The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley)

"Give me my phone," Tyson raised a hand, asking Max for it.

Max immediately retrieved Tyson's phone and pulled up a photo he had obtained from the Beaumont family.

Tyson looked at the young woman in the photo, a faint smile appearing on his pale face. "She's beautiful. I finally get to see my daughter. What's her name again?"

"Brittany," Max replied.

Tyson nodded, clearly satisfied with the name. "Brittany, sounds classic and modern, stylish and soft, yet strong."

It was obvious that her adoptive parents had high expectations for her and loved her deeply; otherwise, they wouldn't have given her such a meaningful name.

Perhaps he had spoken too much in one breath, as Tyson suddenly started coughing violently. Then, with a loud gasp, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Seeing this, Ocean could no longer hold back. He dropped to his knees. "Sir, I beg you, stop holding on! Let's go to the hospital, right now! There's still a chance! You can still be saved!"

Tyson's vision was already clouding over. He looked at Ocean, his voice weak as he gently called, "Elara..."

"Do you really think we can get out? Sigh... Outside this house, there are countless eyes watching."

Ocean lowered his head and broke into sobs.

He knew that the schemers from the Godard family were eagerly waiting for Tyson

to die. Since they had already managed to poison him silently, they surely had more plans in place. If Tyson stepped outside, an ambush was inevitable.

He had considered bringing in a doctor from Brightmoor, but both times, unexpected accidents occurred, and the local doctors were needlessly dragged into trouble.

Their only hope now lay in the doctor Leo was bringing from Harrowfell.

But since the last two attempts had failed, Ocean doubted it this time. He had already lost hope. Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face. "This is outrageous. I'm going to kill them!"

Compared to Ocean, Tyson remained much calmer. "Kill who? Do you even know who did this?"

Ocean's eyes were bloodshot. "It's just those few people. They won't escape!"

Tyson was breathing heavily. He was at his limit. His hands trembled as he stroked the picture of Brittany on his phone, murmuring, "Brittany... my daughter... I won't be able to see you... Enya, I'm sorry... I won't get to see our daughter..."

Ocean was inconsolable, collapsing onto the floor in anguish.

Max held back his tears, but his throat felt as if knives were cutting through it, the pain unbearable.

Tyson looked at Max and grasped his hand. "Max, after I'm gone, don't announce my death immediately. Do what you need to do in the meantime, but above all, make sure you stay safe."

"Dad..." Max could no longer hold back his tears, and they fell.

"Why cry? Everyone faces this day eventually. I just didn't expect mine to come so soon... I haven't even cleared the path for you yet."

Tyson let out a heavy sigh. "You're a capable kid. You know how to protect yourself, how to deal with those from the Godard family. My only concern is my daughter. Promise me you'll take care of her, okay?"

Max knew that without a DNA test, they couldn't be one hundred percent sure that Brittany was really Tyson's biological daughter. After all, it was possible that the Sullivan family had played a trick.

Max understood this, and naturally, Tyson did as well. But at this moment, Tyson didn't want to dwelt on what was true or false, what was or wasn't. He just didn't want to

leave this world with regrets vel?

So, in this moment, whether Brittany was truly his daughter or not no longer mattered. In his heart, Tyson had already accepted Brittany as his own, and that was a kind of solace.noveldrama

Max shook his head. "Dad, I can't promise that. She's your biological daughter— how could I not be jealous? If you don't look after her, I'll definitely bully her."

Tyson pressed his lips together and weakly smiled. He knew Max was only trying to give him a reason to hold on a little longer. "I know... I won't give up... until the last moment..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Tyson spat out another mouthful of blood. A heavy pressure weighed on his chest, making it impossible to breathe. His eyes widened in pain.

His expression contorted, his hands stretched out, and the phone he had been clutching slipped from his grasp, crashing onto the floor, its screen shattering. The cracks ran right across Brittany's profile picture on the phone.

"Dad!" shouted Max.

"Sir!" Ocean threw himself onto Tyson's bed, screaming in despair. "Ocean—" Max fought to keep himself from breaking down and whispered to Ocean, "Lower your voice. Don't let the people outside hear."

Ocean's body tensed up. He buried his head in the blanket and wept silently. Just then, outside the villa's courtyard, the sound of a car horn echoed.

A voice followed-Leo's. "Max, I brought your girlfriend."

As soon as Paisley got out of the car, she heard Leo referring to her as Max's girlfriend. But she quickly composed herself, standing calmly beside Leo as she looked up at the villa.

Not long after, the window in the middle of the third floor opened from the inside, and Max's handsome face appeared inside.

Max smiled, showing no hint of sorrow. Instead, when he looked at Paisley, his expression softened with a natural fondness. "You're here. I'll be right down."

In the shadows, several pairs of eyes fixed on the courtyard gate.

"Could that woman be a doctor too? We can't let her in."

"No way. Didn't Leo say she's Max's girlfriend? Maybe Tyson's condition has worsened, and Max brought her here to check on him."

"But I never heard that Max had a girlfriend."

"He must have kept it well hidden. Look at her-she's so young and beautiful. No way she's a doctor."

"Exactly. Plus, our people have been

following them. Word is, she was

picked up from Harrowfell. Leo guarded her like a treasure the whole way, so she must be Max's most cherished woman. He wouldn't take any risks with her."

"No need to worry. Even if she is a doctor, there's nothing she can do to save

Tyson now. Let's just wait and see."

Just as they finished talking, the courtyard gate of the mansion opened, and Max walked out. As soon as he saw Paisley, he pulled her into his arms.
