Chapter 1652
Kate finally succumbed to Griffon' pressure and boarded the private plane, accompanied by her beloved son.
Before arriving in Germany, Preston repeatedly reminded her not to say anything reckless when she meets Harper, or else he would go dismantle her house after finishing Edward's.
This threatening tactic was somewhat reminiscent of Griffon, but Preston lacked the same level of audacity as him. Kate couldn't help but think that Griffon would make a good son.
Frustrated by Preston's incessant babbling, Kate snapped, "Shut up!"
Preston finally fell silent and took the coffee handed to him by the flight attendant. Taking a sip, he said, "Mom, if you help me win Harper back, I promise to be obedient to you in the future."
Griffon had specifically instructed him to say this before leaving, but Kate couldn't understand Griffon' intention behind it.
Surprised by Preston's unexpectedly sentimental words about Harper, Kate asked, "You really like Harper that much?"
Holding his coffee, Preston corrected her, "It's not just like, it's love. I love her very much..."
In Kate's memory, Preston had always been carefree, so it was the first time she saw him so serious and sincere.
Subconsciously, Kate asked, "What would you do if you didn't have her?"
Kate raised her gaze and looked at Preston, who was overjoyed. At the moment she boarded the plane, his smile never wavered. It was genuine happiness that made him say those words of filial piety, right? Griffon was right, it was better to make her son grateful than resentful.
Perhaps, after helping Preston, she could also seize the opportunity to gain her daughter's forgiveness. With these thoughts in mind, Kate's resistance waned.
After getting off the plane, led by Preston, they arrived at the hospital. Kate learned that Harper came here to take care of her younger brother, who had grown up together with her in an orphanage. Kate didn't quite understand this behavior. It was just pup period friendship, so why put in so much effort?
It wasn't until they stood in front of the hospital room and saw Harper, acting like an older sister as she wiped Silas's face and hands with a towel, that Kate realized her actions were affectionate but devoid of any ambiguity. She was simply taking care of her loved one.
This version of Harper gave Kate the impression that she was quite sincere and loyal.
