Chapter 420 Aren’t You Optimistic
This child…
They couldn’t help but feel it in their hearts-
Jean was smart, thoughtful, and quietly powerful.
Looking back, if it weren’t for her, who knew how long the Ginger family would’ve stayed locked in a cold
war?
Maybe they would’ve kept living under Han Yi’s shadow, their lives perpetually steeped in cold silence.
Thinking this, Sienna took a step forward and gently placed a hand on Jean’s shoulder.
Her gaze softened, like still water rippling in the sunlight–warm, quiet, and full of emotion.
“Jean, thank you.”
She gave her shoulder a light pat, a small smile forming at the corners of her lips. “If it weren’t for you, I don’t think I would’ve been able to stay calm through any of this…”
Through it all, Jean had been her emotional anchor.
It was because of Jean that her rift with Samuel had finally begun to mend.
Jean met her eyes, wrapped her arms lightly around Sienna’s, and smiled. “Come on, there’s nothing to thank me for…”
She raised a brow, her tone easygoing. “I just really wanted Samuel to make peace with everyone… Now that he has, I feel like I can finally breathe again.”
“And he’s not in any danger anymore. We can all relax a little.”
“Not entirely,” Sienna said, her brows furrowing slightly. “We still don’t know who tampered with Samuel’s asthma medication…”
The immediate crisis might’ve passed, but the blade still hung over them-
It could fall at any moment in the future and deal the Ginger family a fatal blow.
Sensing the mood shift into something heavy, Jean quickly jumped in to lighten it. “There’s no use worrying about it if we don’t have a lead yet. Maybe one day, the culprit will slip up and reveal themselves!”
Sienna couldn’t help but smile faintly. “Aren’t you optimistic.”
Jean sighed inwardly. Like she had a choice.
After everything they’d been through–so many storms, so many setbacks and v uncertain and gray…
If she didn’t stay optimistic, she’d drown in it all.
the future still so
The others seemed to catch a flicker–of–something in her voice, and their expressions grew serious.
Uncertain and gray… What did she mean by that?

Chapter 420 Aren’t You Optimistic
“Jean,” Sienna said plainly, not one to beat around the bush, “are you hiding something from me?”
Jean was caught off guard.

She scratched the back of her head. “Hiding something? I mean, I think about a lot of things every day, but I believe I can handle them…”
Sienna’s heart ached at how mature she sounded. Her tone softened even more. “You don’t have to handle everything on your own. You can talk to me–or to anyone else. Let us help carry the weight.”
“Facing hard things alone might look cool, but we want to be your support too, Jean.”
Her words were warm and full of care, and Jean felt that warmth wrap around her.
No matter what, she could feel the love in Sienna’s voice.
Jean nodded firmly, her smile genuine. “I know. Thanks, Mom.”
Watching them, Winston felt his own chest warm.
That usual chill in his eyes faded, replaced by a rare trace of comfort.
Then he glanced down at his watch-
It was time. He needed to go.
Now that Samuel was out of danger, he’d done what he came to do.
Winston looked up, ready to say goodbye to Sienna and Jean–only to find himself locking eyes with Dominic.
