Chapter 281 The Severed Finger Will Grow Back Soon!
In the end, Fiona's countless words turned into a long sigh.
On William's last day with the Watson family, he went to the Jones Manor first to check on the Frostcrystal Grass.
Since it was the weekend, Fiona and Jasmine stayed home, waiting for his return.
When William got back, Fiona spoke up, "William, let's get going. I'll take you shopping for clothes and essentials!"
William didn't refuse; he didn't want to turn down Fiona's kindness.
They spent the next half-day running around several large department stores.
Fiona bought a lot of clothes and daily necessities. Since William was leaving, she felt the only way she could help was to buy him more things to ease her guilt.
Jasmine tagged along, swiping her card to pay. She was happy to help with whatever William needed today.
"Fiona, that's enough! I can't wear all this! You've bought me enough clothes to last for years!"
Seeing that Fiona was still shopping like crazy, William reached out to stop her.
"I..." Fiona was at a loss for words, looking at William with guilt.
"But William, besides buying these things, I really don't know how else to help you!"
Tears finally fell from Fiona's eyes. "I thought that when you came to me, I could take care of you and give you a carefree life forever! I never imagined it would turn out like this..."
"It's all my fault! I couldn't take good care of you like your mother wanted! I'm so guilty..."
"William, I'm sorry! Not only did I fail to take good care of you, but I also didn't raise you well, and now I have to let you leave... I'm so ashamed..."
All the repressed emotions of the day burst out at that moment.
Although she was completely disappointed in William, he still felt like a son to her. The fact that she hadn't fulfilled her role as a "godmother" made her feel deeply guilty.
Jasmine was stunned for a moment.
If this continued, Fiona might decide to keep William, and that couldn't happen!
After waiting for half a month, they couldn't let everything fall apart now.
"Mom, it's okay. You're talking like it's a final farewell... You'll still see him in the future. Who knows, maybe he'll have a better life after leaving us?"
Her timely words calmed Fiona down.
William smiled and said, "Fiona, you don't need to blame yourself. You've been good to me! I've always seen you as a real mother."
Fiona, moved, held his hand tightly.
"But, Fiona, this is all I can do. Make Hope Pharmaceutical the top in Starlight City!"
William also felt guilty. He had wanted to make Fiona the Pharmaceutical Tycoon of Eldoria, but for various reasons, it didn't happen.
Upon hearing this, Fiona and Jasmine were both stunned.
So Hope Pharmaceutical's dominance in Starlight City was because of William?
Unbelievable!
Jasmine, who had felt a bit guilty before, lost all sympathy upon hearing this. Such a person didn't deserve it!
Fiona took a deep breath, also speechless.
At this point, did William's words even matter?
She didn't expect William to repay her, but taking all the credit for himself was a bit much.
Still, she played along, "Alright, William, it's all thanks to you..."
"Fiona, take good care of yourself! Believe me, not long after I leave, your finger will grow back!"
William added.
Fiona's severed finger had mostly recovered its nerve function, and he believed it would start regenerating soon.
However, the finger had been severed for twenty years, and it had taken too long. Otherwise, it would have healed already.
After all, he had personally used high-grade ingredients to make the Regenesis Ointment. Once it started regrowing, it would be fast.
Mentioning this again, Fiona and Jasmine's expressions changed.
It's been several months now, right?
The severed finger hadn't shown any signs of recovery at all.
