Faced with his father's invitation, Yvan didn't decline but said, "How about tomorrow night? I've still got some things to sort out, and I'm currently staying at the Keaton's..."
"Keaton, I really can't thank you enough..." Upon hearing this, Noel went over and took Keaton's hand, "I don't even know what to say to thank you, honestly..."
"Don't mention it. At first, I even lied to you," Keaton glanced at Yvan. "I was just scared that if the experiment failed, I wouldn't be able to face you. But thankfully, Yvan's condition has somewhat stabilized now, which is why I agreed to let him come back."
Noel was already choked up and couldn't speak, just seeing Yvan standing there, well and alive, made him feel like he had used up all his luck in this life.
"Yeah, thank goodness... thank goodness you're back." Noel reached out and touched Yvan's face, "Looks like your mom and I can finally look forward to our golden years."
"Dad." Yvan smiled helplessly, "Sorry, for losing my memory and making you wait for so long."
Blood is thicker than water. Even though he had lost his memory, calling Noel "Dad" didn’t feel awkward in the slightest because his body and habits still remembered his family.
And what about Matilda?
Yvan looked up at Matilda standing off to the side.
This… was his former position, the once cold and calculating, yet incredibly efficient President of the Boyd Group.
Matilda then pulled out her resignation letter, adopting a formal tone, "Mr. Boyd, this is my letter of resignation. In your absence, I inadequately took over the reins of the Boyd Group. Now, I'm handing everything back to you and resigning. Please, review it at your convenience."
As these words fell, those present sensed an air of nobility and sacrifice in her gesture.
It was akin to a modern-day rendition of dedicating one's life to a cause, a display of unwavering loyalty and dedication that, despite facing insurmountable odds, bore no regret.
