“Adie… Abby…” Stefan mumbled his precious children’s names, the sadness in his eyespounded.


    “What right do I have to call myself their father now? I don’t think they’d even want someone useless as


    family.”


    “Then don’t be useless! You’re just blind and still have your smarts to back you up, and you’re definitely


    still capable of managing thepany. It’s just that you can’t show yourself during this period of time.


    Don’t let anyone, especially Jovan, find out that you have lost your sight. Else we’d have more


    problems to worry about.”


    Francine had already thought this through and had only announced to the public that Stefan caught a


    severely contagious disease. She told everyone that he was still in recovery and couldn’t manage the


    company or receive guests for the time being


    However, a lie like that would only cover up the truth for so long. The limited time they currently had


    was a great incentive for her to find this Albus Order leader as quickly as possible.


    Just then, one of the maids shouted in a panic from outside, “No, Master Jovan. Our madam said that


    no one is allowed to enter without her permission! Please cooperate with us.”


    “What the heck? I’m part of the Hunt family, too, you know? I came to see my cousin. I heard he’s sick,


    and I’ve been so worried this whole time!” Jovan said in a loud and sarcastic tone as he strode into the


    manor, despite the maid’s attempt at stopping him.


    “Damned kid! He’s like a f*cking ghost. We can’t even mention his name in this house!” Francine was


    so mad that she started cussing, then turned to Stefan. “Head back to your room. I’ll handle him, for


    now. And remember… Don’t show yourself!”


    Jovan was in the living room at the time. His hands were in his pockets, his expression nonchnt and


    arrogant. “Hey, Aunt Francine, your maids are so stubborn. I just swung by to check up on Cousin


    Stefan, but she wouldn’t let me in! It’s like you guys have some kind of secret to hide.”


    Francine knew that they were still the passive party and didn’t want to fight with Jovan. After all, this


    man was insane, and fighting with him would only result in a lose-lose situation.

    With that in mind, she put up a smile and greeted him instead. “Hey, dear nephew, what brings you


    here? It’s almost midnight, but you still went out of your way to visit us. I’m so touched I could cry! But,


    well… Stef caught a pretty bad contagious disease, so he needs a lot of rest. He went to bed hours


    ago, so he can’t see you just yet!”


    “That’s okay, I’m feeling tired too. If you don’t mind, Aunt Francine, I could stay for the night. Then I can


    just see Stefan when morninges.” Jovan replied and started going up the stairs.


    “I’m sorry, this is actually Stef and Renee’s house. Only their close ones are allowed to sleep over. If


    you really want to visit him, you coulde earlier tomorrow.”


    “As you said, this ce is my cousin and his wife’s. Does that mean I can stay if I got permission from


    Renee?” Jovan smiled slyly.
