Tang Xiaonan and Patrick had been waiting for a while, but Jim Thorne still hadn't returned. Patrick brought Tang Xiaonan over to look for him, and from far away, they heard the booming voice of his hopeless younger brother. Patrick couldn't help the corner of his mouth from twitching. 'If Grandpa heard this, he'd definitely break Jim's legs.'
'Of all the things to talk about, he just had to bring up Grandpa's health. That's the one thing Grandpa can't stand hearing about.'
"Jim, what happened?" Patrick Thorne asked as he walked over, holding Tang Xiaonan's hand.
Jim Thorne looked up, gave them a quick wink, and blurted out, "Cousin, I'm going to jail... Take this medicine back to Grandpa for me. Don't tell him the truth. He's an old man; he won't be able to handle it..."
'I just told them I came alone,' he thought. 'Can't let them blow my cover.'
