Chapter 595\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorothy\u2019s expression darkened, and her tone sharpened. \u201cAnd what about you? If you drive her to death, will you finally be satisfied?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
*Drive her to death?* Caleb froze. \u201cHow could I ever think that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never wanted to push her that far. He would have treated her well. He wanted only one more chance between them. Even if she had asked for the moon, he would have tried to reach it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what have you been thinking?\u201d Dorothy stared at him, disappointment and anger plain in her eyes. \u201cIf your grandfather were still alive, his cane would already be coming down on you. If you truly cannot figure it out, go kneel in the family hall. Stay there until you do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the years, compared to Lucas, the eldest grandson who had already passed away, she had always favored Caleb. She never imagined that someone so clear-headed could be this stubborn in matters of the heart, refusing to turn back until he reached a dead end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she had never known Sydney, she might have turned a blind eye and indulged him. But she did know Sydney. She knew how generous and proper that girl was. She had watched with her own eyes as Caleb\u2019s marriage to Sydney unraveled step by step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was not Sydney\u2019s fault. If anything, the Hampton family owed her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could she possibly stand by and do nothing?\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time she could remember truly losing her temper with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caleb stood there in a daze, almost unable to react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dorothy did not wait for him to move. She called sharply toward the house. \u201cGeorge, take Cal to the family hall. Watch him personally.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caleb did not resist. He only cast a glance toward the front courtyard. \u201cAbout my mother going to the Huttons to\u00a0<\/p>\n
propose\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry.\u201d Dorothy took a sip of hot tea, her voice firm. \u201cUnless you agree, no one is stepping through our\u00a0<\/p>\n
doors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as moral principles were not violated, she wanted nothing more than for her grandson to spend his life with someone who truly understood warmth and care.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he had insisted on marrying Sydney despite the disparity in their family backgrounds, she had agreed without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was simply unfortunate that this wretched boy had not been blessed with such fortune.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since childhood, Caleb had always been closer to his grandmother than Adeline. When he returned and went straight to Dorothy instead of seeking out his mother, Adeline found nothing unusual.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She waited in the front courtyard for a while. When he still did not appear, she left on her own for the gala that evening. Nothing mattered more than finalizing the engagement with the Huttons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Julian returned to the hospital from Hampton Corp. He wore a black cashmere coat, his stride brisk. His sharp brows and cold gaze gave him an oppressive presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He entered the ward and paused when he saw only Alan and Marcus inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marcus spoke first. \u201cMr. Sterling, are you looking for Syd?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Julian wasted no words. He took the antidote from Elliot and handed it over. \u201cConfirm whether this is the antidote.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe antidote?\u201d Marcus\u2019 eyes lit up as he accepted it. \u201cWhere did this come from? Is it reliable?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEighty to ninety percent,\u201d Julian replied evenly. \u201cConfirm it first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alan visibly relaxed. He understood Julian\u2019s way of doing things. An 80% certainty from him was more reliable than most people\u2019s absolute confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then Alan frowned again, his voice grave. \u201cLogically, there should only be one antidote.\u201d If this is the antidote, then the one Sydney went to get\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The more he spoke, the heavier the implication became.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s expression hardened. \u201cWho did she go to for the antidote?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marcus answered at once, \u201cCaleb.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Sydney had answered the call, Marcus had been right beside her. He had clearly heard Caleb\u2019s voice on the other end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s eyes turned ice-cold. \u201cCaleb? When did he call?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout half an hour ago. She left right after the call.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Marcus finished speaking, Elliot checked his watch and looked up at Julian. \u201cMr. Sterling, we also left Hampton Corp. half an hour ago.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A chain-reaction traffic accident on the way had caused a delay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian narrowed his dark eyes, his killing intent plain. \u201cCheck Caleb\u2019s movements immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took out his phone and dialed a number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
