Chapter 27: Wilson, What About You?
Wilson's car headed straight to the villa of the Wilson Mansion.
It took some twists and turns to arrive at the main house. At this time, chrysanthemums were blooming but Wilson had no intention of appreciating them. After he stopped the car, he entered the most central building.
"Mr. Wilson!" The butler and some servants greeted Wilson when they saw him.
"Where's Grandfather?" Wilson asked anxiously.
"He is on the second floor. The family doctor is examining him," the butler answered.
Wilson immediately hurried up the stairs. He entered a room on the second floor.
There were many people standing around the room, including Wilson's parents and his sister. Wilson's uncle and his cousins were there too. There were two other women standing beside his male cousins, presumably their girlfriends.
"Wilson, you're back?" Wilson's uncle greeted him first.
"Yes, Uncle." Wilson nodded his head politely. He swept his gaze across his two elder cousins. Unsurprisingly, they looked back at him with jealousy and hatred.
"Wilson!" Wilson's mother, Sophie quickly pulled Wilson to his grandfather's bedside. "Grandfather was afraid that you can't arrive on time!"
"Of course I can!" Wilson immediately bent down and held his grandfather, Lincoln's hand. "Grandfather, I'm here!"
The elderly man needed additional oxygen therapy at the moment, and two doctors were busy fiddling with medical equipment to examine him.
When Lincoln heard Wilson's voice, he opened his eyes and gripped Wilson's hand. He struggled to focus on Wilson with his dim vision. "I'm fine now. This time, I managed to survive again. The Grim Reaper knew that I can't rest in peace if I were to go now, so he gave me more time!"
"Grandfather!" Wilson's heart ached. He knew what his grandfather was worried about. The older a person was, the more they desired to see their family grow in numbers and to leave a legacy. The whole Family seemed to be harmonious on the surface, but his wish for great-grandchildren had not been realized.
Lincoln had two sons and a daughter. When his daughter was young, she died an early death. His two sons grew up and became successful. They grew Wilson Group from a small workshop into a large organization.
Twenty years ago, Wilson's grandmother passed away. Lincoln was devastated but he threw himself into his work for Wilson Group's business, he didn't have much time to be sad.
As he grew older, he became more nostalgic. As the affairs of the Wilson Group were handed over to his children and grandchildren to manage, Lincoln had more and more free time. With so much free time, he could not help but ponder on matters such as the past and the future.
In the past, his days had been busy, but his family was happy and harmonious. Now, he was idle and he could afford to buy anything he wanted. However, his beloved wife was gone. Thinking of the future, he worried about how long he had to wait until his grandson get married, and until he has great-grandchildren. What's more, how would he continue his legacy with Wilson Group?
He had two sons, three grandsons, and two granddaughters, but he didn't have any great-grandchildren.
Among the three grandsons, Lincoln expected the most from Wilson. He had brought Wilson up, and he knew that his intelligence and character were the most outstanding among his three grandsons. Seeing that his family had all arrived, Lincoln asked the servants to support his body up with pillows. Wilson immediately helped him to sit up.
Lincoln addressed his family with a smile. "I am old and useless now. Sorry for troubling everyone to rush back!"
"What are you talking about, Grandpa? You're not old!" Nancy Scott, the only daughter of Wilson's uncle, smiled coquettishly.
"I'm almost eighty years old. I'm tired of living at my age, my only wish is to see you get married soon!" Lincoln replied.
"Grandpa, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you!" Nancy came closer to the bed and said playfully.
"Nonsense!" Lincoln was amused by her antics. He looked at his two other grandsons, Lucas and Colton. Seeing the two women beside them, he greeted them with a smile and said, "Get married early, so that I can see my great-grandchildren!"
"Grandfather, we will do our best!" Lucas and Colton said in unison. After that, they shot a glare at Wilson.
"Good, good!" Lincoln said happily. He turned to Wilson and looked at him hopefully. "Wilson, what about you?"☐☐☐☐☐
