Chapter 3597
After finishing the meal, Jasper got up to go to the restroom.
When she returned, she found that William was no longer in
his seat.
She looked around strangely and saw William outside the shop on the roadside, seemingly talking to the two elderly
garbage pickers she had seen before. After a moment, William opened his wallet and took out all the money inside,
handing it over to the two old men.
Two elderly people took a while to take the money, while William turned and left. The two elderly people seemed to
shout something, but Jasper didn’t hear anything because of the glass and the distance.

“Okay,” she replied and followed him out of Deer Tower and
into the car.
As the car drove towards the Barlow House, Jasper asked, “By the way, those two elderly scavengers you gave
money to seemed quite pitiful. I wonder if they have children. They looked quite old, with gray hair, and they were
digging
through the garbage in such cold weather…”
Jasper’s words were just casual conversation, but William’s face suddenly changed, with a hint of panic in his
expression. “You…did you see it?”
“Well, I saw it when I came back from the restroom,” Jasper said, noticing that William’s face didn’t look right.
“What’s wrong? I’m not going to judge you. I also think those two elderly scavengers are quite pitiful. There’s
nothing wrong with giving them money!”
“Is… that so?” William murmured.
“However, giving them money is only a temporary solution. Why not help them contact the government relief
center and see if they can arrange something to provide the two elderly people with a more secure life?” Jasper
suggested after thinking for a moment.
“No need!” William quickly said.
She looked at him strangely and asked, “Why not?”
“They should have already applied for government relief, but sometimes, government aid is just a drop in the
bucket,” he said.
“How do you know they’ve applied?” she asked in confusion.

“Just now, when I gave them money, we chatted a bit and they mentioned it,” he replied.
“Well, what if we think of another way to help them?” she suggested.
William took a deep breath. “Jasper, everyone has their own way of living in this world. If we try to help everyone
completely, we’ll never have enough time. We gave them money just now, and that should at least relieve their
financial worries for a while. We can’t be responsible for their entire
lives.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper let out a sigh.
Although his words may sound harsh, she also knows that he is speaking the truth.
That evening, Jasper stayed at the Barlow House.
