last update Last Updated: 2023-11-09 19:21:54
Jean watched as Miriam went on and on, almost as if she were settling affairs before her death.

Perhaps it was because the sleeping pill incident had made her cautious.

Jean, as an outsider, felt it wasn't appropriate to listen to so many of the Jacobs family's secrets. Thus, she walked out of Miriam's hospital ward.

She slowly walked over to the hospital's backyard, where several patients were out for a stroll.

She sat down on a chair and rubbed between her brows with her fingers.

Jean thought about calling Coleen but hesitated, knowing it might be the middle of the night on her end. She didn't want to disturb her.

Dorian had said that Tyler hadn't regained consciousness and they didn't know when he would wake up.

While Jean was lost in thought, someone suddenly appeared beside her.

She turned to look and saw that it was Finn who had sat down next to her.

Jean was still wary of him.

After Finn sat down, she immediately got up to leave. However, he suddenly grabbed her hand a

    Finn's mysterious reply caused Jean to furrow her brows involuntarily.After walking a considerable distance, Finn turned to find Jean seated in her previous spot. A trace of mockery flickered in his eyes.He had achieved his goal, regardless of whether she and Toby were genuinely in a relationship or faking it.After all, there was indeed bad blood between Toby and the Larson family.Jean lingered there for quite a while before returning to Miriam's hospital ward.Toby was about to send someone to look for Jean when he noticed her returning."Jean, where were you just now?" Jean saw him looking at her with a concerned expression. Her gaze slightly changed, and she said softly, "I was in the backyard just now. Has everything been settled on Grandma's side?"Toby nodded. "Yes, it's all taken care of."Jean nodded in response.Noticing that her expression seemed a bit off, he asked, "Are you okay?"Jean pursed her lips and forced a smile. "I want to return to Henkel," she sof

    Jean looked at Toby and took a deep breath. She briefly considered asking if Toby had deliberately approached her back in Resovia. However, she dismissed the thought as absurd.Back then, there had been no connection between her and Tyler, so Toby couldn't have saved her because of him. After all, at that time, Joyce had been by Tyler's side.Jean inhaled deeply, steadying her emotions. "It's nothing. I just think that fate works in mysterious ways."Nodding gently, Toby said, "Yes, I never expected to meet you either."Jean pursed her lips, unsure how to respond to his words. Looking at the time, she said, "I should go now. It's almost boarding time."Toby nodded and watched her enter the airport.After Jean went in, he immediately took out his phone and called Yvette."Jean is returning to Henkel today. Grandma is doing well, so you don't need to come back." Yvette replied, sounding a bit perplexed, "Wasn't she planning to return to Henkel with you? Why did she suddenly

    Nodding, Jean replied to Yvette, "You have a point."Miriam must have favored Toby a lot because of his strong resemblance to Henry.Nevertheless, Toby was indeed more capable than Finn.He would be the better candidate to take over the Jacobs family's businesses in the future.Yvette linked arms with Jean and said softly, "Let's go, Jean. I'll take you home."Jean agreed with a nod and followed her into the car. She had something to ask Yvette too.Yvette started talking about Jean's visit to Dortsham in the car."Toby must've been too busy to show you around when you guys were in Dortsham. Next time, I'll go back with you."Jean fixed her gaze outside the window.She said quietly, "I came back in a rush. There were many more people that I didn't get to meet. I feel a little sorry for Mr. Jacobs, but I can't help it. "Things can't work without me around here."Yvette smiled slightly. "It's fine. I get it. Toby will understand too. You went all the way there just to help hi

    Jean was well aware that Chris and William were incredibly busy.Her matter was something personal. It certainly didn't deserve as much attention as the tasks they had to attend to."Sure. Focus on your work first. I'll wait for your call," she said.After that, she hung up.Yvette played it cool and casually glanced at Jean's phone screen. Unfortunately for her, Jean was using a privacy screen protector. She raised her eyebrows in mild surprise, no longer stealing any glances in Jean's direction.Jean stared ahead after ending the call.She said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Things should be hectic for Mr. Jacobs at this time. Your grandmother is in the hospital, and Ms. Stirling is a tough nut to crack."Yvette sighed in frustration."Those women have too many bad tricks up their sleeves. They just have to ruin things every year."Helplessness was written all over her face.Then, she pursed her lips and chuckled. "Don't tell me that you're taking a pass on Toby because of ou

    Jean didn't tell Yvette the whole truth, but she didn't lie either.Finn had indeed mentioned that Toby was a clean freak.Jean was well aware of her own shortcomings as well.Her life had gotten tainted ever since she replaced Joyce and married Tyler.Upon hearing Jean's words, Yvette was stunned into silence for a short while.It turned out that Jean had been hung up on that issue, after all.Any woman would feel inferior if they were in the same situation as Jean.If Jean felt that she was not good enough for Toby, it meant that she must care about Toby to some degree.After coming to that conclusion, Yvette couldn't help but look surprised."Jean, does that mean you've deliberately distanced yourself from my brother because of that?"Smiling faintly, Jean said softly, "I didn't do anything deliberately. I just want to maintain an appropriate distance with him."Jean looked at Yvette as she continued in a low voice, "Would you like to come in for some tea?"Yvette nodded

    Yvette raised an eyebrow slightly. After walking out of Jean's study, she felt a tremendous amount of pressure on Toby's behalf.Tyler and Jean were connected by their son, after all.Meanwhile, Toby was merely someone Jean owed a debt of gratitude to from the past. This debt seemed somewhat tenuous.Jean smiled a little as she watched Yvette walk out of the study. She asked softly, "So, how about staying over for dinner later? The cook here used to work for the Larsons, so the food's pretty great."Upon hearing this, Yvette raised her brows and asked in a hushed tone, "Jean, you're still in touch with the Larsons?"Nodding, Jean replied softly, "Yes. Dorian's with Tyler now, so it's best to maintain some contact with them. It'll be more convenient for me to ask about how Dorian's doing as well."Smiling, Yvette replied, "Yeah, that makes sense."Jean looked at her for a moment before saying in an exceptionally calm tone, "So it seems that a relationship between me and Toby is i

    Yvette stayed at Teak Villa for dinner that evening.After dinner, Jean saw Yvette off at the door.It wasn't until Yvette's car left the driveway that Jean turned away and went back inside.Jean sat on the couch and waited.It was almost ten o'clock when she finally received a call from Chris.As soon as she answered the call and placed the phone next to her ear, she heard Chris apologize. "I'm sorry, Ms. Michaels. There was a tricky situation to handle here today, so the meeting got delayed."Jean furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing that."Hasn't Tyler contacted you guys yet?" she asked calmly.When Tyler was around, there were hardly any major issues at the company.A meeting that had gone on until this late meant that intense discussions had been involved.Chris hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Mr. Larson hasn't contacted any of us yet. Mrs. Larson mentioned that we shouldn't disturb him by bringing up company matters to him."Frowning, Jean rep

    Jean sighed when she noticed Chris was silent. "It's all connected, isn't it?"After a long pause, Chris finally said, "Ms. Michaels, Mr. Larson doesn't want you to get involved with this."The Jacobses aren't people you should offend. Plus, Ms. Skylar's disappearance has nothing to do with the Larson family. Ms. Michaels, you don't have to worry about that."Chris continued, "But you mustn't get involved in such things. Mr. Larson isn't here, so if something happens, he won't be able to protect you."Jean took a deep breath when she heard this, and she clenched her hands. Whether she wanted to or not, she was already involved in this matter.From the moment she went to the Jacobs' residence, she was already thrown into the matter. She took a deep breath before saying, "I know how to handle this. Thank you."Upon hearing Jean's dismissal, Chris sighed. "You don't have to thank me. Ms. Michaels, if you encounter any problems, you can always come to me."Jean pursed her lips. "I

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. As such, Robin had not expected to hear Conner tell her that he wanted to return to Swiree."Just stay here," Robin said.Upon hearing that, Conner sighed softly and

However, Terence did not answer.Tyler had to call Wilson to inform Terence of what had happened.Only a handful of relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their respects to Alina.With Jean and Tyler's help, Alina's funeral wasn't much trouble to set up.Terence received the news of Alina's death in the afternoon. Only then did he rush to the funeral home.When Terence arrived, Alina's remains had already been cremated and placed in an urn.He walked over to Robin. When he s

    Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Her heart quivered in fear for a moment.She suddenly felt insecure.Robin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Is Ms. Blake not doing well?"Robi

    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. She let out a calm smile and replied, "Well, then you'll have to spend quite some time waiting."Brian turned to look at Robin. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr

    Robin couldn't help looking surprised upon seeing Brian dressed in formal attire. 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. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes

    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. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica.  Robin stood in the cor
