    Jimmy replied to Shirley, [That’s because I’m the apple of Cynthia’s eye.]


    Jimmy replied to Mitchell, [She didn’t.]


    [Dwarf 1: You’re living the life, man! Did you get your idol’s autograph?]


    [Dwarf 2: What the hell! This is unfair! I asked Cynthia to take me, but she didn’t!]


    [Dwarf 3: You’re so excited about just watching a race. I didn’t even say anything about sleeping with


    Cynthia!]


    Jimmy replied, [Shut up!]


    [Dwarf 1: Stop being bitter because you’re single!]


    [Dwarf 2: Stop being bitter because you’re single!]


    [Dwarf 3: Stop being bitter because you’re single!]


    Jimmy got angrier as he read thements. He was so mad that it showed on his face while he sat in


    the passenger seat.


    “Cynthia, they’re making fun of me for being single!”


    “It’s okay. I’ll be the same as you soon,” Cynthia said.


    Jimmy’s eyes lit up,


    a little.


    and he replied to the others with what Cynthia had said, and his anger dissipated


    Cynthia drove around the suburbs for a fewps and only returned home around one o’clock in the


    morning.


    Shey in bed, finally feeling calm andposed.


    She realized a profound truth that she was quite happy with her life as a single person. She had friends


    to keep herpany when she was unhappy and friends to share her joy.


    A romantic rtionship was not a necessity in life.


    In the following days, Cynthia continued to live in a carefree state. Most of her time was spent studying


    the information her father gave her. If it were not for the call from Jiverton, she could have


    stayed in Nexuria until the day she received her divorce certificate.


    When Mrs. Neal Senior called, Cynthia initially did not want to answer, but she gave in when the phone


    rang for the second time.


    “Hello, Cynthia?”


    “Yes, Mom.”


    “Can youe to Nexuria?” Mrs. Neal Senior knew Cynthia had gone to Jiverton, and her tone

    reflected herplicated emotions. “Old Man Neal was infuriated by what Joshua did to you, he’s


    currently still in critical condition.”


    and


    Cynthia’s grip on the phone tightened. Old Man Neal was extremely kind to her, even better than her


    own grandfather.


    “Okay.”


    After hanging up the phone, she told Jimmy and Shirley.


    Shirley could not help but feel worried and asked, “Cynthia, can Ie with you?”


    Cynthia was gentle with Shirley. “I’m going there for errands, but we can go to Jiverton together when


    it’s your school break, okay?”


    “If you need anything, call me. Don’t bear it alone.”


    “Okay.”


    “Cynthia!”


    “Yes?”


    “I’m not just your sister, but I’m also your confidant.”


    Cynthia paused and walked over to ruffle Shirley’s hair, smiling softly. “Goodbye.”


    Shirley insisted on driving her to the airport, and Cynthia did not stop her.


    When she arrived in Jiverton, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.


    Cynthia called Mrs. Neal Senior from the taxi and went straight to the hospital after finding out where


    they were. By the time she arrived, Old Man Neal had been transferred to the ward, and he was awake.


    However, he still looked pale and was not as lively as before.


    “Cynthia?” Mrs. Neal Senior was the first to notice her.


    Cynthia brought along Old Man Neal’s favorite fruits and some health supplements. After putting the


    things down, she greeted everyone.


    Apart from her and Mrs. Neal Senior, there was only Old Man Neal and Joshua


    Chapter 52


    Joshua’s demeanor was somewhat calmer, dressed in a meticulously tailored ck pinstripe suit, his


    handsome features creased with a hint of gloom. However, the palm print on his face was the most


    striking part.


    Did Old Man Neal do that?


    “Cynthia,e here.”


    Old Man Neal’s mood improved slightly upon seeing her.


    Cynthia walked over.


    She was genuinely worried about Old Man Neal. In their two years of knowing each other, she had


    found him to be a very interesting person, knowledgeable, and not at all old–fashioned.


    They had developed a true grandfather–granddaughter rtionship.


    “I know about your situation,” Old Man Neal took Cynthia’s hand, his eyes filled with guilt. “It was our


    family’s fault… I failed to educate that boy properly.”


    “This is his fault. It has nothing to do with you or the Neal family,” Cynthiaforted him softly.


    Joshua was taken aback by her choice of words.


    Old Man Neal felt even moreplicated, feeling increasingly guilty toward Cynthia.


    Cynthia was such a good girl, yet Joshua was too foolish to appreciate her!


    “Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, that woman will never enter the Neal family. If he dares to act


    recklessly, I’ll end my life in front of him,” Old Man Neal spoke sternly.


    “Grandpa…” Joshua looked disapprovingly.


    Old Man Neal did not even nce at Joshua, truly angry with him.


    Cynthia was also shocked by Old Man Neal’s words, and she consoled him again, “Grandpa, that’s not


    a good idea.”


    “Do you have a better idea?”


    “Yes.”


    “Let’s hear it.”


    “You should stay healthy and lively. That is the greatest deterrent,” Cynthia suggested.

    “Is that so?”


    Cynthia coaxed, not wanting to upset him, “Of course. If the family of the person I like doesn’t approve


    of me, I’ll be trembling with fear, and I’ll back down when I hear their family members‘


    names.”
