Joanna Lawrence blinked, and when she was sure she wasn’t seeing things, she exclaid in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Frank Parker replied, "I ca to the hospital to visit a patient, of course."
That was not the answer Joanna wanted to hear.
She furrowed her brows and stared at Frank Parker, then looked up at her father Benjamin lying on the hospital bed, "Dad, do you know him?"
Benjamin nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude, "Joanna, Mr. Parker is my benefactor. He has helped a lot. If it weren’t for Mr. Parker’s help, the Lawrence family’s company would have gone bankrupt long ago."
Joanna Lawrence was stunned, furrowed her brows, and turned her head to look at Frank Parker, "What is my dad talking about? You helped the Lawrence family? When did that happen?"
Joanna had no idea about this matter.
"It happened a long ti ago." Frank’s deep brown eyes flickered, not intending to elaborate, and he played it down, "It’s not really helping, The Parker family and the Lawrence family just did so business together. It was mutually beneficial."
However, Joanna didn’t believe this.
What could the Lawrence family’s company possibly offer?
Why would the Parker family and the Lawrence family do business together?
Truth be told, the Lawrence family didn’t even qualify to do business with the Parker family.
Anyone who could do business with the Parker family would not likely choose the Lawrence family.
So it must be as her father said, Frank Parker helped the Lawrence family.
Under the guise of doing business.
He just said that it happened a long ti ago...
Frank Parker definitely wouldn’t help the Lawrence family for no reason.
Joanna imdiately thought of sothing.
"Mr. Parker, you have been a great benefactor to the Lawrence family, so how can it not be considered help? If it weren’t for your investnt in several of our businesses, our company would have closed down long ago. I will rember your kindness to the Lawrence family for the rest of my life." Benjamin’s face was full of gratitude when talking about Frank Parker’s help.
At that ti, the Lawrence family’s company had problems.
No one was willing to help.
It was Frank Parker who extended a helping hand in ti, rescuing Benjamin from his dire situation.
Though Benjamin knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
There must be a reason why Frank Parker helped him.
But he was still very grateful to Frank Parker.
He had always regarded Frank Parker as his benefactor.
Joanna and Frank Parker looked at each other for a mont, then she turned and walked towards the outside, leaving a sentence behind, "Frank Parker, co out, I have sothing to ask you."
Benjamin wanted to scold his daughter for talking to Frank like that, but he saw that Frank’s face showed no displeasure, and he actually followed Joanna out imdiately.
Benjamin watched the two walk away, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Frank Parker’s first eting with him was because of Joanna.
That day, he asked so strange questions.
Later, he actively helped the Lawrence family several tis.
Benjamin also recalled that Frank had said he would leave soon, but now, he showed no intention of leaving.
Combining all these details, Benjamin slowly ca to a possibility.
Could it be that Frank Parker was interested in Joanna?
*
Outside the hospital room, in the hallway.
After Joanna left her father’s room, she walked ahead for a while, and only stopped when she was a distance away from her father’s room.
Behind her, Frank Parker, who had followed her, also slowly stopped walking.
Joanna turned around.
She raised her head, her brow furrowed, "Frank Parker, what were those things my father was talking about? Why did you help the Lawrence family?"
