Chapter 1667 How’s Bryce?
Sean only started talking after the waiter served their desserts. “I told Dad that you’re back, and I told him that it’d
be nice for you guys to meet. Dad said that it’s completely up to you—he doesn’t mind meeting you if you want to
see him, and he’d understand if you still held a grudge against him and didn’t want to visit.” Sean crossed his arms
and rested them on his legs before he continued. “I think you guys should meet. His condition isn’t serious now but
he’s getting old, and we don’t know when he might fall ill again. You’re busy with work, and it’s rare for you to be
back here. You might regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t get a chance to see him again.”
Ian nodded with a neutral expression on his face. However, he knew that he would have no regrets even if he didn’t
get to see Bryce again. I guess it’d be a more decent move for me just to pay him a visit. The company wants me
to deal with this carefully as they don’t want the media to discover any loopholes that they can use against me.

“It’s nothing life-threatening. He’s getting old, so his health has been deteriorating along with his age. He didn’t
exactly fake his illness—he did suffer some heart condition previously. That was why he was admitted into the
hospital,” Sean explained.
Aurora nodded. She didn’t bother to hide her feelings. “That’s a shame,” she uttered flatly.
Sean chuckled upon hearing her words. “It has been so many years. I thought you would’ve been over him by now.”
She shook her head as she puckered her lips. “I’ll be honest with you guys. I often say that I’ve let go of him and
that I don’t care anymore, but when I hear you guys talking about this, I can still feel the hatred for him in my
bones.” She let out a sigh before she continued, “I’m not trying to speak for myself here. I just don’t think there’s
any point in clarifying the situation after so long. However, whatever I said back then was the truth. When we were
together, your dad told me that he had already arranged for a divorce with your mom. However, he explained that
he didn’t want to trigger your mom because of her bad health—that was why they hadn’t gone through with the
divorce although they were separated. I was an idiot back then, and I figured that a man as capable as your dad
could get himself any woman he wanted. I thought that he’d have no reason to lie to a young girl like me. Well, it
turns out… Tsk tsk.” Aurora didn’t finish her sentence.
Sean knew the sort of person Bryce was. Bryce had fooled around with one too many women in the past—he had
even gotten involved with a number of female celebrities. Some of the female celebrities were a little smarter as
they had seen similar situations in the entertainment industry. In such cases, Bryce wouldn’t just use his wealth to
attract such women, but he’d also sweet-talk the women into convincing them of his feelings.
“Well, I guess he’s being punished now,” Sean said as he leaned against the back of his seat. “He’s been in the
hospital for so long, yet Leah has never brought her two kids to visit him. How sad is that? He might not express his
hurt, but I’m sure he’s suffering on the inside.” Sean was busy with work, and he didn’t have much time to visit his
father either.

Most of the time, Bryce was alone in the hospital. Every time Sean visited, Bryce would put on a nonchalant front.
He would act as if he didn’t want anyone to visit and disturb him. However, Sean could tell that Bryce was only
acting that way because he didn’t have a choice. Bryce might be rich, but what could money do in such a situation?
Barely anyone in the family truly cared about Bryce.
I won’t comment on what others feel toward Bryce, but I have to admit that I don’t care that much about him.
What he did when my mother was suffering in the hospital was just too inhumane. I’m only showing some
compassion to him because I’m still his biological son, Sean thought. The company practically belongs to me at this
point, and I don’t want to create any unnecessary problems. I don’t want the media to come up with some nasty
articles.
At that thought, Sean shifted his gaze to Ian. “We saw your news before you came back here, and I see you’ve
found yourself a girlfriend. Dad spoke about it once—he wondered if you’d bring your girlfriend along if you ever
visited him.”
“Hah!” Ian laughed. “Why would he say that? Does he want to analyze and comment on the women I date?”
