Tyler stood still, looking at Jean for a long time.She slept peacefully without any caution, and her calm demeanor tugged at his heart a little.Tyler drew in a deep breath. Just as he was about to get a blanket for Jean, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him."You're up?" she asked. "I haven't made breakfast for you." She swiftly rose from the couch and hurried out of Tyler's room.As Jean left his room, Tyler's expression bore a hint of indifference.After Jean finished freshening up in her room, she made her way downstairs.Mrs. Spencer and Dorian were just about to leave.When Dorian saw Jean coming down the stairs, a smile graced his face. "Mom, you're awake."Jean nodded earnestly and said, "I'm sorry I woke up late today, Dorian."Upon hearing this, Dorian smiled warmly and said, "It's okay, Mom. I've already had my breakfast, and I'm off to school now. Let's play together when I come back."Nodding, Jean accompanied Dorian to the door.When she returned to

Olivia and Tyler's relationship had been exceptionally smooth and devoid of any conflicts before Jean's arrival in Faulkland.Despite not having entered a romantic relationship, there was definitely a solid basis of friendship between them.Jean had only been in Faulkland for a month, and Tyler had only recently brought her to live with him. Yet his attitude toward Olivia had turned upside down.Olivia firmly believed that Jean was the cause behind all these changes.Jean stood by, anxiously looking at Tyler. Her face was filled with worry as she asked, "Honey, is your recovery really not going well?"Observing Jean's worried expression, Tyler's brows furrowed as he said in a calm tone, "It's not that serious."Jean was taken at a loss for words.Noting Tyler's reluctance to reveal the truth to Jean even at this critical juncture, Oliva couldn't help but exhale heavily. Turning to Jean, her tone was icy as she said, "I know his condition better than anyone."We've been in Faulk
Jean looked at Tyler's serious expression.Pursing her lips, she asked, "Are you really going to dismiss Dr. Campbell?"Hearing Jean's question, Tyler's expression did not change. He merely responded in a calm tone, "Isn't that what you wanted?"Jean shifted her gaze away upon hearing this."I just don't want her to examine your body so closely. I'm certain she must have a clearer understanding of your current medical condition better than anyone else. Wouldn't your health be jeopardized if you dismiss her so hastily?" she said.Tyler replied calmly, "Are you suggesting that I let her stay by my side?"Jean fell silent after that.Looking at the contradictory woman before him, he said in a deep voice, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm going to rest upstairs. You can spend some time reading. I'll teach you some Faulkish once I feel better."Jean nodded at that. As Tyler went up the stairs, she asked warily, "Honey, did you not get to sleep well because I was in your room l
Tyler shifted his gaze toward Jean. The expression on his face looked extremely complex.Jean looked into Tyler's eyes meaningfully and sucked in a deep breath without saying anything.Their eyes locked on each other for a long moment. Eventually, Tyler placed his medical report back on the table and said to Jean calmly, "You may continue."Jean was initially puzzled by what Tyler had said. However, she smiled when she realized that Tyler was now less resistant to her probing about his health issues.She spent a long time going through the report before finally presenting her findings to Tyler.Tyler skimmed through Jean's translation with an indifferent expression. "Good," he said lightly.Despite Tyler's praise, Jean's mood did not lift in the slightest.The report indicated that Tyler's recovery wasn't going well. There was a risk of a sudden recurrence.Jean approached Tyler and looked deeply into his eyes."I'll make sure that you eat and rest well from now on. You'll hav
Jean jotted down all the instructions for each of Tyler's medications earnestly. When Mrs. Spencer walked in through the door, Jean immediately put on a smile and asked, "Mrs. Spencer, are you going to prepare lunch now?"Mrs. Spencer nodded in response. She had been taking care of Jean for a month. Even so, she couldn't help but feel surprised when she saw the bright smile on Jean's face.Jean's smile made her look very attractive.Mrs. Spencer couldn't recall Jean smiling like this at all back in Henkel."I'll prepare something flavorful for lunch today. I bought some special seasoning at the supermarket today."Jean's meals had been light during the past month due to her injuries. Now that she had recovered, Mrs. Spencer figured it was time she made Jean a flavorful meal with all her favorites.Jean's expression filled with joy upon hearing that."I used to like eating flavorful dishes that much?" Jean asked.Nodding, Mrs. Spencer said, "You might have a calm demeanor, but y
Tyler gazed deeply at Jean.It had to be said that the current Jean seemed like an entirely different person from the Jean from before.In the past, Jean would never have agreed to attend such dinner parties as she didn't like meeting so many strangers.Tyler wondered if this was who Jean truly was from the very beginning.Tyler felt a complex mix of emotions stir inside of him as he witnessed the many sides of Jean. He hoped that Jean could remain this way throughout this lifetime as she remained by his side.He looked at Jean deeply, wanting to reach out to stroke her hair. However, after reaching out toward Jean, he merely patted her gently on the head and turned to walk back into the house.Jean didn't quite understand the meaning behind Tyler's actions, so she looked somewhat puzzled.She caught up to Tyler eventually."What do I need to do to prepare?" she asked.Before she could continue, Mrs. Spencer was already approaching them with lunch in her hand.Tyler glanced a
"When Ms. Michaels got discharged from the hospital, Mr. Tyler went to bring her home himself," Helen explained.She continued, "Judging by how things are progressing now, I'm sure they'll remarry soon."Coleen was eagerly anticipating Jean and Tyler to get remarried.Jean and Tyler had a son together, after all.Dorian was a well-behaved and understanding child who never put any pressure on his parents. However, it made Coleen feel distressed on his behalf.Dorian was such a good kid. It was only fair that he got to grow up in a well-balanced family. Otherwise, it would be a huge shame.After hanging up the call with Helen, a bodyguard walked in."Mrs. Larson, Mr. Toby Jacobs wants to see you," the bodyguard informed.Coleen's expression changed upon hearing that. "I don't want to see him," she said firmly.She knew that Toby was probably here to ask about Jean. Coleen wasn't going to allow anyone else to get in the way of Jean and Tyler's developing relationship.Seeing how
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
