�Great-grandpa, I can tell you�re a good person. Thank you for looking after my mother.�

When Abby saw this, she went up to her brother and happily told him, �Adie, you finally agree with me that people who look good are good. We should assess people based on their looks!�

She then turned around and smiled charmingly as she grasped Timothy�s other hand in her soft, delicate palm. �My name is Abby, Great-grandpa. You�re the sweetest old man I�ve ever met. You must have been attractive when you were younger, so I�m certain you�re a decent guy!�

Timothy was taken aback by the two youngsters, and he burst into joyful laughter. He clutched the children�s hands firmly and smiled heartily, tears streaming down his cheeks. �You two are my great-grandchildren, and the Hunt family�s heirs. I never imagined this day would arrive.�

He looked up at the sky, and smiled fondly. �Are you seeing this, Maurice? They are Stefan and Renee�s children. The Hunt and Evertheart families will go on. I can finally face you in the afterlife!�

When Alexander heard this, he grimaced, his eyes wet with unshed tears. �What are you talking about, Dad? We just got reunited with the kids. We should be grateful for this opportunity, so don�t say anything negative. You�re going to live a long life.�

Francine�s eyes welled up with tears as well. �That�s right. You�re still alive and well. You�ve recently reconnected with the children, and you must remain with them until they reach adulthood. You have to see the birth of their grandkids!�

�I know my health best,� Timothy declared, waving his hand and taking a deep breath with difficulty.

�I�m already glad you attempted to find me an ideal heart that would allow me to live my life. God has been kind to me in allowing me to live till I see my great-grandchildren. I have no regrets if I die today!�

When Adie overheard this, he couldn�t help but be concerned about Timothy.

�Great-grandfather, are you sick?�

�Yes. I�m becoming old, and my body is weakening� But don�t worry,� Timothy remarked as he stroked Adie on the head. �It�s completely natural. Humans will age, and death is both the end and the beginning of life. I feel we will cross paths again for sure.�

Francine frowned and sighed. �Dad, that�s too deep. The kids won�t understand.�

�No. I see what you�re saying.� Adie�s lovely face was serious as he nodded.

�Great-grandpa is saying that his life will never end. He will reappear in our lives in a different form.�

�Oh, I understand now!� Abby murmured excitedly, blinking her wide eyes. �One day, Great-grandpa will transform into a star and guard us at night. Or maybe he�ll transform into a tree and protect us from the wind and rain, or transform into a cat and keep us company.�

�Yes. That�s exactly what I mean.� As Timothy listened to them, tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt a surge of pride. �It�s no surprise you�re Ren�s children. You�re both very intelligent, and your thinking is very mature. Your emotions are also stronger than your father. It�s the Hunt family�s good fortune to have gotten such good genes from the Everheart family.�

Alexander was astounded by his grandchildren�s intelligence, but he wasn�t about to give in as he protested feebly, �Dad, Stefan�s genes aren�t bad either. If the children supposedly inherited their mother�s emotional intelligence, they must have inherited their father�s intelligence as well.�

�Nonsense!� Timothy rolled his eyes at Alexander. �Did you know Ren is a top student? She skipped grades and pursued her master�s and doctoral degrees in the most difficult subject, physics. Stefan cannot compete with her � he�s only good at business.�

Renee had wheeled Stefan into the living room just as Timothy was criticizing him, and Stefan instantly scowled. JrNovels.com
