Chapter 222: The Reunion (1)
At the parking area,
Inside the luxury van, James Phillips anxiously watched the main entrance of Autumn Garden Nursing Home. He was waiting for a signal from Abigail or Sawyer before entering the building.
However, his impatience grew significantly after ten minutes with no sign from them.
He wanted to rush inside to see Sophie, but Abigail’s warning echoed in his mind, holding him back.
"Relax, my friend..."
James turned to his best friend, Nathaniel, who sat beside him. He said nothing to Nathaniel but took a deep breath, trying to distract his troubled thoughts—worrying Sophie would refuse to meet him.
"Why do you look anxious, my friend? She won’t refuse to meet you if she knows you’re here. Relax..." Nathaniel patted James on the shoulder, trying to lift his mood.
Sitting behind them, Martha couldn’t help but chime in, "Yes, James. I believe Abigail could convince her grandmother to meet you. Moreover, I bet her Grandma will be willing to meet you. So, stop overthinking and stressing yourself out..."
James Phillips let out another deep sigh. He looked at them before replying, "Thank you, Niel, Martha. I don’t know why, but deep down, I’m worried she still hates me and will never want to see me again."
