Chapter 1594

“But Dad, I-” “That’s enough, Sophia.” Adam interrupted. He did not want to dwell on the past with

Sophia. “I just hope that you won’t argue with Lilin anymore.

You’re my only children, and I genuinely hope to see you both get along with each other.”

Sophia reluctantly nodded and said, “Okay. I understand, Dad. I promise not to get angry at Lilin and

avoid arguing with her in the future.”

Adam patted Sophia’s shoulder. “That’s my girl.”

Sophia discreetly suppressed her frustrations. She decided to deal with Melinda and Lilin after

successfully inheriting Adam’s estate.

It took them about an hour to arrive at the hotel. When Adam checked into his suite, he told his

subordinates to take care of their luggage while he brought Melinda and Lilin to meet Zachary. It had

been a while since he met his son-in law.

Zachary remained calm when he saw Adam and nodded slightly to greet him.

“Welcome, sir.”

Adam clasped his hands behind his back and said unhappily, “How polite of you.

Though I’m curious to know why you couldn’t make the effort to come with Sophia to fetch your father-

in-law at the airport.” “Sorry about that,” Zachary replied. “It’s difficult for me to go far because of my

legs. I hope you’ll forgive me forthat.”

Adam glared at Zachary, who sat in his wheelchair. The more he looked at Zachary’s legs, the more

annoyed he became.

Sophia did not want her father to blame Zachary for that, so she tugged his arm gently before walking

toward Zachary.

When she got closer, she noticed that Zachary’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

“Why are you sweating so much, Zachary?” Sophia asked worriedly. She touched his forehead and

exclaimed, “Your temperature is very high! Are you feeling sick? Do you have a fever?”

Zachary gently shook his head and pushed her hand away. “I’m fine. It’s just a minor headache.”

That was the only excuse he could come up with. He had been secretly doing some rehabilitation

exercises while she was away and had yet to get a chance to freshen up, but telling her the truth was

simply out of the question.

“Your headache must be because of a fever! Please go back to your room and rest. I’ll have a doctor

check on you later!” Sophia was so anxious that she completely forgot about her parents. She urged

Zachary to return to the room and insisted he lie down for a while.

Adam could only watch as his daughter frantically took care of Zachary. A slight hint of concern

appeared in his eyes as he said, “Tch. He’s so fragile. If I had known better, I would’ve broken one leg

instead of two. That way, he can still limp back to his family, and Sophia won’t have to suffer so much

with him right now!” 1 Melinda sighed and walked over to hold Adam’s arm. “Sigh! Don’t be too hard on

him. It’s not like he wants to be in that condition! Let’s go back to our room and give Sophia some room

to rest with Zachary.”

Adam sighed and left with his wife.

Lilin was about to follow her parents when she caught sight of Bryan staring at her from nearby.

However, she mistakenly believed that the boy was Benjamin.

She walked over and extended a hand toward Bryan, saying, “Would you like to play with me?”

Bryan shook his head because he did not recognize Lilin.

Lilin frowned at Bryan and said, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m your Aunt Lilin!”

Sophia rarely allowed Zachary and Benjamin to meet people, so Lilin did not see Benjamin very often.

As a result, she did not find it too odd that he did not recognize her.

Bryan blinked and asked, “Aunt Lilin?”

Lilin assumed that Bryan was calling out to her instead of asking her a question.

“Yeah! Let’s go! I brought you a gift this time. It’s a robot toy! You’ll like it for sure!”
