After hanging up on the call, Sophia turned to Woody and asked, “Dad, are you hungry? Do you want to grab a bite at the cafeteria? The meals prepared by the cafeteria of our university are delicious!”

“Alright, let’s go,” Woody replied with a trembling body.

While she assisted him on the way to the nearest cafeteria, he was rather chatty and didn’t stop talking. As he suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, his consciousness and logic were completely messed up and he never got to any point of his topic.

He had gripped Nathan once and asked, “Nate, are you studying the same major as Uncle Cooper? He has double doctorate degrees in economics and law. You should learn from him!”

Then, he would turn and speak to her again. “Son, I know you still hate me over what happened with the girl, but I had no other choice. How could I bear to see you heartbroken? However, besides being my son, you’re the future family head for the Mitchell Family and you need to lead by example for the whole family!”

“Yes, of course,” she replied and nodded.

So, Woody and Cooper are not on the best of terms.

With a sigh, he said in a hushed voice, “Let me tell you a secret. Back then, I know I told you that I killed that girl, but she’s actually still alive!”

Huh?

Sophia pricked her ears and subconsciously asked, “She didn’t die?”

 

Woody whispered, “Back then, I found her and wanted her to leave your side. I know that you fancied her, so how could I bring myself to kill her, knowing that she’s the girl whom you love? So, I paid her off and asked her to leave! Don’t blame me, Cooper.
