There days elapsed 

Alfred arrived from Collbridge. The vehicle cante to a halt and the chauffeur opened the door for hurr 

Alfred’s heart way laden with emotion 

He had initially thought poorly of Henry, but as years passed, it became evident that Henry’s love for Crystal was genuine. Now that his memo were failing. Henry was meticulously organizing matters for 

his wife and daughter while he was still lucid 

Alfred could not help but feel a pang of sympathy for a parties involved in the situation 

Stepping into the foyer, he spotted Henry seated on the sola, seemingly engrossed in an old newspaper 

Alfred paced over asking in a subdued voice, “Is Crystal not here?” 

Henry looked up, seemingly surprised, before he stood up. “She went to Seeas Corporation to handle 

some matters.” 

Alfred was aware that Henry had transferred ownership of Seeas Corporation to Crystal. 

He was unsure how to proceed. 

Ultimately, what came out of his mouth was, “Well, that’s good. I have something I want to discuss with you privately.” 

Henry could guess that Alfred had to have something important to talk about with the abruptness of his visit, so with a faint smile, he said, “Let’s talk upstairs in the study.” 

When they went upstairs, Alfred sat down and started smoking continuously. Then, he glanced up at Henry and asked, “How are you doing?” 

Henry paused in his coffee brewing. 

In a soft but firm voice, he said, “Not very good.” 

Then, he served the coffee to Alfred and sat down opposite him. 

Alfred struggled to quell his agitation and extinguished his cigarette. 

His gaze rested on Henry for a moment. After weighing his words, he divulged, “I’ve received some intelligence. Audrey’s access to that drug might have connections with her producer-ex-husband Surveillance records suggest that her ex-husband visited her at the hospital. He was brought in for questioning, but with his cunning and lack of substantial evidence, he was ultimately released due to his influential position” 

Hezury sipped his coffee thoughtfully. 

Alfred went on, saying, “After their divorce proceedings, he struggled to gain a foothold in the Kingdom of Brundela. Now, he works as a producer in the country. His motive is plausible. Rest assured I’ll keep iiveye 

A nod of acknowledgment came from Henry

Alfred nearly burnt his own fingers with the cigarette. He quickly helped Henry up “Henry, what are you doing’ This isn’t necessary! Maintain your dignity as a man’ 

However, Henry remained resolutely on his knees.

His voice soft and ragged, resonated. “My father still has many years ahead of him, and Crystal though capsabile, is still weak. With two children to care for. I implore you to watch over them. Unde Alfred 11 isit solely for Crystal and the children but also for Melera. In family matters, entrust them to you” 

Alfred was not pleased with these words 

His brows furrowed. “Henry, let me make this clear. You can’t simply pass the responsibility of your entire family to me. While you would be living without burdens due to your memory loss, what about Crystall What about your children?”

A faint chuckle left his lips, the sound laced with bitterness and helplessness. “Uncle Alfred, I used to tell Crystal not to give up on me-to find me if I ever wentnissing. But who can foresee the future 1 I just want her to hold onto hope. Without hope, life can become unbearably dreary” 

The fact that Crystal had hartled postpartum depressing before only compounded Henry’s concerti, especially now that she was pregnant again, 

His meticulous planning was his way of ensuring their well-being in his impending absence.

Allred smile faded even more 

Staring at the young woman he once held dear, he felt a wave of sentiments wash over him 

He had believed his life to be quite challenging, yet, as he compared it to Henry’s, it seemed not quite as burdensome. 

Alfred’s obligations on official matters called him away 

Cigarette dangling from his lips, he tenderly patted Melora’s head. “I’m heading off now. Call me if you need anything” 

“Okay,” Melora acknowledged. 

He watched her for a moment longer, his gaze lingering, before retracting his hand and descending the stairs with a slow stride. 

However, just as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he suddenly turned to ask, “How… are things going with that person?” 

Melora paused. 

When she spoke again, her voice was laced with bitterness. “We didn’t get along, so we broke up With that said, she headed upstairs. 

Alfred watched her disappear around the corner. 

He should be pleased that her matchmaking session had failed, but he could not bring himself to feel that. After all, he was acutely aware that, if not for him and Berthold, she would have effortlessly found a suitable partner. 

Ultimately, he was the one who doomed her. 

By the ume Crystal came back, it was night. 

She found Henry in the study, flipping through the pages of his diary. 

Like before, when he saw her, he returned the diary to its spot in the drawer. 

Crystal said nothing about it. 

Approaching him, she then embraced him and asked, “Did Uncle Alfred visit today?”
