As soon as Scarlett Jennings finished speaking, the faces of the Jennings Family members present all changed.
Michael Jennings looked at Kingston Jennings in disbelief, while Adam Jennings stood up abruptly, his face looking very unpleasant.
Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings, along with others, also wore serious expressions.
Just now at the scene, Kingston had indeed spoken six words.
Given that his lifespan was already shorter because of the Child Life, if it were further reduced because of this...
Then undoubtedly, the household owed him.
"Scarlett, is there any way to make amends?"
If there is a way to rectify this, neither Luca Jennings nor the entire Jennings Family will hesitate to do so.
Although Kingston Jennings had been staying in the sanatorium due to poor health and was often like a transparent person in the Jennings Family, he was undoubtedly a part of them.
Even if Michael Jennings disliked this son, he would not want to see him die.
"With the Child Life, each year’s lifespan is something he must fight for himself. I will first help him with soul nourishment; only when his soul power becomes strong can the Fate Chart of the Child Life be broken."
Scarlett paused, then said,
"Additionally, accumulate merit."
The power of merit can to some extent counteract the negative impact brought by the power of word spirit; to some degree, it is also accumulating blessings and lifespan for oneself.
But merit is not something that can be accumulated just by doing good deeds casually.
Generally, it requires making significant contributions to the country or saving someone’s life and receiving their sincere gratitude to gain said merit.
Like military personnel of the country or someone who has done good for ten generations, the merit they accumulate can not only protect them in this life but even their next generations or reincarnation.
Applied to Kingston Jennings, actually the simplest way is,
"Donate money," Scarlett Jennings said, "and it must be done under Kingston Jennings’ name."
Luca Jennings, upon hearing this, immediately said,
"That’s not a problem. I’ll have someone establish a charity fund in Kingston’s name."
In this way, everyone who receives aid from the fund in the future will remember Kingston Jennings’ name.
As long as money can solve it, in Luca Jennings’ view, it’s not a problem.
Considering that Kingston Jennings previously took the risk of reducing his lifespan to help Scarlett, it is only right for him to do something for him.
Scarlett Jennings nodded, "Then the first funds for the charity will come from me."
Kingston helped her; since she bore a part of the cause and effect, she naturally has to contribute to him as well.
As Scarlett Jennings spoke, she suddenly looked at Michael Jennings,
"Second Uncle, as a relative, it’s best if you also donate."
Actually, whether he donates or not doesn’t matter.
Scarlett Jennings simply wanted him to spend some money.
Being suddenly called out, Michael Jennings met the focused stares of the Jennings Family, his mouth twitched slightly, but he still said,
"He’s my own son; of course, I will donate."
Donovan Jennings smiled upon hearing, "Second Uncle, how much will you donate?"
Michael Jennings was about to say a number, when Lucas Jennings suddenly said, "Second Uncle, since you’re the biological father, you should definitely donate more than my sister."
Scarlett Jennings said, "I plan to donate the first annual dividends from the shares given to me by Grandma and Chase Jennings."
Back then, the shares they gave her amounted to 3%. Excluding what Scarlett Jennings previously donated to the tremor zone, the dividends left over in a year are quite considerable.
Scarlett Jennings uses this money for donation, in a way, which is also to replenish the fortune lost by the two.
Michael Jennings initially wanted to mention a million, but as soon as Scarlett Jennings said that, he instantly felt a surge of blood at his chest.
It must be understood that after the divorce, he gave Odessa nearly half of the family property.
The remaining dividends divided again, it’s like cutting into his flesh.
But even with reluctance, being pushed by the younger generation to this extent, Michael Jennings could only painfully say,
"Then I’ll donate... donate a year."
Scarlett Jennings looked at Adam Jennings in front of her and simply replied,
"His destiny is indeed more challenging than average, but it’s not as fragile as you think."
Hearing her response, Adam Jennings did not seem to feel much relieved; instead, he asked,
"You mentioned soul nourishment earlier, is it difficult?"
Scarlett Jennings wanted to say it’s not difficult. Last time after confirming Kingston’s Child Life, she had already selected a jade and carved a talisman, now just short of the final step of awakening the jade.
But as the words reached her lips, she looked at Adam Jennings in front of her, suddenly changed her mind, and said,
"The jade materials needed for the soul nourishing talisman are special, and its crafting takes time. The best jade piece I currently have for making a soul nourishing jade is actually the Benedict Beast you previously entrusted me to make..."
Saying this, her almond eyes stared straight at Adam Jennings, softly saying,
"If you’re willing to give him the jade piece, he can immediately start soul nourishing."
Adam Jennings was visibly stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
His feelings for Kingston, this brother, had always been very complicated.
He resented that Kingston never treated them as family, sometimes treating outsiders better than his own parents.
He also resented that even though Kingston was the elder brother, he never acted like one.
However, despite his grievances, deep down, Adam Jennings still hoped Kingston would always be around...
The hesitation lasted only a second in his eyes, replaced by determination.
"If that jade piece works, then give it to him!"
Even though he sensed Scarlett Jennings’ jade piece could help him break the dream of the Benedict Beast, if that thing could save Kingston’s life...
He didn’t mind the dream’s persistent entanglement.
After all, it hadn’t made him lose anything over the years.
Adam Jennings spoke earnestly, and Scarlett Jennings looked at him, suddenly shifting her gaze from his face to behind him, saying,
"You heard that, didn’t you?"
