After a brief silence, Alina tightened her grip on Robin's hand.

She fixed her gaze on Robin with a heavy heart, her eyes brimming with reluctance. She eventually forced out a wry smile and said, "You're the child I've raised for over 20 years.

"Although I'm really unwilling to let you go back to him, Chandler has made a valid point. In today's society, only those with status and position are treated with respect.

"My downfall was due to my lack of status and position. I don't want my daughter to face the same problem I did back then."

When Alina said these words, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"If you're listed in the Weiss family registry, Chandler will spare no effort to pave your way in the future. Since you're his only child, it'd be better for you to stay with him than with me.

"I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to provide you with a strong family background all these years."

As Alina spoke, tears kept streaming down her face.

    If Terence wanted to marry her, then he would have to bear enormous pressure from everyone in the family.  When Alina saw that Robin had fallen silent, her expression appeared conflicted. After that, she let go of Robin's hand and said, "If you don't agree to join the Weiss family, I'll never approve of you dating Terence even if I die. You'll never receive my blessing!"  Robin frowned and murmured, "Why are you making a big deal out of this, Mom? I was doing fine before without being part of the Weiss family, right? After marrying Terence, I can still be listed in the Weiss family tree."  Alina immediately replied solemnly, "It's not the same, Roo. It's not the same!"  Robin took a deep breath and responded solemnly as well, "It's all the same to me."  When Alina heard Robin's response, she immediately retorted, "Since it makes no difference to you, then why are you afraid of joining the Weiss family as Chandler's daughter? Are you afraid that once you join the family, Teren

    Terence gazed down at her, the gentle expression on his face no longer as aloof and unapproachable as before.  When she saw his gentle expression, Robin could feel his utmost attention and care.  She hummed in assent and said, "I got scolded."  At that moment, no one could understand Robin's complex feelings.  Robin's eyes were filled with despair as she looked up at Terence. She looked as if she was about to be abandoned at any moment.  As he observed her current behavior, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on Terence's face.  "Go on, tell me about it," Terence said as he sat down beside Robin.  Robin took a deep breath and murmured, "My mother is adamant about having me listed in the Weiss family tree."  When he heard this, Terence's expression remained impassive.  Robin cautiously looked at Terence as she said this.  However, when she noticed Terence's calm demeanor and how he was seemingly oblivious to the perceived threat, she felt an inexplicable sense of l

    Terence couldn't help but smile when he saw Robin's sheepish expression. After that, he slowly stood up from his seat.  When he got up, he glanced at Brian's ward and said meaningfully, "You should quit while you're ahead so that we can at least maintain our friendship."  With that, Terence strode toward the elevator.  Brian's face was ashen as he clenched his fists tightly.  He opened the door, his gaze coldly fixed on Terence as he walked into the elevator.  After Terence stepped into the elevator, he turned around and saw Brian standing in the corridor and staring at him. Brian's gaze was unwavering as he met Terence's gaze. It was as if he was trying to tell him that he would never give up on Robin.  Terence frowned as he looked at Brian's determined and taunting gaze.  Soon after, the elevator doors closed shut.  However, there was still a lot of tension in the air.  …  When Robin walked into the ward, her face was flushed with embarrassment.  Conner noticed

"Terence was too rough on me," he said."I haven't been able to go on any dates with pretty women because of this."Robin felt a twinge of embarrassment but quickly regained her composure. She smiled and said, "Terence actually cares a lot about your friendship. When I went to see him yesterday, he was quite upset about what happened."Brian's expression changed slightly when he heard what Robin said. He looked at her and asked seriously, "You went to see him?"Brian furrowed his brows.Seeing Brian's surprised look, Robin pressed her lips together and answered in a low voice, "Yes, I went to see him."She just admitted that she had gone to see Terence last night.Brian still looked surprised as he stared at Robin.

    When Robin turned around, Melanie saw no surprise on her face. She smiled and said, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."Ms. Sage, have you met my sister?"Robin shook her head slightly and replied, "No, I just saw Mr. Jenkins pushing her from a distance, so I guessed she might be your sister."Hearing this, Melanie's expression showed a hint of surprise. However, she knew Robin had always been perceptive, so she wasn't too shocked.As Robin spoke, she opened the car door and said calmly, "I have some business to attend to at the company.

    Alina's expression darkened when Jenny mentioned Lukas. She looked at Jenny seriously and asked, "You know Lukas?"A sudden realization seemed to dawn upon her, and her expression changed. "You're Lukas's girlfriend?"Jenny was surprised that Alina knew about her too. But that surprise quickly turned into a look of panic. "Mrs. Sage, you've misunderstood. Lukas and I haven't been in a relationship for a long time. We're just friends. How could we be a couple? I was just curious about Robin after hearing Lukas talk about her, so I wanted to see her for myself."Now that I've met you, I can see why Lukas thinks so highly of you. You're not only beautiful but also accomplished. It's no wonder he wants to marry you and can't seem to forget about you." Jenny's tone was amiable, with no trace of malice.Robin looked at Jenny with a warm expression. She smiled and said, "I wouldn't say that. The person Mr. Jenkins truly can't forget is you, Jenny."Most other men might have given up a

After all, their family backgrounds were similar, and their parents knew each other.Lukas was a good person, and they shared many common interests. Robin could even imagine them starting a business together as a married couple.Thankfully, Terence came to see her that night. Otherwise, she might have gotten entangled in the Jenkins family's problems."Mom, let's not dwell on the past."Conner quickly chimed in, "That's right. Let them handle their own issues. The Jenkins family's matters have nothing to do with us."Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. Before she could ask why, Conner added softly, "I want to return to Swiree."Robin was taken aback for a moment. Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel.

    Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly.

He looked somewhat weary."Mr. Collins," Robin greeted.Brian nodded slightly in response and walked over to her side.He whispered, "I heard that Aunt Alina isn't doing very well, so I came to check on you guys. Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we

    During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said.  Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and

    Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father

    Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together. Sure enough, Alina was already awake.Robin sat on the couch and felt a mix of emotions as she watched Conner care for Alina devotedly.Alina had finished her medicine for the day, and Conner needed to get her the newly prescribed medicine from the pharmacy. So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

    Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying.   "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again.  Robin went silent.  She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear.  Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it."  She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely."  As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call.  Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call.
