Tyler was focused on his work in the study when Jean walked in."Tyler, it's time to take your meds," she said softly.Carrying the plate, she approached his desk and placed it there. Tyler lifted his head to look at her when he heard her voice. His expression remained unchanged as he gazed at her.Pursing her lips, Jean met his gaze calmly."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.Tyler's face remained indifferent as he said, "Are you here to sign the divorce agreement?"Jean sucked in a deep breath as a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes."Did you …" She wanted to ask Tyler if he had really forgotten about her.However, before she could finish, Tyler interrupted her."You arranged the wedding photos in my room, didn't you? I've instructed the staff to clear out all your belongings along with them. Kindly take them with you when you leave."Jean felt a surge of uneasiness as she observed Tyler's calm demeanor.However, she quickly held back her emotions and l
Coleen's face darkened slightly. When she saw how disappointed Dorian looked, she felt distressed."You haven't even completely recovered yet. The doctor advised you to rest at home," Coleen said sternly. "Who are you going out with that could be so important?"Coleen sounded incredibly displeased. She cast a disapproving glance at Tyler and continued, "Your wife and child are here. Where else do you need to go?"Tyler's gaze turned somber as he listened to his mother lecture him. "Mom, I'm not a kid. I know the state of my health very well. As for them …"He paused for a moment before adding, "They just feel like strangers to me."Dorian couldn't hold back his tears anymore when he heard that.Jean felt a surge of sympathy for her dear son when he saw this. She reached out and pulled Dorian close."Tyler, it's okay if you consider me nothing but a stranger, but Dorian's your son. How can you say that about him?" she said in a serious tone.Coleen was infuriated by Tyler's word
Jean watched the sports program play out on the TV with a faint expression.She had always thought that Tyler preferred watching financial news. It turned out that he liked watching sports instead. At the moment, the TV was broadcasting a soccer match.Dorian sat beside Tyler and chattered non-stop. He provided a bunch of commentary, saying, "Dad, I know that move too."When Dorian said that, Tyler finally shifted his gaze to his son. He looked at Dorian with a profound gaze before asking in a deep voice, "You do? Where did you learn it?"Dorian smiled with tears glistening in his eyes. "Dad, you used to teach me how to play soccer. You've taught me a lot," he said softly.Tyler was momentarily stunned. Looking at Dorian in his current state made Tyler's heart ache. Tyler started to feel a faint throbbing in his head all of a sudden. He immediately used a hand to cover his forehead.When Dorian noticed Tyler's furrowed brows and solemn expression, he immediately asked with
Taking a deep breath, Jean composed herself.Coleen looked at her pleadingly. Jean could only purse her lips and say, "Mom, I …"Before Jean could finish, Judy walked out of her room with a maid's assistance.Her health had been deteriorating day by day during this period.Upon seeing Jean, Judy immediately smiled and said, "Jean, you're here."Jean nodded and greeted, "Hello, Grandma."The maid noticed the smile on Judy's face, quickly adding, "Ever since returning from abroad, Madam Judy has not smiled even once. This is the first time she has smiled, and it's because she saw you. Madam Jean, please visit more often to liven this place up."Jean smiled faintly upon hearing this. She glanced over at Tyler at a distance."I would love to visit more often, but I think some people here might not want to see me," she said in a soft voice.Sighing, Judy said softly, "Jean, he's still recovering. We shouldn't confront him with too much. We'll have a proper talk with him once he get
Dorian mustered up all his courage to ask Tyler that question.Tyler furrowed his brows and fixed a deep gaze on the child standing beside him. He didn't answer, but the disdain in his eyes was clear to Jean.Jean sighed, looked at Dorian, and smiled calmly. "Dorian, let's go wash our hands. We're about to have dinner."Dorian looked at Tyler for a while. Tyler, who had been looking down at him, gently pushed him on the head."Your mother's calling you," he said softly.Dorian held Tyler's hand and asked, "Does that mean you're staying?"Sighing, Tyler replied indifferently, "Go wash your hands now."Coleen was relieved to hear that. Smiling, she approached Dorian. "Dorian, your dad won't leave. Go wash your hands now."Dorian nodded earnestly when he heard that, his face filled with joy."Okay," he replied.Jean reached out and took Dorian's hand in hers as she led him to the bathroom. When they came out, they saw that Tyler was still sitting on the couch. He really
"Tyler, how are you recovering so far?" Lilian asked.She walked slowly to Tyler's side, as if she were inquiring casually. Then, she took the seat directly next to him.Seeing this, Jean handed the gift to a nearby maid and returned to her own seat.Tyler looked at Lilian as she walked in. Only then did he start to eat. He replied, "It's been going well."His voice was still deep, but his tone was a lot lighter than before.At this moment, Lilian picked up her fork as well. Her gaze was fixed on Tyler as she asked with a pleasantly surprised expression, "Why are most of the food on the table what I like to eat?"Jean retracted her gaze and swept a casual glance over Lilian. "This is just what we usually have for dinner. Lilian, I think it must've been a long while since you've had a meal with your family," she said calmly.Hearing Jean's words, sadness flickered in Lilian's eyes. She said in a low voice, "That's true. It's been a while since I've had a meal with my family. It
Inside Larson Residence, Coleen went back inside after seeing Jean and Dorian off.Lilian was still sitting beside Tyler.At this moment, Judy shot her an indifferent glare and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to call it a day now."Tyler, your head injury hasn't fully healed yet. You shouldn't be staying up late either. Go back upstairs and call it a night," she added.Lilian instantly understood the underlying meaning in Judy's words. She was indirectly and politely asking her to leave.Pursing her lips, Lilian forced on a faint smile as she got up from the sofa. "It's getting pretty late. Tyler, please take care and rest well. I'll be leaving now," she said gently.Tyler nodded slightly and replied indifferently, "You too."His tone was a lot colder than before.When Lilian heard this, she was momentarily taken aback. Tyler didn't speak to her like that earlier.She took a deep breath. Her gaze was heavy as she looked at Tyler. Just as she was about to say something, C
Jean watched Dorian make efforts to help Tyler remember their past and felt a deep sense of sadness.It was clear that Dorian's words had stirred Tyler's emotions as well."Alright. Get some rest," Tyler replied in a low voice.Dorian obediently hummed in agreement. Then, he bade farewell to Tyler before quietly lying down in bed.Jean stood at the door. Just as she was about to enter, she saw Dorian reach out and turn off the bedside lamp. Then, he settled into peaceful sleep.Dorian, who usually needed Jean's coaxing to sleep, was now peacefully sleeping on his own.Jean took a deep breath and withdrew her outstretched hand.She handed the milk to the maid next to her. "He's gone to sleep, so I suppose he doesn't need this. He ate quite a bit at Larson Residence today."The maid nodded gently upon hearing that and took the glass of milk downstairs.Jean followed suit and walked downstairs.After the maid cleaned the glass, she walked back into the living room. She saw Jean
