Joseph wore no expression. "Kids shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."
"I can help you capture her heart."
"You don’t have enough homework, do you?"
Joseph was used to Jasper's strange way of thinking. He did not give much of a reply before asking some people to come in.
Jasper pouted and muttered reluctantly, "Chloe’s willing to meet me instead of you. You shouldn’t doubt my power."
These words hit Joseph in the gut. He massaged his temples and decided not to be mad at Jasper.
A few doctors in white coats soon entered the ward. Joseph glanced at the sleeping man on the bed, and his expression became unfathomable. "Take him away."

When Chloe was back at the Sullivan manor, Noah went up to her with a solemn expression. "We got a call from the prison."
Chloe was a little dumbfounded. "The prison?"
"Yes, the prison where Benjamin is locked up."
"Oh. What's the matter?"
Benjamin had disappointed her greatly five years ago. Chloe would have forgotten that she still had a father if his name was not brought up.
"He has cancer and only has another month to live." Noah was worried that she might be upset and almost could not bear to say this to her. "He wants to see you one last time."
Chloe was stunned for a moment. "I don't want to see him."
What was the use? Did he want to express his regret and apologize? She found it unnecessary and meaningless.
"The prison staff told me that he has something important to tell you."
