I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 571

Thorne gazed at Lady Miller with a hint of melancholy and asked, “So, why did you cto see me?”

Lady Miller's eyelids fluttered gently like butterflies. “Thorne, | know you are a business genius. Your father and |

have one wish, and that is to expand the Miller Group's industries globally and monopolize the field of

intelligence. Now, | am old, and your father seems to be losing his strength. This grand ambition can only be

accomplished by you.”

“I want to hand over the Miller Group to you, Thorne. You are the grandson of the Miller family, and I trust you to

take charge of the company,” Lady Miller said sincerely as she looked at Thorne.

Thorne fell into silence, neither agreeing nor denying her. He simply responded with a somewhat mocking

expression, “I will provide you with a satisfactory answer to this matter.”

Lady Miller was delighted. “Good.”

After coming out of Lady Miller's sickroom, Thorne found that the old butler had remained in the room.

The current butler, with a worried expression, said to Lady Miller, “I think he is a complicated person. Your

approach is too direct, he may not take the bait.”

Lady Miller said, “The heir of the Miller Group, such a great temptation, who can resist it?”

“Lady Miller, he would definitely investigate the company’s

profitability before accepting the position. If he found that the company had transferred trillions of assets,

accumulated high level of debt, and was full of holes, he would certainly not easily take over this mess.”

Lady Miller said, “The Miller Group, this cancer, must find someone to take over. And this short-lived ghost is the

most suitable. Anyway, no matter how bad the company is, his death will bring relief.”

“He was indeed the most suitable person to take over this mess,” the butler sighed.

After Thorne and Thea met, Thea asked, “Are we going home?”

Thorne, however, said, “I would like Thea to accompanyto a place.”*

Thea and he had a telepathic connection, so she brought him to the mental hospital.

Here, Thorne met the dean. He straightforwardly presented his request:

“Helpfind someone, an elderly woman over sixty years old who cin the past few days.”

The dean was wary of Thorne and said, “We have many patients coming in here all the time. If you can’t provide

the person’s nand ID number, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the person you're looking for.”

This was clearly an excuse to reject Thorne.

Thea brushed past the dean with a loud thud. She angrily

exclaimed, “If | asked you to find something, why do you waste so much twith useless talk?” Compared to

Thorne, who sat calmly in his wheelchair without losing his temper, Thea’s presence was particularly imposing.

The dean was clearly startled and spoke more politely, “I'm sorry, Miss Fletcher, the hospital has regulations that

only allow visits from immediate family members. If you were to disturb the patient and worsen their condition, it

would reflect poorly on the hospital.”

Thea was extremely domineering, “If there was a problem, | would bear it alone.”

The dean was shocked.

Then, dragging and pulling, the patient's information was brought out, “These are the patient records from the

past few days of hospital admissions. You can choose for yourself.”

Thea waved at him in the morning, saying, “You can go now. We won't waste your precious time.”

This was a blatant eviction notice.

The dean left with a bewildered expression on his face.

Thea browsed through the patient's records, muttering to herself as she belittled the spineless director, saying,

“If a tiger doesn’t roar, do you think I'm just a sickly cat?”

Thorne indulgently gazed at Thea and said, “Thea was so cool.”

“It was him who madelose my temper, because he deceived you. Actually, | am usually quite polite to

people.”

Thorne couldn't help but chuckle, as he gently took Thea’s hand and pressed her palm against his handsome

face. He said, “With Thea protectinglike this, | have no regrets in this lifetime.”

Thea smiled with relief.

Not long after, Thea found the patient's information.

“Piper. 68 years old. Had schizophrenia.”

Thea handed the information to Thorne and asked, “Is it her?”

Thorne said, “See which ward she was in.”

After reading the information, Thea brought Thorne to the ward where Piper was.

However, Piper's mental state was very poor. Her eyes were dull and vacant as she stared out of the window.

She curled up in bed, even though it was winter, she was only wearing thin autumn clothes.

“Piper.”

Thea called her several times before she responded slightly.

When she saw Thea, her eyes lit up.

“Daughter, my daughter...”

Thea stepped back, looking at her with fear, “Am | not your daughter?”

Thorne squinted his eagle eyes and analyzed, “Why does she call her daughter Thea? Could it be that Thea and

her daughter bear sresemblance?”

Thorne seemed to have found a breakthrough in the matter and said, “I will help you find your daughter.

However, you have to doa favor.”

Lady Miller murmured, “Can you really helpfind my daughter?”

Thorne said, “You must have heard of Robert, right?”

The old woman nodded.

“Do you know who gave birth to Robert?”

The old woman fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she said intermittently, “Robert, the witch didn’t give birth to her, she couldn't have children at

all.”

“Who was Robert's birth mother?”

“There was a very beautiful madwoman... She would always sneakily hold Robert when he was just born, and

sing ‘Moonlight’ to him...”

Thea was stunned: she had always believed that Robert was born to Lady Miller. However, the old woman said

that Lady Miller couldn’t have children, so Robert couldn't be Lady

Miller's son.

Was that beautiful madwoman Robert's birth mother?

Considering that both Robert and Thorne had schizophrenia, it can be inferred that this illness is hereditary.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Robert's biological mother also had this condition.

Both Robert and Thorne were outstanding in both talent and

appearance, so Thea could almost be certain that the beautiful madwoman mentioned by the old woman was

indeed Robert's birth mother.

In contrast to Thorne’s calmness, Thea was very excited and asked, “Do you know where she is now?”

The old woman seemed immersed in her past memories, as if she hadn't heard Thea’s words. She muttered to

herself, “That beautiful madwoman was very wealthy, very wealthy... Her husband loved her so much, so much,

and the female villain was jealous of her...”

“No, no, no, | can’t say,” the old woman suddenly covered her ears and shook her head, “The witch won't spare

me. She is

the worst.”

And no matter what Thorne asked, she did not answer.

Thea pushed Thorne out, still wearing a face of regret.

“I almost knew the answer.”

Thorne scratched her tightly wrinkled little nose and said, “Smile, con. It doesn’t look good when you have a

frown on your face.”

Thea looked at Thorne, who remained calm, “Did you already know that Lady Miller is not your biological

grandmother?”

Thorne nodded and said, “Originally, | never expected to experience familial love. After all, | went from my foster

father’s house to my grandmother's house and then back to my grandmother's side, without feeling any love

from them. However, Robert was an exception... He made me

occasionally feel sbizarre paternal love.”
