Chapter 404
At that moment, all Hector wanted was to see Juliette. Hence, he felt unsettled when he could no longer see her.
Upon hearing Felicia's words, he nodded to indicate his agreement with Juliette's request.
An insidious smile subsequently flashed across Felicia's face. I'm a genius! Even Old Mr. Lowen is going along with my plan. Hahaha!
She was so elated that it felt as if she was on cloud nine.
As long as he's treated by Maddy's father, Old Mr. Lowen would be able to speak very soon. When that happens, my engagement with Patrick would be a done deal. Hopefully, he can be cured today.
When she swiftly pushed Hector out, the housekeepers who passed by didn't seem bothered by it, as they were not responsible for caring for him.
Also, none of them dared to interfere, especially since Felicia came by often and didn't seem to harbor ill intentions.
Moreover, they had heard that Hector was fond of Felicia and was trying to get her engaged to Patrick. Thus, no one dared to offend her in any way.
Despite Patrick having feelings for someone else, Hector's word was final. Also, everyone knew that Patrick wouldn't go against his grandfather, especially in the latter's current condition.
Patrick, in order to be filial, would definitely give in to Hector's wishes in the end.
Sometimes, it was the housekeepers who had more insight than everyone else.
Soon, Felicia arrived at the parking lot, where the driver got out to carry Hector into the car. It was then that Juliette popped her head over.
“Old Mr. Handsome, hahaha...”
Juliette burst into laughter while unwrapping a sweet, which she subsequently fed Hector.
“Here's a sweet for you.”
Ecstatic over the gesture, Hector opened his mouth to eat it. To him, Juliette's sweets were the sweetest in the world and never failed to melt his heart.
Felicia hurried into the car and ordered, “Drive to the place I designated before I came here and step on it.”
Wiping the sweat off his brow, the driver was panting from carrying Hector.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare utter a word of complaint despite how exhausted he was. All he could do was dry his sweat in silence before driving off.
Meanwhile, Felicia glanced in the rearview mirror. The little girl's presence makes my plan go smoothly. Look at how happy Old Mr. Lowen is. She's definitely someone special and will be extraordinary when she grows up.
In truth, Felicia really hoped that Juliette would never grow up. Also, she could never figure out how an old man and Gwendolyn could produce such beautiful offspring.
Her sons are extremely smart too. There must be something wrong with the genes. Wouldn't it be great if she had given birth to three idiots instead? Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
After feeding Hector the sweet, Juliette began to give him a massage.
“Old Mr. Handsome, let me give you a massage. I give one to Ms. Ziegler every day, and she says that it feels really nice. Since you can't walk, maybe my massage will help your legs regain their strength.”
There was no way a child would harbor any ill intentions.
She hoped that Hector's legs would recover so that he could go anywhere he wanted.
Hector responded by smiling ear to ear, evidence of his wonderful mood.
When Felicia saw how happy he was, she began to worry.
Hence, she whispered to the driver, “Zane, look. Is smiling that way a symptom of Old Mr. Lowen's sickness acting up?”
Zane checked the mirror quickly. Old Mr. Lowen does seem to be overdoing it with his smile.
After pondering a moment, he replied, “Ms. Ashton, I think he's just happy.”
When Felicia took another look, her eyes coincidentally met Hector's in the rearview mirror. In that instant, the latter's smile faded as a grim expression descended upon his face.
The sudden change in mood brought a sense of relief to Felicia. Thank God it isn't his sickness acting up.
Once Juliette was done with her massage, she took her seat beside Hector.
“Old Mr. Handsome, it's such a shame that you can't speak. Wouldn't it be great if you could? I love talking every day. What do you want to eat? All I need to do is say what I want, and it will be given to me by Ms. Ziegler and Gwen. But since you can't speak, what happens when you're hungry?”
