"Why were you running so quickly, Benson? Are you in a hurry to be somewhere?" Riley finally caught up and bent over to catch her breath.Adrian and Marie exchanged looks once more, both wondering what the pair was up to.After taking a few more moments to catch his breath, Benson stood up straight and said, "Sir, I'd like Riley’s hand in marriage, and I'd like to have your blessing."Adrian shot a glance at Riley, who put her arms in the air.Next to them, Marie looked at Riley and asked, "Are you the one who hurt Benson five years ago? You used to look down on him, and you come back now when he's rich?"Riley was suddenly pegged as a heinous woman out of nowhere, but just as she was about to explain herself, Benson quickly said, "Don't say that, Marie. It’d be my greatest joy to have Riley as my wife.” He then looked toward Adrian."You wish to become my brother-in-law?" Adrian asked.Benson nodded and sounded nervous as he said, "I'm in love with Riley, and I haven't been abl

A wave of absolute happiness washed over Benson and Riley.***Meanwhile, Adrian and Marie arrived at a farm. There were all kinds of herbs planted across the fields, which went all the way up the mountains, a gentle breeze blowing through like spring.She began to introduce the herbs scattered across the field, their uses, and their benefits. Despite being just eighteen, Marie knew a whole lot about medicinal herbs. Just as she was introducing another herb, Adrian cut her off."How's Mr. Benson's health lately?"Marie was stunned for a moment, unsure why Adrian would suddenly ask about Benson's health. 'Maybe he's asking because he's worried about Riley.'At that thought, she replied, "Mr. Benson has always been in good health, Big Brother. There's nothing to worry about.""Little girls shouldn't lie," Adrian chided, leaving Marie slightly dumbfounded.'Looks like he noticed something.'Marie’s lips twitched as she revealed, "Okay, he had a couple of instances of upset stomac

"I sensed the air of death from him the moment I saw him.""What…" Marie was stunned.Adrian turned around to look at her. "It's getting late. I should head back now. You should find time to take him to the hospital, okay?" He took off and headed to the manor after that, while Marie continued to look at him in a daze.Soon, Adrian arrived at the manor where Benson had prepared lunch and was waiting for him to arrive. "What do you think, sir? Is Mount Sol to your liking?" he asked with a smile when he saw Adrian walking in."Absolutely befitting of Navia's best place to be at!" Adrian complimented.Benson laughed and gestured. "I feel like everything we've worked for has been worth it because of your compliment. Lunch is ready. Right this way—""It's all right. I need to head back now," Adrian interrupted."Huh? Aren’t you going to stay for lunch after coming all the way here?" Benson was slightly disappointed at the unexpected turn of events.Riley walked in as well and said, "

Marie stood there in a daze for a while before she turned and left.***Meanwhile, Adrian left Mount Sol and was on his way back to Swallowston. His cell phone rang, revealing to be a call from Gloria."Hey, what's the matter, Gloria?"Gloria remained silent for a while before she asked, "Are you coming back from Mount Sol yet?""I'm on the road. What is it?""I think Sam's grandmother is at death’s door. Sam left Nova with me and headed to the hospital with Rue. Apparently, she may not live past today."'Madam Violet's about to die?'Adrian took a deep breath. Although his impression of Violet had always been pretty bad—plus she was a snide person—she was probably struck pretty hard after Clara's incident and had most likely realized her mistakes.'She's still Sam's grandmother after all.'"What sort of illness does she have?" Adrian asked."According to Sam, it's something to do with her lungs. In any case, the hospital said that she may not be able to get through tomorrow

Finally, upon reflecting on her mistakes, Violet understood all of the heinous things she had done to her granddaughter after she got married, which left a very bitter feeling in her heart.It was only after the truth was revealed and one realized how it happened would they realize their own mistakes. Yet, time waited for no one, nor was there any cure for regrets."Nathan, you're all here… Where's Samantha? Why isn't she here? Does she not think of me as her grandmother anymore? Is she really refusing to come and see me one last time?"Violet shed a tear, her voice was hoarse as she helplessly looked toward her children standing around her bed. Usually, a person nearing death would say virtuous things, while a bird that was about to die would sing mournfully. Regardless of what Violet had done in the past, she was still Samantha's grandmother at the end of the day. Grandparents may do things that disappoint their grandchildren, but the latter would always have some things they must

"Okay, I forgive you. I don't blame you anymore. I mean it." Tears welled up in Samantha's eyes as she tightly held onto Violet's hand.There were no more grudges or hatred at that moment.Madam Violet cried and smiled at the same time, her emotions mixed and uncontrollable, but there was endless regret in them. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say."Stop blaming yourself, Grandmother. Adrian and I have forgiven you. He’s also giving you another choice. He says we can be a family if you admit your mistakes.”Violet, in tears, nodded. She turned to look at Rue and said, "You've given birth to a wonderful son, Rue. It's a pity I was such a heinous person in the past. I trampled all over the kindness you showed me."Rue replied, "We don't blame you for any of it, Madam Violet. It's all in the past now, so let's keep it that way. We're a family if you know where you've gone wrong.""Thank you…"Rue shook her head, while Violet turned back to Samantha. "How long has it b

“Mother!”"No…"Several cries came one after the other, and Samantha knew that Violet had left for the next life. She wrapped her arms around Adrian's neck and buried her face into his chest. She cried, her body trembling as tears drenched her cheeks.Adrian held Nova with one hand, stroking Samantha's hair with the other. In a consoling voice, he said, "There are times when we can only allow nature to take its course rather than trying to change it. It was bound to happen someday.""I know,” Samantha lamented, "But I wasn't expecting for this day to arrive so soon. She may have been unkind to me in the past, but she…she's still my grandmother."Adrian said nothing in reply. Instead, he held her tight in his embrace, catching a whiff of the fragrance coming from her hair."Can I help out with her funeral?" Samantha asked, her face still buried against Adrian's chest."As much as you should be there to help. There's something even more important you need to do right now," Adrian
Chapter 935
Adrian and Samantha went back home to drop Nova off. After that, they headed to Paraiso, heading straight for the research group's main office.The research group's experiments had been ongoing ever since Samantha's New Paraiso, Danton, and other major corporations teamed up to study cancer. Aside from that, Adrian had convinced Kendall, who used to be Henry's subordinate, to join the team. Because of this, the research group's progress sped up by leaps and bounds.The couple arrived at the main office, where Danton and a few other investors were having a meeting. Danton and the others instantly got up when they saw the couple walking in."Ms. Samantha, War Legate Draco. What brings you two here?""Ms. Samantha.""War Legate Draco.”Everyone greeted in unison, causing a smile to grace Samantha’s face. After walking into the office, she said, "Please, everyone, take a seat. We're all in the same boat, so there's no need for you to be so formal.""Understood. Please, have a seat!"
