Grand Old Master Yorks waved his hand at him, his complexion a little gloomy. "Don't mention it. Scott refuses to hand the child over no matter what. I don't understand. Dawn has nothing to do with the Severes, so why is he even fighting with us?"
Grand Old Master Ares laughed. "He's fighting for justice."
The two strolled along Tourmaline Estate's broad path. Grand Old Master Yorks was extremely downcast. "Do you think that I've failed as a human being too, Dylan?"
Grand Old Master Ares said modestly, "How can I comment on you, Chief Yorks?"
Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Stop being so mysterious. Go on, I’m listening."
Grand Old Master Ares sighed. "Since you want me to say it, then I’ll say a few words. Chief Yorks, you're not to be blamed for indulging your daughter, but you’ve failed to think in other people’s shoes. Think about it, you love your daughter and don't want to upset her, hence you support all her wrongdoings blindly. Has it not crossed your mind that Angelina is also the apple o f the Severes' eye as well as Jay’s little princess? You can't stand it when Chloe is hurt, but you think the
Severes and Jay can stand it when Angeline is hurt?”
Grand Old Master Yorks sighed inwardly, ashamed of his actions. "I know I was wrong. It's because of my indulgence for my daughter that I've let the Yorks’ daughters-in-law down, let Jay down, and let Jens down. The gains I have simply cannot make up for the losses. If I can go back in time, I would stop Chloe from committing all those unforgivable mistakes...”
Grand Old Master Ares patted the back of Grand Old Master Yorks' hand and comforted him. "Don't lose hope. Stay in Tourmaline Estate with me and wait for Jay and Angeline to come home."
Grand Old Master Yorks' eyes were filled with a trace o f longing. "Will they come back?"
Grand Old Master Ares said with confidence, "Jay may not want to come back, but I know that Angeline definitely will."
Grand Old Master Yorks was a little puzzled. Grand Old Master Ares explained, "You only see the most ordinary side of Angeline but not her extraordinary qualities. Love is, for her, tolerance and acceptance-not destruction. She loves Jay and will make sure Jay doesn't separate from his family members."
Grand Old Master Yorks was astounded. After a while, he said, "If Angeline really comes back, then the Yorks will definitely repent and seek her forgiveness sincerely."
Grand Old Master Ares said, "All I'm hoping right now i s that the couple can fight the illness together and hopefully return to our side soon. I’m old now. I really don’t have much time left."
Grand Old Master Yorks looked despondently at Grand Old Master Ares while feeling a sense of guilt. At this moment, he wished for one thing only—for Angeline to fight the illness and come home soon.
On the other side.
Jay brought Angeline to the places they had been to when they were just children to relive their memories. As Angeline was too weak, Jay chose to settle in Cloud City-a place where the climate felt like spring all year round.
He bought an elegant yet tiny courtyard house so Angeline could get some sun when she was in the courtyard.
Now that they had settled down, they were supposed t o have a pleasant time together, but Jay's heart was shrouded in a haze. Angeline's alienation gave him a false perception that she had given up on him, and this recognition hit Jay so hard that it left him feeling slightly discouraged.
