Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 345
At first, I actually had hopes for our marriage. At the very least, I had fantasies about you, that maybe our arranged marriage could turn into love, that maybe we could be together for better
or for worse,
that my husband would be my rock, giving me the strength to
face the storms of the world.
Obviously, you failed. No, it wasn’t just that you weren’t a good fit, you were far, far from it.
I figured it out later. When it comes down to it, there’s only one
reason: no love. Love can make you charge into battle, travel to
the ends of the earth. But without love…
There’s no love between us, only a sense of duty. A marriage
like that can collapse at any moment.”
I just can’t stay in this awful environment any longer. All I want
to do now is run, run far away, far away from you, far away from the Simpson family. Bradley, we weren’t meant to be in this life,
and I hope to avoid you in the next one too…”

Timothy rushed in, “Mr. Navarro, it’s bad!
The old patriarch is critically ill. He’s been taken back to the
Navarro’s mansion. Sol said… he’s just barely hanging on.”
Martin had been sent to a nursing home before.
It was supposedly for recuperation, but it was more like he was
just left there to fend for himself.
Lysander had originally planned to visit after things settled
down at work, and then discuss the next steps for treatment
with the doctor.
But he never expected…
The bad news came so quickly.
Lysander’s face darkened instantly, and the air around him
turned cold.

“Let’s go. To the mansion.”

But the way to the mansion, the car made a detour to pick up Seraphina and Dion.
Dion didn’t know what was happening, he just felt that his dad was different today.
He was too serious, and Dion was too scared to talk to him.
He rested obediently in his mother’s arms.
Seraphina looked at Lysander’s tense profile and realized something.
“Did something happen?”
Lysander didn’t say anything.
Timothy explained for him in a low voice, “The old patriarch is critically ill.”
A flicker of surprise crossed Seraphina’s face.
No matter how Martin had treated her in the past, Lysander had grown up by the old patriarch’s side. They were very close.
Thinking about her current status, it seemed she had no place
to go.

Supt… appropriate for me to go?”
She said with hesitation, “Why don’t you just take Dion?
I can wait for you guys nearby.”
Lysander turned his head, his gaze deep. “It’s appropriate.”
The mansion was bustling.
It hadn’t been this crowded with people in over thirty years.
Godfrey’s two illegitimate children were both there.
One was named Georgina, the other Aiden Cole.
A boy and a girl.
Godfrey had finally gotten both a son and a daughter, thanks to
the mistress.
Eleanor was there too.
Sol had gone to pick her up personally.
Seraphina walked a few quick steps to her. “Mom, you’re here
too.”

he.”
She pulled Dion into her arms. “Dion, Dad has a lot to deal with
today, so stay with Grandma, okay?”
“Okay.”
Dion was very obedient.
Lysander strode towards the main hall.
Godfrey raised a hand to stop him. “You should just wait outside. Your grandfather… it’s not convenient for him to see anyone right now.”
“Isn’t he hanging on just to wait for me?”
Lysander pushed Godfrey aside, but before he could take two
steps, Georgina blocked him again. “Lysander, even though
you’re the legitimate heir, what Grandpa has belongs to
everyone. You can’t take it all for yourself.”
Lysander was already furious.
Georgina was just asking for it.
Lysander kicked out, sending Georgina flying three meters
away.
Renewal
Supt your place to speak in this family?
Get lost.”
Georgina couldn’t catch his breath and almost died.
Aiden quickly went to help her brother up. “Brother, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Lysander walked into the old patriarch’s room and shut the door heavily behind him.
The last time he came to see the old patriarch, Martin had already told him some things.
Sol then took out a small wooden box and handed it to
Lysander.
“This was the old patriarch’s decision, made when he was still
lucid. All the shares and all the family’s assets have been allocated. He specifically instructed that these things be given
to you, for you to announce.”
Lysander didn’t take it.
