Female Novel
Chapter 778 Plain and Simple
"Grandma, Grandpa is seriously ill now, and the only thing he can't let go of is my matter. Can youhelp me look around?" Sean looked at Lina and said, "If it's appropriate, I'll get married."
I'm not waiting for Abigail.
Colby heard him mention Abigail's matter and urged him to get married every day.
Every time Sean came, he would be nagged by Colby. Nagging could easily endanger the elderlyman's life, and Sean was tired.
Having loved openly and honestly once was enough for Sean.
Lina looked at him and said after a while, "Have you made up your mind?"
"Grandma, love can't be consumed like food, nor can it sustain a lifetime, don't you think?" Seansaid softly. "I made a mistake, causing Grandpa to become like this."
Lina approached him and patted his hand. "If anyone is to blame, it's me."
"We were never meant to be together. We've been through so many ups and downs over the yearsand are still not married. It means we're not meant to be. Forget it. Help me look around, and we'llget engaged soon." Sean finished speaking and walked toward the door of Colby's ward.
Sean looked at the door and pondered for a long time before grasping the handle.
Opening this door would turn the page on everything that came before.
He entered the ward and saw a pale Colby lying on the bed, breathing heavily.
Sean's heart was trembling as he murmured, "Grandpa."
"Ah, Sean… My dear Sean is here. She still can't be contacted?" Colby struggled to speak clearly,expending a lot of effort to say this complete sentence.
He suffered a setback and then had a stroke, making it difficult for him to speak clearly.
They consulted many doctors, but there was no solution.
Alice, who could treat him, had already passed away.
"Grandpa, I've thought about it. I'll look for a kind woman. If we get along well, we'll get engagedright away. What do you think?" Sean sat by the bed, holding Colby's hand.
Upon hearing that, Colby nodded repeatedly. "Good… That's good! You should get married andhave children soon. I worry about you. Without a family, you don't know responsibility, and you actrecklessly… I already have one foot in the grave, but you're still young. Don't be impulsive…"
Sean lowered his head and said softly, "I know. I was wrong."
He shouldn't have gambled on the company's future.
Colby looked at him before he said worriedly, "Sean, I'm afraid that you won't live well in the secondhalf of your life. Find someone suitable, and live a peaceful life. That's all there is to it. After all, lifeis long. Once you've experienced love, it's enough."
"Okay." Sean nodded.
Once, he was arrogant, disregarding the opinions of everyone in the family.
Over the years, he also thanked Abigail as she taught him to cherish everyone who was good tohim.
After Colby fell asleep, Sean and Lina left the ward.
Lina escorted Sean downstairs. In the elevator, she suddenly said, "Your grandfather didn't chooseto be with me because he liked me. He was indeed handsome and talented when he was young,and he had his eye on other girls, but in the end, he chose me because I was suitable."
Sean couldn't help but glance sideways at her words.
In fact, he had sensed when he was young that Colby didn't have that kind of love for Lina.
It was more like supporting a long-lost relative. Even though Lina was causing a scene, Colby didn'ttake it to heart, but he also didn't have any special emotions because of her antics.
When Sean was arranged to marry Abigail, he felt that Colby had lived his life in a similar way andwent along with the arrangement.
"When I was young, I used to listen to him because he was good-looking. I wasn't as emotional as Iam now. Maybe as people age, we all change." Lina smiled.novelbin
Meanwhile, Sean remained silent.
"Finding the right partner to share your life with is crucial. Why go after so much trouble?" Linaadded. "Everyone says to find a supportive woman who can boost your career. Why spend so muchmoney? What did you achieve? If this were the olden days, Abigail wouldn't be considered asuitable match. They would say she brings discord to the family. I'm not saying she's unsuitable. Ijust hope you can let go. You have great skills. If you hastily switch to someone else, the companywill suffer. You will definitely regret it. Love is blind, you know… It's all a deception to fool naive andyoung people."
Sean listened quietly without saying anything.
As Lina dropped him off at the hospital entrance, she whispered, "Go back and talk to Analise. Ourtwo families have some connection. Just inform her, alright? Don't let the old lady feel bad."
"Okay," Sean humbly replied.
Lina smiled. "Tomorrow, I'll ask the people I know to find a local girl for you."
Sean nodded in agreement.
As the car window slowly rolled up, Sean watched as Lina waved goodbye, gradually getting furtheraway. In the end, he looked away.
At that point, Xavien commented, "I think we can close the trap now. Since we started monitoringthe website, we have already caught 60% more fraud than before. If we close the trap now, we willhave a substantial amount of money. Those who tried to deceive us will regret it."
Sean closed his eyes as he pressed his fingers to his forehead. "Let's wait a little longer until wecan't extract any more value from them. Then, we'll close the trap."
