Sebastian was directly dumbfounded in place.
He went to the rooftop only half an hour’s effort, and the person was gone?
It was really unbelievable, he tugged on the nurse who was cleaning up at the side and asked, “Excuse me, may I ask, where is Cedron, did he change wards?”
The nurse turned her head to look at him, “Mr. Navarro was discharged, that’s what just happened, didn’t you know?”
Sebastian: “…”
He’s on the rooftop, where would he know?
Since he was already discharged from the hospital, it was quicker to just call Alexis and ask where he went.
But by the time Sebastian’s call gets through, Alexis’ tone is stilted.
“Mr. Grant, thank you for flying back especially to see Mr. Navarro, but since Mr. Navarro is better now, there’s no need to get in touch.”
Sebastian almost laughed at the exasperation, “What, unloading, where are you guys now?”
“Sorry Mr. Grant, it’s not that I didn’t tell you, it’s really …”
Alexis wanted to explain further, but Cedron’s impatient voice was already coming from behind him, “What are you babbling about, focus on your car.”
“Sorry Mr. Grant, I have to drive.” Alexis said and hung up.
Sebastian: “…”
Nice job!

On this end, Alexis apprehensively looks in the rearview mirror, to see Cedron’s expression at the moment, and tentatively asks, “Mr. Navarro, isn’t it not too generous of us to do this, after all, you were able to come to your senses with Mr. Grant’s help, and … Mr. Grant? Grant isn’t your cousin?”
“That was all once upon a time,” Cedron’s face didn’t half ripple, “I’m not Rupert anymore, so there’s no use in talking about what was once upon a time, so I might as well just be Cedron.”
“Mr. Navarro …” Alexis’s tone grew more suspicious, “So you really don’t remember Miss Newman?”
“I should remember?” Cedron asked rhetorically.
Alexis nodded, “If you ask me, then I think Mr. Navarro you should remember.”
“It’s just that God didn’t ask me to remember,” Cedron interrupted, “so it’s fate, and there’s just no destiny between us.”
The words no destiny left Alexis speechless.
He drooped his eyelids and muttered very quietly, “Seems like it, if you were meant to be, why is it that the child that belonged to you is gone, and it’s so hard to clear up misunderstandings and almost kill someone.
Last time I even heard Miss Newman talking to herself, saying that the months she met you, she almost suffered everything she hadn’t suffered in the past five years, so it’s a good thing that she doesn’t remember it now, it’s kind of a relief, isn’t it!”
Cedron sounded offended, “What are you muttering about all by yourself, shut up and drive your car.”
Alexis got honest and didn’t say a word.
Cedron in the back rested his eyes closed, unable to tell if he was asleep or just resting his eyes.
No one noticed that his two hands, hanging down at his sides, were clenched into dead fists.
The car quickly arrived at Norhall Keep.
Having not returned for a long time, the servants still kept Norhall Keep in good order.
As soon as they saw Cedron, they immediately greeted him respectfully.
Cedron nodded his head as a response and took a big step inside.
When he reached the foyer, he found a pair of flat women’s lambskin shoes.
Light blue, a very muted color, but it still stung Cedron’s eyes.
He stared for a long time, which slowly lifted his thin lips, “Whose shoes are these?”
“You’re back!” At that moment, around the corner of the stairs, came Anna’s incredibly excited voice.
Cedron lifted his head, and with four eyes facing each other, complex sentiments stirred up in Anna’s chest.
