My Rise and My Ex's Fall (Chloe and Arthur) novel Chapter 671

Oralia's chest tightened at the sight before her.

She looked at Melinda for a few seconds, and soon, her own eyes began to redden.

"I'm sorry."

Oralia stepped closer and apologized softly.

Before she could say anything more, her voice broke, and tears fell too.

Rhea and Hogan watched them quietly.

Neither of them said a word.

They knew how deeply these people relied on Chloe.

Now that things had come to this, no one wanted to see them fall apart.

Chloe had gone to Silverash to avenge Eugene.

Whether she would return safely was something no one could say.

As for the worst possible outcome...

No one dared to think about it.

And there was still another problem weighing on them.

Eugene had not woken up.

"I don't blame you. I was wrong too. I shouldn't have raised my voice at you. I'm sorry," Melinda said to Oralia.

After that, the two of them held each other and cried together.

Zachary watched them and pressed a hand to his forehead.

These two...

He truly had no idea what he could say to make them stop crying.

Just as he was feeling helpless, he noticed Blaine walking toward them.

The moment Zachary saw Blaine, his nerves tightened.

He and Melinda had been getting closer lately.

To be honest, he had even started to like this man who was somehow more handsome than him.

Blaine was Melinda's only family.

He was also the head of her household.

If Zachary wanted to marry Melinda one day, he would have to receive Blaine's approval.

Zachary understood that very clearly.

So when Blaine walked over, Zachary tensed up without even realizing it.

Sooner or later, he would have to face the family.

But knowing that did not make him any less nervous.

Blaine stopped in front of Zachary.

He glanced at Melinda first.

Seeing her crying, he frowned slightly, but he did not say anything to her.

Instead, he turned to Hogan and Rhea.

"It's good that both of you are here. Robert is on his way over. He said he found something important and asked me to contact you. He wants the two of you to be present as witnesses."

Hogan looked puzzled.

"What did he find?"

"I'm not sure," Blaine replied. "But from his tone, it should be something very important. Both of you need to be here."

He lifted the phone in his hand slightly.

"Robert is already on the way. He should arrive soon."

Everyone exchanged confused looks.

Something important?

And Hogan and Rhea had to witness it personally?

What exactly did that mean?

Rhea was also stunned.

She could not think of anything that would require her to be present.

Oralia and Melinda looked at each other.

Then both of them quieted down and waited for Robert.

At a time like this, what could be more serious than Chloe's disappearance and Eugene's coma?

Now that Robert had said this, their curiosity rose even higher.

"Robert, what is it? Hurry up and tell us," Oralia urged anxiously. "At a time like this, what could possibly be more important than..."

Her voice stopped halfway.

She stared at Robert, her face full of worry.

"Exactly. Just tell us already. We've been waiting here anxiously for quite a while," Zachary said.

He was usually steady, but even he could not stay calm now.

Hogan stepped forward.

His expression was serious.

"Robert, what exactly did you find? Why do you need me and your grandmother here?"

Robert looked at Hogan's stern face.

Then the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

"Grandpa, do you like me as your grandson?"

Hogan's expression tightened.

"Of course I do. You're my grandson. How could I not like you?"

Robert's smile grew a little wider.

"Then what if I told you that I really am your biological grandson? Would you like me even more?"

"Of course..."

Hogan's voice stopped suddenly.

He froze in place.

His eyes stayed fixed on Robert, but for a long time, he could not say anything.

"Robert."

Hogan crouched down at once so that he was looking Robert in the eye.

His voice trembled with disbelief.

"What did you just say?"

"What do you mean by saying... you really are my biological grandson?"
