It was the first day of the new year. Hilda and her family had a packed schedule to pay respects to their ancestors at the graveyards and visit the other relatives. The ancestral graveyards of the Clemon, the Damien, the Michel's and the Jones were located close to one another, and so the crowd departed together in a few cars. Connie and Nathan headed toward the Damien graveyard and the Clemon's graveyard respectively. On the other hand, Hilda was as busy as a bee as she had to visit the graveyards of the Damien's, the Clemon, and lastly the Adams. Coming out from the Clemon's ancestral graveyard, Nathan asked the chauffeur to drive around. Sticking her head out of the car window, Lily stared at a tall statue in a daze. All of a sudden, she noticed something and exclaimed excitedly, "Nate, look! Anthony is over there!" Anthony? Glancing toward a grave, Nathan saw a man in black visiting a grave. He was as solemn as a black statue. As the car drove by, Nathan indeed saw a side
Jerome got off at the next station even though he didn't know why. He glanced at the name of the station. When he got off the bus, he walked toward a particular direction with clear intent. In fact, he didn't even have to think, as long as his legs knew where they were going. At once, his breathing became rapid and heavy. As his heart started to beat faster, his steps sped up as well. Soon, they hiked up a little hill. In the valley, there was a family staying there, but the doors were shut. As such, they could only peek in from outside the yard. At that moment, Jerome stood firmly outside the house. In his eyes, the image of the house gradually became clearer before it blurred again like a reflection on water. With the ripples, the image broke into pieces before attaching themselves back again. Finally, it became completely clear. When he saw the house, Jerome became calm instead as he stared in a daze. To him, everything in the yard had a breathtaking familiarity. It was as i
That night, they stayed in town before returning to the city center the next day. After arriving home and having lunch, they left again shortly to the military Residence. As soon as they stepped in, Nathan sensed the odd atmosphere, as if everyone was looking at him in a peculiar way. Rex had also come back yesterday and brought Akosua along with him. When he bumped into the Clemon Family while visiting their ancestors' graves yesterday, he came back with them. He also brought Akosua with him to introduce her to his family with Old master Clemon to speak on his behalf. After a huge commotion, the Cannon family finally accepted him again. When Rex saw Nathan and the rest, he had an indescribably strange look too. "What's wrong with your eyes, Rex? What are you smoking?" Hilda went up and patted his shoulder. With an awkward expression, Rex didn't know how to tell her but Akosua babbled, "Uncle Nathan, they're saying your Daddy came back but your mommy didn't." Nathan's Daddy?
Indeed, Damian was alive, but it didn't make a difference to him. His lover was gone. The world no longer had a place for him and his... lover. To him, every second of living was nothing but torture! Everyone looked at each other before averting their gazes to William. Simultaneously, a politically incorrect thought formed in their minds. Waking him had actually hurt him! Under everyone's complicated gaze, William's hair stood on end. He was desperate too, but he couldn't possibly shoot Damian so that he could reunite with Leah on the other side, could he? Since he was still alive, it would be a murder! Besides, the current surgical technology had woke him. Therefore, he was a living being! Not only didn't William have the guts to be a murderer, but the entire Family didn't dare to bear the responsibility either. Therefore, William had placed his last hope on that hospital. Since Damian had no wish for surviving, William wouldn't be held accountable if heaven took Damian's l
Everyone in the room had their own thoughts but Hilda wasn't the least bit affected. Noticing that Damian wasn't eating, Luna brought her bowl over and fed him food that she didn't want anymore. "Here, grandpa. This is my favorite food, corn gruel. I love you the most, grandpa, so I'll give it all to you. You have to eat it all!" With a poker face, Damian ate a bit of it even though it was tasteless to him. "Uncle, hehehe... Uncle." Lily giggled while holding Damian's arm and swinging it. Hilda tried to help Damian in adapting To her, being alive was the best thing that could happen and there was nothing that couldn't be overcome. It was better to be alive than dead! Even ants strived to survive. Since heaven didn't take his life, he should live happily. Meanwhile, Luna warmly invited Damian to watch the reality show, 'Stylish Grandpa', with her. It was about how fashionable grandfathers babysat adorable toddlers. After the show, she stared at Damian, who looked even more han
Damian looked expressionless and no one knew what he thought about his son. He didn't expect that so many things would happen while he slept. Not only did he have a son borne by Mavis, that son even became a killer and hurt his other son. Damian had always been heartless toward Mavis. When he was captured by Mavis and brought to the drug lord's lair, he could have escaped but he chose to stay and secretly gathered information so that he could collaborate with his partners who were outside. In the end, they destroyed the drug lord's lair, which had been standing for a hundred years, in one shot. The only thing that surprised him was Mavis' survival. After looking at Anthony from afar, Damian walked away. "Dad, don't you want to visit him?" Nathan asked. Damian replied, "There's no point in doing that." Indeed, their meeting wouldn't mean anything now. After visiting Anthony, Nathan brought Damian to walk around the place. Jordan's military business was also at this place and
On the flight back to the country, Luna pestered Nathan by asking "Daddy, why didn't grandma come home with us?" Nathan kissed her chubby face and replied, "She'll be on vacation in Africa for some time." Discreetly, Luna asked again, "Daddy, they say that grandma is a bad guy who killed many people. Is grandma really a bad guy?" Fortunately, Connie wasn't here so she didn't hear that. Without answering her question, Nathan asked her back, "What do you think, Luna?" Luna smiled sweetly and replied, "Grandma is definitely a good guy. She's the kindest woman in the whole world." "Alright, darling. You should go to sleep now. I'll hold you while you sleep and when you wake up, we'll have arrived home." Nathan took a blanket to cover Luna, whom he held in his arms. She was still angry about not being able to travel around Africa for a few more days so even in her sleep, she pouted her lips. Seeing that, Nathan gently poked his finger on her face. What an adorable princess! But o
After Hilda finished reading the report, she put it down and said, "I'm sorry. Even though your report is great, my mother has someone she likes." Klaus didn't reply to her. Instead, he pulled out another report. Hilda took it and after reading it, she felt her hair stand on end. It was a report filled with Jerome's dark history. Hilda had always known that Jerome must have spent a lot of effort to secure his position in the Bowen Group in a short time. Furthermore, she knew that Jerome must have done some things that crossed the line but she didn't expect that he would be so low... After looking through a few pages, she couldn't stand it anymore. This man is terrible. I don't know whether letting him get close to Connie is a blessing or a curse. Perhaps the reason that he is getting close to Connie right now is so that Connie will help him go against Elizabeth. After everything is settled, he might even leave Connie straight away. With a cold expression, Klaus said, "I'm sure yo
