Meanwhile, Daphne rushed back to Alvarez Manor. Seth didn't go to the company today, much to her surprise.He was on a phone call in the bedroom while looking quite serious. Daphne halted in her tracks and paid attention to the conversation carefully. Then again, Seth didn't say much.He kept echoin
"How would you know that?" Daphne asked, still unsure.Seth just smiled lightly in response. "That's because Lewis will definitely help you out. You are his biological sister, after all. He won't let you get imprisoned.""But he told me to leave the country.""The outcome is still the same even if y
Josephine exited the study and followed Conrad downstairs for dinner.She sat at the dining table quietly while eating her dinner absent-mindedly. It was apparent that her eyes weren't focused on anything at all.When Conrad noticed her spacing out, he couldn't help but frown. It was torturous for a
She accepted the medicine and slid them into her mouth before swallowing them without a word.Lewis kept staring at Josephine unblinkingly. Sensing his gaze, she instinctively raised her head and locked eyes with him.A glimmer of confusion emanated from his eyes, perplexing her in return. All she d
Josephine's eyes slowly went wide. What was that? She seemed to recall having heard of that disease before.Dr. Halliday steeled his heart before explaining, "In other words, it's dementia. Then again, please don't let it bother you too much, Madam. You're still very young, so it's unlikely that you
Josephine forced out a smile as she nodded slightly."Alright, it's time for dinner. I'll go ahead and brew the herbal medicine for you. President Alvarez asked me to pick the medicinal herbs up before coming here."With pursed lips, the woman glanced at the bag filled with various herbs. However, s
Despite that, Conrad ultimately decided to interrupt Josephine. "Madam, I've brought dinner. You don't have to continue cooking anymore."Josephine paused in her actions before turning to shoot him another glance.Conrad continued, "President Alvarez is on a business trip right now, so he won't be h
There was no such thing as a grace period when it came to Alzheimer's disease. For all he knew, Josephine's condition might deteriorate the next second.He thought for a moment before finally relenting. "Fine, I won't tell him anything, but you must remember to take the medication."Josephine nodded
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
