    Balfour warned him in a grave tone. “With Theo’s issues bothering her, you shouldn’t add to her


    troubles.”

    Byran naturally felt for his sister, but he was also concerned about their ailing father. “But…”


    Balfour warned him again. “No calling her!”


    Byran obediently acquiesced, saying no more. But after ncing at his father lying on the hospital bed,


    he decided to ask his sister for help after all.


    Balfour had only forbidden him from calling their sister. He didn’t say anything about seeing her in


    person. So, Byran decided to go straight to the nchet Vi and request her presence.


    That wouldn’t be disobeying his brother’s instructions.


    The following day.


    McNeil woke up, refusing to eat. His eyes were dull and lifeless,pletely focused on Byran.


    “Where’s Pearl? When is sheing to see me?”


    Byran coaxed him helplessly. “Dad, eat something first. I haven’t called Pearl yet. It’s too early; she


    might still be asleep.”


    Hearing this, McNeil felt like his son was just tricking him, and the light in his eyes dimmed even further.


    He refused to eat, take his medicine, or talk.


    So, Byran had no choice but to leave him in the care of their household staff. Taking advantage of


    Balfour’s absence, who had gone to calm down their grandparents, he left the hospital for the nchet


    residence.


    The nchet Vi.


    When Byran arrived, the nchet family was having breakfast.


    The nchets and the Howards had always been at odds. So when Byran arrived at their doorstep,


    Marissa and Putnam didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet.


    Ellinor, however, sensed that Byran had something to say. She drank some milk, grabbed a sandwich,


    and led Byran into the garden for a chat after asking Veronica to watch the kids.


    “What brings you here so early?” Ellinor asked.


    Byran hesitated. “Sis, there’s something I need your help with.”


    Ellinor bit into her sandwich. “Go ahead. What is it?”


    Byran asked cautiously, “Can you promise to help me first, then I’ll tell you?”


    Ellinor narrowed her eyes. “From the looks of it, it’s not anything good. If you don’t say it, I’m going


    back inside to eat.”


    With that, she pretended to leave.


    Byran quickly stopped her. “Wait, don’t go! I’ll tell you.”


    Ellinor turned around. “Then spit it out.”


    Byran sighed. “Well… my dad… he tried to kill himselfst night. He’s in a bad way. Could youe to


    the hospital with me? Maybe say a few words to him and give him some hope.” Hearing the news of


    McNeil’s suicide attempt made Ellinor’s eyes flicker. She took a while to regain herposure before


    saying, “What has your father’s suicide attempt got to do with me? What good would it do if I went to


    see him and encouraged him?”


    “Of course, it would do him some good! You’re his daughter, too. He’ll definitely feel hopeful after


    hearing your words of encouragement.”


    Ellinor’s face darkened. “Who told him I was his daughter?”


    Byran realized his sister was getting angry and quickly shook his head. “No, no! I haven’t told him who


    you are. To calm him down, I only told him I’d bring his long-lost daughter to see him. Nothing more.”


    Ellinor’s face was cold. “In that case, you can simply find any girl tofort him. There’s no need to


    Involve me. I’ve cut all ties with him. His life or death has nothing to do with me.” Byran pleaded and


    grabbed Ellinor’s sleeve. “Sis… Dad’s not an idiot! He’ll know if we bring in a girl that looks nothing like


    him!”
