Ashlyn then turned to Angus and said, “What are you waiting for? Call the nurse.” Only then did Angus
pull himself together and hurriedly called for the nurse to come and change the bed sheets. Nelson let
out a long sigh, and Trevor immediately poured the former a cup of warm water.
“Grandpa, you can rinse your mouth with some water,” he said. After vomiting so much blood, Trevor
figured there must be a strong metallic taste lingering in Nelson's mouth. Nelson nodded weakly and
proceeded to rinse his mouth with the water from the cup. He immediately laid back down after that.
The nurse arrived quickly, and she efficiently began changing the bed sheets. In no time at all,
everything was replaced. Almost everyone stared at Nelson in disbelief. Finnick quickly walked to the
bedside and bent over.
“Dad, do you feel uncomfortable?”
Nelson opened his cloudy, blurred eyes. It seemed as though he couldn't hear Finnick's voice. The
former's gaze fell upon Ashlyn, and through his hazy vision, he saw a familiar face. Unable to contain
himself, he called out softly, “Alice... is that you?” Everyone was stunned when he uttered those words.
“Who is Old Mr. Oates calling? Who is Alice?” “Don't you know? I heard that when Old Mr. Oates was
young, he used to teach in Lake City and had a brilliant female student. She was incredibly talented.
Later, Old Mr. Oates returned to the capital and invited the girl to go with him, but she refused.”
“Really? How much of a genius must she be to impress Old Mr. Oates like that?” All the members of
the Oates family were stunned when they heard Nelson's voice and their faces displayed a plethora of
emotions. Right after, Nelson started murmuring again. “It's been so many years... Where have you
been? You heartless girl... Ah, time has flown by so quickly, and I've grown old...”Nelson's eyes reddened, and he was on the verge of tears. He reached out his hand toward Ashlyn
and said, “How can you still be so heartless? Won't you come to me when you see me?” Ashlyn
hesitated for a moment before walking toward Nelson. She lowered her gaze to the elderly man before
her, then stepped forward. She extended her almost translucent porcelain-white hand and grasped
Nelson's icy hand. “My mother's name is Alice. Is she the one you're talking about?”
“Mother...” Nelson was taken aback. He widened his eyes and stared intently at Ashlyn's face.
“Alice is your mother? You're not Alice? Then who are you...”
“I am her daughter.” Ashlyn sat by the sickbed, warming Nelson's hand with the heat of her palm.
“Is it true, like they said, that you were once my mother's teacher?”
“Where is Alice? Is she doing well now?” Nelson carefully examined Ashlyn.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook“Your eyebrows and eyes are very similar, and so is your nose, but your mouth is slightly different. It
must have resembled your father...” Ashlyn silently looked at Nelson for a while, unable to describe the
feelings in her heart. It was a difficult and uneasy situation, but she still didn't want to deceive Nelson,
who, in his twilight years, still cared for her mother. She opened her mouth and finally spoke.
“My mother passed away many years ago.”
“What... No, Alice is so outstanding. How could she possibly have passed away? She's still so young!
Chloe and Madison are both alive and well. How could she have died?” Nelson was extremely agitated
and began to cough violently again.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Blood trickled down from the corner of his lips. Ashlyn immediately raised her hand to pat his back.“Old Mr. Oates, you mustn't get agitated. My mother was destined for a short life. There was no way to
prevent it.”
“I can't believe it! I can't believe it! She deserves a much more brilliant life. She should shine brightly,
winning all kinds of awards at home and abroad. That's the life she's meant to live! How could she have
passed away...”
Nelson's eyes welled up with tears. A teardrop slid down his cheek. He slowly closed his eyes. “Alice is
truly exceptional. She's a genius. No matter what task comes her way, it becomes incredibly simple and
easy for her. No one can ever compare to her... Alice...”
