“Jason, if you want to call her, do it,” Clarice said when she saw her son staring at his phone. for over ten minutes.
“You’re a good boy. You know what you should do and what you
shouldn’t. If you want to call her, just do it.”
Jason closed his eyes. “She’s a very kind person.”
Clarice frowned. “So are you.”
“There’s something that’s trying to burst out of my heart… I don’t think I can hold it back anymore,” Jason said as
he opened his eyes. His eyes were full of despair. “Mom, do you love Dad?”
Clarice smiled as she nodded. “If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t have willingly allowed my reputation to be spoiled all
these years.”
Jason then said, “He gave up his inheritance and Maxwell Corporation for you all those years. ago, but it didn’t stop

“I’m not a saint, but I hold back. Love made me hold back.” Suddenly, Clarice paused before. saying regretfully,
“Speaking of which, it’s my fault for hurting Fia last time.”

“Let bygones be bygones,” Jason said. “I can see how you and Dad are living together. I believe he will protect you.”
“Of course.” Clarice nodded, joy reflected in her eyes as she thought about Garrett.
Jason felt he was being cruel, but he had to first make them ready for it. “Dad is becoming busy again like last time
because I have to rest and stay at home.”
“True. Originally, we wanted to enjoy ourselves while you slave away. Alas!” Clarice half- jokingly said. She didn’t
want to pin the blame on her son at all. “But it’s fine. If you can rest here quietly while your father’s busy, I rather
he stays in the office.”
“Mom, after I’m healed, I want to rest for a while more,” Jason said.
Clarice asked, “You want to return to being a doctor again?”
Jason shook his head. “No. I just want to have some rest.”
“You want to slack off?” Clarice smiled. “Sure, I’ll support you!”
“About Dad…” He was worried that his father wouldn’t agree to it.
Clarice then said, “Don’t worry about him. When he’s busy at the company, I’ll go over and accompany him. It’s just
a change of environment. We’ve been together for so long now that we’ll be able to adapt to it easily.”
“That’s for the best,” Jason said, as he gave her a grin.
Clarice went over and patted his arm. “As for you, just rest for a while. I hope that you’ll be able to meet your Juliet
soon!”
Fia wore her suit and put a pillow on her knees before looking at the time on the phone.
When Sophia saw it, she asked, “Why are you staring at the phone?”
Fia yawned. “I want to take a nap, but Eileen’s coming back today. I’m worried that I’ll miss the time that I have to

“Just sleep, Madam. You can tell me the time and I’ll wake you up beforehand.” Sophia chuckled. That was not
something too critical.
Fia shook her head. “That won’t do. It will make me look insincere. What if God saw my insincerity and punished

Sophia was speechless. Was this what they meant by “punishing those who you care for for your crime”?
“Madam… Isn’t that a bit too superstitious?”
“When it’s the people that I care about that’s at stake, I don’t mind being a little
superstitious,” Fia said sincerely as she rubbed her eyes.
Sophia couldn’t bear it anymore. “Maybe you can wash your face?”
“That’s a good idea!” Fia immediately stood up, but she lost her footing a little, wobbling in her steps.
Sophia quickly went over to hold her up. “Maybe you should take a nap, Madam. Even thirty minutes will help.”
Fia sat back down and finally said, “Set an alarm for me, then.”
She was worried that Sophia wouldn’t wake her up out of pity. That was why she rather set up an alarm for her nap.
“Who are you?! What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid of the police?!” The Evans’ caretaker screamed. Even the
servants couldn’t stop the men in black marching i
