Like a beam of light, Jay had brought the light of dawn to Yorks Stronghold, but after dark, he retreated without a trace.The once lively Yorks Stronghold had gone back to being silent and dull.Grand Old Master Yorks swayed and staggered on the mountain path, recalling every moment he and Jay shared. The child was cunning and wise and knew how to make him smile.However, he could not enjoy such bliss and warmth anymore.His heart was filled with regrets, but he had only himself to blame.On the other hand, Chloe was crying in Jordan's arms. Up until now, she still could not wrap her head around it and kept on mumbling, “Why is Jay so cruel? How can he abandon his mother?”Jordan had always been accommodating to Chloe. Firstly because of love, and secondly because of guilt. Back then, the Areses had imprisoned Chloe in the underground palace, which was why she contracted a strange disease. She had muscle atrophy and lost her mobility, and because of this guilt, he chose to be ki
Jordan could only sigh.Immediately after Jay set foot in Imperial Capital, he rushed to Angeline’s house in Swallow City.At the sight of Lady Severe and Mr. Severe, Jay asked anxiously, "Did Angeline come home, Mom and Dad?”Lady Severe was stunned. “Angeline is with you, isn’t she?”A hint of uneasiness flashed across Jay’s heart. Angeline did not come home. Where could she have gone?Josephine consoled Jay. “Brother, Angeline may have gone to Imperial Capital first.”Jay nodded, and before he could exchange greetings with the elders from the Severe family, he drove to Imperial Capital in a hurry.He went to Carefree Garden, Grand Asia, and even the newly built Tourmaline Estate… He went everywhere he could possibly think of, yet Angeline was still nowhere to be found.Jay grew extremely uneasy.Had Angeline made up her mind to part ways with him?After what Angeline had gone through this time, her health must have suffered a heavy blow. Thinking about this, Jay grew anxio
Baby Robbie lay on the sofa with his arms folded and said calmly, "You can help us cheat when we have exams!" Jenson was speechless. Jenson rolled his eyes at them and said, "Don't worry, Daddy will not give up until each of you become outstanding students." Baby Robbie and the girls almost fainted. Grand Old Master Ares found out that Jay had returned to Imperial Capital, so for the entire day, he waited by the door for his children and grandchildren to come and see him. However, after waiting for several days, Grand Old Master Ares lost his patience. He took the initiative to call Jay.Grand Old Master Ares questioned unhappily, "Jay, I know you’ve been back to Imperial Capital for a few days now. Why haven’t you visited me? Also, I heard that Baby Robbie is back. Come over with the kids." Jay said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I lost Angeline." Grand Old Master Ares kept silent for a long while. He finally understood why Jay had not visited since he came back. Without
Jay brought the children to Tourmaline Estate to visit Grand Old Master Ares. The estate was especially lively with the gathering of a few of the Ares family branches. Jean was a self-claimed pick-up artist. When Jean saw that Jay was holding onto his phone and texting the entire night, he could not stand it anymore. He snatched Jay's phone, threw it aside, and said, "Brother, is Sister-in-law answering any of your calls? Is she replying to any of your texts?" Jay glared at Jean with an angry expression. How dare this kid try to teach him a lesson?! When Jean saw Jay's expression, he knew he had hit his sore spot. Jean smiled and said, "She’s not answering your calls or returning your text messages, is that right? Let me tell you, there are only two reasons for this."Jay straightened up and listened carefully to what Jean had to say next. Jean said, "The first reason is that your writing is sub-par and your words can't move her." Jay gave a scowl. How dare this kid
Jay's icy expression instantly softened. He nodded and said, "Be safe." The children giggled. After Daddy adopted them, he regarded them as his own daughters and cared about their safety. If they were out in public, the people there should be the ones worried. Finally, it was Baby Robbie and Jenson’s turn to walk up to Grand Old Master Ares. Jenson's face was sullen, but Baby Robbie plunged into the arms of Grand Old Master Ares. He greeted him affectionately, "Great-grandpa." Grand Old Master Ares' tears filled his eyes. "Baby Robbie, I’m so happy that you’re back."When Grand Old Master Ares handed some money to Baby Robbie and Jenson, Baby Robbie took it and kept it like the others. However, Jenson kept his hands in his pants pockets and said coolly, "Great-grandpa, I’m not a child, so I don't need any allowance." Grand Old Master Ares held the money in his hand as he said, "Jens, in Great-grandpa's heart, you’ll always be my baby grandson." Jenson reluctantly too
Grand Old Master Ares shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe your mother wanted access to the research findings, but your grandma wasn’t willing to give it to her." Jay immediately thought of his mother's other child, the child who died of a strange disease. Did his mother look for Grandma Boye in hopes of bringing him back to life? However, Grand Old Master Ares revealed another shocking truth, "I interrogated your mother previously, but she kept saying that it was Boye's fault. She said that Boye is a scheming good-for-nothing and is not as kind as she appears. She also said that she cheated on me..." Monster’s face immediately came to Jay's mind. He thought about the timeline in his mind, then asked, "Was Grandma ever away from home in the years before I was born?""No." Grand Old Master Ares thought about Jay’s question for a while and shook his head. However, his eyes suddenly lit up as he said, "She fell seriously ill and her stomach was swollen for a while. However
Jay said resolutely, "Grandpa, share the findings with our government and let them serve mankind. This is the life purpose of a doctor. I would think that Grandma would want her research findings to be passed down from generation to generation." Grand Old Master Yorks waved his hand and said, "Give me some time to think about it." Jay left. As he came out of Grand Old Master Yorks' room, Jay looked at the restored Tourmaline Estate. The layout and appearance of the building were as per its previous appearance. The lush trees and wide asphalt avenues gave the whole place life. The reconstruction of Tourmaline Estate was led by Angeline herself. Jay’s heart ached when he thought of how much hard work Angeline had put in just to make him happy.He thought to himself, ‘How did I lose such a wonderful woman?’ Jay dragged himself to Fragrant Vessel Court. Fragrant Vessel Court had an antique feel to it as the building retained its original appearance. The only thing that w
It was up until she no longer had the strength to toss and turn. She was no longer fighting back as she lay on the bed, her breathing thin as silk.She stubbornly exhausted herself and weakly told Sis Shirley, “I may not have much time left, Sis Shirley. I’ll have to tell you a couple of things before I die.”Shirley knelt before the bed, her face drenched in tears. “Lil Angeline, please don’t think that way. You’ll be fine. How about I call Jay over, okay?”Angeline refused her firmly. “No. Don’t let him know about my current condition. If I die, don’t let him see my remains and tell him that I passed on peacefully. That way, he’ll feel much better.“Also, Sis Shirley, I’m truly sorry I can’t keep you company.”After finishing her sentences, Angeline lost consciousness.Shirley wailed aloud, lamenting to the heavens, while Mrs. Yorks kept her composure. She placed her ear on Angeline’s heart and said, “Shirley, she’s not dead. Her breathing is steady as well. Her anxiety must’ve
