"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence! I'm not a competent father, and I've caused irreparable harm to Rosalie. You both are truly her second parents. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to..."

After that last visit, Gordon's last words burned in Benedict's and Melody’s minds.

Melody felt deeply conflicted inside.

She dared not acknowledge herself as Rosalie’s second parent, like how Gordon claimed her to be. She had wronged Rosalie in so many ways before. She was just spending this time to atone for her mistakes.

Fortunately, she still had a chance; unlike Gordon, who only realized it when he was dying.

Next, the three little kids paid a visit to their grandpa.

Of course, the adults did not tell the kids about his actual illness but only said that he was sick. In the eyes of the kids, he must be having a terrible cold.

Hence, the three little kids gave their grandpa some encouragement. They asked him to rest well and drink plenty of water, and that he would be fine soon.
