Chapter 240 (Part Two)

Unable to see the expression on Fannie's face, Melissa only knew that she was staring at them and her
figure was very dim. But the more she looked like this, the more nervous she was, and the more
confused she was about Fannie's thoughts. Just like there was a trap in front of her, you had to go
through it even though you knew it was a trap, and then you fell down without knowing when you took a
wrong step.

It was not until she walked up the short stairs with Colin to the corridor outside the ward that she
withdrew her gaze. At this time, Melissa heard a faint sigh from Fannie. Mixed with the night, the sigh
was filled with inexplicably sad and helpless.

She followed Colin and took a turn along the corridor to the door of the ward. Larry Liu went to report
and said to the people inside, "Boss, Colin is here, but……" Larry Liu looked back at Melissa and said
in a low voice, "But Melissa is also here. Do you want to see, boss?"

The people inside were silent. All of a sudden, the atmosphere was depressing. Although she didn't
see Colin's father, and there was even a wall between them, Melissa felt that the atmosphere was
depressing. There was an invisible hand pressing her heart.

Melissa felt that Colin's hand holding her hand tightened. When she raised her head, she saw that
Colin lowered his head and gave her a comforting look. Then he continued to look straight ahead, calm
and composed. She sighed in her heart and suppressed the restlessness. All in all, she would be fine
as long as she was with him. No matter what kind of person she was facing, no matter what pressure
she was facing, or even what was about to happen, she didn't need to be afraid. So she stopped
thinking too much.

After a long time, an old voice finally came from inside, "Let them in!" Although his voice was very calm,
it was very intimidating. It was like a king who was still very dignified when he gave orders, making
people dare not resist.



Melissa's heart skipped a beat. For this invisible dignity, you could imagine what kind of old man he
was.

Larry Liu made a gesture of "please", and then Colin held her hand and walked into the ward under the
guidance of Larry Liu.

After entering the room, she felt very comfortable. Although there was no air conditioner in the room,
the temperature was just right, neither cold nor hot. It was surprisingly gentle. She didn't know how the
room was designed, but it could automatically control the temperature to this extent. It could be seen
that the quality of the ward was good.

Melissa saw that the room was very spacious, and there were also some equipment in it. It seemed
that Colin's father still relied on those equipment to live, so the machine was still on. Although the
sound of "beep" from an unknown electronic was very light, it was still clear. Because the room was too
quiet. It could be seen how weird the atmosphere in the room was.

Gilbert lied on the bed, motionless. Only his opened eyes meant that he was still alive. Melissa couldn't
help but look at him up and down. He was an old man who had been famous in the entertainment circle
for half a century. His age was beyond her imagination, completely different from the person she had
imagined who could control the entertainment circle.

Although Gilbert was Colin's father, he didn't have Colin until he was nearly 60 years old, so he was
now 90 years old. His hair was completely grey, his skin was relaxed, and his face was full of wrinkles.
No matter how good the skin care products were, they couldn't keep his lost youth. He was totally
different from those beautiful women and noble and fashionable children outside the bamboo forest. He
was an old man who had been through many vicissitudes of life. He lay quietly on the bed, not as
domineering as he used to be. Instead, he was just a walking dead, waiting for the arrival of death. If no
one knew that he was Gilbert in advance, no one would believe that he was Gilbert. They would never



imagine his glory in the past. He had influenced a generation and the whole entertainment circle so
deeply!

As soon as they entered the room, Colin didn't say a word. He just stood in front of Colin, holding
Melissa's hand. He looked at Gilbert indifferently, as if he was not his father at all, but an abominable
stranger.

Gilbert tried his best to turn his eyes to look at him and then at Melissa. But to Melissa's surprise, he
didn't scream or even look surprised like the people outside. He just looked at them numbly and said to
Colin, "You're finally willing to see me. It's been five or six years. You always avoid me. Have you
forgotten that I'm your father?"

"What do you want to say?" Colin answered coldly, ignoring his reminiscence.

Gilbert still looked at him with difficulty. Then he pointed at Colin and said, "You are not a filial son!"
"Still the same!"

These words sounded like he was in anger. Perhaps in the past, Gilbert might have been extremely
angry, but now, he was an old man who was about to die, and his aura was not as strong as before.
Instead, he was like complaining about his son, without any anger.

"You know clearly whether I have changed or not. Just say it!"

Turning his eyes slowly, Gilbert asked, "Don't you have something to say to me?"

Raising his eyebrows, Colin sneered, "If I tell you the truth, I'm really afraid that you'll be angry and die
when you get excited. Then the people outside will jump off their feet. They've worked so hard to invite
the lawyer team, but it's useless."



Gilbert rolled his eyes as if he was thinking about something. Unfortunately, his brain was old, and it
was difficult for him to think about anything. After a while, he suddenly sighed and said, "You are not a
filial son!" Why do you look like me most among all the sons? "Not only do we look like each other, but
we also have the same character. What have I done wrong?"
