Jay was staring at Rose blankly. She had suddenly become obedient and pleasant. This call of 'darling' had ironed all the uncomfortable feelings in his heart and made him docile.

"Third Uncle is still a patient, so let him be." A soft smile overflowed from Rose's dark glazed eyes, laced with a bit of coquetry.

She had not looked at him with such innocence and admiration for many years.

For an instant, Jay felt like he had gone many years back when he and Angeline shared a peaceful time.

It was before none of the disasters had happened.

Jay's iron-clad heart began to melt, and when he spoke again, the aggressiveness in his voice vanished in thin air.

"James, for the sake of my wife's pleading, I won't argue with you anymore."

Grand Old Master Ares and James were stunned.

They did not expect the solution that they wracked their heads for to be resolved by Rose simply calling out 'darling'.

James shut his eyes speechlessly and did not bother to look at Jay again.

With the uncle and nephew conflict resolved for now, Jay expressed slightly his concern for his uncle. "Do tell. Why did you jump off the building?"

James was silent and speechless.

In the past few months, his mental journey, simply put, was penned with hot and bitter tears.

Jay wanted to rub salt on his wound and said deliberately, "I heard that you bought an apartment outside with the tens of billions of funds I gave you and even brought all the women and children into the apartment."

A painful expression appeared on James' face.

That was his worst decision.

All the women who lived in the apartment were either jealous of one another or wracking their brains to swindle his money.

Jay smiled evilly, saying, "Third Uncle, you have the joy of having several partners. How envious!"

Rose pinched his waist secretly and gave him a fierce but cute warning expression.

Jay was slightly startled. He realized that she was jealous, and a happy flower bloomed in his heart.

Turning back, he continued to say, "I don't understand. Here you are lying in this ward, but why don't I see those women bringing the children to visit you?"

James looked lonely and kept silent.

Jay teased him, saying, "Don't be sad. When we announce that you'll be returning to the Ares family, even if you're fully paralyzed, your women will come back to you." James rolled his eyes at Jay angrily.

At this time, Grand Old Master Ares intervened and said, "James, Jay just wants you to see the true colors of those mistresses. Since ancient times, true sentiments are always revealed in hard times. The people who stay with you when you're in dire straits are the ones who treat you sincerely. You should appreciate them."

At this moment, Third Aunt pushed the door and came in.

Grand Old Master Ares, Jay, and Rose went outside tacitly. They wanted James and Third Aunt to get on alone so that they could bury the hatchet.

Third Aunt saw James' chapped lips and brought him a cup of warm water. She then sat down by the bed and used a small spoon to feed the water to James.

"We're already divorced. Why are you here?" James' attitude toward Third Aunt was very indifferent.

Third Aunt smiled bitterly, saying, "Old Master, we've been husband and wife for 25 years. I know you hated me for 25 years. I came today not because I stubbornly want to get back with you. I just wanted to tell you that I've found the woman you like. Her life isn't very good right now, but if you want to marry her, I give you my blessings."

James gave a cold snort. "If you were this generous 25 years ago, then her life wouldn't be so miserable now. Back then, you took advantage of your status as the daughter of a rich family to frame her and bully her behind my back. I mistakenly believed in you and let her go astray... Go, I don't want to see you." Third Aunt left with teary eyes.
