“Grandfather, how—how can you want someone like that, who probably doesn’t have any idea about treatment, to treat you?” Cassandra asked helplessly, staring at her grandfather in disbelief.

“Moreover, I don’t even think there’s any truth in what he just said—it’s nothing but gibberish that could only be understood by fools like him!” She spat, then glared hatefully and aggressively at the still-composed Xavier.

Just then, however, she heard heavy breathing beside her, compelling her to

  • Chapter 1591 – The Granny’s Embarrassment

    *****The elderly woman’s gaze swept over Xavier and Grace from head to toe, lingering on their clean appearance and the understated yet unmistakably expensive clothes they wore.That single observation only poured more fuel onto the fire already blazing inside her.Her eyes turned crimson with indignation as she thrust the long broom toward them like a spear, looking less like an elderly caretaker and more like a veteran general preparing to charge into battle.“Why?” she demanded, nearly choking on her own outrage. “Why would rich people abandon their own child? I always thought it was only those who couldn't afford to raise a child who left them at my doorstep.”“But you people...” She pointed accusingly at the couple again, her hand trembling with anger. “You have money! You have decent clothes! You look healthy! Yet you're even worse! At least poverty has an excuse. What's yours?”Without waiting for an answer, she launched into another relentless barrage.“Do you know how many c

  • Chapter 1590 – An Unexpected Misunderstanding

    *****Neither Xavier, Grace, nor even Little Lola could process the elderly woman's accusation.For several long moments, the three of them just stood rooted to the spot, staring at her in complete disbelief as though their minds had collectively stopped working.Her words echoed over and over inside their heads.“Take responsibility for your own children, for heaven's sake!""Stop dumping them here!"The accusation was so absurd that none of them could immediately figure out where to begin correcting it.And as such, an awkward silence settled over the courtyard.The elderly woman continued glaring at the couple with unwavering conviction, gripping the long broom as though it were a legendary divine weapon forged specifically to punish irresponsible parents.Meanwhile, Xavier, Grace, and Little Lola remained frozen for what felt like an eternity.Then, almost simultaneously, Xavier and Grace turned to look at each other.Their expressions mirrored each other perfectly… half speechles

  • Chapter 1589 – An Unanticipated Situation

    *****For a brief second after hearing Little Lola’s words, both Xavier and Grace merely stared at her, not reacting.Then, without realizing it, a complicated smile, brimming with warmth, admiration, and a faint trace of self-mockery, slowly appeared on Grace's face.She chuckled quietly before shaking her head."Compared to Little Lola..." she murmured with a soft sigh, "...I'm not kind at all."Little Lola was stunned for a second after hearing those words, then she immediately puffed out her cheeks."No!” She exclaimed with certainty,“Huh?” Grace blinked, lost.Little Lola shook her head seriously."Beautiful Sister Grace is kind."She pointed toward Xavier."Uncle is kind."Then she proudly poked her own tiny chest."And Little Lola is also kind."After saying that, she nodded with complete confidence, as though she had just delivered an undeniable universal truth.For a second, Xavier nearly laughed at how innocent the little girl was. ‘Me? Kind?’ he wondered to himself, as tho

  • Chapter 1588 – The Orphanage Home

    *****Xavier could already picture Grace stepping onto a cultivation path, advancing at an unimaginable speed, and shocking every so-called genius who had ever boasted about their gifts.Countless arrogant prodigies would probably spend their days questioning whether they had cultivated the wrong profession entirely.The image alone was enough to make the corners of his lips twitch upward.For a brief moment, he was genuinely tempted to verify it immediately.Unfortunately, this wasn't the time, nor was it the place.Suppressing his curiosity through sheer force of will, Xavier slowly steadied his breathing.Although his heart still refused to cooperate, he repeatedly reminded himself not to become overly hopeful.'Calm down,' he silently warned himself. 'Nothing has been confirmed yet.'Sadly, his own brain seemed determined to betray him.Instead of calming down, it enthusiastically began digging through every memory it had carefully stored away.Each recollection strengthened his s

  • Chapter 1587 – Xavier’s Abrupt Realization

    *****"Alright, Little Lola. Uncle and Sister will take you to the orphanage."The instant those words reached her ears, her enormous eyes exploded with excitement, sparkling so brightly they looked capable of chasing away the darkness outside the car all by themselves."Yah!"She bounced straight upward in pure delight, nearly smashing the top of her head against the roof of the vehicle.Xavier's pupils shrank at this, his heart practically leaping into his throat."Careful!"Fortunately, Little Lola landed safely, completely oblivious to the mini heart attack she had just gifted him.Instead, she immediately began wriggling in her seat, kicking her tiny feet happily and performing what could only be described as an enthusiastic victory dance that had absolutely no rhythm whatsoever.If professional dancers ever witnessed that performance, they would probably retire on the spot… not because it was impressive, but because it somehow ignored every known law of coordinated movement.Lit

  • Chapter 1586 – Xavier’s Guilt

    *****For a long moment, Xavier merely stared at Little Lola, his thoughts momentarily grinding to a halt as he tried to process her answer.Truthfully, he hadn't given much thought to how she intended to distribute the remaining bags of Labubus.In his mind, perhaps she would visit another corner of the marketplace or stumble across a few more disadvantaged children along the way.But... her answer completely caught him off guard."The orphanage?" he finally repeated after several seconds, looking at the excited little girl with unconcealed curiosity.A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he tilted his head. "How do you even know what an orphanage is?"Little Lola didn't appear the least bit offended by the question.Instead, she blinked once before bursting into an adorable fit of giggles."Hehe... Uncle thinks Little Lola doesn't know what an orphanage is?" she asked between laughs, clutching her tiny stomach as though Xavier had just told the funniest joke she had ever
