Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Her Love is Obsessive, Even Pathological_1

Chapter 1045

Chloe Collins’s voice was a touch cold, "Grandfather, don’t feel troubled. This is our young people’s issue. No matter the decision you make, I won’t blame you. You have your own position, but I will also insist on my own principles and do what I think is right. It is rare in life to meet someone you truly love, so apart from him, there really isn’t any force that can stop me."

Her words left the Master with no room for rebuttal.

He cared deeply for this child, and yet...

"Sigh, forget it, forget it. I won’t interfere anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own fortune. You handle it yourself."

Chloe Collins faintly smiled, "Grandfather, I am not the kind to resign myself to fate."

The Master was taken aback, at a loss for words.

Before long, she left.

The Butler walked in and saw the Master sitting with a concerned look on his face.

"Master, it’s time for dinner."

"Do you think I can still eat?" The Master sighed heavily, "This child’s stubbornness is even stronger than her mother’s. I think Alex is in danger."

"How can it be? Miss Collins is such a kind person and she has no hot temper. Besides, it is the Second Young Master who is pursuing her, not her clinging to him."

The Master had a frown on his face, "Her willingness to stay with the Fosters is her most apparent dependence on Alex. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I fear that once she gets Alex to agree, if something unexpected happens to her, she might follow the path of ancient times by acting out a lover’s suicide and have Alex go with her."

"Suicide out of love?"

"Yes, from her words just now, that seems to be what she means. She might have asked Alex if he is willing to die with her."

"This... does indeed seem a little dangerous. With such a strong possessive desire, she would indeed drag the other person along." The Butler was shocked.

The Butler further said, "We can actually understand. Miss Collins is clear about her feelings. She knows what she wants and will seek the other person’s opinion. If they’re not willing, she won’t blindly agree and waste time. All the more pity, fate has been too unfair to her."

"But Alex has more than just her. He has the Fosters, his parents, his brother. How can he just abandon everything? Judging from Tristan Collins’s words, this child won’t live for long!"

"So there’s no way to save her?" The Butler was genuinely distressed.

The Master shook his head, "There’s little hope. After all, this matter ended many years ago. They are not short of money, having seen so many doctors. Didn’t Joy Taylor still pass away?"

The Butler sighed, unsure of what to say.

The Carrington, Collins, Foster, Spence, and White families all were investors in this experiment. But only the heads of the families and the experimenters knew of this matter. Evelyn Thompson and her husband were unaware of it.

"Perhaps Miss Collins didn’t actually take that medication? You didn’t seem to ask clearly earlier."

But the Master said, "Indeed, I did have suspicions. Tristan Collins could have said anything to prevent the two children from being together. But when I was picking lotus flowers just now, I tested her. From the doorway to the edge of the pond, she came in an instant - a feat no ordinary person can achieve."

Recalling the scene just then, the Butler simply fell silent.

The Master remembered the past and said, "That medication indeed boosted people’s capabilities, but it was a double-edged sword, the drawbacks were too significant!"

He had thought that everything was over after the experiment ended. He never expected such a heartbreaking story to arise.

He lowered his eyes, masking an expression of helplessness, "Sigh, it’s time for the nephew to pay for the seeds sown by his aunt."

"You are not to speak of this matter to anyone."

"Yes, Master."
