Chapter 1320: Chapter 1322 A Lifelong Bond

The next day, there was a seismic shift in the Struyria political scene, and all officials were trembling with fear.

Lily’s father personally brought gifts and went to Macsen Villa to seek an audience with Waylon.

When the butler brought Liam into the room, Waylon was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.

He had been planning to visit the hospital to check on Daniel, but who’d have thought Daniel’s father.

appeared at his doorstep?!

It seemed he would have to delay his hospital visit for another half an hour.

“Mr. Adelmar.” Liam nodded and bowed to Waylon.

“Please, have a seat,” Waylon said with an air of elegance. “Mr. Thomas, do you need me for something?”

To take precautions,” Liam hurriedly said. “I’m not sure about the specifics of the investigation ordered.

from above. I personally believe I haven’t crossed any lines, but there have been some indulgences in terms of wining and dining. I’m not sure if this investigation also prohibits such activities.”

Huh! Waylon chuckled. “So, you’ve come for this, Mr. Thomas?”

“I would appreciate your guidance, Mr. Adelmar.“

“I don’t have the time to listen to what you’ve been up to all these years, Waylon said. “If you have concerns, it might be best for you to go and reflect in front of the higher-ups. For minor issues, given your voluntary disclosure, they might show some leniency. For major ones, a good attitude can still make a difference.

Liam immediately understood the implication. Waylon was suggesting that he should voluntarily come forward and confess! That way, he might receive a more lenient treatment.

“Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Adelmar!” Liam bowed.

“Take your things with you.” Waylon waved his hand dismissively. “Do what you need to do. I also have to leave, so I won’t keep you any longer.”

Liam knew he couldn’t refuse, so he picked up the gifts he had brought and hurriedly left.

While Liam went to his higher-ups for self-reflection, Waylon came to the hospital.

Before he even pushed open the door to Daniel’s ward, he could hear Doris talking to him inside.

“I never expected that I would involve you so deeply. I’m really sorry.”

“Why are we still talking about this between us?” Daniel said. “Protecting you is my duty, and you’ve admitted that I’m your boyfriend.”

Mr Thomas…”

“Call me Daniel Daniel smiled Tm willing to give up my life for you, so why be so formal with me?”

Doris nodded. Thank you, Daniel “Don’t worry about it.” Daniel reached out and held Doris’ hand, speaking gently. “I’ll treat you better from now on. I won’t let you be in danger like this again. Wherever you go, I’ll be there, so you have nothing to fear. You have me!”

Doris teared up at his words, letting Daniel hold her hand as she softly replied, “Yes.”

“But…” Daniel continued, “Doris, is there really nothing between you and Mr. Adelmar?”

“Of course not,” Doris replied. “What are you thinking?”

“But your two children… Why do they look so much like him? I’ve suspected more than once that they are Mr. Waylon’s flesh and blood.”

“How can you say that?” Doris became somewhat angry. “Mr. Adelmar and I are innocent. Una and Nessa have no connection to him whatsoever. You and I can choose not to be in a relationship, but you can’t unjustly accuse me like this! It’s unfair to both Mr. Adelmar and me!”

“I didn’t mean it that way.” Daniel hurriedly explained, “I care about you so much. That’s why I’m concerned about this. Can’t you forgive me?”

“I think you just don’t trust me,” she said, annoyed. “Just like what you said, we’re willing to give up our lives for each other. Could I still deceive you?”

“Alright, alright, I was wrong. Forgive me, okay?” Daniel comforted her. “I promise I won’t bring this up again.”

“Will you still have doubts?” Doris looked at him. “Will you have lingering suspicions?”

“I…” Daniel would be lying if he said he had no lingering suspicions. After all, the twins resembled Waylon too much.

“I can provide you with an answer!” Waylon pushed the door open and walked in. “Daniel, don’t misunderstand Doris. We are truly innocent, and as for those two children, I can arrange for a paternity test to prove it to you. If they are really my children, I can’t just give them away, can I? That would be absurd!”
