"Can't you be serious for once?""I am being serious." Sean's eyes glimmered with excitement as he wrapped her in a bear hug, holding her close before finally speaking with an intense thrill. "Jean, can you feel my heart racing? I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!"Do you know? Since that one-night stand, my heart races uncontrollably when I think of you. Watching you suffer tore me apart. When you struggled with the situation involving Sophie, I wished I could move mountains to bring her back alive for you."Jean, nothing makes me happier than seeing you laugh freely and hearing you chide and argue with me. I love you. I never thought I’d love any woman other than my mother, but then you came into my life. I realized I could love another woman deeply and want to spend my entire life with her."Sean often whispered sweet nothings, but his words were imbued with genuine conviction this time. "Jean, even if I’m not serious with the whole world, I will always be serious with y

In the presence of top executives from X Corp., Evander lowered his voice to a discreet murmur.Nevertheless, Cedric's expression changed dramatically. 'Grandpa collapsed?'"Let’s end the meeting here. Dismissed." Cedric rose abruptly from his seat and strode out of the conference room, leaving the department managers still processing the sudden interruption."What exactly happened?" Cedric asked, his brows furrowed with worry.'Grandfather is old and has high blood pressure, but he's always been meticulously cared for. How could he have collapsed so suddenly?' he wondered."Your father tried to reach you but couldn’t get through, so he left a message on the landline. He mentioned that your grandfather was walking in the garden with the housekeepers when he suddenly fainted. He’s been rushed to the hospital, and your father urges you to come quickly.""Go start the car," Cedric instructed gravely. As Evander turned to leave, Cedric called out again, his voice tinged with suspicio

Matthew's tone softened as he explained, "At our age, if I had wanted to replace you, I would have done so long ago. Besides, I’ve always valued your kindness and understanding.""Hmph, I dare you," Melissa retorted sharply, a glint of severity flashing in her eyes. "Matthew, I warn you. If you ever betray me again, I swear it will be your biggest regret, even if it costs me my life."Her stern warning made Matthew blush and cough awkwardly, clearly trying to evade the topic. "Don’t be absurd."Melissa was about to respond when her attention was drawn to Cedric and Sophie rushing from the elevator. Her expression tensed, but she quickly stood up. "Cedric, you're finally here. Your grandfather is still in resuscitation!"Cedric gently patted her shoulder and then turned to his father, his voice tinged with concern. "Dad, how could Grandpa just faint? What did the doctors say?""Dr. Zegler mentioned that given Dad’s age, we need to be prepared for anything. We'll have more details o

Melissa, named by Matthew, rolled her eyes with a hint of disdain. "You're hardly ever home to take care of Grandpa. Now that he's collapsed, you come running fast."It was unclear whether he genuinely cared about Jeff's well-being or was thinking about the other assets under his name.Having been married for many years, Matthew knew what she wanted to say next and glared at her with a dim expression. "Say less. He's one of Dad's grandsons. It's natural for him to come over now that my father has fallen ill."He continued. "Aus, Dr. Zegler said that Grandpa has Parkinson's disease. You and Cedric should consult more international experts in this field. See if there are any methods that don't involve medication, methods that can slow down Grandpa's deterioration."Hearing the word "Parkinson's", Austin's eyes widened in shock. 'Grandpa has Parkinson's? How could this be?'After the shock, he turned to look at Sophie beside him, but Cedric's body partially blocked his view, revealin

"Soph, can you promise Grandpa this request? I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see you and Cherry much longer," Jeff said.Jeff successfully broke through Sophie's inner conflict with his pitiful appeal. She wiped away her tears and nodded. "I promise you, Grandpa. Cherry and I will move back in.""Really? That's great! Matthew, go ask Dr. Zegler when I can be discharged. These old bones of mine don't want to waste any more time in the hospital." Jeff no longer had to hide his inner joy. While feeling pleased with himself, he also felt a little annoyed that he had not thought of this simple yet effective solution earlier."Okay, I'll go ask right away," Matthew said, not daring to delay as he quickly left the ward.-Luxford Group, in the CEO's office.Jeanna looked bewildered, obviously struggling to digest the news she had just received. "How could Cedric's grandfather suddenly get such a disease? I just saw him at his birthday party, and he was in such good spirits. Geez m
