"No." Jared Hughes rejected mercilessly.
Cage Hughes couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He, playing the role of a father, asked his son for money and was refused. "If you dare refuse me, I'll stir up trouble at the Russell's, and Betsy Russell will definitely give me money!"
"I'll give you!" Jared said coldly.
Only then did Cage leave the sickroom satisfied.
When Grandpa Hughes woke up, he gazed quietly at Jared's face and said weakly, "Jared, stay."
Upon hearing Grandpa Hughes say this, Isa Hughes sneered; she already knew that Grandpa Hughes only valued Jared the most. Thus, she and Fanny Sabir left the sickroom together.
Steward Martin was the last one to leave the sickroom, not forgetting to close the door.
Only Jared and Grandpa Hughes remained in the sickroom.
"It was deliberate on Betsy's part!" Grandpa Hughes said with certainty.
