Every One of Them Was a Paranoid

Late at night.

The call continued.

Why not?

Juno countered, "You don't know Heather is lonely, do you?"

"This..."

Adam hesitated.

"Caroline is indeed very good."

Juno said, "But her energy is all focused on more people who need help, which is very scattered, and as she becomes more successful, she will have fewer and fewer things to focus on."

Tatiana's Lifespan is limited, at least until better treatments become available.

Therefore, she needs to feel as much love as possible within the limited time she has.

What she needs is constant attention to her family.

Caroline clearly couldn't do that.

But Heather was different.

She has plenty of time to care for Tatiana.

One is lonely, the other lacks love—aren't they the perfect mother-daughter duo?

You don't know that Heather has no intention of having children in her life, do you?

"I know."

Adam's lips twitched slightly as the encrypted file in his mind was triggered, unlocking and opening.

During the last Thanksgiving dinner, Juno's words made Adam feel somewhat ashamed, and he contacted Heather afterwards.

Heather was very direct; she flew over that very night.

That same night, Adam learned that everything Heather had said before was true.

She really has no intention of letting her bloodline genes be passed down.

No sooner said than done!

She has an IUD...

The impact this had on Adam was unparalleled and unprecedented, and it remains deeply etched in his memory to this day.

"But are you sure Heather wants to adopt a daughter like Tatiana?"

Adam shook his head, encrypting the millions of words of images in his mind again, and reminded himself, "There's a reason why I let Caroline adopt me."

She is a professional philanthropist.

Although she gave all her love.

But precisely because her love is distributed, once someone she cares for passes away, she can quickly let go and continue to devote herself to more people who need her care.

I believe that once Heather agrees to adopt Tatiana, she will be fully committed to being a good mother.

But will Heather, who has given her all to Tatiana, be able to accept the possibility of Tatiana suddenly leaving one day?

"The fact that you can say this shows that Heather's feelings for you have not been in vain."

Juno laughed and said, "I thought you were going to say that Heather's environment wasn't suitable for Tatiana."

"That's part of the reason."

Adam said awkwardly, "But I think that since you dared to make this suggestion, you must have considered it. I trust your judgment."

"Hehe."

Juno chuckled, "You always avoid danger, but you don't realize that sometimes facing it bravely can easily resolve these dangers completely."

Don't worry.

How do you think Heather has managed these past few years?

Has there really been no progress at all since we started working together?

Not to mention that you're quite capable.

Over the years, you've also given us guidance, and we've all achieved financial freedom by following your lead.

In the United States, money can solve everything.

"Heather will have no problem adopting Tatiana if she really wants to."

"That's why you're willing to trust me."

Adam smiled reservedly.

Adam began investing his royalties back in college, and over the years he has reaped amazing returns.

As Adam's best friend, Juno, who also possesses the superpower to almost see through people's hearts, keenly sensed Adam's overwhelming confidence and unhesitatingly took out most of her and Karen's money to invest in line with Adam's lead.

Later, she even had her father mortgage the property, Karen naturally listened to Juno and did the same.

In recent years, the US stock market has been rising steadily, and you can basically make money no matter what you buy, not to mention that those who followed Adam's lead bought high-tech internet companies.

After several times the initial investment, without Adam even asking, Juno took out her principal and some of the profits to redeem the property, giving her father a substantial amount of interest that nearly made him ecstatic.

They set aside several hundred thousand yuan for their living expenses, and continued to invest the rest of their earnings with Adam, intending to hold them long-term as Adam suggested.

Adam was dumbfounded by her calm and composed demeanor, which allowed her to advance and retreat with ease.

You must know that wealth can be a powerful motivator.

Adam initially bought stocks, and after a period of significant gains, he became quite obsessed with them, paying attention to them almost every day.

It's a lot like when I was a struggling writer in my past life, during the new book season I would check how many favorites and recommendations I got every day, at least ten times a day, but it's much more exciting than that.

It was only after his net worth increased day by day and he became numb that he finally overcame this psychological trap.

What could Adam say about Juno's calm demeanor throughout?

I'm completely convinced!

Next was Heather.

During the tender years that Adam and Heather spent together, Juno also gave Heather a heads-up.

Juno's personal charm and persuasiveness are absolutely top-notch.

Heather didn't have any money at the time, but after she inherited the estate and farm, she followed Juno's advice, mortgaged the farm, and got some money. Like Juno, she invested with Adam.

Four years ago, the farm was redeemed, and the family was financially secure.

It's the same old Juno strategy: set aside a large sum of money for daily expenses, and leave the rest of the profits to be held long-term, letting them fluctuate without any intervention.

They would only act when they were short of money, or when Adam was ready to make a move.

Caroline was much more cautious, since she constantly needed to make expenses and relied more on donations.

Adam was the most prominent among them.

Since charity work can be tax-deductible, donating to Caroline so she can genuinely help people is better than paying taxes to let those United States soldiers wreak havoc abroad!

Adam's income, even if he only donates a portion of it each year as a tax deduction, is enough to cover the daily expenses and continued growth of the Ellis Charity Foundation.

"You still haven't said how Heather will cope with Tatiana's possible sudden death?"

Adam got back to the main point.

"Let's not even talk about the fact that Heather has enough money to give Tatiana the best care."

On the other end of the phone, Juno said confidently, "Tatiana's Lifespan can be guaranteed to the maximum extent possible."

Science and technology have seen explosive growth in recent years, and medical technology is no exception.

In a few years, there may be a specific drug or treatment for AIDS.

The likelihood of Tatiana dying young is very small.

And even if something unfortunate were to happen, Heather would be heartbroken for a long time.

But you're dead!

This is the time for you to step in, comfort her, and dispel her sadness.

Trust me, with you here, she'll get through this soon.

"... Am I really that useful?"

Adam smiled wryly.

"No way."

Juno teased, "Who told you to keep running into such stubborn women? Once they've made up their minds, it's hard to change them. They're either very good or very bad. Caroline and Heather are both exceptionally good to you, so you should be secretly happy about it."

Aren't you paranoid too?

Adam couldn't help but smile.

Don't think I don't know, you seem to be the most obsessive one!

You've surrounded me with good paranoia, and I haven't seen bad paranoia for a long time.

Am I?

Juno smiled and asked in return.

"Do not you?"

Adam was in a good mood and joked.

Late at night, hundreds of kilometers apart, the two played a childish game of repeating themselves on the phone, discussing fundamental questions about humanity...
