Not long after the others had left, Justin’s phone buzzed. “Mr. Yates, the surveillance footage from the rehabilitation center was sent for upgrades on Monday. As of now, there’s no active monitoring in the entire facility,” William reported. William wasn’t at Lichfield Hospital. He had been sent by Justin to investigate the cause of Mr. Yates Sr.’s acute distress. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Justin’s gaze turned cold as he looked out at the dark shadows cast by the trees. “Check the nearby businesses with surveillance cameras. See if any of them caught something unusual.” “Understood.” Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Stella was still venting her frustration. “Did you see how eager he was to play the devoted grandson? He’s just like his dead father, always buttering people up for the sake of money!” “Can you stop for once?” Harry snapped, irritated by her constant complaining. He waved her off. “Go home first. Jacob and I have things to discuss.” “What

Helen glanced at the time—it was 3 a.m. “Justin’s grandfather is dying,” Zac’s somber voice came through the line. “What?” Helen shot upright in bed, her sleepiness instantly gone, her face full of shock. Justin’s grandfather? She paused for a moment to piece it together—it must be Justin’s father’s father. She couldn’t be blamed for the delayed reaction. Her oldest living relative was her mother, and she had no grandparents. “I’m driving to your place now. Meet me outside. I need to discuss something with you,” Zac continued. “Oh, okay. Drive safely!” After hanging up, Helen couldn’t quite pinpoint how she felt. She scratched her head, changed out of her pajamas, and waited for Zac. Less than thirty minutes later, her phone vibrated. She opened her bedroom door quietly, intending to slip out. But as soon as she stepped out, her heart leapt in fright. “Sis? You’re still awake?” Helen asked, startled. “Couldn’t sleep. I was organizing the studio,” Haley

“Alright, stop showing off your intelligence!” Helen scolded.“So, does that mean you agree?” Zac asked, hopeful.She stared out the window, clearly torn. “I can’t decide this on my own.”Zac didn’t push her further, giving her space to think.*Helen tapped her fingers nervously against her thigh. “Are you absolutely sure Justin won’t find out?”“I’m positive,” Zac assured her with a firm nod.“Fine. Call me tomorrow.”“Alright.”With that, Helen got out of the car and walked back home, her expression heavy with worry. When she opened the door, she was startled to see Haley in the living room, sipping a glass of water.“Haley?” Helen gasped, her face frozen in shock as if she had seen a ghost.Haley looked at her water glass, unbothered. “Thirsty so I came down for a drink. And you? Did you get what you needed from the car?”“Yes, I did,” Helen lied with a quick nod, eager to escape.Just as she turned to dash upstairs, Haley stopped her.“But you didn’t bring anything b

“Sir?” Alex called softly as he stepped into the room, his small voice echoing in the quiet space. When the elderly man didn’t respond, Alex continued speaking on his own. “You need to get better soon, okay? I don’t really know what kind of sickness you have, but every time I get sick, Mom says if I eat well, take my medicine, and get shots, I’ll feel better really fast.” To his surprise, Mr. Yates Sr. slowly opened his eyes. His movements were sluggish as he blinked, his gaze fixed on Alex. For a moment, he seemed to see someone else—someone from his past. His lips parted, and he tried to speak, but all that came out were garbled, rasping sounds. “What are you trying to say?” Alex leaned in, pressing his ear close to Mr. Yates Sr.’s mouth. “...Jus...tin…” Mr. Yates Sr. murmured weakly, his words barely distinguishable. Even leaning closer, Alex couldn’t make out his words.*Outside the hospital room, Helen kept glancing at her watch. More than half an hour had pas

Helen brought Alex back home. Worried he might accidentally spill the beans, she took him straight to her room and handed him a stash of snacks to keep him occupied and quiet.“Aunt Helen, you’re being so generous today,” Alex said, holding a bag of chips while his cheeks bulged with food. “If all I have to do is talk to that grandpa to get snacks, can I go again tomorrow?” “Go where? In a couple of days, that grandpa might…” Helen trailed off, unable to finish her sentence. She flopped onto the sofa, sighing deeply. Alex glanced at her, confused by the abrupt silence. He stuffed a few more chips into his mouth. “Fine, don’t give me snacks if you don’t want to.” Helen felt a pang of sadness. That man was Justin’s grandfather. Justin had treated her sister so poorly—so why should she feel bad about his grandfather’s condition? “It’s because I’m too softhearted,” she thought bitterly. Her phone buzzed with a message from Zac: “Thank you!”Helen sat up, running her hands

Afterward, Haley let it go. She was consumed with thoughts of how to escape from Justin and never returned to the rehabilitation center.Years passed, and she wondered if Mr. Yates Sr. resented her for staying away. Setting her paintbrush down, she pulled herself out of her memories. This painting wasn’t going to get finished today. Leaving the studio, she thought she would check on the kids. But just as she stepped out, she saw Helen heading out the door with ‘Alex.’ Walking down from the third floor, Haley called out, “Alex, did you finish your homework?” ‘Alex’ was about to answer, but Helen quickly clamped a hand over his mouth and loudly replied, “Of course, he did! I checked it myself. We’re heading out now, sis!” Not giving Haley a chance to respond, Helen practically sprinted out of the house with ‘Alex,’ as if someone were chasing her. *As usual, Helen ushered ‘Alex’ into the hospital room, then paced nervously in the hallway, her unease growing. Something

“Can I go in and see him?” Justin’s voice was quiet, with a hint of weakness in his tone, and his expression looked troubled. “Of course,” Zac replied, though he didn’t look much better himself. Justin entered the room, and a few moments later, Zac stepped out, leaving two bodyguards behind. Returning to his office, Zac was greeted by Helen’s sharp words. “You swore to me that Justin wouldn’t be back! And yet, he almost caught us!” “Calm down,” Zac said, trying to appease her. He handed drinks to Helen and ‘Alex.’ “Look, I didn’t know he’d suddenly return. But you were quick on your feet, so he didn’t notice anything. Besides, doesn’t this prove I kept my promise? I didn’t tell Justin a thing about you or Alex.” “Fine.” Seeing Zac’s sincere apology and his decent track record of keeping his word, Helen decided to let it slide this time.“Alright, enough with the flattery. Just drive us home,” she said, taking the drink he offered. After all, why not take advantage of a

Tears welled up in Justin’s eyes as he smiled and nodded. He promised to win Emily back, but now, time wasn’t on his side. He wouldn’t be able to let his grandfather see that day.His phone buzzed, pulling him out of his thoughts. Glancing at his phone, he missed what Mr. Yates Sr. said next. The words on the display of the brainwave translator quickly disappeared.It was a call from Haley. A flicker of joy passed through his exhausted features as he answered immediately. “Where?” she asked flatly, devoid of emotion. “You’re coming?” Justin’s voice quickened. “I’ll send someone to pick you up right now.” “No need. Just give me the exact address. I’ll drive myself.” “Lichfield Hospital, 16th floor, Room 35. I’ll meet you at the entrance,” he replied, hanging up. Turning to his grandfather, his voice wavered with emotion. “Grandpa, Emily will be here soon. I’m going downstairs to meet her. She’s coming to see you.” *Haley had told him there was no need to come down and

In the hospital room, Mr. Yates Sr. seemed to sense something. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked toward the foot of the bed. "Emily... my dear..." His voice was still faint and unclear.Justin gestured toward the translation device on the bedside table.Haley noticed and walked over with a gentle smile. “Mr. Yates, I’ve come to see you. I’m sorry… I’ve been so busy with my art exhibitions lately that I haven’t visited.”Earlier in the elevator, Justin had explained the situation to her, and she followed his lead seamlessly.Mr. Yates Sr. tried to nod, but even that simple motion was beyond his ability now. His eyes glistened, and a tear slipped down his weathered cheek.The translation device displayed: “It’s so good to see you! You’ve achieved your dreams and become a painter. I’m so proud of you.”Haley nodded with a bittersweet smile, her tears threatening to fall. “Yes, I’ve made it.”The next line appeared on the screen: “How have you been these past years? I’m sorry

Stella glared fiercely. “What did you take from Dad? It must’ve been something valuable to make you kill him!”“Don’t accuse without evidence!” Heidi, usually composed and kind, stood protectively in front of Justin. Her voice was firm and commanding. She couldn’t let Harry’s family slander her son in such a critical moment.“Dad died while Justin was with him. That’s evidence enough!” Stella snapped, her tone dripping with hostility.“You’re talking nonsense! If you think you can pin this on Justin without proof, you’re dreaming!” Heidi’s anger flared. “There are cameras all over the hospital. If you want to accuse him, bring real evidence. You won’t smear my son’s name with baseless claims!”Stella refused to back down. “Everyone knows Zac and Justin are thick as thieves. Even if Justin did something, Zac would cover it up for him!”Zac, standing nearby, frowned at the accusation. He may be close to Justin, but neither of them would ever harm someone like Mr. Yates Sr. His expre
