Chapter 234

After Rachel left the ward, Justin looked down at the back of his hand. Her warmth still lingered there from when she had smacked his hand away.

The sunset outside the window couldn’t have come at a better time, and the evening sun dyed the entire sky lovely warm hues. At that moment, Justin’s lips curved up into a shallow smile. A gentle warmth settled on his face, warming away the coldness.

Indeed, it seemed that she could only get an open invitation by getting close to Justin. The moment she stepped inside, she caught sight of an old man with white hair sitting behind the desk there. He was reading a book, but when he saw Rachel come in, he marked his place with a bookmark and set the book aside. He crossed those withered hands of his and placed them on top of the desk as his heavy gaze settled on her. “Sit.” Rachel sat down across the desk. “It has been a while. I heard that your muteness has been cured. Congratulations.” “Your mind is still as sharp and healthy as ever. I believe the same goes for your physical health?” “Not quite, but it doesn’t matter. I simply wish for my descendants to surpass their potential and manage the family business well when they inherit it.” “You’re a fortunate man to have so many excellent children and grandchildren.” It was a normal conversation, but the politeness they employed was like a series of dancing
