Albert paused. Suddenly, the look on his face turned awkward. “Of course.”
Everyone shifted their gaze to Albert. Arthur’s expression was rather calm as he said to Albert, “Give the card back to her.”Dahlia immediately said, “It’s just a little compensation from us.”
Lydia quickly added, “Dad, you wouldn’t have been injured if it weren’t for her daughter. It'll cost quite a sum for you to stay in thehospital anyway. They’re just doing what they’re supposed to.”
Arthur shifted his gaze to Lydia. “There’s no reason for me to accept it because the fall isn’t the reason why I’m admitted. How isthis different from blackmailing if | were to accept it?” He then looked at Arthur. “Give it back.”
Albert figured he should not say anything else after hearing what Arthur said in front of everyone. He gave the card back toDahlia.
Dahlia frowned slightly. “You can let us know if you need help in any other way.”Arthur waved his hand. “I accept her apology. You guys can go home now.”Albert was afraid that Dahlia would be offended, so he said to Arthur softly, “Dad, they just got here.”
Arthur was not bothered at all as he frowned and said, “Look at how tiny this room is. | can’t even breathe well with all the peoplearound me. Do you want to die of suffocation instead?”
Albert choked.
The look on Dahlia’s face was not looking very good either. ‘He’s chasing us out without even letting us stay for a while. He’smaking me look so bad.’
Then, she said with a sullen face, “We'll stop disturbing you now if that’s the case. Aurora, come on.”Aurora broke free of the bodyguards and left with Dahlia.
Albert quickly went after them. “Dahlia, I'll walk you out.”
Lydia secretly followed them when nobody was watching her.
Everyone in the ward left one by one. In the end, Keegan and Stella were the only ones left inside.
Arthur waved his hand and called to his great-granddaughter. “Stella, I’m hungry. Would you go downstairs and buy somesandwiches for me?”
Stella looked at Keegan. She knew that Arthur wanted to talk to Keegan alone.She pursed her lips and said, “What kind of sandwiches?”
Arthur put on his usual smile. “The ones with grilled pork tenderloin and some garlic.”
After Stella left, Arthur leaned on his bed with a pale face. Then, he said softly, “Keegan, would you flip me over?”
Keegan immediately stepped forward and held him to flip him over. He lifted the blanket and saw several streaks of blood onArthur’s back, and his hand trembled.
Stella bumped into Aurora after she bought the sandwiches in the lobby.and
Aurora had her head down as she played with her phone. There was a smile on her face, she did not show the slightest hint ofremorse as someone who just did something wrong. Thinking about how weak Arthur looked while lying on the hospital bed,Stella clenched her fists tight and walked toward Aurora.
Aurora finally noticed her after Stella kept staring at her.
She put her phone away and glowered at Stella. She smirked after looking at the sandwiches in Stella’s hand. “It looks like hecould still eat after that fall, huh? He’s just pretending, right?”novelbin
Stella ignored her and went around her to go to the elevator.
Aurora scoffed. “I thought your family was very noble, yet you asked for the card back after rejecting it. The old man is so muchsmarter than all of you by compromising to get something more. It’s a’shame that my brother asked me here to apologize whennone of you even wanted that. All that you want is money. How ridiculous.”
