"Good day grandfather. Good day—" He paused as he thought of how to address Liana's mother. Should he call her mother?No, that isn't right... They weren't related just yet. "How are you feeling boy?""Grandfather," Jed turned his attention to Lord of Stocks. "My bones feel rusty.""That's expected. I'm just glad you are okay or I would have been worried on how to handle your investments."Jed smiled awkwardly; Liana already told her grandfather. Well, maybe Lord of Stocks would think with his current investments, he was suitable for his granddaughter.His forehead was suddenly covered with a soft and warm palm. He looked up at Liana's mother and she smiled. He could see the resemblance."Good. You aren't running temperature. You used to have that constantly while you were unconscious," she brushed his hair and for a minute, Jed wondered... Was this what it meant to have a mother?He would have missed her saying, "You really look like her... Just like her."Jed's eyes glazed. Her? Was

Jed looked around the room when no one was saying a thing. "Adam?" He called out to the person that would know but Adam remained mute.His gaze swept around Irwin, Mason and Liana. He felt a sense of dread seeing their solemn faces."Something didn't happen to Ben, did it?" His voice faltered. "We couldn't find Eric that day... Did something happen to him?""Damn it! Someone should say something. Are they alright? Where's Eric?""Don't mention that name!" Liana's sudden outburst startled him. "The doctor has asked you not to stress yourself so why bother about these unnecessary matters?""They are not unnecessary," Jed retorted. He had never seen her look so angry but he was also upset she referred to his friends as not important."They are my friends."Liana bit back a mocking laugh and Adam held her hand, shaking his head for her not to say anything that would agitate him.Although the doctor said Jed had recovered and was out of danger for now, he is still under probation and anyth

Grandfather Palmer breathed harshly and tapped his walking stick on the ground angrily before pointing it at Ben."You..!" He stopped to pant and Ben's eyes flickered with worry. "After spending so many years in the army, your obstinate attitude hasn't left you!""Grandfather, are you alright?" Ben wanted to take a step but the old man stubbornly stopped him."Stay where you are! How can I be alright? The wars at the army didn't kill me and I'm at a ripe, old age yet you want to use your willfulness to finish me off.""Grandfather," Ben's face hardened. "I came back home only because you requested me to do so. I have always obliged to all your demands but I can't fulfill this wish."Grandfather Palmer was beyond furious. "You unfilial child!""Why are you talking as if we have given you a death sentence? Do you want to end this lineage before our eyes? Your parents are eager to hold their grandchildren and I also want to see my great grandchildren running around."Ben frowned and told

Bang!The car behind already caught up with them and took the opportunity to hit their car. Jed gritted his teeth and quickly got out of the way.He could already imagine how the scratch on the brand new SUV would be."You..." He gave Liana a glance before turning to the road. She was looking all innocent like she didn't almost get them caught."Can you refrain from saying those things?"Liana pouted. "It's not my fault you got distracted. I'm tired of this chase. Why don't you just stop the car and face him?" Whish!Jed swerved the car again just in time to avoid another hit. He would have stopped this car if it weren't because of her.They came for him and he doesn't want to take a risk. "It'll be over soon," He promised and fixed a determined gaze on the road as he operated the gear.Before the car behind knew what was going on, the SUV had already picked pace, swiftly maneuvering from them. They soon lost track of it and stopped their car.Unlike what Liana had thought, it wasn't

Jake was confused. But he didn't ask any questions. He walked out just in time to hear the bodyguard losing it in front of a redhead."You! Who do you think you are? How dare you slander our young master and this hospital like this? I'll have the security throw you out immediately as I'm scared I'll break your bones with how angry I am!""Which sort of physician has his own bodyguard? Is he some kind of big shot?" Scarlett snorted, holding Eva tighter in her arms. Her little girl was frightened by this scary bodyguard and kept holding on tightly to her sleeves. If it wasn't because of Liana's recommendation, she wouldn't be here.She thought she had finally found a physician that could cure her daughter. She didn't expect him to be so arrogant and even his bodyguard more unruly!"Stop!" Jake stopped the bodyguard just as he wanted to grab Scarlett. Naturally, he was displeased at the way she insulted his dignity but he had received an order he couldn't defy."Young master, she—" the
