"Jon, no enmity lasts between father and son. You've misunderstood him!" Lizzie didn't answer directly.

Her ambiguous reply was meant to make everyone believe that Jonathan was the main cause of Cyrus' current condition.

Jonathan was all too clear with the trick. He didn't even bother to glance at Lizzie, and nor did he want to waste time dealing with her. He reached forward and took Rose's hand.

"Let's go." His voice was warm, unlike the cold indifference he had shown Lizzie. It surprised everyone present.

Jonathan was known for his cold demeanor in the Finch family and rarely showed any warmth or even a smile.

There was a hint of gentleness in his voice just now, but the Jonathan they knew had nothing associated with the word "gentleness".

The people present couldn't help but look at Jonathan and Rose beside him again. They had just been astonished at Rose's act of protecting Jonathan, but upon closer examination, they noticed the unusual way Jonathan looked at her. Rose was tall and had striking features. Though she was plainly dressed, she made an unexpectedly perfect match with Jonathan when standing next to him.

Hand in hand, the two walked past the kneeling Lizzie. Tears and grievances marked Lizzie's face, but a shadow of gloom flickered across it. How could she let them leave just like that?

"Ms. Shaffer..." Lizzie suddenly called out.

Jonathan and Rose were just at the door when the voice from behind made Rose pause slightly.

She looked up when feeling Jonathan's grip tighten a bit, and her heart skipped a beat at the sight of his handsome profile. However, Jonathan showed no intention to stop, and Rose followed him. "Ms. Shaffer..." Lizzie didn't expect Rose to ignore her.
