Henry didn't beat around the bush and pointed straight to the image of Harry on the desk. "Take a look at that."Felix turned to where Henry was pointing and paused when he saw the photo frame on the table.Henry could tell that Felix probably had some suspicions but dismissed them as unlikely.Sure enough, Felix asked in confusion, "Uncle Henry, why did you ask me to look at that?""Aren't you asking about your dad? That person is your dad," Henry said, trying to keep his voice steady.Felix stood there, dumbfounded, trying to process Henry's words. Slowly, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.He forced a smile. "Uncle Henry, what are you talking about? The person in the photo is Uncle Harry. He's not my dad…"Henry pursed his lips and slid his wheelchair over to Felix.He said in a lowered voice, "We didn't know how to tell you about this. But with how things are going, we can't continue to keep the truth from you."Felix, that person is your dad. You've always thought
"What do you want to ask?" asked Harry."Did you cross anyone or have any enemies?" Henry wanted to find some clues first.Harry shook his head helplessly. "I also want to know who's behind this."He knew very well that the cowardly William wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Moreover, William planned to blackmail Harry with the video. He wouldn't leak it that readily.So, someone else must have done it. But who could have gotten this secretive video from William?"No clues at all?" Henry asked again.Harry weakly shook his head. "None."Henry frowned thoughtfully. "Okay, I'll go clarify with William again. He's the only lead we have for now.""Thank you," Harry said sincerely.At that moment, Harry regretted the things he had done in the past. In the end, the only one who would help him when things got rough was Henry.Yet, he had abandoned his loved ones for some materialistic junk.Henry was about to leave but paused when he heard Harry's thanks.Henry sighed. "I told you,
William trembled with fear and swallowed hard.The rich truly were a scary bunch. He would have been dead if he were part of their circle."I'll ask you again, did you say anything to anyone?" Henry asked grimly."What could I have possibly said?" William was confused."If you didn't tell on him, why would people set their eyes on you? More importantly, your phone?" questioned Henry.He didn't believe that these people orchestrated the scheme just to try out their luck."I…" William nervously rubbed his nose."Spit it out! If you dare to hide anything and cause Harry to miss his chance of redemption, I will make you pay!" Henry's patience was wearing thin.William didn't dare to hide anything and said uncertainly, "Well, I… I might have said something while drinking.""What exactly did you say? Be clear!" Henry demanded."I… I like to brag when I'm drunk. So, I told those people that Opulent Group's president is my son, and I have blackmail material on him." William hung his
Natalie approached Henry slowly, her eyes shimmering with tears. "We're finally together again. Why are you wasting time over some nonsense?"Henry lowered his gaze, his face clouded with uncertainty and self-doubt.There wasn't a single person who wished to appear in front of their lover at their lowest. Anyone who did would surely feel ashamed of themselves."Would you abandon me if it were me in this situation?" Natalie asked as she crouched down to meet his gaze.Though Henry didn't respond, his answer was clear.Natalie gently took his hand. "No matter how much you change, you'll always be the charming Henry to me. Both me and our baby will always be there for you."Henry's gaze swept over Natalie's face.Her words made him realize how lacking his judgment was. How could he have not appreciated such a wonderful girl before?True loves were those who would weather a storm with them."Natalie…" Henry reached out and pulled her into a tight hug. "You're finally back."These
"You're right." Natalie's heart brimmed with gratitude toward that person.Without them, she wouldn't have made it out alive and returned to Henry's side."Shall we eat?" Natalie gently took Henry's hand and whined playfully.Henry once again wore a self-deprecating look.Natalie quickly cupped his face and ordered, "You're not allowed to look down on yourself because of this. And no wild thoughts, understand?"Henry was forced to meet her gaze. He smiled faintly and nodded. "I understand.""Let's go eat." Natalie stood up and went behind Henry, helping him with the wheelchair.The food Natalie cooked was as delicious as ever. It was also good enough to stir up Henry's appetite.After dinner, Henry took Natalie to the nursery. Even though it was only halfway done, it already felt cozy.Looking around, every baby item in the room could melt anyone's heart.The room further reminded Natalie that a baby was on its way.She must be around seven months pregnant now. In another tw
Natalie quickly caught on and offered, "Let me help you with your shower.""It's fine, let Amos take care of it. He's been helping me out lately."Henry was initially hesitant about the arrangement. But, realizing he couldn't manage it alone, he reluctantly accepted assistance."Are you sure having Amos help is easier than having me help?" Natalie furrowed her brows with concern.She approached Henry and flashed him a flirtatious smile. "To be honest, I've been wanting to help you shower for a while now. And I finally got the excuse to do it."Her words lightened the heavy atmosphere.Henry's lips quirked up. "If you had mentioned it earlier, I wouldn't have been able to turn you down.""In that case, let's head to the bathroom now." Natalie pushed his wheelchair toward the bathroom.The spacious bathroom easily accommodated the wheelchair."Do you want to sit or…" Natalie glanced at the bathtub."This is fine." Henry didn't want to inconvenience Natalie further. Helping him
Natalie recounted everything to Leslie.After listening to Natalie's story, Leslie began cursing Jasper with every swear word she could think of."Okay, that's enough. No need to waste energy on someone like that. And your voice sounds off. Did you catch a cold?" Natalie asked with concern.Natalie was grateful she was able to hear her friends and family's voices again. She was also thankful that fate was looking out for her this time."Yes, I caught a cold," Leslie admitted."Have you visited the doctors?" Natalie asked worriedly.Natalie knew Leslie well. Leslie had always been prone to getting sick.She would often catch a cold but would sometimes catch a fever. When that happened, her body would heat up, and she would have rashes all over.The rashes would also cause Leslie to have trouble breathing."It's just a minor cold." Leslie glanced out the window.She didn't share the truth with Natalie. Ever since learning the truth herself, Leslie had been avoiding Ivan.But h
"That's my business. I don't have to explain anything to you, do I?" Leslie tried to keep a casual smile, but she was running out of energy to talk.Hugh fell silent.They both looked out their respective windows, but their minds weren't on the scenery.Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn, causing Leslie to lean toward Hugh. He instinctively caught Leslie by the shoulder.It was only then did Hugh noticed Leslie's abnormally high temperature.Leslie also knew Hugh caught her lie and quickly returned to her seat. She wished she could disappear between the car seats."Sorry, sir. A creature suddenly ran across, so I needed to dodge it," the driver explained.Hugh hummed. "It's okay."Then, he turned to look at Leslie. But she stubbornly kept looking out the window, avoiding his gaze.Hugh's mouth twitched. But seeing her evasion, he decided against pressing further. He indeed had no right to pry into Leslie's affairs.It only made him seem ridiculous if he asked.The car fell
