“Jason, if you want to call her, do it,” rice said when she saw her son staring at his phone. for over ten minutes. “You’re a good
boy. You know what you should do and what you
shouldn’t. If you want to call her, just do it.”
Jason closed his eyes. “She’s a very kind person.”
rice frowned. “So are you.”
“There’s something that’s trying to burst out of my heart… I don’t think I can hold it back anymore,” Jason said as he opened his
eyes. His eyes were full of despair. “Mom, do you love Dad?”
rice smiled as she nodded. “If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t have willingly allowed my reputation to be spoiled all these years.”
Jason then said, “He gave up his inheritance and Maxwell Corporation for you all those years. ago, but it didn’t stop the world
from tormenting you. Even then, you never hated how cruel fate is?”
“I’m not a saint, but I hold back. Love made me hold back.” Suddenly, rice paused before. saying regretfully, “Speaking of
which, it’s my fault for hurting Fiast time.”

“Let bygones be bygones,” Jason said. “I can see how you and Dad are living together. I believe he will
protect you.”
“Of course.” rice nodded, joy reflected in her eyes as she thought about Garrett.
Jason felt he was being cruel, but he had to first make them ready for it. “Dad is bing busy again
likest time because I have to rest and stay at home.”
“True. Originally, we wanted to enjoy ourselves while you ve away. s!” rice half- jokingly said.
She didn’t want to pin the me on her son at all. “But it’s fine. If you can rest here quietly while your
father’s busy, I rather he stays in the office.”
“Mom, after I’m healed, I want to rest for a while more,” Jason said.
rice asked, “You want to return to being a doctor again?”
Jason shook his head. “No. I just want to have some rest.”
“You want to ck off?” rice smiled. “Sure, I’ll support you!”
“About Dad…” He was worried that his father wouldn’t agree to it.
rice then said, “Don’t worry about him. When he’s busy at thepany, I’ll go over and apany
him. It’s just a change of environment. We’ve been together for so long now that we’ll be able to adapt
to it easily.”
“That’s for the best,” Jason said, as he gave her a grin.
rice went over and patted his arm. “As for you, just rest for a while. I hope that you’ll be able to meet
your Juliet soon!”
Fia wore her suit and put a pillow on her knees before looking at the time on the phone.
When Sophia saw it, she asked, “Why are you staring at the phone?”
Fia yawned. “I want to take a nap, but Eileen’sing back today. I’m worried that I’ll miss the time
that I have to pick her up.”
“Just sleep, Madam. You can tell me the time and I’ll wake you up beforehand.” Sophia chuckled. That
was not something too critical.
Fia shook her head. “That won’t do. It will make me look insincere. What if God saw my insincerity and punished Eileen instead?”
Sophia was speechless. Was this what they meant by “punishing those who you care for for your crime”?
“Madam… Isn’t that a bit too superstitious?”
“When it’s the people that I care about that’s at stake, I don’t mind being a little

superstitious,” Fia said sincerely as she rubbed her eyes.
Sophia couldn’t bear it anymore. “Maybe you can wash your face?”
“That’s a good idea!” Fia immediately stood up, but she lost her footing a little, wobbling in her steps.
Sophia quickly went over to hold her up. “Maybe you should take a nap, Madam. Even thirty minutes will help.”
Fia sat back down and finally said, “Set an rm for me, then.”
She was worried that Sophia wouldn’t wake her up out of pity. That was why she rather set up an rm for her nap.
“Who are you?! What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid of the police?!” The Evans’ caretaker screamed. Even the servants
