“But Dad, I-” “That’s enough, Sophia.” Adam interrupted. He did not want to dwell on the past with


    Sophia. “I just hope that you won’t argue with Lilin anymore.


    You’re my only children, and I genuinely hope to see you both get along with each other.”


    Sophia reluctantly nodded and said, “Okay. I understand, Dad. I promise not to get angry at Lilin and


    avoid arguing with her in the future.”


    Adam patted Sophia’s shoulder. “That’s my girl.”


    Sophia discreetly suppressed her frustrations. She decided to deal with Melinda and Lilin after


    sessfully inheriting Adam’s estate.


    It took them about an hour to arrive at the hotel. When Adam checked into his suite, he told his


    subordinates to take care of their luggage while he brought Melinda and Lilin to meet Zachary. It had


    been a while since he met his son-inw.


    Zachary remained calm when he saw Adam and nodded slightly to greet him.


    “Wee, sir.”


    Adam sped his hands behind his back and said unhappily, “How polite of you.


    Though I’m curious to know why you couldn’t make the effort toe with Sophia to fetch your father-


    inw at the airport.” “Sorry about that,” Zachary replied. “It’s difficult for me to go far because of my


    legs. I hope you’ll forgive me forthat.”


    Adam red at Zachary, who sat in his wheelchair. The more he looked at Zachary’s legs, the more


    annoyed he became.


    Sophia did not want her father to me Zachary for that, so she tugged his arm gently before walking


    toward Zachary.


    When she got closer, she noticed that Zachary’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.


    “Why are you sweating so much, Zachary?” Sophia asked worriedly. She touched his forehead and


    eximed, “Your temperature is very high! Are you feeling sick? Do you have a fever?”


    Zachary gently shook his head and pushed her hand away. “I’m fine. It’s just a minor headache.”


    That was the only excuse he coulde up with. He had been secretly doing some rehabilitation


    exercises while she was away and had yet to get a chance to freshen up, but telling her the truth was


    simply out of the question.


    “Your headache must be because of a fever! Please go back to your room and rest. I’ll have a doctor


    check on youter!” Sophia was so anxious that shepletely forgot about her parents. She urged


    Zachary to return to the room and insisted he lie down for a while.


    Adam could only watch as his daughter frantically took care of Zachary. A slight hint of concern


    appeared in his eyes as he said, “Tch. He’s so fragile. If I had known better, I would’ve broken one leg


    instead of two. That way, he can still limp back to his family, and Sophia won’t have to suffer so much


    with him right now!” 1 Melinda sighed and walked over to hold Adam’s arm. “Sigh! Don’t be too hard on


    him. It’s not like he wants to be in that condition! Let’s go back to our room and give Sophia some room


    to rest with Zachary.”


    Adam sighed and left with his wife.


    Lilin was about to follow her parents when she caught sight of Bryan staring at her from nearby.


    However, she mistakenly believed that the boy was Benjamin.


    She walked over and extended a hand toward Bryan, saying, “Would you like to y with me?”

    Bryan shook his head because he did not recognize Lilin.


    Lilin frowned at Bryan and said, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m your Aunt Lilin!”


    Sophia rarely allowed Zachary and Benjamin to meet people, so Lilin did not see Benjamin very often.


    As a result, she did not find it too odd that he did not recognize her.


    Bryan blinked and asked, “Aunt Lilin?”


    Lilin assumed that Bryan was calling out to her instead of asking her a question.


    “Yeah! Let’s go! I brought you a gift this time. It’s a robot toy! You’ll like it for sure!”
