Chapter 317 Why Do You Recognize Money?
"My mom is... I'll take you to see her in a few days. I'm sure you have a lot to say to her." Sarah wiped away her tears. "Rest for now, and I'll take you to buy a couple of outfits later. You've been wearing this set for a while now."
For her mother's sake, Sarah was willing to accept the man who was meant to be her father. It was a means of easing her mother's years of regret.
Victor wiped away his tears, secretly laughing in his heart when he saw Sarah accepting him, but there was no trace of satisfaction on his face.
He held Sarah's hand. "My daughter, clothes aren't important. What's important are those debts."
"What debts?" Antonio asked in surprise.
Sarah remembered that when they first met, Victor had told her that he owed a large debt and was being chased by someone.
“I landed myself in huge debts during my attempts to prove that I could be successful through investments, but I fell into someone's trap. Daughter, you must save me. We can't be separated as soon as we've just reunited," Victor continued, crying and even attempting to kneel down before Sarah.
Sarah quickly had someone support him. "I understand, don't worry. Leave the debt issues to me. You should get up first."
"Really? Do you really forgive me?"
Sarah felt a bit helpless. Since she had already chosen to accept the test result, she would naturally bear all the consequences of acknowledging him.
After all, he was her biological father. Even if he couldn't be the ideal father, they should at least get along harmoniously.
"Yes, get up."
Antonio frowned the whole time, feeling that something was off.
There was no resemblance between Victor and Sarah.
Moreover, they had just reunited and already begun talking about repaying debts. What would happen in the future? What kind of excessive demands would he make?
At that moment, a nurse hurriedly ran over and finally sighed with relief when she saw Sarah. "Mrs. Valencia, there you are! Please come to Mr. Jerrett's ward quickly. He has been shouting to see you."
Sarah composed herself. "I'll go over now."
Their main purpose for coming to the hospital today was to accompany Kevin.
The group arrived at Kevin's ward, and a smile appeared on his face as soon as he saw Sarah.
"My precious daughter, I finally get to see you. Where have you been?" Kevin affectionately held Sarah's hand and took out a piece of candy from his pocket. "This was specially left for you by Daddy. Try it."
Sarah's heart warmed. "Thank you, Dad."
Victor, standing outside the door, heard Sarah calling Kevin 'dad' and was about to question Kevin when Antonio stopped him.
"Don't go and disturb them."
Victor clearly understood what was going on. After all, he was the person Serene herself had brought in.
"I understand, Mr. Valencia— Oh no, son-in-law. Don't worry, I am sensible."
When Victor called him son-in-law, Antonio frowned but couldn't refute him.
Just then, Antonio received a work call and went to a corner to handle it.
Victor walked in and didn't approach him; he just sat leisurely on the sofa, nibbling on an apple.
"Sarah, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Someone has already arranged it." Sarah massaged Kevin's arm.
Kevin was in a confused state and didn't pay attention to Victor's presence. Instead, he stared at the time, then suddenly sat up.
"Daughter, what do you want to eat for lunch? Dad will cook for you. It's already lunchtime must be starving."
Sarah quickly held Kevin down. "Food has already been ordered. It'll be here soon. Don't worry."
"Well then, if anyone dares to starve my daughter, I won't let them off." Kevin finally relaxed and lay back on the bed.
Victor smirked at the scene. "This old fool."
Sarah furrowed her brow and warned, "Watch your words. He is the chairman of the J&K's Group."
"I know, I know. I was just thinking how hard it must be for you to take care of him. I don't know if he gives you any money."
"Why are you only concerned about money?" Sarah was a bit angry but didn't want to argue with Victor in front of Kevin. "Why don't you go back for now? You don't have to worry about the debt. I'll handle it after I'm done here."
"No rush, no rush. I'll take a nap first." Victor, who had been drinking all night, was already tired and started snoring while curled up on the sofa.
Sarah felt a bit cold-hearted. How could her mother have fallen in love with such a deadbeat?
…
Fortunately, Victor didn't cause any trouble in the following days. He just occasionally called for some pocket money, which wasn't a big problem.
Antonio dropped Sarah off at the hospital.
"You don't have to worry about Victor's matters. I'll be at the J&K Group for the next few days. Though the shareholders seem well-behaved on the surface, I'm always afraid of them causing trouble behind my back. Just stay in the hospital, and I'll pick you up after work."
Today, there was an emergency meeting at the J&K Group, and Antonio needed to go to the company early to oversee everything.
Naturally, Sarah arrived at the hospital earlier than usual too.
"Alright, don't worry. Nothing will happen to me."
Sarah smiled slightly and entered the hospital with her breakfast.
However, when she entered the ward, she found out that Kevin wasn't in the room.
Sarah hurried outside to check on Kevin. With his senile dementia, he often wandered off, and she couldn't risk anything dangerous happening to him.
"Nurse, where is Mr. Jerrett?"
"Mrs. Valencia Mr. Jerrett is in the recreation room playing chess with another patient. They seem to be enjoying themselves.
“Mr. Jerrett went for rehabilitation therapy, don't worry."
"Rehabilitation therapy?"
Sarah squinted, not recalling Kevin mentioning any rehabilitation therapy for today.
Moreover, what kind of rehabilitation therapy required an early morning visit?
