StarNovelChapter 807:
He wanted to tell her that none of them wanted him there at all. But when he met her eyes, saw the sincerity in
them, the words faltered and died.
“Nothing. Just tired,” he muttered, his tone losing its edge. “I need srest.”
With that, he turned and disappeared down the hallway before Melinda could say another word.

Kristian froze.

He looked at the old man in front of him—his grey beard, the years heavy on his shoulders—and something
unspoken stirred in his chest. In his mind, Lionel was supposed to be stubborn beyond reason. So why had he
