Robin couldn't help looking surprised upon seeing Brian dressed in formal attire. He looked somewhat weary."Mr. Collins," Robin greeted.Brian nodded slightly in response and walked over to her side.He whispered, "I heard that Aunt Alina isn't doing very well, so I came to check on you guys. Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we
Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly. She let out a calm smile and replied, "Well, then you'll have to spend quite some time waiting."Brian turned to look at Robin. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr
Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Her heart quivered in fear for a moment.She suddenly felt insecure.Robin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Is Ms. Blake not doing well?"Robi
After Alina passed away, her body was taken to the funeral home the next morning.Alina had instructed Conner to keep her funeral simple after her death.After Alina was hospitalized, Conner showed her a grave site according to her wishes.A van from the funeral home came to the hospital the next morning to take Alina's body to the funeral home.Upon hearing the news, Jean and Tyler rushed to the hospital and accompanied Robin there.On the way to the funeral home, Tyler tried to call Terence. However, Terence did not answer.Tyler had to call Wilson to inform Terence of what had happened.Only a handful of relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their respects to Alina.With Jean and Tyler's help, Alina's funeral wasn't much trouble to set up.Terence received the news of Alina's death in the afternoon. Only then did he rush to the funeral home.When Terence arrived, Alina's remains had already been cremated and placed in an urn.He walked over to Robin. When he s
Even though Lukas was now back together with her, Jenny could clearly feel that their relationship could never return to the way it had been in the past. After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. Before she could ask why, Conner added softly, "I want to return to Swiree."Robin was taken aback for a moment. Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel. As such, Robin had not expected to hear Conner tell her that he wanted to return to Swiree."Just stay here," Robin said.Upon hearing that, Conner sighed softly and
"Ms. Michaels, you are pregnant."When Jean Michaels heard what the doctor said, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. Her hands trembled as they held the medical report. "Can you check again, please?" she asked in a low voice.The doctor looked at her with an awkward smile. "If you don't trust me, Ms. Michaels, you can get a second opinion from a bigger hospital."Jean paled when she heard that. "No, it's fine," she said. She stood up and threw the report into the trash can. Then, she left without a second glance.…Back at Oakside Villa, Jean was greeted by a cold gaze as soon as she entered the living room.Tyler Larson, who was preparing to leave, stared at her. "Where did you go?" he asked. His gaze unsettled Jean.Jean took a deep breath. She looked up and met his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Tyler, let's get divorced." As soon as she said that, everything fell silent, but it was soon broken by Tyler's laugh. "Are you still having a fever? Wha
Tyler pulled his arm out of her grasp and said scathingly, "I thought you knew everything. So find it out yourself." Jean felt her heart sink as she watched Tyler walk away from her. She clenched her fists, her face pale. She was running out of time. She couldn't let this drag on for too long. Her family would never allow her to give birth to this baby. She had to leave Henkel before her pregnancy showed. News of Jean asking for a divorce quickly reached the Michaels family.When her mother, Dorothy Smith, found out, she immediately brought her back to the Michaels Residence.As soon as Jean entered the living room, Dorothy rushed toward her. She slapped her across the face. "Jean Michaels, are you trying to kill us all? Is it so difficult for you to stay with the Larson family? How dare you ask for a divorce!" Jean's cheek was burning from the pain. She could feel it swelling. Sadness flashed in her eyes as she looked at her angry mother. "Tyler is seeing a woman he
Jean's voice was strained from repressed emotions. She sounded aggrieved. Joyce didn't realize anything was wrong with Jean. She thought that Jean was overcome with emotion. Joyce nodded and hummed softly in response as she looked around. She looked disappointed when she didn't see anyone else in the room. Jean and Joyce were identical twins. When Jean saw Joyce looking around the room, she knew immediately that she was looking for Tyler. She held back a sigh, unsure of what to say. A feeling of dread seemed to weigh her down. Dorothy threw her a warning look. Jean's expression might give something away. "Jean is busy, Joyce. Let go of her hand and let her leave," Dorothy said softly to Joyce. She didn't want Jean to linger. She was afraid that Jean would reveal something she shouldn't.Joyce nodded and released Jean's hand. As soon as Joyce let go, Dorothy grabbed Jean's hand and pushed her out of the room. "Now that your sister is awake, we'll have to talk about the
