Mr Avi asked Jason " I met him this way after I got back from my classes six days ago,I guessed it was nothing serious until I saw how serious he was bleeding so he was rushed here" Jason replied still a little shocked,he didn't know if he should tell this man the truth."What about the injury he suffered before this assault?" Mr Avi asked,his eyes could literally split fire if it was possible at this rate."He worked at a restaurant,he got into a fight with someone and the person sent many people after him who hit him badly,he spent two weeks before he was discharged " Jason replied.Mr Avi quickly brought out his phone, dialed a number and the other party pick up immediately."Prepare a ward at the hospital,the young master will be moved over in a few minutes, it's a little serious.

    Even though he was quite shocked by this discovery,he was also excited about the fact that all his suffering is about to come to an end,he didn't even realize he was smiling until Mr Avi smiled back at him, jolting him out of his thoughts."I will look around myself for now" he said and Mr Avi nodded " we didn't know your style of clothing,your height or your size so in each room you will find different sizes and style of dress,you can change out of the patient dress after freshening up,or would you like the maid to attend to this?" Mr Avi asked."No" Lyon replied within a sec, he's used to dressing up himself and he didn't have much clothes anyway so why would he want someone to help him dress up,it sounds weird and even unreasonable to someone like him who have many things to do in a day, waiting for someone to prepare his bath then choose clothes to dress him up sounds stressful to him.Mr Avi nodded in understanding and Lyon quickly went into the house, looking around from the kit

    The old man was shocked by the sudden outburst of anger from his grandson and looked at him with a raised eyebrow as if asking why he cursed so loudly and with so much anger all of a sudden ."Oh,I also heard he was actually in the same city as you,he ran there so he can have his freedom, away from his father. Bastard" the old man sneered."We were both third year students" Lyon corrected and the man raised an eyebrow but Lyon didn't explain anything to him,he just continued gnashing his teeth angrily.They talked for a while longer and soon Lyon left the villa with his securities and the old butler who was nearly sweating buckets when he realized Lyon actually cursed so loudly in front of the old master."We should return back to the city tomorrow,I don't like it when I miss classes," Lyon said and Mr Avi nodded without questioning his decisions. …..That night,Lyon decided to actually spend the night at a hotel so they easily went straight to the airport the next m

    After Lyon went back to his hotel room,he went to take a bath while Mr Avi waited with new clothes for him to change into after his bath."Are you angry?" Mr Avi suddenly asked and Lyon looked up " no,why should I be? I've been treated worse than that anyway"he laughed and Mr Avi sighed " it was my fault,I should have at least given you a gift"Mr Avi replied."It's ok,I was just shocked that those two have such a bad temper,I mean they are two people born into a rich family,they should know how to be calculative,they are not as I expected" Lyon shrugged."Anyway, I've to go back tomorrow,so how's my stepmom?" His lips curved into a sneer "the old master is pressuring your father to divorce her, recently her son lost a lot of money at a casino again,more than a hundred million actually"Mr Avi said and Lyon's eyes widened in shock."Jasper is such a spendthrift??"
