Master Bailey looked at Anna Jadwin with pitiful eyes, full of affection...
Anna hurried to the bedside and tightly held the trembling hand the old man was reaching out to her, "Grandpa."
Master Bailey then stretched out his other hand, waiting for Wayne Bailey to hold it before placing their hands together.
"Wayne, promise me, you must treat Cathy Xavier well..." Raphael Bailey's breathing was hazy, but he was more lucid than ever, "Just as I did when I was alive, showing her extra care and love."
Anna's eyes widened, as her heart felt like it was being torn apart whenever she was mistaken for Cathy Xavier.
"Cathy... dear, I'm sorry..." Master Bailey was filled with guilt.
He knew it was because of his selfishness that he sought for Cathy Xavier to be their surrogate. All these years, she had been the one accompanying him, an old man, and taking care of him. When he had episodes of illness, she was the one who would calm him down.
