Alina didn't immediately respond to Robin's query. Instead, she looked deeply into Robin's eyes and asked softly, "Roo, be honest with me. Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"Alina had a solemn expression on her face. This made Robin pause for a moment. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she remained calm as she answered, "No, not really."I haven't had much to do lately, so how could I have encountered any?"The only concern I have right now is you. I just hope that you'll have a speedy recovery."Robin didn't want Alina to worry about her problems, so she casually made up an excuse.After hearing Robin's words, Alina's expression suddenly turned serious. She looked deeply into Robin's eyes and said in a low voice, "You're lying."Pausing, Robin pursed her lips. Then, she fell silent.Alina sighed and said, "I already know."Robin pursed her lips. She wasn't sure what Alina was going to say.She bit her lip lightly and forced out a small smile."What d
Alina's words left Robin feeling extremely helpless. There was even a moment when Robin found that she couldn't find a reason to refute what her mother had said.When Conner walked back into the ward, he noticed that the air between Alina and Robin was tense. He approached Alina and whispered, "Roo, someone's asking for you outside."Conner had just gone downstairs to retrieve Alina's health report. The results were not very optimistic.However, he knew that it wasn't the right time to let Alina know about it. As such, he and Robin had established a code to discreetly talk about Alina's results in her presence.Seeing how solemn Conner's expression was, Robin furrowed her brows slightly. Her gaze grew heavy as well."Alright," she said.After that, Robin shifted her gaze toward Alina and said softly, "Mom, I'm going to step out for a moment. Please try to rest in the meantime."Alina sighed and looked at Robin seriously."Roo, I know you feel very deeply for Terence. I know tha
Upon hearing that, Robin was stunned."But Mom will…"Robin couldn't find it in herself to finish her sentence. Her expression turned stiff.Conner knew what Robin wanted to say. With a heavy and helpless expression on his face, he said, "Dr. Bradley laid everything out clearly before he left."Your mother's treatment at the moment is being carried out according to the instructions he left behind. It doesn't seem like she'll recover anytime soon. I don't think even a miracle doctor can help her now."Robin fell silent.Since Alina was first diagnosed with cancer, Robin had already known deep down that her mother would never be able to fully recover from it.Robin had hoped that through treatment, Alina's life could at least be prolonged.Since Conner had been the one to bring that up to Robin, it meant that Alina's condition was only going to go downhill from here."Just try to accommodate your mother's wishes as much as you can during this difficult time. She can't help but w
Robin frowned and went silent. Alina then continued, "If the Weiss family is in trouble, an aristocratic family like theirs will definitely prioritize their interests first. At that time, Terence will abandon you without a single doubt. "Roo, you yearn for pure love. But how is that possible? Terence is only dating you because the Weiss family isn't in trouble now. "Without someone to rely on, you'll be the first one to be abandoned if Weiss Group encounters a problem. You have to trust me, Roo. I'm the best example. I hope you'll reconsider this relationship while taking my experiences into account." Robin felt a heavy weight on her heart and didn't want to continue talking about this anymore. "Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. I believe Terence can handle this well." Alina's expression darkened, clearly displeased. Conner chuckled awkwardly and interjected, "Alina, it's time to take your medication. Roo is a grown-up with her own opinions now. We can only
Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying. "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again. Robin went silent. She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear. Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it." She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely." As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call. Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica. Robin stood in the cor
Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together. Sure enough, Alina was already awake.Robin sat on the couch and felt a mix of emotions as she watched Conner care for Alina devotedly.Alina had finished her medicine for the day, and Conner needed to get her the newly prescribed medicine from the pharmacy. So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes
Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father
During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said. Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and
