Tyler's gaze fell onto Jean. Seeing that she was still sitting awake in her chair, he asked softly, "Jean, would you like to rest on my shoulder for a while?"Jean shook her head gently at his suggestion and replied, "It's alright. I can still manage."As she said that, she was suddenly reminded of Tyler's poor health. He had only recently recovered, after all. If Tyler were to stay up for a prolonged amount of time, it would undoubtedly affect his health.Jean immediately suggested, "Maybe you can rest on my shoulder instead. I'm worried you might feel uncomfortable tomorrow."When Tyler saw how serious Jean looked, he shifted his gaze to her shoulder and said softly with a small smile, "Your shoulders aren't broad enough. If I do lean on your shoulder all night, you'll definitely feel sore all over tomorrow."Jean patted her own shoulder and responded promptly, "Don't underestimate me."As she spoke, she pressed Tyler's head against her shoulder.Since Tyler was a lot taller,
Not long after, the ICU's doors were pushed open from the inside by a doctor.A doctor in a white coat walked out with a somewhat weary expression on his face. He then said in a low tone, "I'm sorry, we've done our best to save him. You may go in to say your last words to the patient."Upon hearing what the doctor said, Dorothy's expression suddenly shifted. She would've almost fallen to the ground if it weren't for Joyce's support.The sound of Dorothy's loud sobbing echoed through the corridor. With Joyce's help, they were able to enter the ICU, where Timothy lay.Timothy's eyes were still closed.Dorothy walked in and started to sob even louder as she leaned over Timothy's body.Upon witnessing such a scene, Jean's spirits were severely dampened. She immediately averted her gaze from Timothy.Tyler held Jean's hand tightly the entire time and pulled her closer to him.Jean's eyes prickled slightly, but tears never fell from her eyes. She wanted to cry, but tears just wouldn'
Jean frowned upon hearing what Joyce said.She hadn't expected them to leave in such a hurry. They were leaving tonight.Seeing how solemn Jean's expression was, Joyce let out a small smile and said, "To be honest, we didn't spend much time together as sisters. Perhaps our destinies were just incompatible, and maybe that's why we never got along well."If we're also sisters in a parallel universe, I hope I'm able to care for you like a good sister should over there." After hearing what Joyce said, Jean's gaze turned heavy.Then, she said in a deep voice, "No thanks. I don't want a sister like you even in a different universe."After saying that, Jean shot Joyce a cold glare and continued, "Since you're leaving Henkel to live abroad, I won't take a single penny of the compensation that was paid to Dad for the accident."Consider that a gift from me to you guys. I hope you both never come back to Henkel."Upon hearing that, Joyce pursed her lips and replied in a gentle tone, "We
Moreover, Jean figured Timothy must've had some savings during his lifetime.Dorothy and Joyce's urgent departure was probably because they didn't want Jean to claim her share of the money.They already knew that Jean had gotten her memories back, so they probably knew that she wouldn't just let them have things easy.Although Jean had recovered her memories, she didn't want to get involved with Dorothy or Joyce anymore.All Jean wanted to do was live the rest of her life comfortably and raise Dorian alongside Tyler.Tyler held Jean's hand in his as they settled into the car.Jean rubbed her temples, feeling a headache starting to brew. As all the fuzzy details in her memories became clearer, she often experienced headaches.She took a deep breath and sat quietly next to Tyler. She rested her head on his shoulder and whispered softly, "I'm going to take a short nap. Wake me up when we get home."Tyler nodded at that.He watched Jean resting on his shoulder with a small smile.
Coleen noticed the change in Jean's expression and thought it was unusual. Her expression turned solemn immediately as she whispered, "What's wrong, Jean?"Jean took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions. Then, she whispered, "I suspect that Joyce and my mom have gotten hold of Dad's business registration stamp."Timothy was the one responsible for handling Michaels Group's business matters over the years. As such, it wasn't unusual for him to carry the company's stamp with him everywhere.Under Timothy's leadership, Michaels Group had developed rather well. As such, Jean trusted him to a degree.However, after hearing that Joyce and Dorothy were planning to immigrate shortly after Timothy's funeral, it was clearly a premeditated move.Tyler immediately took out his phone and asked William to look into Michaels Group's accounts.Soon, William called back with an answer."The company's official stamp is currently with me. I've checked the company's accounts too. There doesn't s
Coleen heard Jean's response, and a smile appeared on her face."It's better for you guys to get married as soon as possible. Dorian has grown up, after all. He'll need his parents to be on good terms," she said.Jean pursed her lips and nodded slightly.Although she and Tyler hadn't officially remarried, the way things currently were made it feel like they had.With a small smile on her face, Jean said calmly, "But I don't know if Tyler's willing to remarry me."Jean had asked Tyler about it before. However, she hadn't fully recovered her memories yet at the time.Having regained her memories now, Jean was uncertain about what Tyler thought about the matter.Jean hesitated to bring up the topic of having recovered her memories to Tyler.Given his poor health at the moment and considering how well they had been getting along when she had lost her memories, she was unsure if Tyler would want to revisit their painful past.After all, some of those memories were better left forgo
With an intense gaze, Jean turned to face Tyler. "I won't regret it. You mustn't regret it either," Jean said softly. Tyler was stunned. With a warm smile, he replied, "I won't. Never." After hearing Tyler's response, Jean immediately hugged him tightly. At that moment, Jean had never felt happier. This time, neither of them could afford to break their promise. Soon, the annual celebration of Larson Group arrived. This year, Tyler was organizing a grand celebration in their meeting hall. He even invited the stakeholders.Dressed in an elegant white evening gown, Jean looked as graceful as ever. Tyler, dressed in a black suit, stuck by her side while staring at her lovingly. He held her tightly throughout the event.Jean was puzzled by his nervous demeanor. "Are you okay?" Jean asked softly.Today's event should be a piece of cake for Tyler since he attended the celebration every year. Although he was the host this year, Jean was still surprised to see him app
Jean immediately understood what was going on. In the meantime, Robin saw that Tyler had left his jewelry box on the table. She quickly picked up the box and handed it to him.Tyler, upon seeing the box, immediately walked over and took it. Apparently, he had forgotten. "Sorry … I'm a bit nervous," Tyler admitted. He felt utterly embarrassed in front of the audience. The crowd began to throw teasing comments at Tyler, who seldom seemed so panicked. Jean smiled brightly with teary eyes as it was quite rare to see him behave like this.After Tyler received the ring, he knelt on one knee and said, "Jean, we've been through so much together. Although the time we spent together had its ups and downs, it helped me make one of the most important choices of my life."His voice started to tremble. "I want you to be my wife. So, please, will you marry me?"As Tyler finished speaking, Jean took a deep breath and stretched out her hand. "Yes, I do! I want to be with you forever," Jea
