Episode 5

Fortunately, Alaric was not driving his car when he heard his uncle say that he would surprise Old Master Silva with a child, or else there would be breaking news in a few hours about his death in a car accident.

Looking at him stiffly, Alaric asked cautiously, "Uncle... Do you want me to get you an appointment with a brain specialist? I think you urgently need it."

Maximilian gave him a cold look before resuming the car. He smiled shortly after and replied, "Why don't I get you an orthopedist instead?"

Alaric shuddered and quickly closed his mouth. He didn't want his uncle to beat him until his bones cracked and he had to wear a cast for a year.

As the car continued down the road, Alaric suddenly straightened up and looked at him.

"Where are we going?"

"To my mother's clinic."

Alaric was silent.

Maximilian's mother was not the legal wife. She was the first love and childhood sweetheart of the current Master Silva. When they were young, the two were inseparable and even considered getting married when they grew up.

However, things didn't go well in their destiny as Maximilian's maternal family went bankrupt after the assistant to the patriarch of the Caius family secretly sold their assets and shares to their rival company.

This assistant was someone the Lu family trusted so much that they even treated him like their own family. His family even obtained abundant benefits without lifting a finger. However, these white-eyed wolves and ungrateful bastards stabbed the Caius family in the back and ruined such a large Caius family.

Not only that, a few weeks later, the wealth and reputation of the Caius family were also drowned in ruins. They were kicked out of their mansion; all their houses, villas, and apartments were taken away. Their bank accounts were even frozen by order of the chief of police, who was part of the Ming family, the assistant's family.

In the end, everyone laughed and mocked Maximilian's family. They don't even have a face to show anyone when they walk down the street!

At that time, Maximilian was already conceived inside the uterus of Andrea Caius, Maximilian's mother. Due to a mistake, she ended up sleeping with Silva Ruan, who was already married.

Andrea didn't know what to do. She loved Ruan, but he was already married to a woman and had two children. She didn't want to ruin his family and wanted to hide Maximilian's existence from him and the Silva family.

But who was going to know that when Maximilian was already seven years old, Old Master Silva knocked on their humble little door. Initially, Andrea wanted to deny everything, but Old Master Silva showed her the paternity test that he had already carried out even before this meeting.

Alaric moved in his seat and felt choked up thinking about his uncle's story. He wanted to pat the other, but for fear of having his hand cut off before he could touch him, he refrained from doing so.

One might think that Maximilian's mother, who was Ruan's first love and girlfriend in the past, would get her deserved happy ending.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of Maximilian's mother's horrible fate.

At the hands of Ruan's wife, Andrea's reputation was stained once again. Everyone called her "slut," "home-wrecker," and "mistress." But that wasn't the worst.

In the end, Maximilian's mother decided to take her own life and threw herself off a bridge while there was a storm. Her body was not found even after a month of searching. And, sadly, it was only Old Master Silva who did everything possible to find her.

The clinic was only a few meters from where they were when Maximilian parked and got out of his car.

Alaric stood up and followed him into the clinic.

Once the nurse standing behind the counter saw Maximilian, she opened her lips in a wide maternal smile.

"Little Maximilian is here!" The old nurse went around the counter and warmly hugged the tall man in front of her. "You should have called me before coming here. If my husband finds out, he'll be angry with me!" the old nurse scolded him jokingly.

Alaric wanted to prevent the old nurse from getting closer and touching Maximilian, as the latter didn't like anyone touching him or getting close to him. Even Alaric was reserved with him out of respect and fear.

The last time someone dared to touch his uncle, that person broke his arm and had to be hospitalized for a month.

'Old lady! You're in danger!' Alaric shouted in his heart.

However, he didn't think that not only did Maximilian not break the old nurse's arms. Maximilian even extended his arms to accept the bear hug.

What was going on?! Alaric's jaw dropped to the ground seeing him and the old nurse hugging.

At that moment, while the two were hugging like they were a loving and adorable mother and son, and Alaric, who might need a stretcher due to the shock, a woman dressed in casual clothes came out of the doctor's office after a consultation.
