Chapter 199 Did Lincoln Buy It for You?
“Mr. Gladstone, are you really alright?” Elsa was very worried.
“Yes, Mr. Gladstone, are you really going to be discharged?” Andy was also worried.
“You two have been working for me since you were children. You should know I’m not a liar. I’m really fine. Why should I lie to you?” Marlowe smiled helplessly.
As he spoke, Marlowe chuckled and urged.
“Andy, hurry up and get me discharged. The pungent smell of the disinfectant here is hurting my throat.
“Elsa, I heard Lincoln and that girl are also in the hospital. Go and invite them over.”
“Okay.”
Andy and Elsa answered together, and they left the ward one after another.
Marlowe took out an old-fashioned pocket watch. Under the watch was a black and white photo of three people.
It was blurry, yellow, and old, but Marlowe could recognize the three people.
“Tim, Brandon, Jason, the three of you are gone. I am left alone.
“All these years, I have traveled all over the country with a photo of us. Fortunately, that group of people didn’t manage to track me down or make a move on me.
“I thought that after so many years, I finally got rid of them. But to my surprise, on the first day I arrived in Houston, they found out about my whereabouts and could not wait to attack me.”
Marlowe sighed heavily.
“If the four of us hadn’t gone on that quest that year, I wouldn’t be alone now.”
Marlowe looked at the photo with a sorrowful expression, tears streaming down his face.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Russo is here,” the bodyguard’s voice came from the door.
Marlowe immediately wiped his tears, closed his pocket watch, and hid it under his pillow.
“Let him in.”
With that, the door opened.
Simon entered the ward. Eden, who was following behind him, carried all kinds of tonics and placed them on the coffee table before getting out.
“I came to pay my respects on behalf of my father.” Simon nodded with a smile.
Marlowe’s expression suddenly changed.
Simon noticed it and realized Marlowe wasn’t happy to hear about Palmer.
However, Simon knew Palmer used to be Marlowe’s favorite student. What had happened?
Marlowe quickly revealed a kind smile. “You shouldn’t have brought so many gifts. But thank you, Mr. Russo.
“Come to think of it, you are my savior. I want to thank you for saving me. In the future, if there is anything I can help with, please let me know.”
Simon slightly shook his head and replied, “Mr. Gladstone, you are mistaken. The person who saved you was Zayla.”
Realizing Simon had no intention of taking credit, Marlowe felt he was different from his father.
It seemed the rumor of Simon and Palmer’s being on bad terms was likely to be true.
Then, Simon chatted with Marlowe for a while before leaving the ward.
Simon was going to find Zayla, but he was surprised to meet her in the corridor!
Simon looked down and noticed the pair of sports shoes on Zayla’s feet.
The pair of shoes was a limited edition of a famous brand, exactly the same as the shoes he bought.
Ha, who bought it for her? Was it Lincoln?
Zayla wanted to leave the hospital, but she didn’t expect Elsa to find her. When she heard Marlowe wanted to see her, Zayla came over.
Zayla felt she should wait for Lincoln at the door of the sick room with Elsa.
Zayla could at least avoid Simon so that they didn’t need to talk.
Zayla pretended not to see anything and moved to the left.
However, Simon also took a step and blocked her path again…
