Chapter 694 Disappointed

Walter hadn't expected that right after giving birth, Meryl

wasn't thinking about her newborn but was instead set on seeing Felix.

He hesitated before saying, "Mr. Powell's surgery is over. He should be resting in his room now."

It warmed his heart. At least someone genuinely cared about Felix.

He felt sure Felix would be overjoyed when he found out.

"How is he?" Meryl asked.

Philip hesitated, unsure how to respond.
