Chapter 596


    After the door was closed, Theo smiled with satisfaction. His emotions were very stable as if he was


    waiting for that day toe.


    When she walked out of the door, the usually strong Natalie shed tears. A tear flowed down from the


    corner of her eye, but she quickly wiped it away. In her pocket, there were the envelopes that Theo had


    given her. She touched them with her finger, and it seemed that she could feel all the dense words


    inside.


    After sorting out her emotions, Natalie prepared to hide the envelopes. She pushed open the door and


    saw Trevon changing. When he saw Natalie enter with red eyes, he guessed, "Grandpa isn''t doing


    well."


    Natalie was in a hurry to hide the envelopes and urged the man to go downstairs. "No, we just chatted


    for a while. You can go down and watch the kids, lest they are too noisy and distract Theo from


    sleeping."


    Unexpectedly, behind Natalie, Trevon''s low and muffled voice sounded. "Grandpa gave you his will?"


    Hearing this, Natalie turned around with a jerk. She suspected that this man was lying in the corner just


    now. Otherwise, how would he know? "You..."


    Trevon interrupted Natalie''s words as if he had expected it. "I was raised by my grandfather since I was


    young. I can think of whatever he can think of and what he can''t think of. You''ve been in the room for


    so long, and your eyes are still red when youe back. Wouldn''t the matter be clear?"


    His tone was rxed, but Natalie''s heart ached for him. Trevon was recalling the past that his


    grandfather had lectured him. She was sure that Trevon was recalling the memories he had with his


    grandfather. It was just that he was a man and did not chatter like a girl, nor did he cry.


    Even though he knew what Natalie had gotten from Theo, Trevon did not ask her to show it to her. He


    respected his grandfather. "Go and hide what Grandpa gave you. Since he wants to keep us in


    suspense, I should fulfill his wish."


    "Trevon..." Natalie could not bear to see Trevon suppress the sadness in his heart. The rims of his eyes


    were red. But before she could say anything, Trevon had already pushed her forward. Touching her


    earlobe, he pushed open the door to go downstairs. "I''ll go and see Sophia."


    Natalie was left standing on the spot. As she watched Trevon go downstairs, she felt sorry for him. If


    Trevon''s grandfather left him one day, how devastated would he be?


    After staying silent for a while, Natalie turned around and ced the documents in the safe, where


    there were her grandfather''s documents. She ced the envelopes in her pocket on top and pressed


    them with her hand with mixed feelings. She looked at the ovepping documents and was silent for a


    while before closing the safe again.


    Since Trevon did not intend to read the letter now, she ced it in a ce that both of them knew.


    When he wanted to see the content of the letter, he could take it himself or read it behind her back.


    It turned out that Theo had overestimated himself and underestimated the child he had raised. Trevon


    could already anticipate Theo''s next move. It was just that he cooperated with Theo and pretended not


    to know.


    The next morning.


    When Jasper finished eating and was about to go to school, Trevon instructed, "Go upstairs and say


    goodbye to Great-grandpa."


    Jasper replied calmly, cing the bag he had just picked up on the chair again, "Okay."


    He ran upstairs and carefully pushed open the door. Seeing that Theo had already gotten up and was


    sitting on the bed reading a book, Jasper approached with a smile and said, "Great-grandpa, are you


    feeling better?"


    Theo was extremely touched. He smiled lovingly, his eyes filled with smiles and wrinkles. "I''m doing


    okay. Why aren''t you going to school yet, baby Jasper? You''re going to bete."


    Jasper walked closer and shook Theo''s hand. His big rough hand wrapping around Jasper''s tender


    hand, Theo suppressed his sadness and asked, "Are you here to say goodbye to me?"


    "Yes, great-grandpa, if you''re not feeling well, tell Mommy. Mommy is a doctor. I''m going to school. I''ll


    Theo nodded and smiled. His eyes flickered. Jasper was afraid that he would not be able to see him


    when he came back from school. Theo found sce in the realization that Jasper was such a sensible


    kid. He said, "Alright, I will wait for you toe back. Go to school."


    "Alright, great-grandpa, I learned another word. I''ll write it for you when Ie back from school."


    Jasper, a boy of few words, said a lot at once. Perhaps it was because Theo often apanied him


    and instructed him.


    Jasper was practicing handwriting. In his free time, Theo would teach Jasper handwriting personally.

    patience.


    Jasper closed the door again and went downstairs. Trevon was already waiting at the top of the stairs


    and said, "Let''s go."


    "Yeah."


    "You guys go first. I''ll go see Theo before I hit the road. Go, I''ll drive to the base myself." Natalie urged


    Trevon and said, "Hurry up. Jasper is going to bete."


    Upon hearing this, Trevon finally moved away. In the car, Jasper could tell that Trevon, who was driving


    in front. was in a bad mood. He called in a low voice, "Dad."


    Trevon nced at the little guy sitting behind from the corner of his eye and found that Jasper looked


    like a little adult. "If you have something to say, say it. Don''t stutter."


    Jasper asked, "Is great-grandpa going to die?"


    As soon as he said this, even the air around him froze. It was so quiet that Jasper could hear his own


    heartbeat. Jasper held his breath and waited for his father''s answer. He had learned some experience


    from watching television dramas that the elderly were like this when they were sick.


    Trevon paused for a moment and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Great-grandpa wants to go


    far away to be with Great-grandma."


    Trevon thought that his son would continue to ask, but he didn''t. Jasper pursed his lips in silence. He


    quietly looked at the scenery outside. It was unknown what he was thinking, but Trevon could tell from


    his face that he wasn''t happy. There was sadness that belonged to a child shown on his face.


    After school that day, Jasper couldn''t wait to put down his bag as soon as he came back home. Then,


    he went straight upstairs to see Theo. Behind him, Natalie reminded him to be careful.


    Jasper shared the interesting things that happened in the kindergarten with Theo in the room. Theo


    listened attentively and smiled from time to time. Half an hourter, Jasper reminded Theo to have a


    good rest.


    Looking at his sensible great-grandson, at that moment, Theo felt that the little darling he held in his


    hands had grown up. No wonder his destiny was at hand.


    After Jasper left, Trevon returned early. Like his son, he went straight to the second floor as soon as he


    entered. When he opened the door, he found that the old man was already lying down. The room was


    very quiet, so he retreated and closed the door again.


    Then, he went downstairs to ask Rachel about Theo''s condition today. Rachel said that he was in a


    better state today than yesterday. He had eaten a lot, but he slept two hours longer than yesterday.


    Time passed just like that. Day after day, Theo spent more time in sleeping than staying awake. Time


    slowly dimmed his memory. He kept repeating what had happened yesterday, thinking that it was what


    had happened today.


    No matter how powerful a person was, it was an unchangeable fact that their memories andnguages


    declined with age.


    Theo even called the names of his two great-granddaughters wrongly. He remembered Jasper''s name


    quite well. It was not strange that Theo was confused. The twins were as like as two peas. Not only


    Theo got them mixed up, but even the healthy Gage often made mistakes.


    Days psed.


    On this day, Theo did not eat. The food that was brought up was brought down intact. Mary wiped her


    tears and said to Rachel, who was standing downstairs, in a broken voice, "Madam, Mr. Wilson still ate


    nothing."


    He didn''t eat breakfast, nor did he eat lunch or dinner... "Give it to me," said Rachel.


    Rachel ced the dinner on the bedside table and said, "Theo, eat some. If Trevones back and


    finds out that you eat nothing for a day, he must be worried. Eat at least one bite."


    Without Theo knowing, Trevon had already slept on the sofa in Theo''s room for three consecutive


    nights for a reason that he was afraid something unexpected would happen on the night.


    "Rachel used to address Theo ''Mr. Wilson''. Ever since Natalie married into the family and called her


    Rachel, which was agreeable to Theo, Rachel had changed the way she called Theo."


    "s, alright. I''ll have a bite then." Theo''s hands were trembling non-stop. His voice was weak, and his


    eyes were sunken. There was no flesh on his cheeks, and he looked in a sorry state.


    Even his usually straight back was bent. Rachel was about to feed Theo when she was stopped by


    Theo. The strong-willed Theo would not allow himself to be fed one day. "Don''t worry, I''m still breathing.


    Your mother-inw probably doesn''t want me to see her soon."


    Rachel retracted her hand. Her eyes were filled with tears. Theo''s bodily functions were declining. Even


    his appetite was decreasing. A few days ago, he could still eat a bowl of oatmeal. Today, he lost his


    appetite. No wonder Trevon secretly came to this room to sleep. She suggested worriedly, "Why don''t


    we send you to the base or Athana Hospital?" New chаpter av?ble on NovelDrama.Org


    Theo took half a spoonful of oatmeal and stuffed it into his mouth with difficulty. After swallowing it, he


    took a minute to catch his breath before replying to his daughter-inw, "It won''t make any difference.


    It''s not I''m not seriously ill. It''s just I''m getting old and my organs are declining. There''s no way to


    rece or fix them. I can only die."


    Rachel''s throat was sore and her eyes were red. She had always kept her emotions in control, but at


    this moment, she broke down. Theo had always treated her like his own daughter and in this family,


    she always had a say. "I see. Theo, I wish you could stay with us a little longer. My mother-inw won''t


    be angry with you if you''rete to see you. She''s always been good-tempered and won''t me you."


    Rachel knew that Theo was reminding her to understand and ept Natalie. He was putting in a good


    word for her daughter-inw. She had long looked at Natalie in a different light. After spending so much


    time with her, Rachel had bonded with her. "I won''t make things difficult for Natalie. She''s very


    outstanding. Trevon has good taste. I was a little short-sighted."


    "It''s not that you''re short-sighted. It''s just that everyone has a first impression. People tend to judge


    someone by their first impression. It takes time for someone to get to know the highlights of other


    people. It''s the same case for Natalie."


    Rachel said, "Yes, I know."


    "The two of them talked for a long time. Theo told Rachel about hisst words. In brief, after he was


    gone, Rachel could be said to be in charge of this family. Theo had no choice but to instruct her again."
