Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 878

Even he did not know if he was smiling because he saw that hint of worry on his father’s face or because he had managed to prank somebody.

The smile stayed on his lips while his amber eyes were filled with amusement.

He stared at the finger while a storm brewed within his chest. There was no way he would admit that he was trembling as his chest heaved wildly.

A wide chasm yawned between the father and son.

From the moment he stepped into this career, and when his son contracted the terminal illness, their relationship had already begun to deteriorate.

“I know that you’ve been secretly providing for my half-brother all this time. He is healthy and is also very intelligent. I also know that my mother has been very cruel and has done many wrong things. However, can you make sure my mother is well taken care of after my death? After all, I’ve already done so much for you.”

This was all that Baylor asked of his father right before he fell to the ground.

Alfred dashed to him.

He was practically on his knees as he hugged Baylor in his arms with reddened eyes. “Don’t talk anymore! I’ll bring you to the doctor immediately.”

At last, he was feeling regret as he picked his son up in a bid to look for a doctor.

Alfred trembled violently.

This was not the ending that he had expected at all.

He had never quite liked this son since he was born. This was because he was unhappy in his marriage and also because of Baylor’s mother’s excessive love for him.

For Baylor, he had nothing but stern words and icy glares.

Therefore, his first reaction was to assume a father’s role no matter the situation.

He would save his son if he was about to die.

He would teach him a lesson if he caused trouble. On top of that, he expected his son to bear the consequences as well.

However, he had never expected his child to have done so much for him despite his disregard for him. His son had done so much to the extent of injuring himself and even losing his life.

Alfred tightened his embrace around Baylor.

Horton heard silence in the room when he came by again. Gleefully, he thought that the matter was already settled, so he immediately pushed the door open.

“Sir…”
