Chapter 1057 Alice

Ashlyn then turned to Angus and said, “What are you waiting for? Call the nurse.” Only then did Angus pull himself

together and hurriedly called for the nurse to come and change the bed sheets. Nelson let out a long sigh, and

Trevor immediately poured the former a cup of warm water.

“Grandpa, you can rinse your mouth with some water,” he said. After vomiting so much blood, Trevor figured there

must be a strong metallic taste lingering in Nelson's mouth. Nelson nodded weakly and proceeded to rinse his

mouth with the water from the cup. He immediately laid back down after that. The nurse arrived quickly, and she

efficiently began changing the bed sheets. In no time at all, everything was replaced. Almost everyone stared at

Nelson in disbelief. Finnick quickly walked to the bedside and bent over.

“Dad, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Nelson opened his cloudy, blurred eyes. It seemed as though he couldn't hear Finnick's voice. The former's gaze fell

upon Ashlyn, and through his hazy vision, he saw a familiar face. Unable to contain himself, he called out softly,

“Alice... is that you?” Everyone was stunned when he uttered those words. “Who is Old Mr. Oates calling? Who is

Alice?” “Don't you know? I heard that when Old Mr. Oates was young, he used to teach in Lake City and had a

brilliant female student. She was incredibly talented. Later, Old Mr. Oates returned to the capital and invited the girl

to go with him, but she refused.”

“Really? How much of a genius must she be to impress Old Mr. Oates like that?” All the members of the Oates

family were stunned when they heard Nelson's voice and their faces displayed a plethora of emotions. Right after,

Nelson started murmuring again. “It's been so many years... Where have you been? You heartless girl... Ah, time

has flown by so quickly, and I've grown old...”

Nelson's eyes reddened, and he was on the verge of tears. He reached out his hand toward Ashlyn and said, “How

can you still be so heartless? Won't you come to me when you see me?” Ashlyn hesitated for a moment before

walking toward Nelson. She lowered her gaze to the elderly man before her, then stepped forward. She extended

her almost translucent porcelain-white hand and grasped Nelson's icy hand. “My mother's name is Alice. Is she the

one you're talking about?”

“Mother...” Nelson was taken aback. He widened his eyes and stared intently at Ashlyn's face.

“Alice is your mother? You're not Alice? Then who are you...”

“I am her daughter.” Ashlyn sat by the sickbed, warming Nelson's hand with the heat of her palm.

“Is it true, like they said, that you were once my mother's teacher?”

“Where is Alice? Is she doing well now?” Nelson carefully examined Ashlyn.

“Your eyebrows and eyes are very similar, and so is your nose, but your mouth is slightly different. It must have

resembled your father...” Ashlyn silently looked at Nelson for a while, unable to describe the feelings in her heart. It

was a difficult and uneasy situation, but she still didn't want to deceive Nelson, who, in his twilight years, still cared

for her mother. She opened her mouth and finally spoke.

“My mother passed away many years ago.”

“What... No, Alice is so outstanding. How could she possibly have passed away? She's still so young! Chloe and

Madison are both alive and well. How could she have died?” Nelson was extremely agitated and began to cough

violently again.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Blood trickled down from the corner of his lips. Ashlyn immediately raised her hand to pat his back.

“Old Mr. Oates, you mustn't get agitated. My mother was destined for a short life. There was no way to prevent it.”

“I can't believe it! I can't believe it! She deserves a much more brilliant life. She should shine brightly, winning all

kinds of awards at home and abroad. That's the life she's meant to live! How could she have passed away...”

Nelson's eyes welled up with tears. A teardrop slid down his cheek. He slowly closed his eyes. “Alice is truly

exceptional. She's a genius. No matter what task comes her way, it becomes incredibly simple and easy for her. No

one can ever compare to her... Alice...”
