A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 767

Unlike Wilhelmina, Norman understood all too well the hardships faced by students who managed to top the state exams. It was an honor to stand out among millions of students.

Achieving such a feat wasn't just about hard work; it required excellent genes and a sharp mind.

In short, even in a family as prestigious as the Lycans, Jack's accomplishments were truly remarkable. It was something the Lycan family should be proud of.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries at the door, Norman led the group to the room where Vincent was being treated.

Vincent's ward was equipped with the highest level of care—an entire team of nurses, staff, and top-tier international doctors tending to him around the clock.

When the Lycan family entered the room, they saw Vincent lying in bed, reading the newspaper, while a young girl around Jack's age idly played on her phone.

This was his grandfather. As Jack took in the sight of the elderly man, he noted that, while Vincent's health appeared stable, he looked aged over the years.

Vincent's posture had once been straight but it was now slightly hunched. His hair was also now completely white.

Time, it seemed, had been fair to everyone.

Though they hadn't seen each other in over a decade, Jack didn't feel much affection for Vincent. After all, his grandfather had failed to rein in his wife and allowed Emily to endure so much hardship and mistreatment over the years.

Seeing his grandfather again stirred no particular warmth in Jack's heart. The way Vincent had treated Jack's family all those years ago had left a shadow that time hadn't erased.

The girl about Jack's age looked trendy. Her long, wine-red hair flowed over her shoulders, and her large eyes swept curiously over Jack and his parents.

She was Jack's cousin—Greta Rabine, the daughter of Quintis' sister, Josie.

Jack remembered Greta as a bratty, snobbish, and proud child. He didn't have a fond impression of her then.

When Greta looked over at him, Jack responded with a faint smile. It was neither friendly nor distant—just polite, as if greeting someone for the first time.
