Shen Yan sat on the edge of the bed as if he had expected Emily to come. He tucked Old Madam Shen in and gestured for Emily to come in.

“I know you’re smart enough to ask me a question, so I pretended to be asleep so that we could have some time to talk,” Shen Yan said and coughed twice.

Emily quickly passed the water by the bed to Shen Yan and patted Shen Yan’s back to help him catch his breath. “Grandpa, take it easy. Why don’t you take a rest first? I’ll talk to you later.”

“No need. I’m old and my body is no longer functional. I’ll take it easy. I know you must have a lot of questions. I should take a good rest after I answer them. I’ll leave it to you young people to show off.” Shen Yan waved his hand. However, his gaze seemed to be able to see through Emily.

“Grandfather?”

“Do you think that because I’m old and my eyes are blurry, I can’t see clearly? Did that kid, Xiao Yu, contact you before?” Shen Yan leaned against the bed and his confident tone gave Emily a fright.

“Grandpa, how did you know?” Emily was shocked. Could it be that their acting skills were so bad? Shen Yan could tell at a glance?

“Xiao Nan is fine. The biggest flaw is in you. It’s not that I don’t know about your feelings for Xiao Yu. When you were young, the two of you were inseparable. When Xiao Yu was away, you were even more reticent.”

“Although you usually don’t take the initiative to ask about Xiao Yu and don’t contact Xiao Yu, I know that you’re afraid that Xiao Yu will be influenced by you. You’re constantly hoping that Xiao Yu will come back soon. However, when you found out about Xiao Yu’s accident, you were surprisingly calm. What does this mean?”

When Shen Yan said this, he looked at Emily with his deep eyes. Especially when he saw the stunned expression on Emily’s face, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Shen Yu should have already contacted Emily and Shen Nan a long time ago.

It was just that something had happened at home, so no one noticed that Shen Nan and Emily were acting strangely. However, who was Shen Yan? He knew the temperament of his family members. As long as anyone touched them, he would know what they were going to do. Emily’s clumsy cover-up was really too low-class.

Emily smiled. “Grandpa even said that he’s old. That look in his eyes is still the same as before. Nothing can be hidden from you.”

“I’m old, and my body is no longer of any use. Grandpa only wants one word from you. Is Xiao Yu okay?” Shen Yan could not help but be a little anxious. He did not want anything now. All he wanted was for Shen Yu and Shen Zhe to be safe and sound. This way, he would have the face to meet fourth’s family.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry. We didn’t mean to hide it from you. I believe that Brother must have his own considerations. When Brother and the two of us separated this morning, he was fine. You don’t have to worry.”

Seeing that Shen Yan was anxious, Emily hurriedly apologized. In the end, it was them, the younger generation, who made the two old people worry. It was even more wrong for them to be worried to the point that they were sick and bedridden. Shen Yan and Old Madam Shen were both very worried.

“It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine.” Only then did Shen Yan let out a sigh of relief. It was better than anything else as long as he heard that Shen Yu was fine.

“It’s all my fault. When I’m old, I’ll know about the prosperity of the family and the mission of the family. As long as people are alive, it’s good. It’s all my fault for harming them and Fourth Brother’s family.”

Shen Yan suddenly burst into tears, giving Emily a fright. Emily hurriedly comforted Shen Yan. “Grandpa, don’t say that. You’re doing this for the good of the Shen family.”

“No, Millie, you don’t understand. Grandpa knows what you want to ask. This is all Grandpa’s fault. If Grandpa hadn’t been so stubborn back then, nothing would have happened to Fourth’s family. Xiao Yu wouldn’t have lost his parents at such a young age, and Shen Zhe wouldn’t have chosen to join the army. This is all my fault. If I hadn’t been so stubborn back then, none of this would have happened.”

“Grandpa, it’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Brother has never blamed you. Wasn’t it his own choice for Brother to go abroad? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Listen to what Grandpa has to say. I’m afraid that if I don’t say it now, I won’t have a chance.” Shen Yan patted Emily’s hand and sank deep into his memories.

When Shen Yu was four years old, he had already displayed astonishing talent. At that time, Shen Yan, who only wanted to strengthen the Shen family, felt as if he had obtained a treasure, so he directly announced to the public that Shen Yu would be the successor of the Shen family. But he did not think that it was because of this sentence that brought death to Shen Yu and Shen Zhe’s family.

Shen Yu, who was only five years old, had already finished his high school course. The moment he left the school gate, he was suddenly kidnapped. Shen Yu’s parents, who had gone to pick him up, chased after him without caring about anything else. In the process of chasing after the kidnappers, Shen Yu’s parents were killed in a car accident, and Shen Yu saw it with his own eyes.

No matter how hard Shen Yu struggled, he was still taken away by the kidnappers. By the time Shen Yan brought Shen Yu back, Shen Yu had been tortured to the point where he was only skin and bones.. Shen Yu had not said a word since then.
