After dinner, Jean and Dorian waited for Tyler in the study to teach them Faulkish.A long while had passed, yet there was no sign of Tyler coming up the stairs. As such, Jean whispered to Dorian, "I'll go take a look downstairs."Dorian nodded and watched as Jean left the study.Jean went downstairs and saw that Tyler was taking his medication. As such, she went to help him get a glass of water.Soon after, the doorbell rang.Jean walked over to the door and saw Olivia on the monitor.She instinctively felt displeased upon seeing her.Eventually, she went ahead and opened the door.When Olivia laid her eyes on Jean, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected Jean to stay with Tyler even after her meeting with Toby.However, she was quick to regain her composure. She looked at Jean with a small smile on her face and said, "Ms. Michaels, I'm here to deliver Mr. Larson's medication."Jean glanced at the bag in Olivia's hand and nodded slightly. "Alright, come i
Helen noticed that Olivia's gaze had shifted toward the stairs inside. When she glanced over and saw Tyler making his way up the stairs, her brows furrowed slightly.When Jean saw Tyler make his way up, she immediately followed him from behind.Tyler was about to start the lesson soon. If she were to arrive at the study later, she was worried that the man might scold her.Olivia's expression changed subtly as she watched Jean follow Tyler upstairs.Helen was still holding the medication in her hand. She smiled and said, "Mr. Larson has been recovering rather well recently. He's in an excellent headspace too, thanks to Ms. Michaels' constant presence."Disappointment flashed across Olivia's expression upon hearing that. However, she managed a forced smile and said, "That's good to hear. I was getting worried about him."Helen smiled and said, "Mr. Larson and Ms. Michaels have been getting along rather well lately, so that might've helped him recover better."Dr. Campbell, would y
When Tyler saw that Jean was still mumbling Faulkish to herself and looked at a loss, he took a seat on the couch behind her and said in a deep voice, "That word's on page 246."When Jean heard that, she immediately flipped the dictionary to that page accordingly. After finding the word she had been looking for, she paused. Then, she turned around to see that Tyler was suddenly sitting behind her.Jean asked with surprise, "When did you get here?"Tyler took the instructions from Jean.She had a firm grip on them, and she looked a little embarrassed.Tyler regarded her translation of the text on the booklet with a hint of amusement in his eyes."Why are you translating this?" he asked.When Jean helped receive his medication from Olivia, Tyler had overheard their conversation.Olivia had already explained the instructions very clearly to Jean.As such, there was really no need for her to translate the text herself.Jean let out an embarrassed smile and replied, "I didn't ha
Jean was taken aback by what she had just heard.She realized that she had never been into Tyler's room after going out with Mrs. Spencer. She then walked over to take a seat with a smile on her face.The new sofa was truly soft and comfortable to lie on.Tyler took a glance at Jean. "This sofa can be turned into a bed," he said in a low voice.He walked over and pulled her up. After making some adjustments, the sofa transformed into a bed.Jean's eyes were filled with joy as she watched him. "You didn't prepare this just for me, did you?" she asked Tyler softly with an air of eager anticipation. Tyler calmly gazed at her. "Yes, I did," he said in a low tone. In the past, he would have just brushed her off with a few words.This time, however, he openly admitted that these preparations were done for her. This brought both glee and gratitude to Jean's heart."Thank you. I knew you cared about me," she said softly as she looked at Tyler. Jean looked at Tyler with tears
Jean hummed in acknowledgment. Right after that, her stomach began to growl.Tyler's gaze landed on her.Jean's eyes immediately carried a hint of embarrassment.Tyler's lips curved into a faint smile as he looked at Jean. "Go downstairs and get your breakfast. Don't starve yourself. I worked really hard to fix and nurse your stomach, remember?" he said softly. Upon hearing Tyler's words, Jean headed downstairs right away.Mrs. Spencer came from the kitchen and saw that Jean had just started to eat. "Ms. Michaels, I'll be preparing breakfast for you from now on," said Mrs. Spencer with a smile on her face."Jean raised an eyebrow. "If you're gonna do that, then what am I supposed to do?" she asked softly.Mrs. Spencer chuckled and responded, "Ms. Michaels, you could try painting or tending to flowers."Jean looked completely puzzled."Mrs. Spencer, do you know what I used to do in the past?" she asked as she ate.Upon hearing her question, Mrs. Spencer's lips curved sl
As Jean listened to Tyler's words, she was initially stunned. Her expression froze. She didn't know how to respond to him.Tyler, on the other hand, remained quite composed. He continued speaking, "I've hurt you in the past, leaving you to bear the burden of those memories for numerous years. Dorian was born during that time, too." Tyler paused for a moment. His tone was calm as he continued, "Perhaps our divorce wasn't solely due to Toby. Rather, it was because you couldn't let go of the past, which led to the issues between us. Besides Dorian, you also had another child, but sadly, that child never saw the light of day. It was deemed a stillborn. A truly shocked expression could be seen on Jean's face. She gazed at Tyler and took a deep breath. She asked in a soft voice, "So, why are you telling me this now?" Tyler looked at Jean indifferently and said in a deep voice, "You'll eventually come across this information from others. So, if that's the case, I'd rather tell you
Jean's expression froze when she saw Tyler release her hand and walk toward the restroom.She then noticed Toby, who had been standing some distance away. He walked toward her. Her expression changed slightly when she saw him approaching. Without hesitation, she promptly followed the path that Tyler had taken moments before. Toby had a slight furrow in his eyebrow when he saw Jean hastily leaving. His face could be seen displaying a panicked and resistant look. His countenance grew grim. As he was on the verge of catching up, he saw Jean colliding with a waiter carrying a serving tray. Jean had picked up the basics of Faulkish during this period of time. However, she was unable to recall how to say "I'm sorry" in such a tense situation. She could only apologize simply in a state of panic. Jean did not understand a single word that the waiter was saying. Toby's brow furrowed subtly as he approached. At this moment, Tyler emerged from the restroom. He took Jean by the
From the moment Tyler loosened his grip on her hand during the art exhibition, Jean had already started to feel panicked.When she tried to reach for Tyler's hand again, the man was already making his way toward the restroom.Jean's hand ended up grasping at nothing.Although Tyler's demeanor was usually cold, he had never rejected her so bluntly in this way.As such, Jean immediately figured that it was because Tyler no longer wanted her anymore.This realization left her feeling panicked and uneasy.After sitting in the passenger seat for a short while, Jean felt herself calming down.Eventually, they returned to the villa together.Helen had been about to leave the house to pick Dorian up. She noticed that Jean's hair was damp in some places, and her clothes appeared to be stained too.Helen couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Ms. Michaels, what happened?"Upon noticing Helen's concerned look, Jean quickly reassured her and said, "I'm fine. I just spilled some juice on mysel
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
