Richard was stunned for a moment. He frowned, looking at Jonathan's face. It didn't look like a kid throwing a tantrum at all.Richard wasn't able to react to it in time. "You said you're not coming with me anymore… What do you mean? Do you want to stay here tonight?" Jonathan shook his head, his eyes steady in a way that didn't look like it came from a boy his age. He looked at Richard and said earnestly, "Dad, what I'm trying to say is… From now on, I'm not staying with you anymore. You should head back first."Richard wondered if he had heard it wrong and still couldn't process it. He stepped closer, frowning. "What do you mean? Why don't you want to stay with me anymore? Explain.""I want to live with Mom from now on. You should live the life you want and stop bothering us," Jonathan said as he raised his head. His face was just as serious.Hearing that, confusion flashed in Richard's eyes. His expression became hard to read. "Why?""I already told you. Eleanor's a bad perso

The doctor studied Richard for a long time. Once he saw Richard had really made up his mind, he nodded. "Alright. Since you're set on getting your memory back this way, I'll respect your decision. Following this, you will be placed in isolation nursing for seven days."Richard remained quiet for a while. Without another word, he signed the consent form the doctor handed him.He took the form home and, following the preparation notes, started getting ready for the hospital stay. He packed clothes and daily necessities into a suitcase.Trent called several times and got no answer. When he finally tracked Richard down, he found Richard packing nonstop, as if he was getting ready to go on a long trip.Puzzled, Trent opened the door and entered the room. "Where are you going? Why are you packing?"Hearing him, Richard looked up and gave him a brief glance. "Stay out of it.""No. I need to know where you're headed, or I'll worry. I already told you, you're not in a good state right n

Jonathan blinked but stayed silent. He smiled and said to Maria, "Maybe I'm just a little tired. I haven't slept at all since I got back from Dad's place.""Come downstairs and eat with me first. Go wash your hands, I'll wait for you downstairs," Maria said to him. She watched him leave, then rose to leave as well.As she passed the study, she raised her hand to knock and call her brother down for dinner, but voices drifted out from inside.First, it was Willow's voice. "Why is your family pushing you so hard?""I don't really know. Maybe because my parents had a check-up yesterday, and they're not as healthy as they used to be. Now they're worried that I'm still not married and don't have kids. They keep thinking about what's going to happen to me later on," Cameron said heavily.Hearing this, Maria stopped at the door. She hadn't expected Cameron to be here, and he had not said a word to her."So, what's the actual reason for you coming to see me today? It can't be because yo

Maria froze for a moment, not expecting Jonathan to be standing outside the door. Clearly, he had heard everything she had just said.Worried, she walked over and pulled him into her arms. "I know my decision probably made you uncomfortable. You still hope your dad and I can be together, but..."Jonathan quickly shook his head, cutting her off. "No, Mom. I never wanted you to feel like you have to be with Dad. If you like Cameron, you can even marry him. I don't have any objection, and I don't deserve to give my thoughts on this."He looked up at Maria with serious eyes and gave her a well-behaved smile. "Mom, this is your life. You don't need to worry about my feelings when you make your own choice."Maria was stunned. She had never imagined Jonathan would say something like that. For a moment, her chest ached.She raised her hand and gently patted Jonathan's head, her tone soft."Jonny, thank you for thinking of me, but don't ever feel that you're unworthy. You can have your

Trent froze for a second after hearing Maria's declaration, then hurried down the steps after her. "Wait, what did you just say?"Maria stopped and looked back at him. "I came here today to see Richard just to tell him that I'm officially with Cameron now. Jonny doesn't object."Trent stared at her with wide eyes. "Why did you choose to be together at this particular moment?"Maria caught that something was wrong with his choice of words. "Why can't I choose to be with Cameron now? Is there anything special about the timing? Explain yourself."Trent scratched his head, not sure what to say. "Can't you wait for a few more days? At least wait until Richard comes back before making your decision?"The way he kept holding back made it apparent he was hiding something. Maria's gaze turned cold. "What exactly do you mean by that? Richard is away on business. That has nothing to do with me being with someone else. Why do you want to make me wait?"Trent scratched his head again and stum
