The next day
Sebastian arrived at the hospital.

The ward was packed with people. Jared sat on the sofa in the lounge area while Ruby busied herself on the side.
An elderly man sat on a stool by the bed, chatting with Mr. Whitmore. From time to time, he cast affectionate glances at the girl standing nearby. When he noticed his granddaughter staring dazedly toward the doorway, he finally realized a man had walked into the room.
Seeing the elder of the Lindt family seated at the bedside, Sebastian offered a polite greeting.
Triny Lewis studied the man who had just entered. In the past two years, Sebastian had returned to Kingston far too rarely, and she had been busy herself, so the two had never met.
When she heard that Mr. Whitmore had fallen ill, she guessed Sebastian would surely come. That was why she had insisted her grandfather bring her along today. As it turned out, her guess was right—he had indeed appeared.
Morten Lewis glanced at his stunned granddaughter, his eyes lighting up before he chuckled. “Look at my silly granddaughter. The moment she sees your Sebastian, she forgets she even has a grandfather. It seems a grown girl really can’t be kept at home p>
Triny snapped back to herself, her cheeks flushing red. She looked at the old man with shyness. “Grandpa, what are you saying?” Then she hurried to explain to Sebastian, “Brother Fu, please don’t misunderstand. I’m just… just…” But when she saw that the man hadn’t even glanced her way and had instead walked straight to the other side of the bed, her face instantly went pale.
Sebastian approached the bed and asked softly, “Grandpa, how are you feeling today p>
Mr. Whitmore gave a cold snort. “So you still remember to come see this old man. I thought you’d forgotten you even had a grandfather.” For the past two years, his grandson had spent nearly all his time in Solara. With Kingston so close by, Sebastian still seldom came to visit, and it left the old man feeling aggrieved.
“Young people are all busy these days. My little girl here is always performing everywhere and hardly spends a single day at home all year. How much busier must your Sebastian be?” Morten said cheerfully.
Jared quickly added, “That’s right, Dad. Sebastian rushed back overnight yesterday. Doesn’t that show how much he cares about you p>
Only then did Mr. Whitmore’s expression ease. In truth, he wasn’t really angry. It was just that old age made him wish his family could always be near.
“Grandpa, I’ll make time to visit you more often,” Sebastian said smoothly. For the past two years, with Lillian in an unending sleep, he hadn’t been able to leave.
Besides, as long as the girl wasn’t fully grown, he wasn’t willing for her to enter this circle too soon.
With his abilities, he could certainly protect her, but his little girl didn’t seem to like relying on him. The

thought brought an involuntary, helpless smile to his lips.

Across from him, Triny’s face went pale at the sight of that smile. It carried an unmistakable tenderness. Could it be…
No, impossible. If he really had a woman by his side, how could there have been no word of it? Sebastian was the object of pursuit for all the socialites in the top circles.
Any stir in his life would draw attention. She was probably overthinking it. After all, the man was rumored never to let any woman near him. With that in mind, Triny’s expression finally relaxed.
Sebastian never expected that a single expression of his would spark so many wild guesses, nearly exposing the truth.
After sitting for a while, Morten rose to leave. Triny looked at Sebastian with lingering reluctance before saying, “Grandpa and I will head back now. If there’s anything we can help with, don’t hesitate to ask p>
Ruby clasped the girl’s hand fondly. “You’re always so thoughtful. If Elsa were even half as considerate as you, I’d be perfectly content p>
Triny replied sweetly, “Since you like me so much, I’ll make sure to come visit you whenever I can. Just don’t find me annoying, okay p>
“How could I? As long as you young ones don’t find us boring old folks tiresome,” Ruby said with a laugh.
