Chapter 350 Herschel looked atwith those gentle, fatherly eyes - the kind that said, "In my heart, you'll always be my little girl. But I've got to tell you, being a stickler might work at your job, but it's not doing you any favors in your personal life." I knew why he was saying this. Everyone has their own principles and personality, and old habits die hard. "Felicia, sometimes it's better to be a little clueless. It can make life happier, especially outside of work. Not everything needs to be crystal clear, you know?" He advised me, sounding every bit the concerned dad.

Seeing his worrisgaze, thinking of his illness, I still had my own persistence, but I nodded in agreement anyway.

"Felicia," Herschel called out to me.

"Yeah?" He shook his head gently, "It's nothing." "No, you definitely have something on your mind," I could tell he was holding back.

Herschel chuckled, "You can't be fooled, can you?" "Why would you hide anything from me? If you've got ssecret you can't share with Jacqueline and Dustin, you can tell me. I promise it'll be our secret," I said, raising my hand as if taking an oath.

Herschel couldn't help but laugh, "I don't have any secrets." Thinking back to earlier in the backyard, where Lord's mistress and daughter were, I teased, "Like maybe you've got a secret family out there, a mistress and a child." "Cough," Herschel choked on his words, "What are you talking about? That's not true." "Really?" I tilted my head, pretending to scrutinize him.

"Really," Herschel shook his head.

"But your friend does. You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together, so...' || My words caught Herschel off guard; he seemed surprised I knew about Lord's situation.

I didn't hide it from him. "I was just playing with his daughter in the yard earlier. She's really cute." Herschel sighed, "People are different. I might be close to him, but that doesn't mean I approve of or would emulate everything he does." Hearing his earnest response madesmile, "Look at you, getting alt serious was just kidding. I know you and Jacqueline have a good relationship; you wouldn't do anything to hurt her." Herschel looked up, gazing at the white wall, "Felicia, I want to tell you something. My illness this time... it's serious, might not be something minor f... I mean if... something Jf...

were to happen to me, promiseyou won't cry. Just being a good girl is enough." Suddenly, a wave of sorrow overcme, my eyes welled up and my throat tightened. I grabbed his arm, "You're not going to it's not going to happen..." Herschel stroked my head, no more words needed to be exchanged.

I just lay there, by his bedside.

Eventually, I fell asleep. When I woke up, Herschel's jacket was draped over me, and he was asleep too.

I gently took the jacket off and covered him with it, leaving quietly without disturbing him. My phone rang from my pocket, a number I didn't recognize.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Are you the owner of Apartment 402, Unit 2, Building 6, Spring Fountain e Complex "Yes, that's me. May I ask who's calling?" Ashburn X
