He knew he was at fault for the way he and Jessica had been looking at each other.

But part of the problem was also that Jessica didn't want to see him spending time with Sheila.

Timothy hesitated for a moment before finally answering the call.

Some things needed to be said clearly to Sheila, once and for all.

"Timothy, I just heard Sallie on the phone, something about going back home for Henry's testing—what happened to Henry? I'm really worried."

His father had told him to call Sallie, but he hadn't gotten around to it yet.

But now Sheila already knew-clearly, the family had called Sallie before he had.

"From now on, I don't want you involved in Henry's affairs," Timothy said, his tone cold and measured.

Sheila felt an ache in her chest, tight and suffocating.

"So I can't even care about Henry anymore? He and I have always been close. Hearing you say that-it really hurts."

Timothy let out a heavy sigh. All these years, he'd carried a sense of guilt towards Sheila. He was always trying to make it up to her.
