Chapter 32
“She hasn't even been here for an hour, and she’s already injured. If Young Master Isaac treats her like this under your watch, | can’t even imagine how he treats her when they're alone.”
Robin heaved a woeful sigh.
“It looks like | have to come up with a contingency plan in case she decides that she couldn’t put up with Isaac and asks for a divorce.”
It didn’t take Long for Robin to think of a way. In fact, he had already started making preparations before Camila and Isaac had even gotten their marriage certificate.
Stevie was pretty much in the same page as his boss, so it didn’t take him Long to put two and two together. “Back then, you asked me to look for a heart donor...”
He was unable to finish his words as Camila stepped out of the bathroom.
Stevie immediately shut his mouth.
Robin leaned against his cane and pulled himself up from the sofa “Come with me,” he beckoned to Camila. The old man turned away and headed to his study.
Camila Left the medical kit to Stevie before following Robin.
Moments later, the Johnston patriarch was sitting behind his desk with a sorrowful expression.
“Isaac was very young when his parents died. | was the one who raised him. He stayed in a boarding school for the most of his student life, and immediately moved out of the mansion after graduating from university. He took over the company and buried himself in work. That brat barely even comes home to see me anymore.”
Robin turned even more morose as he talked about the past. Isaac's father was his eldest son, and the pain of losing him and his daughter-in-Law still felt fresh even now, a decade after the incident.

Aside from his parents’ death, Isaac also had other reasons for staying away.
Robin could more or less predict how Isaac would deal with his uncle’s family once he passed away.
He also knew that Isaac had been holding himself back all these years for his sake.
Robin wanted his grandson to have a good and sensible woman by his side, someone who would understand his struggles and help him change for the better.
Someone who would encourage Isaac to let go of his hatred and look ahead into the future.
Regardless of all that had transpired, they were still family, and Robin didn’t want to see them going at each other’s throats. “Grandpa...” Camila didn’t know how to comfort the old man.
Robin had always been nice to her.
It was clear to all that Marvin had acted out of greed and practically coerced the Johnston family into allowing the marriage, but Robin had never taken it against her.
He raised a hand now, silently telling her that he was fine. “I agreed to your marriage with Isaac because | know that you are a good egg. Your grandfather was very loyal and kind, and I was certain that he had passed those admirable traits to you. That’s why | want you to stay with Isaac and take care of him.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
