The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1140

Alijah sounded like he was speaking to Austin, but also as if he were talking to himself.

"I should have left long ago. I foolishly held onto the hope of seeing you marry and have children, but that was just wishful thinking."

Upon hearing this, Austin completely lost his composure and turned to Wynter. "Wynter, you can save Grandpa, right? You must be able to save him!"

"I can't," Wynter replied with lowered eyes. "Someone who was supposed to have passed away would only drain the vitality around them when they stay in a place where they don't belong.

"Not only would he harm his descendants, but others as well."

Hugging Alijah, Austin shook his head desperately. "My grandpa isn't like that. Wynter, I beg you. He loves me the most. Please, just this once."

Alijah also looked at Wynter with one hand still hidden behind his back.

Originally, Wynter didn't want to expose him. She preferred to leave only good memories for the grandfather and grandson.

But since Alijah had meddled in things he shouldn't have, he must pay the price for it.

"Is seeing Austin marry and have children your only wish, or do you want to achieve immortality through witchcraft, Mr. Fenton Senior? You should tell Austin what elixir allowed you to live this long."

"Wynter, I don't understand what you're saying. I can't control myself." Alijah looked pitiful. "If I could choose, I wouldn't want to live like this either.

"But I've become like this ever since that Yvette lady treated me. I really can't control it."

Such acting might have fooled others, but Wynter was, after all, a psychologist.

Whenever there was a contradiction between speech and behavior, it proved that everything he said was only for himself.

Wynter's eyes darkened. "She didn't let you die, nor did she save you. You should be aware of your own changes. You even killed someone. Before this, you planned to attack Logan, didn't you?"
