I couldn't accept this and could only pin my last hope on Mark Johnson's son.As long as he could help me,there might still be a turning point.After much persuasion,Mark Johnson finally agreed to accompany me to Emily's hometown,hoping that his son would help us for his father's sake.
On the plane,I looked at Mark Johnson and asked curiously,"Why didn't you take your son to live with you and left him with Emily?"Mark Johnson's face darkened.
"Damn it,how would I know whose son he is?I named him Jack.All these years,I haven't treated him badly.I send Emily ten thousand dollars every month to take good care of the child."
I smiled and said,"You really are something!You named him so casually."Mark Johnson opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but finally didn't.
My car was parked near the airport before.I drove him to Emily's house because I had met Jack here twice in a row.
I called Jack several times,but he didn't answer.We had no choice but to squat at the intersection and wait for him to appear.
The sun set behind the mountains.A man with a dark face came over.It was Jack.Judging by his outfit,he must have just come off the construction site.I blocked his way and pulled Mark Johnson over."Jack,your dad came to see you.Let's find a place to have a good talk."
Jack didn't respond and walked around us to continue walking.I still didn't give up and grabbed his arm.He turned around and stared at Mark Johnson.
"Did you and Emily ever care about my life these years?If it weren't for Uncle and Auntie,I would have starved to death long ago."
Mark Johnson was unhappy when he heard this.He grabbed Jack's collar."Who didn't care about you?I don't even know if you're my son.I'm like a fool sending Emily money every month.Ten thousand dollars a month.Isn't that enough for you?You ungrateful little brat!"
Jack got angry when he heard this.He forcefully broke free from Mark Johnson's hand and pointed at him."Damn it,you're my son!I even transferred a hundred million to you!"
Mark Johnson was so angry at his words that he rolled up his sleeves and planned to teach this disrespectful son a lesson.I stepped in to stop him."Show him your monthly transfer records."
Mark Johnson took out his phone and searched for the monthly transfer records of ten thousand dollars to Emily.After Jack saw them,he didn't say anything.He stood there and looked at Emily's house,then motioned for us to go to his house to talk.
He didn't live with Emily but in a small basement,about seven or eight square meters.His wife was sitting on the bed,with a crooked mouth and drooling.She even breastfed the baby in front of us.Through their conversation,I finally learned how Jack grew up.
