Chapter 1454 - Chapter 1454 Chapter 1454 He Just Cant Accept It
Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: He Just Can’t Accept It Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: He Just Can’t Accept It Jacob Powell and Robert Powell were just about to leave when they heard a servant’s cry from behind: “Miss Powell!”
Upon turning around, they saw Quinn Powell falling weakly. Fortunately, the servant caught her in time. Jacob panicked, rushed over, and held Quinn in his arms, his voice pure shock, “Quinn!”
Quinn leaned weakly against him, her face deathly pale, and her lips colorless, as if she would die in the next second.
The sudden change alarmed everyone. Jacob couldn’t care less about Xaviera Evans at that moment and hastened to call for a doctor.
Robert, full of thoughts for his own daughter, was about to go meet her, but he noticed Quinn grabbing his sleeve. Eyes shut tight, cold sweat seeping from her forehead, she kept calling for her father and brother. She clung desperately to Robert’s sleeve, her slender fingers unnervingly pale.
Robert frowned, trying to disengage Quinn’s hand, but afraid of hurting her. The atmosphere became awkward.
Soon, the family doctor hurriedly arrived with a first aid kit, but Quinn still refused to let go of Jacob and Robert’s clothes.
The butler whispered from the side, “Mister, Mr. Mamet, well… Miss Xaviera is still waiting at the door.”
Robert snapped to attention. This was Xaviera’s first visit, and he knew he should go out to meet her. If he didn’t show this much sincerity, Xaviera might be unhappy.
But Quinn…
Robert tugged at his sleeve, but Quinn’s fingers still clung on tightly. This daughter of his was already born sick, so he couldn’t force her. Helpless, he instructed the butler: “Go and meet Xaviera for me. She’s so understanding, she’ll know why I couldn’t make it.”
“This…” The butler looked troubled. How could a butler possibly stand in for his employer? Xaviera agreed to stay with them to meet her biological father and brother. If they didn’t greet her on her first visit, wouldn’t that imply they didn’t take her seriously? What would others think of Miss Xaviera when they heard?
Mr. Powell had chosen to attend to his foster daughter rather than greet his own biological child, sending a clear message he didn’t care about her. By doing this, Miss Xaviera wouldn’t be favored, and the Powell family wouldn’t value her even as much as their own foster child. Who would respect Miss Xaviera in the future?
It had been so many years, but Mr. Powell still didn’t understand the underlying principles. Miss Nina Hughes had also left heartbroken after repeated incidents like this!
Dr. Blue and the butler exchanged glances, both feeling helpless.
Mr. Powell seemed to adore Xaviera, but in reality, his attachment to his own daughter wasn’t as deep. After all, she’d been away for twenty years. He simply couldn’t accept it, believing he could have a well-behaved, adorable daughter and be a good father, but reality didn’t align with his thoughts.
With a sigh, the butler reluctantly went to greet Xaviera at the door.
Dr. Blue used a stethoscope to examine Quinn, then replied, “Miss Powell’s body… there’s nothing wrong.”
Jacob’s brow furrowed, “If there’s nothing wrong, why did she faint all of a sudden?”
Dr. Blue: “…”
He looked helplessly at the Powell father and son duo. Did he really need to spell it out for them? Anyone else would have seen the issue immediately, yet the two of them refused to think in that direction.
