Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Serenity grabbed her bag strap tightly. The noise from her surroundings buzzed in her ears, but she could not hear anything. It was as if she was deaf. She took the elevator to the first floor in a daze and walked towards the hospital’s main entrance.

When she passed by the flower garden outside the hospital, she almost bumped into someone. The man’s handsome hand held her arm and stabilized her. His voice was filled with surprise. “Serene?”

Serenity looked up and saw John in an exquisite suit standing before her. His handsome face looked even clearer under the afterglow.

She quickly masked her loss of composure and calmed herself. Donning a smile, she asked, “What are you doing at the hospital?”

John stared at her with his dark eyes. “My dad is hospitalized. I’m here to see him.”

Serenity had met Chris Grant before but did not like remembering what she had learned about John’s family background.

John was not the son of Chris’s first wife. His birth mother was Nina Hess, Chris’s ex-lover. When Chris took over Grant Group, he accepted the arranged marriage with a socialite that his family had set up for him.

Ever since Chris Grant got married, Nina cut off all contact with him. When Chris found her again, he told her that he had only married the other woman because of his family. He had no feelings for that woman.

Nina’s heart softened. After all, though she removed herself from his life, she had always loved him. Unable to stop their feelings for each other, they started an affair that lasted two years.

During this period, Chris’s wife gave birth to a pair of twins. Later on, his wife found out that he had an affair and spread the news to their families. The woman’s family pressured the Gu family who forced Chris to cut off all contact with Nina. Otherwise, he would no longer be the heir of Grant Group.

Even though Chris knew Nina was already pregnant then, he could not abandon his family and name.

Over the years, Chris quickly learned that his eldest son was not capable enough while his second son was addicted to gambling and drugs. Hence, Chris tried to find out more about Nina and her son, hoping that her son would be able to inherit Grant Group.

But Chris’s wife was very stubborn, refusing to be present in the same time and space as Nina. So even though Nina and her son arrived in Andalas City thanks to Chris, only John was able to live with Chris while Nina lived away.

Half a year later, Nina died in a car accident. The last call she made before she died was with Chris’s wife.

John told the police but not only did Chris suppress the matter, he also slapped John. The father and son did not get along with each other to begin with, and with Nina’s passing, they grew even more distant.

Serenity came back to her senses and asked, “How’s Uncle Grant’s condition?”

“Late stage,” said John concisely.

When she went to visit the Grant family in the past, Chris treated her quite well. Serenity said, “I’ll go with you to see Uncle Grant.”

John nodded and asked, “Why did you come to the hospital?”

Her pale face had eased up so she tried her best to relax her tone. “I’m not feeling well, so I came for a check-up.”

John fully believed her because the Serenity he knew would never lie to him.

Serenity went to buy some fruits and flowers before she went to see Chris with John. Other than the nurse who was preparing an injection, there were two other men in the ward – Chris’s other sons. Serenity had seen them before so she greeted them politely.

Chris’s second son, Simon Grant, looked at her in surprise, then at Shia Grant.. “Isn’t this the girl who used to be with John?”
