“This girl... She is stubborn like her mother! Hmm... Jasmine hasn't found Xenia yet? That Xara's personal servant? Try to persuade him to persuade Queta. Also, no one should know about Queta being here, not even Jasmine! If word gets out, I will definitely make each of you suffer a slow death! Now go!”
Hearing that, the doctors trembled in fear before leaving quickly.
As soon as they left, Bryson slowly stood up with a stick in his hand before staring blankly at the wall.
While many things were on his mind, his most prominent memory was the moment he cut off the relationship openly with his beloved daughter, Xara.
He had expelled her from the Fenderson family, and although she was very strict in terms of enforcing family rules, she immediately regretted her actions once she left.
He had tried every means to find Xara. It was not a requirement for him to return to his side, but he simply wanted to know if his precious daughter was still alive, and if she was, he also wanted to know how well he was living alone.
That was enough to satisfy him.
However, even after so many years had passed, he had not heard any news of Xara at all.
As a man who constantly takes good care of his body, Bryson—who will be eighty in three days—should theoretically maintain a younger appearance. However, instead of that, he looked older than ordinary people of the same age who still had to work hard every day!
Bryson only admitted that this was his punishment.
While he initially thought that he would never be able to see her again, even on his deathbed, it seemed that divine justice did exist. It all starts when Noah calls her out of the blue, reporting that he has found someone who is exactly like Xara.
As the Fenderson family was quite capable, upon receiving the news, the whereabouts of Xara and even her daughter were immediately known.
“...I know you hate me, Xara.. But three more days my birthday... I really hope you will come back to see me..” Bryson murmured to himself as he felt tears welling up in his eyes.
…
Inside, a girl was sitting on the bed, crying.
The moment the servant saw him, his body began to tremble and finally, the box he was holding fell to the ground.
“B-how can the two of you look so similar?!” the waiter shouted excitedly.
"You look exactly like the oldest woman back then!" added the waiter as he reminisced about the times he was still on the side of the oldest woman many years ago.
Of course, the crying girl was none other than Queta.
After seeing the waiter himself now crying, Queta asked in a soft and gentle voice, “...Um...You..?”.
“Nona Queta, my name is Xenia! I used to be the oldest female personal servant, Miss Xara! ” Xenia replied while crying.
“.... H-yes? Xara Fenderson... She's my mom?” queta replied as she grew even more excited after hearing Xenia's words.
Xenia then nodded while saying on the sidelines of her cries, “Nona Queta, you are exactly like her! And yes, he!"
“A-where is she now, Aunt Xenia?” queta asked, now crying louder than ever.
“Don't worry, Miss Queta! While there are many things to discuss and it took me a long time to explain all the complicated things that have happened, you can be sure that your mom is constantly thinking about you. Long story short, your grandfather still doesn't know where he is. Once the opportunity arises, I will help you leave this place so that you can meet your mother again!” xenia replied as she fondly stroked Queta's hair, a depressed expression on her face.
“Why don't you let me in? Get out of the way now!” a voice shouted from behind the door at that moment.
