    A few minutester, a soft knock came at Emmett’s door.


    He got up to open it and saw Elio standing there, looking all tense.


    “Mr. Melendez.”

    “Do you know why I wanted to see you?” Emmett stepped aside to let him in.


    Elio took a deep breath, trying to rx, and replied with a smile, “I have no clue. Is it about ra?”


    “Not just that.” Emmett closed the door, “Years ago, you delivered my son.”


    “Really? It must’ve been a while back, I can’t remember.” Elioughed awkwardly, scratching his head,


    “I had the honor of delivering Mr. Melendez’s baby. How’s the little one doing now?”


    “Elio Emmett squinted at him, “Quit ying dumb! That woman and my child, you can’t possibly not


    know! Tell me, where they are?”


    Elio’s throat felt dry.


    He couldn’t betray ra! Alex was her life, and he knew that very well.


    Seeing Elio remain silent, Emmett said coldly, “Let me warn you, it wasn’t easy for the Melendez family


    to get where we are today, you should know the consequences if you lie to me! Don’t mess with the


    century–old legacy of the Melendez family.”


    “Mr. Melendez, I honestly don’t know! And it’s been so many years that I can’t remember clearly! I was


    called inst minute to deliver the baby and left right after! I can’t remember the details. Mr. Melendez,


    even if you threaten me, I have genuinely forgotten!”


    “Seems like you won’t admit your mistake.” Emmett took out his phone and pressed a button, “Now, I


    will shut down a Milburn family chain hospital every five minutes.


    Hearing this, Elio immediately said, “Stop, Mr. Melendez! What are you trying to do?”


    “Just to let you know I’m not joking”


    This involves your bloodline, you’re definitely not joking, and I wouldn’t dare joke with you either! I really


    don’t know. How about this? Give me some time to look into it! Is that okay?”


    Elio cautiously observed Emmett’s expression.


    He knew every move Emmett made now was very important.


    Although he knew clearly that Alex was ra’s life, he also knew that the Milburn’s legacy was the


    result of his parents‘ lifetime of hard work! He was


    torn.


    “How long do you need?” Emmett said.


    “One month!”


    “Three days.”


    Elio was shocked, “Three days? I might not even be able to contact the people from back then!”


    “That’s your problem.”


    “Alright, alright! Three days it is.” Elio was now trying to buy as much time as possible, urgently looking


    for ways to protect the Milburn family while also protecting ra, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going!


    Good night, Mr. Melendez.”


    Emmett nced at Elio, “Wait! You haven’t exined your rtionship with ra”


    “We’re just friends now. I’m not sure what you want me to exin, Mr. Melendez.”


    “Just friends?” Emmett took a step forward, towering over Elio despite his tall stature, “You want more


    than friendship; you’re trying to woo her, aren’t


    you?”
