    "Don''t let me see you again!" snarled Edwin before he turned to leave.


    As he did, however, he saw a frail olddy walking over with a stick, her back hunched. She was holding a lunch box with her right hand and

    made eye contact with Edwin. Tears evidently welled up in her eyes in mere seconds.


    ’Ed ...Edwin?”


    The olddy was Noah''s mother. She was just over 50 years old, but because of the chemotherapy and other treatments, she looked older


    and weaker than an olddy who was in herte seventies or early eighty. She was so weak that the wind could blow her away.


    "Missus Sinir?’ No matter how absurd Edwin was, he could not possibly let himself talk badly to an elder suffering from cancer.


    "Mom, why are you here? Didn''t I ask you to stay put in the hospital?" Noah looked worried as she rushed over to take over the bag and


    helped her mother to sit in the room.


    Missus Sinir shook her head stubbornly. Her eyes were filled with tears. ’ How would I know you nearly got med if I didn''te?"


    She grabbed Edwin''s shirt with trembling hands. "Edwin, are you here to denounce and condemn


    Noah? Don''t me her, please. I was the one who gave her the substance. I don''t have many days left,


    but I just can''t bear to leave her. It just hurts me to see her not getting married or having children before


    I''m gone... That''s why she... Cough...cough..."


    Missus Sinir broke out into a coughing fit as she sobbed incessantly.


    Noah helped her mother wipe off the tears while feeling bad and sorry.


    Edwin’s elegant eyebrows furrowed at this as he then looked at Noah. Perhaps there was truly


    telepathy as Noah, too, looked at him. That was how they made eye contact.


    She bit her lip and looked away helplessly. '' Please leave. Regardless of the reason I drugged your


    drink, I''m still a shameless person.”


    Edwin felt his temple pulse several times.


    During the years he was rebellious and insisted on going abroad to further his study, Missus Sinir


    happened to be around to take care of Noah as her daughter preferred her mother''s cooking. Thus,


    Missus Sinir also took the liberty to look after him.


    She was kinder and gentler toward him than his own mother ever was.


    "I''m going to let this go because of Missus Sinir. Let''s send her back to the hospital for now.”


    In the corner where no one would notice, Noah curled up her lips evilly.'' See, even Edwin can be soft-


    hearted.''


    On the way to bring Missus Sinir back to the hospital, Noah turned on the radio. The radio host was


    broadcasting the news, and Edwin heard it.


    "Lately, rumors of the Best Actor Award winner, Patrick Atherton, being in a rtionship with actress


    Joanne Winters while filming together has been swirling around. There was a photo of them looking


    very intimate on the film set. Currently, there''s no response from the production team yet, but some


    fans discovered Patrick Atherton had followed Joanne winters in Twidder..."


    It was a piece of news about Joanne and Patrick, and it felt quite irritating.


    Noah pretended to look shocked and wanted to change the channel.


    However, Edwin stopped her from doing so and listened to the entire news broadcast.


    "Miss Winters is deeply in love with you. It must be some sort of rumor," remarked Noah.


    Deeply in love... Edwin''s heart inexplicably stirred upon hearing this.


    Noah observed the look on his face. ''He looks gloomy.''


    She pursed her lips and continued, "Patrick is your brother. I''m sure that''s why they''re close with each other, and that''s what makes people


    misunderstand them."


    Patrick was always busy with his filming and other endorsement activities. He had to fly around the world most of the time, and the only time


    they would see him was during Christmas. Besides, he was rather ''distant'' in the Atherton family''s lineage.


    Edwin trusted that Patrick did not know Joanne''s real identity. However, Joanne must know who Patrick was, and she should have been


    careful!


    ’D*mn that woman; attracting the attention of other men again.''


    Edwin''s expression looked vicious. However, he just raised his brow unhappily because Noah was around. "It''s normal to make up stories


    and gossip in the industry. I thought you should know it better, seeing as you''ve been working in this industry for many years."
