As Adam reminisced about the past, his cloudy eyes glimmered with a touch of nostalgia and deep affection.
In his

and was ready to spend twith his wife, her health had already deteriorated due to years of hardship.
He spent less than six months with her in the hospital before she passed away and was filled with regret.
As he reflected on those times, he felt not just regret but profound sorrow. Having gone through such a painful
experience himself, he didn’t want his son and grandson to repeat his mistakes.
“Nadine,” he said, his voice gentle, “I know you haven't been staying at Phoenix Villa recently. And | know that
the rascal has wronged you. But when the tcomes, and he realizes his mistakes, could you give him another
chance for my sake?”

However, when he heard Brad had left hon her birthday night, his anger nearly sent him into a fit.
He was so furious that he wanted to rush to Jean's ward and drag his grandson out. But the outburst had left him
needing medical attention himself. Doctors rushed into his ward, and he only got out of danger after several
rescue attempts.
After that incident, he didn’t want his troublesgrandson pestering Nadine anymore.
Nadine had only seen pictures of Brad's grandmother and never met her in person. Seeing the deep affection in
Adam's eyes when he spoke of his late wife, she felt envious.
“Grandpa, please focus on getting better. Don’t worry about anything else, okay? Brad and | are adults, and we
know how to handle our problems.
*Please don’t stress about us anymore. The butler toldyou almost ended up in the emergency room a few
days ago. You should take better care of yourself.
“Grandpa, all | want is for you to stay healthy and be here withand Sean. Let's not worry about
|
anything else, okay?”

She was very frustrated.
Their marriage was loveless and untenable, yet he wouldn't let go. She couldn't understand what was going on
in his mind.
Sometimes, she wished she could open his head and see if it was filled with nothing but nonsense.
Her evasive attitude left Adam helpless. Knowing there wasn’t much more he could do, he sighed. He took a
deep breath, shook his head affectionately, and decided not to bring up the topic again.
Then, he shifted the conversation to Nadine’s work. He asked about everything from her office. environment and
her meals to her relationships with colleagues and professional jargon. Nadine answered all his questions
patiently.
While they were chatting, the butler seized the moment when no one was paying attention and slipped behind a
large holly bush. He secretly pulled out his phone and called Brad.

“Mr. Hamilton,
it’s 16
the weekend. Why are you still working at the office? Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Sean are here at the hospital. You
should cover and spend twith Mr. Hamilton Senior.”
Without waiting for a response and fearing Nadine might overhear, the butler quickly hung up after delivering his
message.
He casually walked out from behind the bush and resumed playing with Sean. Then, he gave Adam a knowing
glance.
Catching the butler’s signal, Adam continued chatting with Nadine. He thought to himself. “You rascal. I've given
you a chance. Now, it is up to you whether to seize it!”
It was already 3:00 pm. Nadine would usually pick Sean up from kindergarten at 4:00 pm, and it took at least 20
minutes to drive from Hamilton Group to the school.
This meant that if she were to cto Hamilton Group, she should already be there.
