Chapter 675 It Will Be Over Soon

He looked every bit the illegitimate son who had finally won his biological fatherโ€™s approval, utterly humbled.

Malcom enjoyed seeing Tobias submit to him. It was a deep-seated instinct, which meant Malcom could use Tobias as his most useful and loyal pawn who would never betray him.

Malcom hugged Tobias and gently patted his back. โ€œGood boy, everything will be over soon.โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆโ€

Tobias leaned against Malcomโ€™s shoulder, hiding the deadly glint in his eyes.

Yes, it will be over soon.

But this is only the first step of my plan.

The moment I return to the Lowells as Malcomโ€™s sonโ€ฆ

The real plan will have just begun.


The next day.

At Jenson Villa.

During lunch, Russellโ€™s phone rang.

His expression changed instantly.

He got up from the dinner table and went into the living room.

Blair and the others noticed but didnโ€™t ask.

Only Kyla kept her head down and continued eating, lost in thought.

When Russell came back, he sighed.

โ€œHoney, did something happen at the company?โ€ Blair guessed right away.

Russell said with regret, โ€œSorry, Honey. Something urgent came up at the company. I need to go back and handle it, or my employees wonโ€™t be able to. Iโ€™m afraid weโ€™ll have to postpone our trip to Grace Church today.โ€

Blair gave him an understanding smile. โ€œItโ€™s okay. Go take care of the company; thatโ€™s more important. Wade, you should go help your dad, too. Justin, Kayden, and Kyla can accompany me.โ€

โ€œHoneyโ€ฆโ€

โ€œCome on, itโ€™s not your fault. This is unexpected; no one could have known. Iโ€™m just happy you wanted to be here with me. Andโ€ฆ you have to trust your children. With them by my side, what could happen to me? Donโ€™t worry.โ€

Blair held Russellโ€™s hand and gave him a sweet smile.

Ever since her rehab started working and she could feel her right leg again, she had a checkup at the hospital. The doctor praised her progress, calling it a miracle and saying she wouldnโ€™t need years to recover, but could be back on her feet in just six months with consistent training.

Blair felt her confidence grow, especially watching Kyla move past the accident. It helped her rebuild the spirit Tilda had brokenโ€”that feeling of being a useless burden to the Jensons. Now, she was back, and more alive than ever!

Having decided to keep living, she wouldnโ€™t let everyoneโ€™s care go to waste. Blair would use all of that as motivation to recover as soon as possible and become a normal person again!

โ€œOkayโ€ฆ Justin, Kayden, andโ€ฆ Kyla, Iโ€™m counting on you to take care of your mom.โ€

Justin nodded firmly. โ€œDonโ€™t worry, Dad. Weโ€™ll take good care of Mom.โ€

After lunch, the Jensons split into two groups.

Justin, Kayden, and Kyla accompanied Blair to Grace Church as planned to pray.

Russell and Wade headed to Jenson Group to handle an urgent matter.


Grace Church was located on the outskirts of Slosa. Its reputation was similar to that of Serenity Abbey, and it wasnโ€™t far away.

The Jensons often chose Grace Church simply because its name was easy to remember and they felt a good connection with it.

It wasnโ€™t that they thought there was any real difference between the churches.

As Blair and the others drove toward Grace Church in their Mercedes G-Class, a BMW X7 quietly followed them.

Behind the wheel, Tildaโ€™s eyes remained calm and unreadable as always, showing no hint of emotion.

This continued until both cars had left the highway and entered the outskirts.

At a fork in the road, the Jensonsโ€˜ car went to Grace Church. Tildaโ€™s car went to Serenity Abbey.

It was like a fork in the road of fate.

When the two cars passed a certain point and then went to different places, their destinies had already been set.


At Grace Church.

Blair and the others prayed devoutly.

They lit candles, made their wishes, and donated some money.

Blair suddenly felt the need to use the restroom, so she decided to go.

Next to the church was a place called Azure Peak, and the restroom was built there.

Since it was a womenโ€™s restroom, only Kyla could wheel Blairโ€™s wheelchair inside.

Justin and Kayden waited outside.

As Kyla helped Blair into the restroom, Blair looked at her with a guilty expression. โ€œIโ€™m sorry, Kyla. Iโ€™m so useless, and I have to make you do thisโ€ฆ Itโ€™s so embarrassing.โ€

Kyla was now Blairโ€™s only daughter.

After everything that had happened, Blair didnโ€™t dare to hope that Tilda still cared about their family.

She was even more afraid of Tildaโ€™s humiliation. Even if she held back, it was clearโ€”this was on her, for bothering Tilda, and she had to take it.
