Chapter 979: Arriving at Dexas!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Originally, Connor had planned to return to Dexas alone, but Thomas was worried about his safety, so he arranged for Carlos to accompany Connor.
Although the current Connor is no longer the same as before, he felt that having Carlos by his side would provide an extra layer of security. Therefore, he did not refuse in the end.
Connor’s hometown was in Dexas, which, like Porthampton, was under Davenport
However, it took at least half a day to travel from Porthampton to Dexas, so Connor and Carlos chose to take a train back, which would save a lot of time.
Sitting in the train compartment, Connor looked at the fleeting scenery outside the window, feeling a mix of emotions.
Years ago, Connor arrived in Porthampton alone by train and started his new life.
Six years had passed, and everything had changed in the blink of an eye.
Connor had thought that he would never be able to return to Dexas again because the place held too many painful memories for him.
But he never expected that he would eventually come back.
If there were something in Dexas worth cherishing for Connor, it would be the people from the Sassman family.
the Sassman family had a longstanding friendship with the McDonald family. Connor’s father, Dawson, and Hugo from the Sassman family were very good friends. So when Connor was young, he often went to the Sassman family to play. Connor was very close friends with Jerrico and Wynona, Hugo’s son and daughter.
But later, due to the death of Connor’s parents, he came to Porthampton alone, and he lost contact with Jerrico and Wynona.
“I wonder how Uncle Hugo and Jerrico are doing now…”
When Connor thought of the people from the Sassman family, his furrowed brow finally relaxed, and he sighed softly.
“After arriving in Dexas, I should go and see Uncle Hugo and the others. Otherwise, I might not have a chance to see them in the future!”
Connor had originally planned to go directly to the McDonald family in Dexas to clarify the past events. However, now that he remembered the Sassman family, he decided to visit them first.
After all, the current Connor was not the same as before, and if the Sassman family needed any help now, Connor would definitely be there to assist them.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
After Connor and Carlos got off the train, Connor stood in front of the station, looking at the bustling streets, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. He never expected that he would truly return to Dexas.
“Mr. Connor, it’s getting late. Shall we go to the hotel and rest for the night?”
Carlos said softly to Connor.
“No need, I want to see my friends. You go back to the hotel and rest!”
Connor turned his head and glanced at Carlos, speaking softly.
“Alright then!”
Carlos nodded slightly and didn’t insist. He chose to leave directly.
On the other hand, Connor hailed a taxi and found the villa where the Sassman family used to live based on his memory. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But when he arrived at the villa where the Sassman family lived, he discovered they had already moved. Helplessly, Connor called Thomas because Connor also had company in Dexas. So there was no problem for Thomas to help Connor find the whereabouts of the Sassman family.
Soon, Connor obtained the current location of the Sassman family from Thomas.
It was already six o’clock in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually getting dark. However, Connor chose not to go back to the hotel and instead found the villa where the Sassman family currently resided.
When Connor saw the new villa of the Sassman family, the anxiety in his heart finally subsided.
Initially, he thought the Sassman family had moved because something had happened at home. However, after seeing the grandeur of the new villa, Connor felt relieved. It was evident that the Sassman family had been doing well in recent years.
After a moment of hesitation, he walked directly towards the villa and gently pressed the doorbell.
“Ding dong…”
“Ding dong…”
After ringing for a while, a middle-aged woman who looked like a nanny came out and gave Connor a cautious look. Frowning, she asked, “Who are you?”
“I would like to see Uncle Hugo…”
Connor replied with a smile.
“Are you here to see Mr. Hugo? He’s not home right now. Come back tomorrow!”
The nanny replied curtly and was about to close the door.
“Auntie, can I know when Uncle Hugo will be back? If he’s not at home, are Jerrico and Wynona here?”
Connor stopped the nanny and asked anxiously.
After seeing that he seemed to be familiar with the Sassman family’s situation, the nanny thought he might not be a bad person, so she spoke up, “Mr. Jerrico has been sick lately and has been in the hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Sassman haven’t been home for two months. If you really want to see them, go to the hospital!”
“Jerrico is sick?”
Upon hearing the nanny’s words, Connor’s eyes widened, and his face showed surprise.
“Oh…”
The nanny sighed softly and continued, “He has been sick for a while. Who exactly are you?”
“What kind of illness?”
He asked the nanny urgently.
“I’m not sure about Mr. Jerrico’s specific illness…”
The nanny replied helplessly.
“Do you know which hospital he’s in now?”
Connor continued to ask the nanny.
After hesitating for a moment, the nanny took out a pen from inside the house, wrote down the hospital where Jerrico was currently staying on a piece of paper, and handed it to him.
“Thank you!”
Connor glanced briefly at the note and then turned around and left.
Originally, he thought he would be able to meet Jerrico, Wynona, and the others, and he was in a good mood. However, upon hearing this news, his facial expression began to complicate.
Connor knew that since the Sassman family hadn’t returned for such a long time, Jerrico’s condition must be very serious; otherwise, the Sassman family wouldn’t have stayed at the hospital all this time.
But he couldn’t understand why Jerrico, who was perfectly fine, would fall ill.
With these doubts in mind, Connor hailed a taxi and hurried to the hospital where Jerrico was currently admitted.
