The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1199

"How would that have been a burden?"

Walden truly regretted not finding a way to make Walter stay all those years ago.

Walter, however, felt no regrets.

He was, after all, completely blind in one eye, making his chances of actually staying in the service incredibly slim.

Letting his old captain pull strings felt like stealing an opportunity from someone more capable, and he simply wasn't willing to do that.

Walter was a man of absolute integrity.

Claire knocked on the door, and Walden warmly invited her in without hesitation.

He immediately introduced her to Walter.

"Claire saved my grandson, which is practically the same as saving my whole family. Now she's helping me manage my health."

"Her medical skills are exceptional. Let her check your vitals and see if everything is alright."

Claire greeted the older man warmly. "Actually, I saw Mr. Hudson at the university today."

"You were swinging that cane with such force, you definitely intimidated quite a few people."

Walden had no idea what had happened and was instantly intrigued.

"Why didn't you mention this to me?"

When Walden asked, Walter's reaction was evasive. "It's nothing. Just my useless grandson being a two-timer."

"He was practically engaged to a lovely girl and still caused a massive scene at school. I was so furious I had to go teach him a lesson."

Claire quickly realized she might have spoken out of turn.

She remembered Dane telling her that Walden had a daughter who had fallen in love with a man from Sundara.

For the sake of that man, she had abandoned her own father.

In Walden's eyes, his daughter hadn't just betrayed him; she had betrayed their country.

She had betrayed everything he stood for.

To him, his daughter was a forbidden subject.

If Walden found out exactly why Walter's grandson was getting beaten, it would likely dredge up his own painful memories.

Walden didn't press the issue.

He suspected Walter wasn't telling the whole truth.
