Shock colored Jean's eyes. She looked to be in disbelief."Is that true?"Tyler was such a brilliant man. He had outstanding looks and a good figure. He was wealthy too.Something must have malfunctioned in her head. That could be the only reason why she dumped him.Mrs. Spencer nodded seriously. "Yes. I don't know what the specific problems were, though. This is all hearsay."She looked serious as she said all that. She didn't look like she was lying at all.On top of that, Tyler had looked at Jean with nothing but hatred, so Jean believed Mrs. Spencer's words.She looked at Mrs. Spencer sullenly. "He must really hate me now."Mrs. Spencer began tidying up the blanket on the bed. "He's actually still quite good to you. The hospital bill here isn't something that average people can afford."And when you were saved, your rescuer recognized your face and called Tyler, saying that he would release you for a ransom fee of six million dollars. Tyler paid that for you."Jean was st
Tyler went silent for a long time.Starting to feel anxious, Jean asked softly, "Are you free to come over?"She was talking extra carefully, as if she was afraid that she would make him unhappy.Sighing, Tyler said nonchalantly, "I'll be over in a moment."Jean sighed in relief. "Alright. I'll wait for you in my ward."Tyler hung up without even answering.Looking at the call that had been hung up, she pursed her lips. Her gaze was blank.She waited on the sofa in the ward.Tyler came to the hospital about an hour later.When Jean saw him at her door, she secretly sighed in relief. Looking at Tyler, she squeezed out a smile.Tyler looked at her smile that was meant to please with a cold look. "The procedures are done. Let's go."Jean followed behind him obediently. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "What did the doctor say?"Tyler answered indifferently, "He said you've nearly recovered. You can just rest at home."Pursing her lips, she said softly, "But I still c
Tyler's body had recovered well during this time. That was why Olivia hadn't been around lately.When she received his call, she was really happy.However, he brought up Jean right off the bat.Olivia was a little huffy now.Jean and Tyler were already divorced.They even moved to Faulkland because of this, but now, Jean was here too.Olivia didn't even know what to make of their relationship anymore.Tyler sensed that Olivia was upset through her tone and said, "Forget it if you're busy."He hung up after that.He rested his gaze on Jean. "I'll buy you clothes."Jean looked down at the hospital gown and asked, "Don't I have any of my old clothes?"They were husband and wife. Even if they had a sour relationship, there was still bound to be some of her clothes here.Tyler looked at her coldly. "You've never lived here."Jean was stunned. Did that mean that they were already living separately?"Where did I live before?"Tyler was silent for a while. "Back in the country."
When Tyler heard that, he gripped the steering wheel."Who told you that?"Tyler glanced at her.Jean took a deep breath and said, "I guessed it."Tyler glanced at her coldly. "You didn't do anything wrong. We just chose different things."Jean felt even guiltier after he said that.It seemed like Mrs. Spencer was right. She'd abandoned him for another guy.Tyler drove them back to the villa. Jean brought down all of her clothes and carried them into the house.Olivia had brought over a set of clothes after the call.She saw neither Tyler nor Jean in the villa.After waiting for a while, she saw Jean carrying in a haul of shopping bags from the outside, with Tyler following behind nonchalantly.When Jean saw Olivia, her expression shifted slightly. She rested her gaze on Olivia and asked, "Who are you?"Olivia looked at her indifferently. She knew that Jean's head had suffered heavy trauma and that she had lost her memories. "I'm Olivia Campbell, the Larsons' family doctor.
Jean came out of her room after washing up.The villa was empty, and there didn't seem to be many maids around. Only Mrs. Spencer seemed to be here.Jean could understand why she was so busy now.After the shower, she felt hungry. It was probably because she had experienced too many emotions in the afternoon and she hadn't eaten much."Are you hungry? Mrs. Spencer isn't here yet. Do you want me to cook?" she said.Tyler looked at her sullenly. "You know how to cook?" Jean nodded. "I do," she replied naturally.Tyler looked at her intensely, then smiled and said, "That's great. You haven't lost your basic life skills."Hearing the sarcasm in his words, she pursed her lips. "What was I like before, hubby?"Were they always on bad terms?Why else would he look at her so coldly?He glanced at her lightly and said, "You never called me 'hubby' before."Jean was stunned. Since they were husband and wife, this should be a common term of endearment.Seeing that she'd gone qui
Tyler's voice was filled with disdain.Jean pursed her lips and apologized, "I didn't mean it. I'm a little rusty. It's been so long since I've done something like this. Please give me another chance."Otherwise, I'd feel bad about owing you so much money."Tyler looked at Jean's cautious expression. He took a deep breath and said in a low tone, "You owe me quite a large amount of money. You can take your time repaying your debt.""But it'll bother me," Jean whispered.Tyler watched as Jean desperately tried to get another chance. Then, he replied bluntly, "Suit yourself."He gave Jean a cold look but did not leave. Instead, he stood in the same spot, observing her.While Jean was peeling potatoes, Tyler took off his gloves. He flashed her another cold glance, then tossed the gloves in front of her.Jean understood what he meant. She picked up the gloves and put them on.When Mrs. Spencer returned with Dorian, they were surprised to find an empty living room.Usually, Tyler w
Dorian looked at Jean with a worried expression. He held Tyler's hand tightly as he asked, "Dad, what happened to Mom?"Dorian had never expected to see Jean here, so he was overwhelmed with excitement when he spotted her.But when she collapsed, he became nervous and thought it was his fault.Tyler noticed Dorian's anxiousness and reassured him, "Don't worry. Mom got hurt previously."Dorian's expression deepened with concern.Tyler had been keeping Jean's condition a secret from Dorian because he didn't want to upset him.He hadn't planned on returning with Jean.But after seeing her memory loss and changed personality, he couldn't bear to let her return to Henkel alone.Jean ended up in this state because of the Jacobses.If she were to return home without reason, they would continue to target her.Mrs. Spencer brought Jean upstairs. She laid her on her bed and gently called out to her, "Ms. Michaels, Ms. Michaels."Jean, upon hearing her name, slowly opened her eyes. The
Dorian heard the hoarseness in Jean's voice and felt uneasy. Gazing deeply at her, he shook his head. "I don't blame you, Mom. I know you didn't mean it," he said softly.Upon hearing Dorian's words, tears started falling down Jean's cheeks once again. Tyler, watching from the sidelines, felt a twinge of sadness. His eyes couldn't help but well up with tears too.He cast a glance at Jean, then left the room.Jean held Dorian's hand tightly, her face filled with guilt.Dorian grasped her hand firmly as if responding to her unspoken feelings.Even Mrs. Spencer got emotional as she witnessed the scene before her. She left Jean's room to give them some privacy.By dinnertime, Jean had gotten her emotions under control. Dorian had been studying Faulkish recently, so Tyler had to give him Faulkish lessons after dinner.Jean stood at the study's doorway, listening quietly.Tyler noticed her at the door. Raising his head, he asked, "Do you have something to say?"Jean pursed her
Even though Lukas was now back together with her, Jenny could clearly feel that their relationship could never return to the way it had been in the past. After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. 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
After Alina passed away, her body was taken to the funeral home the next morning.Alina had instructed Conner to keep her funeral simple after her death.After Alina was hospitalized, Conner showed her a grave site according to her wishes.A van from the funeral home came to the hospital the next morning to take Alina's body to the funeral home.Upon hearing the news, Jean and Tyler rushed to the hospital and accompanied Robin there.On the way to the funeral home, Tyler tried to call Terence. 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
