Chapter 179 Whatever You Say

Then, Madelyn took out her phone and called Sebastian.

“What's up?” Sebastian's voice, usually cold, seemed to carry an unexpected warmth over the line.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Madelyn’s mouth by reflex.

“I might not be coming hfor dinner tonight. Dad's sick, and | want to stay here to take care of him. Is that

okay?” Madelyn inquired softly.

Sebastian gave a slight nod, grunting in affirmation. At this, Madelyn also found herself at ease.

The entire afternoon passed, and Madelyn didn’t go anywhere.

Her father was upstairs, resting. She, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the living room couch downstairs,

watching television to pass the time. Every now and then, she would venture to the refrigerator in search of a

snack before returning to her spot on the couch.

Regina and Eunice were watching her closely from the side. Seeing her acting as if everything nothing was wrong

the entire afternoon, they rolled their eyes in annoyance.

When night fell, Derek had awakened, and dinner was prepared. The butler was about to take a portion upstairs

for Derek when the doorbell rang

Reluctantly, the butler turned to open the door. As the door swung open, there stood Sebastian, impeccably

dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His handsfigure radiated an extraordinary charisma at the entrance.

The butler promptly lowered his head, respectfully announcing, “Mr. Lockhart has arrived.”

“Mmm-hmm. With a nonchalant response, Sebastian walked straight in.

“Sebastian? What are you doing here? Upon seeing Sebastian, a wave of joy surged through Madelyn. Her face lit

up, making her look even more attractive.

Although Sebastian remained expressionless, he inexplicably felt a touch of joy inside.

He then said nonchalantly, “Your father is ill, isn’t he? | cto pay him a visit.”

After he finished speaking, Malcolm, carrying bags of all sizes, entered through the door.

The items he held in his hands were evidently expensive supplements.

“Lettake you to him then.” Madelyn said with a gentle smile.

Sebastian nodded, following along

supplements prepared and cto pay a visit,”

In response, Malcolm promptly placed all the supplements on the ground.

*Sebastian, | appreciate it.” Derek, lying on the bed, saw this and his face broke into a warm smile.

“Don’t mention it.” A slight smile tugged at the comer of Sebastian's mouth.

Derek continued to ask, “Have you eaten?”

Sebastian responded truthfully, “Not yet.”

Immediately, Derek turned his gaze toward Regina, “Regina, quick, get the housekeeper to prepare dinner!”

“Mr. Thornton, your meal is ready.” At this moment, the butler walked in respectfully, holding the portion

prepared for Derek.

“That's good then, Derek said, feeling relieved,

At that moment, no one noticed how brightly Eunice’s eyes were shining, as if tiny stars were about to burst

forth from them.

Eunice ogled at Sebastian intently, her heart pounding uncontrollably as she was overwhelmed with excitement.

She wished she could just go up, hoist Sebastian onto her shoulders, and then selfishly hide him for herself, not

allowing anyone to sneak even a glance at him.

In truth, Sebastian had also sensed it.

From the moment he stepped through the door, a pair of eyes had been fixated on him. However, Sebastian had

no interest in finding out who it was, so he simply acted as if he was oblivious to it.

Then, he asked, “Dad, how are you feeling?”

Derek let out a sigh. “I'm okay. | guess. There's no pain or illness, but for sreason, | just can’t muster

any energy.”

Upon hearing these words, Sebastian's gaze slightly darkened. “Dad, rest assured that I'll arrange for the best

doctors in the country to examine you as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Regina immediately shook her head. “That's not necessary!”

They show no symptoms before they act up, and by the tthey're detected, it’s already too late!”

After Madelyn finished speaking, her expression softened a little. “Dad, please listen to me, you should get a

check-up

Derek was momentarily taken aback.

Surprisingly, his precious daughter was so concerned about his health, which touched him deeply

So. Derek nodded. “Alright, whatever you say.”

However, his answer triggered a change in Regina's expression. A malicious glint flashed in her eyes, but it was

gone as quickly as it appeared.

However, the sight didn’t escape Madelyn, who sniggered to herself, yet she remained calm and composed on

the surface.

Afterward, holding Sebastian's hand, she spoke sweetly. “Alright, let's go downstairs to have our dinner. Dad.

With that, she turned around and left.

Derek was lying in bed, watching the affectionate silhouette of the young couple. His heart was filled with a deep

sense of contentment.

Who would have thought that as soon as Madelyn stepped out of the room, she began nagging Sebastian, “Look

at the time, how could you forget to have your meal? All you ever think about is work. You really don’t take care

of yourself. I'm not going to bother about you anymore.”

Having said that, Madelyn deliberately took a few steps away from Sebastian.

That gesture was somewhat childish, but to Sebastian, it was incredibly endearing.

Thus, he explained flatly. “It wasn’t intentional. I just had a lot on my plate today, so | forgot.”

While they were talking, the two had already made their way to the dining table and took their seats.

“Of course, | understand you've been busy,” Madelyn stated, still sounding a bit upset. “But your health should

always cfirst. You can forget everything else, but you must never forget to have regular meals.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a piece of fish meat found its way onto Madelyn’s plate.

After Sebastian silently put it there, he put sfood into his mouth and said nonchalantly. “Mmm-hmm, I'll

keep that in mind.”

Madelyn felt both amused and exasperated, but above all, a warmth filled her heart.

On top of that, Sebastian's way of eating was so elegant that Madelyn found it pleasing to watch, her annoyance

easing quickly.

Soon, the two of them finished their meal.

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn’s face involuntarily flushed.

She then chuckled and said, “Dad, isn’t it too early to say something like that? Let's wait until after Sebastia and

| are married before we start making such statements.

Derek could only chuckle. “Alright, alright, you're absolutely right. It's getting late, you should hurry home

and rest”
