Chapter 191 Asher stood outside the door listening for a moment before deciding not to enter . The sky was overcast , with a fine , persistent rain beginning to fall . Walking to the hospital entrance , Asher gazed up at the oppressive sky , his thoughts drifting . He and Thalia likely had no future together . Andrew , his father , only fifty two years old , was about to leave this world . When Asher was five , the scandal of Andrew''s illegitimate child had erupted .

    He knew Andrew didn''t love his mother - and didn''t love him either . Asher had never experienced paternal affection growing up . Throughout his life , his rtionship with Andrew had remained distant . He had assumed he wouldn''t be affected when Andrew died . Yet now that the moment approached , he discovered he wasn''t as indifferent as he''d expected . Nearby , a middle - aged man hurried toward the hospital entrance , holding a small boy in one arm and an umbre in the other .


    Soon , the man reached Asher''s side . At the hospital entrance , the man closed his umbre and spoke softly to the child: " Don''t cry , love . Daddy''s taking you to see the doctor . You''ll feel better soon . " Something twisted in Asher''s chest . His gaze remained fixed on them , impossible to tear away . The little boy seemed only a year or two old , so small and vulnerable .


    97.9 % Nairnce Chapter 191 The man wore the dark blue uniform of a factory worker , thepany name embroidered on his chest . Asher noticed the man''s hands - rough , darkened by work , covered in calluses . Yet these weathered hands held the child with incredible tenderness , radiating profound paternal love . His face , marked by life''s hardships , showed nothing but concern and worry . Such an expression had rarely appeared on Andrew''s face . No , that wasn''t entirely true .


    The year Andrew had brought Malfoy back to Ennd , begging his parents to ept the boy into the family . They had refused , not even allowing them inside . Andrew had knelt at the door with Malfoy , refusing to leave . The weather that day had been simr to today''s . Oppressively gloomy and suffocating . Rain had begun to fall . Andrew had removed his coat to cover Malfoy''s head , shielding him from the elements .


    But Malfoy had still been drenched , caught a chill , and developed a fever . Andrew''s worried expression had mirrored this father''s exactly . Asher watched silently , a dull ache spreading through his chest . The man hurried inside with his child . Asher returned his gaze to the curtain of rain before him . A few young women nearby blushed as they stole nces at him , whispering among themselves . Asher remained oblivious to their attention . He stepped forward into the pouring rain .


    That night , at Asher''spound . " Sir , we''ve located Fiona Malfoy''s grave , " Lucas reported quietly , standing before Asher . " Tom Malfoy constructed a 98.1 % Chapter 191 special memorial for her in a remote vige in Chernov , Russia . " Lucas handed Asher a document folder . " This vige was where Fiona and Tom first settled when they arrived in Russia . They lived there for five years , and Fiona died there . " Asher opened the folder .

" " Has the grave been examined ?


    " Asher asked , his tone deceptively casual , though a keen observer would have noticed the cold , predatory gleam in his eyes . Lucas nodded . " Yes , it''s confirmed to be a cenotaph . " " And Fiona''s ashes ? " Asher inquired , his dark eyes swirling with indecipherable emotion . " We''ve retrieved them . " Lucas gestured to one of his men . The man quickly left and returned momentster carrying a dark urn . Lucas took the urn from his subordinate . " Sir , these are Fiona Malfoy''s ashes .


    " Asher stared at the container , his eyes as deep and unfathomable as the ocean .
