Chapter 868 - Forever grateful (1/2)

On the way to the hospital, Ashton and Yinhai kept convincing him to return back, which was very unusual of them. After arriving at the hospital, almost everyone who arrived after them kept asking him what he was doing there which was even more weird and suspicious. The unwanted feeling made him feel sour and grumpy.

”We will talk about that later.” Looking at Andrew, Zian added, ”He is awake and is ready to talk.

After taking a deep breath, Andrew said, ”Let's talk to him.”

…..

Inside the room.

When everyone entered the room, the doctor was checking Pulos' vital signs.

”Everything is normal but he needs to stay here at least for a week under observation,” the doctor informed,

After the doctor left, Andrew approached Pulos. ”You are lucky to be alive.”

Pulos slowly nodded his head. ”I know.”

”Why did you do that? Why did you take all the risk and leave that note?” Andrew inquired.

”I just did what I felt was right. I just followed my gut,” he stated.

”Weren't things working fine for you? You were with Lawrence, you were safe and maybe you were happy too. So why did you take such a big step?” Zixin curiously questioned him.

Looking at him, Pulos smirked, ”Who better than you knows your uncle? No one can ever be happy with him.”

”If you know that then why did you join hands with him? Why did you save him? Why did you leave with him?” Zixin inquired.

Turning his head to the other side, Pulos sighed in dejection. ”Because I had no other choice. I had to save Lawrence because he had once saved my life too.”

Pausing for a while, he explained, ”When I was young, I lost both my parents in a plane crash. After that, I had no one to look up to. I was lost, alone, dejected and had almost lost all my hope when Lawrence took me with him. He took care of me until I was big enough to take care of myself and after that, I left to live my own life. Then I started working under Andrew's father but his sudden demise shook me as well.”

Looking at Andrew, he added, ”Thirteen year old weak, vulnerable and lost Andrew reminded me of my old self. This is why I decided to help him just like Lawrence had helped me.”

”When Zixin attacked Lawrence, he somehow managed to escape and contacted me. For old times sake and for what he had done for me, I did not hesitate to help him. But I failed to understand what I was doing wasn't okay. Not only was I helping him but also doing everything he wanted to me just like a puppet,” he further explained.

”It was Lawrence who asked me to take help from Andrew to deal with you all but when he refused to help us and joined hands with you all, I had no other choice but to leave with Lawrence.” Taking a deep breath, Pulos closed his eyes. ”That was another mistake I made. Lawrence kept making me do inappropriate things and I did it no matter how I felt because I am grateful to him.”

”Then what made you change your mind and take such a huge step?” Guang inquired.
