Chapter 1121

1121 Change in Attitude
Logan looked utterly distressed, with reddened eyes and his hands cradling his head.
Perhaps it had to do with his family history of losing his mother too early. That was why family meant everything to Logan.
Chad had always outshone him since they were kids. Even their father, Jadiel Winston, took pride in Chad alone.
Only Clyde showed unconditional kindness toward him.
When Logan was young, Clyde always told him, “My dear, you don’t need to be outstanding. Just grow up safe and sound.”
He always remembered it. Once, when he had a high fever, Jadiel refused to take care of him, and even the maids kept their distance from him due to its highly infectious bacterial nature, which could spread to the lungs.
The doctor recommended isolation. However, Clyde stayed with him and told him stories while patting his shoulder.
“My dear, don’t be scared. I’m here with you. You’ll be alright and will recover soon. Tell me if there’s anything you want to eat.”
Logan couldn’t believe how Clyde, who had been so caring, could change so drastically. He couldn’t pinpoint when Clyde suddenly became much colder toward him.
It seemed to start around the time when Logan entered middle school.
Diego Winston, Clyde’s father, had just passed away. Or, it might have been because his exam results were poor, and Clyde was genuinely disappointed in him.
Since then, Clyde’s attitude toward him changed.
Logan couldn’t quite put his finger on what went wrong.
He wanted to try harder, but he could never measure up to Chad. He even asked Clyde once if his disappointment stemmed from his own inadequacy.
Clyde, already into medicinal herbs by then, gave him a cold look.
“Who let you in here?” Clyde had never spoken to him like that before.
Logan was so shocked that his face turned pale.
He accidentally spilled the bowl of herbal remedy on the floor. After running off, he hid inside a large wooden cabinet. He didn’t come out, no matter who called for him.
He didn’t understand what he was afraid of.
That night, he ran a fever again. His memories became hazy from the heat.
No one noticed he was missing.
Later, he heard from the maids that Clyde had asked for him. It was then that Jadiel finally pulled him out of the wardrobe.
Outsiders often said Clyde spoiled him, forbidding him from doing this or that. He just wanted Logan to grow up as the Winston family’s scion.
The butler also said, “Mr. Logan, please don’t run around. Mr. Winston Senior worries about you a lot. “His study is off-limits. How many times have we said this? Why did you go there again? Mr. Winston Senior didn’t throw a fit because he treats you well, but you should remember this time.”‘
Logan heard these words vaguely as he lay in bed with a burning forehead.
One thought occupied his mind-did Clyde really treat him well?
Before, Clyde had been by his side all night, calling him his dear. There had never been any rule about not entering the study.
Now, as he lay feverish once more, Clyde didn’t spare him a glance.
Logan couldn’t make sense of it all, so he attributed it to his own lack of excellence compared to Chad.
The next day, when he saw Clyde, the latter asked him what he had seen last night, as if ready to pounce on him if he said the wrong thing.
Logan couldn’t fathom why Clyde was asking this. He instinctively shook his head.
Only then did Clyde smile and put a piece of bacon on his plate. “Looks like you’re still a bit weak. Rest more and eat plenty of meat. Don’t worry about your studies.”
