Harlan had always known his place in the family.

In the past, his role was simple–protect Larissa and make sure she was happy.

But everything changed the day Julia returned. Morris gave him a new order: from now on, Julia came first.

If he failed, both he and Jettson might be forced to leave the family.

So Harlan devoted himself to Julia. He spared no effort and even did things he wasn’t proud of.

Morris had also arranged for him to study at Eldercrown University, making it easier for him to stay close to Julia and look after her.

On the surface, the household looked peaceful and harmonious.

Then the television suddenly broke the calm. The news announced that Larissa had become the nation’s top SAT scorer.

Morris froze. The glass in his hand nearly slipped as a wave of regret rose in his chest.

Had Larissa always been this brilliant? Back then, he had been blind. Because she wasn’t biological daughter, he had treated her coldly and even driven her out of the house.

“Larissa is the national SAT top scorer?” Morris muttered in disbelief. “A perfect score? Since when did she become this outstanding?”

What had he lost?

Julia’s face darkened instantly. Jealousy burned in her eyes. “Dad, she must have cheated! There’s no way she scored higher than me.”

Harlan was stunned. He hadn’t expected Larissa to perform so well.

After everything she had done to him, how could she still succeed like this?

His knuckles turned white as his fists clenched. He vowed to have his revenge someday.

After a long silence, Morris finally spoke.

“Forget it. I’ll visit her another day and try to repair our relationship. No matter what, she’s still the daughter I raised.

“Larissa has always had a soft heart. If I take the first step, she’ll forgive me.

“I know how much she once cared about me.”

He then turned to Julia and Harlan. “Tomorrow, if you’re free, go visit your grandmother in the hospital. She’s been sick for a long time, and neither of you has gone to see her.

“Her condition is getting worse. At least show some respect while she’s still here.”

Julia stomped her foot, furious. In her heart, she was already plotting how to humiliate Larissa.

The next day, Morris brought Julia and Harlan to the hospital.

Sally lay weakly in the hospital bed, tubes connected to her body. She looked pale and drained.

She had been hospitalized for several months. During that time, only her son and the caregiver had visited. No one else had come.

Her condition was getting worse day by day.

At first, she thought she would stay for only a few days. She never expected it to drag on this long.

If Larissa were here, she would have taken good care of her.

Surely that was why she hadn’t recovered; Larissa wasn’t around to look after her.

What an ungrateful girl. They had raised her, yet this was how she repaid them?

Driven by her fear of death, Sally convinced herself of something strange. Her illness must be worsening because Larissa wasn’t here to care for her.

Whether it helped or not, she had to bring Larissa back.

Just then, the hospital room door opened. Morris walked in with Julia, carrying a bag of fruit.

The dull look in Sally’s eyes suddenly brightened.

“Grandma, we came to see you,” Julia said sweetly.
