Henry’s phone began to ring. He moved to a corner, away from the voice, and responded to the call. Henry was surprised when he saw the number. “Hello, Kelvin.”“Henry, Mr. Potter is dying.” The caller supplied in a troubled tone. “What happened? Mr. Potter has always been healthy.” Henry replied. The caller sighed. “Mr. Potter is suffering from a heart attack. The location of his building was chosen by a developer who wanted to tear down the area and rebuild a factory. Mr. Potter disagreed but the developer used other means to achieve his aim and that was what led to Mr. Potter’s attack.”“How is he feeling now? What are the doctors saying?” Henry asked with concern in his voice. “I don’t know how to explain. You know I’m not educated so it’s difficult for me to communicate with the doctors. I just wanted to ask when you’ll be able to come.” Kelvin said. He wanted to say other things but he hesitated. Henry sighed. “I understand. I’ll go there as soon as possible.” He said and hu

“Yes.” June nodded and quickly pulled out her phone to reach Mr. Cross. Betty and the others were surprised about the fact that Greenville had no landing space. Even though it was a small town, it had a vast area that could be developed but that was a question only the government could respond to. “I want the highway cleared and a landing space created before we arrive,” Henry told June. She nodded again and relayed the information to Mr. Cross. After that, Henry and the others boarded the plane. A private plane was set aside for them immediately after Mr. Cross contacted the airport. The planes that were supposed to take off remained still for Henry’s private plane to take off. The managing director of the airport had no idea who Henry was and why Mr. Cross wanted an emergency plane set for him but he could tell that Henry was a very powerful person. After Henry’s plane took off, the pilots on standby were set to take off. They couldn’t afford to offend such a big shot. “Sir,

Henry sighed and turned to Kelvin. “What did the doctor say?”Kelvin was about to respond when Mr. Potter’s weak voice was heard. “Henry, is that you?”Henry and Kelvin immediately turned around. Mr. Potter had opened his eyes and was now struggling to sit up. Henry rushed to his aid.“I’m fine.” Mr. Potter said with a weak smile after seeing the concerned look on Henry’s face.Henry watched Mr. Potter closely. The man had aged rapidly in the last three years. His eyes had developed bags underneath. His lips looked dried and he had lost a lost of weight. Also, his hair was as white as snow. Henry could tell that Mr. Potter was trying to pretend that he was fit when it was clear that he was struggling.Soon, tears began to well up in Henry’s eyes. He clung to Mr. Potter’s arm. “I’m back.”“Yes.” Kelvin acknowledged with a nod.&nbs

After the door closed, Dr. Rita narrowed her gaze to the bundle of stacked cash placed inside the suitcase. She roughly counted the money and realized the total sum of 2 million dollars.Dr. Rita was so stunned that she was already gasping for breath. In a small town like Greenville, two million was enough to secure a big house. She immediately slammed the suitcase shut and yanked it from the table.As far as Dr.Rita was concerned, Mr. Potter was just a poor and helpless old man who relied on collecting trash and selling scraps his entire life so where did such a rich child come from?Dr. Rita was restless. She placed her hands on his hips and pressed her lips into a thin line. The imposing manners Henry had just displayed in her office was not something an ordinary person could have.

Mr. Potter was worried over the fact that Henry might get into trouble.Henry reached Mr. Potter and sat beside him on the bed. He then looked down at him with a warm smile. “Mr. Potter, I am successful so it’s time to repay you. Your illness can not be treated here but that’s nothing to worry about. I’ve already contacted the best hospital and made arrangements. You’ll stay there until you’re treated.”Mr. Potter sighed. “Henry. You don’t have to make the matter look simple. I already know that I have stomach cancer and it’s in the late stage so don’t waste your little money on me.”“Mr. Potter. Money is not important to me now. I just want you to be alive and remember, I haven’t fulfilled my

Henry then asked Kelvin to get into the car and sit. Kelvin nodded and went back into the car. He leaned back on his seat and fell asleep in a short while. Kelvin had been so recently exhausted. Taking care of Mr. Potter at the hospital and supporting Hailey to care for the younger kids was a very difficult task. Among the children that Mr. Potter adopted, Henry, Kelvin and Hailey were the oldest. The rest were around eleven to eight years old. Henry went into the car and mounted the driver’s seat while June followed behind with the rest of the team. After driving for about twenty minutes, Henry pulled the car down the street. As he swerved the car toward Mr. Potter’s yard, Henry noticed the changes that had occurred during his absence in the last three years. There were houses that had been demolished and were now in a state of ruin. Looking closely at the ruins, Henry noticed that the neighborhood had lost its charm.

“Okay.” Kelvin replied. Although he doesn’t understand why Henry wanted to gather everyone at their home at such a time, he hurriedly went out and began to knock from door to door. The residents of the neighborhood had a huge respect for Henry. So when Kelvin told that Henry was home and he needed to see them urgently, they all obliged. So far, Henry was the only kid in the neighborhood who had gone to the city for a university education. Most of the kids finish at high school level and start doing menial jobs to survive. They couldn’t afford a university education and none of them secured a scholarship.Meanwhile, the kids were not quite familiar with Henry after seeing them that night. Most of them had a vague memory of him but after seeing the way Hailey melted toward him, they could tell that he was family.
