Her abnormal behavior made Jackson’s heart thump. “Tiffie… Are you alright? You don’t have to act tough. If you want to cry, just do it. You’ll feel much better after that.”Tiffany rolled her eyes at him. “Why would I cry? Just because Ethan’s back and he’s deliberately trying to get close to me means I’m going to burst into tears? I’m not a three year old. Don’t underestimate me. I’d feel pressured, or at most, a little stressed. Don’t worry, it’s fine. Try my cooking today.”Jackson didn’t believe her. Her abnormal behavior was an example of her current mental state. He couldn’t help repressing his emotions too.He washed his hands and headed to the dinner table. He looked at the considerably sumptuous variety of dishes, but wasn’t in the mood to eat. “Why? Are you ignoring my food?” Tiffany asked, feeling upset. “I rarely ever cook and you’re ignoring me? You won’t ever get another chance.”He scooped a helping of salad into his mouth with a bitter smile on his face. Only the

Alejandro stood calmly in the doorway. “I haven’t done anything to her,” he replied insipidly. “She was still around this morning. This is Ayashe. Even if I wanted something to happen to her, would the Larks agree? I’ve already got my hands full with you. How could I possibly have the time to do anything to her? I won’t be responsible for you getting a stroke.”Don Smith finally calmed down when he realized that Alejandro was telling the truth. He stopped flinging everything in the room. “Find her! I’ve called Lark Mansion. She’s not there!”Alejandro had the staff clean up Don Smith’s bedroom, then headed to the courtyard. Jett tagged along and said, “Don Smith’s abnormal temper is expected in his current condition. Please, don’t mind him, sir.”Alejandro lit a cigarette. “Find Melanie. See where she’s gone off to. As long as she’s not around, the old man would think that I’ve done something to her. Once you’ve found her, tell her to come home and watch over the old man until he cl

Alejandro sat in his chair and said expressionlessly, “The old man has ordered me not to leave your side. Besides, it’s better that I stay, as I get to have some peace and quiet. Further, I don’t feel like serving him anyway.”Melanie lowered her head and kept quiet. She knew that he did not actually feel that way. Whatever the reason, the moment Alejandro realized Don Smith did not have much longer to live, he’d been serving by his side constantly. Even if Don Smith threw a fit and lashed out at him, Alejandro neither complained nor retaliated; he was not even able to take care of his leg. Melanie thought that this was a good chance for him to relax.It was also a blessing in disguise for Melanie as well—how else would Alejandro stay by her side in the hospital willingly?The next morning, the doctor brought over the consent papers for Alejandro to sign as Melanie laid on her bed nervously. She had never even gotten a scar in her life, let alone entered an operating theatre. It was

Once Melanie was at ease, she looked at Alejandro and said, “We won’t be able to hide the truth from grandpa. I believe we should just tell him since the child has already been born. The reason we had this surgery was so that grandpa would be able to see his grandchild earlier. As for my family… I’ll tell them about it after I’m discharged.” Melanie was worried that her family would head over to the hospital and cause a scene the moment they found out. Just thinking about the scene gave her nightmares. All she wanted at that moment was some peace and quiet.Alejandro nodded his head. He took out his cell phone and recorded a video to send it to Don Smith, informing the latter that the child had been born and which hospital they were at. As Alejandro was recording the video, he took a good look at his child’s face. She could not be considered to be pretty; her skin glowed red and was rather thin, unlike other babies, who would have fairer skin. However, Alejandro actually thought that

3AM in the capital. There was barely anyone on the streets, but it glittered with neon lights anyway. This wasn’t his first time admiring the scenery in Ayashe, but it felt different for the first time tonight.He returned to the Smith Estate and walked into Don Smith’s room. That sly, strange-tempered old thing would never climb out of bed to torment him again. He laid there quietly, deathly still.He stood in front of the bed in silence for more than half an hour. The pain in his legs graduated into numbness, yet he showed no reaction. Jett had driven him back from the hospital. He watched him as he stood there and knew that his legs wouldn’t be able to take it. “Sir, don’t stand too long,” he reminded him, unable to help himself. “Your legs haven’t fully healed. Be careful, it might get worse.”Alejandro took a deep breath. “Tell everyone. Start funeral proceedings, make it grand. The old man has had a lustrous life. We can’t possibly give him a depressing ceremony.”Jett grunte
