“Then, when Brettley’s children came back, I thought I could finally enjoy my late years. I never would’ve thought…”
Granny Morrison sighed.
“Whether it was you or Brettley, I carefully protected you both when you were young. I was afraid that things might happen to you, that you might suffer in my hands…
“I never would’ve thought that you could be so cruel to Brettley’s child. Since you have no regard for my great-grandson, from today onward, you are no son of mine! “
Granny Morrison stood up coldly. She turned and looked at Brettley. “Bring Nellie in. It’s windy outside.”
Brettley furrowed his brows and nodded.
When he reached the door, Brettley stopped in his tracks.
“Mr. Adrian Morrison, because you are Granny’s son and my father, all of your travel expenses around the world have been covered by the Morrison Group all these years.
“Starting from today, including your car, all of your assets in the bank will be frozen. Since you never thought of me as your son, don’t try to take a single cent away from me in the future.”
Brettley then carried Nellie and entered.
Adrian, sitting on the floor, narrowed his gaze heatedly.
In the hospital.
Bethan initially wanted to go see Nigel directly, but Gwen stopped her.
Gwen passed a mirror to Bethan. “Look at yourself now. If you see Nigel now, do you think it’ll be more of a relief for him or you’ll make him be more worried?”
Bethan looked at herself in the mirror in a daze.
Her skin was pale and yellowish, and there was no spirit in her eyes. She looked haggard.
“You also think that you’re not in a good condition, don’t you?”
Gwen threw the phone to Bethan.
“I just asked the doctors. Nigel is still resting. When he wakes up, he’ll call you. Communicate with the phone for now. Go and see Nigel only when your body is in a better condition.”
Bethan was silent for a while before nodding obediently.
She accepted the phone, wanting to put it down when she saw a news notification on her phone.
(Lost Heiress of the Craig Family, Bonnie Craig, to have Wedding of the Century with Childhood Sweetheart Jason Lane in Three Days.]
Bethan sneered.
Brettley still dared to say that he had nothing to do with Jason? Without his help, how would Jason dare to have such a high-profile wedding after he killed her child?
Looking at the photo of Jason and Bonnie, who stood happily in a wedding gown, Bethan found it taunting.
She lost two children, with one still on the brink of death.
However, Jason, the man who almost killed her and her three children six years ago and also killed her child a month ago, could happily stand next to Bonnie in a wedding photo, having a huge wedding ceremony.
The internet even came up with a beautiful childhood sweetheart love story for both of them.
Looking at the articles, Bethan only thought that the romantic love story was rather insulting.
Why did this happen?
Why did Jason get to have such a beautiful happy ending when he hurt her and her children?
Why did she have to suffer so much when she never harmed anyone?
Bethan took a deep breath and looked at Jason and Bonnie’s wedding date seriously.
It was a week later.
Meaning, she still had a week to get Bonnie to see Jason’s true colors!
Bethan gripped her phone tightly.
Those who had previously hurt her and her children, whether it be Brettley or Jason, she would not let them go that easily!
Jason was only hoping to marry Bonnie, then secretly have her killed in the future so he could inherit the millions of her family wealth, was it not?
Bethan just had to drag Jason into the depths of hell instead!
At that moment, Bethan’s phone rang, called by a foreign number. She could barely think of anything a s she immediately picked up the phone and said, “
Nigel! “
“It’s me.”
The person that replied to her was not Nigel but Malcolm.
Bethan was stunned. “You…”
“I heard that you woke up,”
Malcolm sounded calm. “Are you alright?”
Bethan held onto the phone tightly. She instantly had mixed feelings.
She pursed her lips. “I’m…fine.”
“A month ago when I sent Nigel to Banyan City, I went to see you, too, but you were still unconscious at that time. I initially wanted to wait for you to wake up, but you didn’t gain consciousness even after a week. Things here were urgent, so I went back.”
Bethan was slightly touched upon Malcolm’s words.
“It’s fine.”
Bethan always understood how busy Malcolm was.
“Anyway, nothing much has happened to me.”
“I want to tell you I’m sorry.”
Malcolm seemed to be standing on the balcony, his voice faded, accompanied by the sound of the wind.
“At that time, Brettley used ten percent of the Morrison Group shares to request to see Nigel. I never wanted to agree to it, but my grandmother–you know how she is. Once she agreed to it, I could only obey the deal. I couldn’t let others think that the Quinn family are a bunch of people who renege on their word…”
Then, Malcolm sighed. “If not, I wouldn’t have let him take Nigel away.”
Bethan closed her eyes and sighed heavily. “I understand.”
The two of them were silent for a long while before Malcolm took a deep breath and asked, “When are you planning to come back? If Nigel’s situation is bad, you can tell me anytime. I can’t do anything for Neil, but I’ve already spoken with my family. I’ll do a huge one for Nigel’s funeral.”
Bethan’s hand held onto the phone so tightly that her knuckles were white.
Nigel was still alive! He was still alive and well. How could they talk about things like a funeral?
Waves of emotions washed over Bethan, but Malcolm was still the person that rescued her and her children. She also knew that what he said was not intended to irritate her.
Bethan gritted her teeth hard. She tried to contain her emotions.
“Malcolm, I don’t want to discuss this with you when Nigel is still alive.”
Malcolm, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while.
“I don’t mean to offend you.”
“I know, “
Bethan closed her eyes and continued, “but I still don’t wish to talk about it.”
“As long as he is still alive, I ’11 never give up hope of curing him.”
Malcolm, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while. “Bethan, I know that you might not be able to accept this fact, but you just had a miscarriage a month ago. Even if you try hard with Brettley, it might not be in time…”
Bethan closed her eyes. “I don’t want to argue with you.”
She tried her best to reign in her emotions.
