knees and beg Jonas to be merciful. Only

then was Hudson set free.

Zeke was curious because it had been years since they last ran into one another, yet Jonas had shown up out of the

blue in front of him.

Did he come to me for help?

Jonas had a contorted smile on his face when he saw all the equipment Zeke had with him. “Zeke, aren't you an

undergraduate from a famous university? Why are you working at the construction site?”

“Don't worry! It's an amazing job! After all, an undergraduate student's wage might not surpass those of a

construction site worker!”

“I need to repair my house too! Perhaps you can take care of it on my behalf? If that's the case, I shall contribute to

your business as well!”

It seems like he's not here to ask for a favour...

Zeke asked bluntly, “May I know what brings you to me today?”

Jonas nodded, “It's about Hudson! I mean, I'll have no intention to pay you a visit if everything was fine, right?”

“As we speak, Hudson's parents are heavily bedridden. They need someone to take care of them, but I heard

you've sent Hudson away for treatment.”

“Since Hudson isn't around, I need you to take care of his parents on his behalf. I'm afraid they might not pull

through if they're left alone!”

Zeke raised his head and looked at Jonas in the eyes, while he lost himself in his thoughts.

He had his doubts and couldn't help but suspect Jonas's intentions when he heard what the man told him.

Indeed, Jonas tried to avoid Zeke's gaze as he felt guilty.

He probed once again, “Are you going to take care of his parents or not? If you're not going to, give me some

money! I'll get someone else to look after them!”

“After all, you're the one who sent Hudson away! You have to be responsible for his parents!”

Zeke replied with a smile, “Hudson is an important friend of mine. His parents are just like my parents! I'll follow

you.”

“Lacey, I'll drop by to visit the parents of my friend. Remember to finish your meals on time. Don't tire yourself,

okay?”

Lacey nodded in return. “Mm. Don't worry about me. If the outskirts' medical facilities aren't up to standards, let's

take them in. We'll check them into Oakheart City's hospital and take care of the medical bills.”
