"Miss Abigail, you must apologize to Adam." "You've accused him!" Several guests urged Abigail to apologize to Adam. Abigail exhaled a long breath. She had no desire to apologize to Adam. He was a man who was beneath her. "Miss Abigail, please apologize to Adam!" Some of them persuaded Abigail to do so. "I don't want to; he's a braggart son-in-law." "How can I make amends to him?" Abigail was obstinate. She never wanted to apologize to Adam. Adam was a lowly Queni family member to her. Her grandfather was the only one who wanted her to join the Queni family. Abigail would have evicted Adam if her grandfather had died. Abigail left the room. Bram went after his wife. "She has embarrassed us, my dear." "I dislike him. He made us look bad!" Abigail continued to curse Adam's actions. Adam, in a way, became the center of attention. "Thank you, Mr. Steven." Adam extended his hand to the man. Mr. Steven was thanked for saving his life. "Not a problem, Mr. Adam." "Don't call me sir,
"Who was the strange man who was at the funeral yesterday?""I saw him, and he seemed to be very sad about Mr. Xavier's death.""Is he the new bodyguard here?" Mrs. Loli walked up to Diana, who could only look down."Bring your father down to meet me tomorrow!""Make sure he and I meet!" she ordered. Diana nodded her head in understanding."Yes, Madame Loli."The woman smiled in satisfaction that Diana was so respectful to her. Madame Loli sat in Mr. Xavier's swivel chair. She was the only sibling of Mr. Xavier."Then, about the information that is being spread, is it true that you have a relationship with that man?" Madame Loli raised an eyebrow as she looked at Diana. Diana looked down in shame. She didn't dare look into Madame Loli's demon-like eyes."I listened to her.""That you would betray Alex.""Look at me!""I want to hear it straight from your lips!" she ordered. The woman's voice was quite high, and a little frightened, Diana looked at Madame Loli.The woman got up from he
"What's wrong?" "Tell me, why are you so loyal to Mr. Alex?""Come on, Adam, it's the world. What do you think about other than money?""Did you expect Miss Diana to come and give you so much money because you were so obedient to her?" Adam shook his head. They were outside the room, not far from Alex's room at the moment. Soni's brow furrowed; she didn't understand what Adam meant. Soni had never met a sincere person who didn't care about money. This seemed impossible. As a bodyguard, Soni had worked for years with Miss Diana. She had met many people who were all like dogs who obeyed their master because of money."And then?""So what?""Why do you look so strange? What do you expect besides money? Don't lie if you don't expect money, Adam.""What man is there in this world who doesn't expect money?" Soni laughed out loud at his own words.Adam smiled."I understand the meaning of friends; that's what makes me loyal to Alex.""It's weird and silly. But that's what I've understood al
The Queni family was talking about Grandpa Thomas returning from his business trip. All the son in laws in the Queni family welcomed him. Brams and Abigail were no exception. They gave a gift to Grandpa Thomas. "What did you give me?" he asked Adam, who had been silent. Alex didn't know what Adam's relationship was with the old man. But as he had heard, only Grandpa Thomas treated Adam well. They were close; Alex guessed."Grandpa!" Adam hugged Grandpa Thomas."My grandson-in-law, are you okay here?""Why do you look different?""You would give me hot tea." Grandpa Thomas frowned at Adam, who looked confused. If only the old man knew that the Adam he was meeting now was not his favorite grandson."Give Grandpa the tea." Adam scratched his head, which wasn't itchy."Tea?"The old man nodded his head."Yes, my grandson!" he replied. Juni, seeing her husband's confusion, immediately pulled Adam's hand away."Don't you know your habits, Adam?""You always serve hot tea to Grandpa.""Why a
"Can you pick me up at Abigail's sister's house?" "I'm staying there." "I want you to pick me up!" Adam's cell phone vibrated, and he listened to the voice message Juni had sent him this morning. The jade in his hand was placed on the table. "Why did you leave the house without telling me?" "What's your business?" "I need to talk to Abigail." "After returning from grandma's house, you seemed strange. Grandpa asked us to dinner tomorrow. Remember, don't tell Grandpa anything about what you experienced here!" "Watch what you say to Grandpa!" Adam couldn't understand what his wife was saying. The phone call was disconnected. Adam picked up the jade stone on the table and looked at it [System!] [The master will get 5 life points when using the magic jade.] The system will arrange it! Adam looked at the transparent screen. "Yes, I'll use this jade," Adam exclaimed. [The system will manage!] The system disappeared from his sight. Adam looked at the wall clock in his room at th
"Help!" "Help!" Adam whimpered in pain. His legs seemed to have no feeling. He wanted to get up, but his legs felt like they couldn't support him. After a while, his vision blurred. He didn't remember anything anymore. "Adam?" "Adam?" The voice was audible. Adam had no idea who was calling him. He opened his eyes, and now his body was in a room he didn't know at all."It hurts!" he whimpered."Be patient, Mr. Adam; we are helping you." A woman dressed in white was standing in front of him and cleaning the wound on his leg. Not only was his leg broken, but his temple was also injured.Adam tried to move his leg, but he couldn't do so."What happened?""You fainted!" said one of the nurses who was applying a bandage to his leg. Adam could only surrender and accept the treatment given by the two women. Adam guessed that he was now in the hospital, but who was carrying him this time?"No, no, it's not the hospital!" Adam realized this as he looked at the two women who were busy cleanin
Abraham couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. Adam stood up. The middle-aged man couldn't open his mouth at all due to shock."Mr. Alex?" he called. Alex realized that Abraham had been watching him all along. Alex was standing in the mirror and trying to jump and run a little. The jade in his hand was magical."Can you do that?"Adam smiled."Come here, Abraham!" he called. Abraham stepped closer. He looked at Adam's feet with an expression of disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now."I can move because of the magic of this jade.""Do you believe that?"Adam looked at Abraham. The middle-aged man was still amazed by the miracle he saw. He had seen Adam whimpering in pain from a broken leg, but now Adam's leg was healed thanks to Jade. This is completely beyond logic, he thought.Abraham touched Adam's bandaged leg. "Is this real, sir?""Am I not mistaken?""It's a miracle." Alex smiled. He nodded his head."Yes!" he replied, pointing the jade at Abraham. N
Ares stood on the balcony of the house and looked at the area of the house that was his mother's childhood home.No one knew the area of this house. In a large house on the edge of town, Adam found himself immersed in a bittersweet atmosphere. The house that was once filled with his mother's hustle and bustle was now empty and echoed with a poignant silence. As he sat in solitude, his mind drifted back to the past, where memories of his mother's presence still existed, creating a deep sense of longing and loneliness. Adam felt very homesick for his mother. He wanted his mother in his midst. Now, it's just him in this world. He felt a loneliness. Adam remembered how caring and affectionate his mother was. But the accident twenty years ago made Adam understand that death is a certainty. Death makes him part with someone very dear to him in this world. Faced with this terrible condition, Adam felt he had to become a strong man to face all the challenges he would face in the future. "S
