Female NovelBut Alyssa knew Tatiana had heard her. She was just pretending not to have heard her. She feltworried and chased after Tatiana.
"Taty, what's wrong?" She abruptly grabbed Tatiana's arm.
Tatiana slowly turned around with tear streaks on her face. "It's nothing, Lyse."
Alyssa was stunned. "You're crying? Why are you crying? Did you have a fight with Sean, or ...""Lyse, you and Jasper must be happy.”
Leaving behind these sudden words, Tatiana shook off Alyssa's hand and sprinted away down thecorridor, ignoring Alyssa's calls.
Alyssa frowned, feeling that something was not right. She took out her phone and called Sean."Ms. Alyssa." Sean's voice sounded down, lacking strength.
"Sean, what did you say to Taty? She's so upset. Did you bully her?" Alyssa questioned him bluntlywith her hands on her hips.
"Taty cried?” Sean's heart ached, but he still spoke truthfully. "Ms. Alyssa, I didn’t argue with Taty.But when she came back home, she was feeling down.
"I asked her why, and she only said we won't be meeting for some time. She didn't say anythingelse.”
Alyssa grew more suspicious the more she heard. She knew how inseparable Tatiana was from SeanMoreover, just this morning, the two of them had firmly declared that they would never leave eachother. How could she suddenly say they wouldn't meet anymore?
"Taty went out alone? What did she go out to do? Did she tell you?"
Sean pondered for a moment before answering in a low voice, "She seems to have gone out withMr. Taylor and Madam Lyla."
At this, Alyssa's gaze deepened.
In the study, Winston sat on the couch after taking the medicine for his cerebral ischemic strokeunder Neil's service. He closed his eyes to rest.
"Neil, bring the bin. I feel like vomiting. Ugh ..."
"Right away! Please bear with it!" Neil quickly fetched the bin, crouching by Winston's side.Clutching his chest, Winston bowed down and showed a painful expression. However, after a longtime, he couldn't manage to vomit anything.
"Mr. Winston, this medicine is too strong. You should reduce the dosage.”
Neil saw how uncomfortable Winston was and couldn't help but feel worried. “I'm afraid your illnesswon't be cured. Instead, you'll end up ruining your body with the medicine.”
"At my age, my body will collapse one day, whether I take the medicine or not. Take it easy.”Winston took a deep breath, and his forced vigor gradually waned, revealing a weary complexion."Just ... don't let the children know, especially Lyse. I'm afraid she'll be heartbroken.”
Neil's eyes moistened. "Mr. Winston, please be more optimistic. Given the advanced state ofmedical technology, there's no need to worry that your illness can't be cured.”novelbin
"I know. Of course, I want to live a few more years. If I kick the bucket, what will Lyse do? Whatabout my three wives?"
Winston pinched the sore spot between his brows. "But we must plan ahead. Before Lyse inheritsthe family business, I must eliminate as many potential obstacles as possible.”
"Though Mr. Jonah may not be interested in business, if Ms. Alyssa encounters any difficulties, he'llsurely sacrifice everything to assist her.”
At this moment, just outside the study, Alyssa was on the verge of pushing the door open, a chilllingering in the air.
Upon hearing Winston and Neil's voices from inside, she came to a halt, held her breath, andpressed her ear against the door panel.
