Sophia thought back to the past and realized that Adam never cared so much about her mother before. She got angrier the more she thought about it.Adam was so occupied with carrying Lilin that she did not notice Sophia's souring emotions. It was only when he wanted to bring Lilin to Sophia that he seemed to be aware of Sophia's presence. When he saw that Sophia was alone, he frowned and asked, "Did you come here alone, Sophia? Where's Zachary and Benjamin?"Sophia snapped back to her senses and explained, "I didn't ask Zachary to come because his disability makes it difficult for him. Benjamin is with him at home, too."Adam snorted. "Doesn't he have a wheelchair? Couldn't he have shown some effort in meeting his wife's parents from the airport? This is basic courtesy!"Sophia did not like hearing her father talk about Zachary that way. "Please don't say that about Zachary. You know better than anyone why he's in this condition now. He wouldn't have wanted this either."Adam felt

"But Dad, I—""That's enough, Sophia." Adam interrupted. He did not want to dwell on the past with Sophia. "I just hope that you won't argue with Lilin anymore. You're my only children, and I genuinely hope to see you both get along with each other."Sophia reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay. I understand, Dad. I promise not to get angry at Lilin and avoid arguing with her in the future."Adam patted Sophia's shoulder. "That's my girl."Sophia discreetly suppressed her frustrations. She decided to deal with Melinda and Lilin after successfully inheriting Adam's estate.It took them about an hour to arrive at the hotel. When Adam checked into his suite, he told his subordinates to take care of their luggage while he brought Melinda and Lilin to meet Zachary. It had been a while since he met his son-in-law.Zachary remained calm when he saw Adam and nodded slightly to greet him. "Welcome, sir."Adam clasped his hands behind his back and said unhappily, "How polite of you. Though I

Corinne made herself comfortable and sat on the edge of the bed. "It's the weekend, and I have nothing better to do since I don't have to go to work."Zachary frowned. "You should avoid coming in the morning. I know you're agile, but there's a big risk you'll get caught whenever you sneak in through the window. You need to be more careful."Corinne crossed her legs nonchalantly and said, "I'm bold enough to come here because I know I won't get caught."Zachary felt somewhat powerless and remarked in a sour tone, "Fine. Do whatever you want. It's not like I can tell you what to do.""Are you angry?" Corinne glanced at him.Zachary had a sullen expression as he turned his wheelchair to face the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked out and said, "No."Corinne then uncrossed her legs and approached him. She turned his wheelchair so he was facing her. "Pfft! Where did you get the nerve to be upset with me?"Zachary looked up at her. "I'm not upset with you. You're simply doing as you p

Sophia then said, "Well, you don’t need to move then if you're already lying down. I'll ask the hotel staff for a key and bring in the medication for you. The sooner you eat it, the better." She then proceeded to leave."Wait," Zachary called out to her.Sophia stopped and asked, "Yes, Zachary?"Zachary replied, "Don't trouble the hotel staff for a key. I'm already getting dressed. I'll open the door for you once I'm done."Sophia responded, "Are you out of bed already? Be careful, okay."Zachary exchanged glances with Corinne, and she wordlessly broke free from his embrace. Corinne stood up, opened the balcony door, and left.After Zachary closed the balcony door, he moved over to tidy up the sheets before undoing two of his shirt buttons. He then went to open the door for Sophia.Sophia scanned the room instinctively after she entered. Something seemed to be amiss, but she was somehow unable to pinpoint what it was.Zachary saw her glancing around and asked, "Where's the medi

Melinda no longer wished to talk about Sophia with Lilin. "Let's leave it at that, Lilin. Now go spend some time with Benjamin."Lilin shrugged and turned her head to look at Benjamin. He was busy playing with his toys on the other end of the sofa. "Benjamin's changed a little, Mom."Melinda glanced at 'Benjamin' curiously and asked, "How so?"Lilin tilted her head and said with frustration, "He used to be very quiet. He never talks, and he never smiles a lot either. He was a bit distant with me when we met today, but he became talkative later on."Melinda felt that her daughter might have been overthinking things. "Children are like that. They tend to open up once they get used to their surroundings. Don't read too much into it."Lilin, however, was convinced that things were not as simple as they seemed. "I just can't help but feel that Benjamin looks like someone I know, someone I've met before.""And who might that be?" Melinda asked."I don't remember," Lilin answered with
