Chapter 445:
On the return journey, Amelia kept her silence.
Beside her, Wyatt also refrained from speaking, his grip on her hand firm. Only after the vehicle halted at Hillside Villa did Amelia glance at Wyatt with unease, saying, “Regarding my mother p>
“I’ll have Davin investigate her past. As for the matter of the Chadwick family, my stance remains — you can do what feels right. Return if you wish, stay away if you’d rather not,” Wyatt said.
During dinner, Wyatt unexpectedly got a call from Marc.
Marc relayed that Conroy’s health had worsened drastically and pressed him to hurry to the Stewart Mansion.
Hardly had Wyatt ended the call before Della called him as well.

On the road, Amelia was told the cause of Conroy’s grave state.
Although advanced in years, Conroy had been carefully preserving his health with Marc’s unique medicine, keeping him in fair condition. Yet, Jewell’s shove from before had triggered dormant ailments within him.
“Why wasn’t he taken to a hospital?” Wyatt questioned.
Doug swiftly answered, “He refuses to go p>
Conroy rested in his chamber, encircled by many people.
When Amelia and Wyatt appeared, the crowd immediately cleared a path for them.
Conroy looked drained, though his gaze brightened upon Amelia’s arrival.
Struggling, he signaled for her to come near.
As Amelia leaned closer, Conroy’s frail voice trembled. “Are you… expecting p>
Because of Conroy’s past actions, Amelia still harbored discontent toward him. But seeing his fragile state, she found herself unable to hold on to her grievances.
With a gentle smile, she nodded and said, “Yes p>
After a pause, she added, “And I’m having triplets p>
“Rea… really p>
“It’s true. I verified the results myself,” Marc interjected before Amelia could reply.
The lifelessness in Conroy’s features disappeared, as though vigor returned through sudden hope. He said, “Doug, bring p>
“I’ll fetch it now. I know what you mean p>
Doug rushed off before Conroy could finish.
Moments later, Doug came back holding a property deed.
At Conroy’s motion, he presented it to Wyatt.
Standing beside Wyatt, Amelia saw it was the deed to the Stewart Group headquarters. She was stunned.
This was significant.
“What’s this about?” Wyatt asked, frowning at Conroy, not accepting the deed.
Conroy’s gaze carried irritation as he murmured, “This is… a present for my great-grandchildren p>
Wyatt’s expression grew conflicted, but he still didn’t take it.
Afraid Conroy might collapse in fury, Amelia intervened quickly, saying, “Conroy, perhaps keep the present until after the children arrive p>
“I fear I won’t survive to that day p>
Amelia said, “You will. You’ll live to meet them and watch them grow p>
Her words filled Conroy’s eyes with happiness.
For elders, the sight of descendants brings immense joy.
After Conroy drifted into slumber, the gathering slowly dispersed.
Perhaps due to his critical state, neither Amor nor Jaycob raised objections to such a substantial gift.
“Could the wildroot panax help Conroy?” Amelia asked.
“No.” Marc shook his head grimly. “His body is consumed by too many afflictions. He’s too frail to withstand tonics. Instead of aiding, the wildroot panax could only hasten his decline p>
Lowering his voice, Marc leaned toward Wyatt. “Prepare yourself; Conroy likely has little time left p>
Wyatt’s expression turned dark.
After lingering in silence for a while, he asked in a low voice, “How long at most p>
“Two months, no more p>
“Mr. Stewart, you can’t go inside p>
On learning of Conroy’s failing health, Jewell rushed to the Stewart Mansion without delay.
Before, Conroy had ordered that Jewell be barred from the Stewart Mansion, so the guards tried to stop him.
By the time Doug heard the disturbance and came forward, Jewell had already stormed to the living room entrance.
Doug hurried to block him. “Mr. Stewart, please leave. Your father is resting p>
Convinced Doug was lying to hinder him, Jewell attempted to shove his way inside.
Seeing this, Wyatt’s expression turned frigid. “Throw him out p>
