When Duke returned to the ward, Old President's eyes were fixed on his face, so it could be seen that this nephew was in a difficult position. "Do you also suspect me?" The Old President began to mock himself.

Duke placed his phone on the cabinet next to him and did not say a word.

"I admit that I had the intention to kill him before, but this time, it isn't me." The Old President mocked.

Duke looked at him slowly, and then, he said with an expressionless face: "This is a war between you and him, I don't want to hear about it."

"Are you afraid of him? Joseph Grant once stood at the same starting point as you, but he has already surpassed you by too much." Old President's words provoked him.

"I'm not afraid of others. I'm afraid of myself." Duke immediately stood up and walked towards Old President step by step: "Everyone has a demon in their heart, greed will lure them out from the abyss, I am afraid that one day I will become greedy and unsatisfied, I will let that demon out."

Old President had never been taught a lesson by anyone before. Never would he have thought that his favorite nephew would look down on him from above and even say something like this to him when he was lying on the sickbed at this moment.

"Why are you telling me this? I don't want to hear it. " Old President was a little angry as he turned his face away.

Seeing that he was acting shamelessly, Duke laughed helplessly: "Has anyone ever told you this before? Or you still want to do it even if you know it. Power is the devil that lives in your heart. You're not satisfied, you let him out again and again to hurt people, but in the end, you can't control him. Uncle, do you feel anything by lying here?"

"Duke, you can't teach me a lesson. I'm your elder." Old President was even more furious.

"Yes, elders are role models used to respect and learn. But I have never learned anything from you. On the contrary, the way you are lying right now makes me feel more like a relative, you are old and sick, I will take care of you by your side and have a chance to be filial to you. Uncle, have you never thought that once you reach a certain age, you will step down from a high position and live a leisurely life of your own?" Duke's gaze became warm, no longer as overbearing as before.

Old President's eyes were a little dazed. He looked so muddled that he seemed to have lost his memory and started to see the world anew.

"There are some reasons. I understand, but I can't do it." Finally, he closed his eyes as if he had been trained.

Seeing his hateful and pitiful appearance, Duke didn't know what to feel in his heart. He immediately turned around and said, "I'm going downstairs to buy some things."

When he left, Old President once again opened his eyes, his expression was filled with bewilderment.

Duke gave instructions to the guards at the side, then gloomily went downstairs.

Duke went downstairs, directly buying a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from a shop at the side. After which, he turned and walked to the side for a while, there was a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, he anxiously broke off his cigarette case, and casually took out cigarettes to tip his lips, just as he was about to light them.

Suddenly, he heard a pure and pure female voice that sounded like a silver bell.

"Duke, are you really here?"

Hearing the voice, Duke's attempt to light the fire instantly froze, and his back stiffened up. However, it was only for a short two seconds, and like usual, he lit up his cigarette and took a deep breath before turning his head to look at the beautiful girl standing under the sunlight with both her hands behind her.

"Wendy, what are you doing here?" The man's voice was indifferent, but her gaze shifted, as if he was afraid to look at the girl. Or perhaps, he was afraid that if he looked at her more, he would not want to look away.

Wendy was wearing a cute school uniform. From a gMillerce, it was obvious that she had escaped from school: a camouflaged plaid shirt, a cute deep red butterfly tie, a small suit that fit her well, a black and white skirt that went past her knees, and a pair of black and white knee stockings, bringing out her entire youthful air. Her delicate hair that went past her shoulders and her shattered bangs made her seem like she had passed through a beautiful girl's comics.

"I heard you were back, and I wanted to see you." Wendy held her hands behind her back, walking past a few trees and headed towards the small pavilion. Duke's breathing was a little ragged, and when he saw her walking over, his body clearly trembled.

Wendy ran over and gasped for breath. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and her small face looked even more pink and tender, just like a blooming flower, causing people to look forward to her blooming. "Duke, what's wrong with you? Do you really want to break up with me?" Wendy didn't wait for the man to speak and had already shouted angrily: "I admit that I had done something that made you unhappy, bu At that time, I was still a child. Being fond of games was my nature and it wasn't intentional. "

Duke's expression was still indifferent, no longer as frivolous as before. He had changed, becoming mature and calm.

"Did your brother know that you're here?" Duke didn't want to talk about the past with her, because the matters of the past were all buried in his heart.

"Of course he doesn't know. I came here to skip class, I'm so tired." Wendy ran around the hospital, and after much difficulty, she finally found him. Her face was covered with sweat, and she sat down on a chair to the side, extending her hands to fan her face.

"I'm thirsty. Buy me a bottle of water." she asked immediately.

"The store is over there. Go and buy yourself." Duke would definitely not listen to his commands.

"My legs are about to break, I can't walk anymore." Wendy pouted her small mouth and looked at him with her eyes.

The man frowned and pressed the cigarette in his hand, tossing it into the trash can beside him. Then he turned around and went to the store. He bought a bottle of water and came back.

"Here you are!" He did not look at Wendy, but gave her a bottle of water.

Wendy took the water and wanted to drink it, but... the lid could not be opened.

"I... I can't twist it!" Wendy didn't do it on purpose, she really couldn't break it.

The man took it back, unscrewed it, and handed it to her again.

Wendy drank half of the bottle in one breath. She was in a bit of a hurry and even water was flowing out of the corner of her mouth. She directly wiped it with the back of her hand and only then did she seem to have found the strength to speak.

"Why are you looking for me?" Duke's expression recovered its coldness.

"We haven't seen each other in such a long time. I want to see if you have become handsome or not." Wendy immediately laughed mischievously, sticking out her tongue.

Duke's taut face, was almost amused by her words. However, he still pretended to be gloomy and asked indifferently: "Is there any business with you?"

"Yes, of course. Now that you have become handsome, I can introduce you to my friends." Wendy said with a joking expression.

Duke's heart directly fell from the sky to the ground. He glared at her in embarrassment: "Wendy, go back to school. Don't run around outside."

"I'm not going back. I want you to treat me to lunch. I'm hungry." Wendy was truly being shameless. "Why should I treat you to a meal? " Duke felt that she was becoming more willful.

"Do you want to treat me to a meal? Then I'll treat you. I want to have a meal with you anyway. I still have a lot of things to talk to you." Wendy immediately stood up, with her hands behind her back, she slowly approached her like a penguin: "Duke, you have changed."

Duke's heart was thumping fast. His face froze when he saw her approach. He turned his back on her and said: "I have nothing to talk to you. You should go back."

"Is it because of the matter between my brother and your uncle? Are we going to be enemies? " Wendy didn't think that she would be so shameless as to plead with him to eat together with her. She immediately became sorrowful, and her beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears: "But I still want to be your friend."

When Duke heard her mention this matter, he quickly turned around only to see her lowering his head. Her two small hands anxiously wringing them in front of his chest with a face full of sorrow.

"You know about the relationship between our two families. Since it has already become like this, we can't change it. Wendy, you should go back." Duke hardened his heart and cruelly chased her away. Wendy's sincere heart instantly shattered. She blinked her eyes in disbelief: "This means that it's true?"

"What's true?" Duke frowned.

"You have someone you like." When Wendy raised her beautiful eyes, the tears at the bottom of her eyes rolled down.
