    If he hadn’t made proper arrangements, he wouldn’t have confronted the second wife.


    The second wife slumped to the ground and was soon taken away by the police.


    Madam had aged considerably and was helped back by Cecilia.


    Johan and the third son returned from handling Holden’s funeral arrangements, and Cecilia had juste downstairs.


    She whispered, “She just fell asleep. Don’t wake her.”


    The third son nodded. “Ci, thanks to you, she finds somefort.”


    “It’s the least I can do.”


    Cecilia motioned for them to go to the living room.


    Madam had been good to her, so she naturally wanted to take care of her.


    Johan and the third son talked aboutpany matters for a while, then the third son went back to his room.


    Gwendolyn had a bit of a cold, and the third wife was coaxing him to take medicine. Seeing her husband looked upset, she asked softly, “What’s wrong?”


    The third son sat down beside her and said quietly, “I still think Johan went a bit too far.”


    “Actually, he didn’t have to go that far.”

    “After all, the second brother died. We could have just kicked the second wife out. Why did we have to call the police?”


    The third wife knew her husband was soft–hearted, but it wasn’t good that he couldn’t see the big picture when it mattered.


    She had coaxed Ping’an into taking his medicine and had him go y elsewhere before lowering her voice to speak with her husband.


    “You just don’t feel the pain since it didn’t happen to you. Put yourself in Xiao Han’s shoes–imagine how agonizing it must be to learn your parents were killed by your own uncle.”


    “His methods were harsh, but how else could he have survived? And if he weren’t ruthless, how could he protect his sister?”


    Cheng Huayu understood all this, yet his heart ached.


    Both his elder brothers were gone.


    The third madam gently embraced her husband. “Huayu, let’s just focus on living our own lives well.


    Cheng Huayu knew she was right.


    Cecilia stayed by Madam’s side until she awoke, then sighed in relief. “Grandma.”


    Madam blinked. “You watched over me all night? You silly girl–you’re pregnant! Why exhaust yourself like this? Go rest at once.”


    Cecilia smiled. Though Madam looked tired, her strong voice confirmed she’d recover.


    After offering a fewforting words, Cecilia returned to her room, washed up, and slept.

    When she came downstairster, she found Frank and Wesley waiting.


    Frank beamed. “Ci.”


    Cecilia didn’t look at Wesley, greeting only the elder. “What brings you here today?”


    Frank said: “I heard something happened at your home, so I came to


    see.”


    Holden’s funeral wasn’t a big affair, and no rtives or friends were invited, so Frank only found out today.


    He finally had an excuse to bring Wesley to see Cecilia.


    Wesley sat beside him, silent, not staring at Cecilia either.


    When Cecilia arrived, he stood up and said: “I’ll go find Johan.”


    Johan had been exhausted for two days and hadn’t gotten up yet.


    Wesley went to his room.


    Cecilia went to the small garden.


    The autumn sun was warm, and whenever the weather was nice, she always liked to bask in the morning sun for a while.


    Frank sighed softly, “Old sister, the fate between our two families…”


    He wanted to bring up the matter between Wesley and Cecilia.


    Madam immediately looked displeased, “They’re already divorced.”


    Frank grew a bit anxious, “Cecilia is pregnant with Wesley’s child


    No matter what, we can’t let my Carlton family’s flesh and blood be out there. Besides, they have a foundation of feelings, they only separated

    because of some misunderstandings. Why not let them spend time together again?”


    Madam snorted sarcastically, “Our Johnson family can certainly afford


    to raise a child.”


    “I didn’t mean you can’t afford it.”


    Frank just wanted to hold his great–grandchild.


    “Johan wants to keep this child. The child will carry the Johnson name. If she doesn’t want to keep it, our family supports her decision.”


    Madam respected her granddaughter’s choice.


    “As for Wesley.”


    Madam said scornfully, “Such a muddle–headed man isn’t worthy of being the Johnson family’s son–inw. If you want a great–grandson, arrange matchmaking for him immediately. Wedding in January, baby in February. Plenty of time.”
