Take me as your hostage but let my grandmother go!”“She’s your grandmother?” The robber appeared suspicious.“Yes! I’m her granddaughter, Rachel Young! My grandmother is old and can’t be put through shock. If money is all you’re after, then it makes no difference to take me as your hostage. Let my grandmother go and she’ll get you the money!” The robber knew the existence of a beautiful young lady in the Young family. After a brief consideration, it was indeed wiser to kidnap the younger woman. Things could get serious if something bad happened to the old woman under their watch.They brought Christina away.

Go in!”Matthew was brought back to reality. “I have something to ask you.”“Is it about Aunty? Don’t worry, she’s emotionally stable—”“No, it’s about you and me.” Matthew stared at her pretty face. “Rachel, do you really want to marry me so badly?”She stared back with confusion. “Do you want to marry me despite knowing that I don’t love you?” He persisted.The woman nodded. “Matthew, I want to marry you. I still do even if you don’t love me!”“Think carefully, because I’ll never love you, not in a million years. Our marriage will only be for appearance. I’ll go on spending my nights with different women

She hurried forward upon seeing the old woman. “Grandma, I have good news!”Old Madam Young did not appear gentle as usual. “Come with me,” she said coldly.Once they were in the study, she slapped Rachel across the face. “Tell me, was it you who secretly informed the police?”The happiness in Rachel’s heart vanished instantly, and her voice was full of grievances. “Grandma, I…” She wanted to deny it, but the words were stuck in her throat under Old Madam Young’s stern stare. She lowered her gaze to the ground.Old Madam Young’s face fell. “You’re refusing to tell the truth? Alright then, you know what will happen once I look into this myself!”Rachel gave in. “Grandma, I only called the

Old Madam Young left not long after checking on Christina. She reminded Sean when he saw her out. “You can’t be here every day. Don’t forget you still have a business to run. I’ll let the servants at home take care of Christina.”“Don’t worry, I can take care of her. I won’t neglect work.”“But you can’t be at the hospital all the time or people would gossip.”“Grandma, she’s my friend and she wouldn’t have gotten injured if not to save you. I have to look after her at the hospital.” Old Madam Young understood the hidden meaning behind her grandson’s words.

Christina guessed that these calls were from Michael. His phone number had been blacklisted by her.

“We’ll see about that.” Christina gave a vague reply. She understood perhaps Old Madam Young’s intention stemmed from the idea of repaying her kindness. However, she did not want to use that as leverage, not to mention that she no longer had the intention to be with Sean anymore.Her ambiguous remark allowed the others to imagine different possibilities.Michael tightened his fingers around the spoon until his knuckles went white. He could not repress the fire raging inside him. “Have some more food. You’ve lost some weight lately.” He helped Serena to get more food.The latter was overjoyed. Christina smiled at the couple. “You treat my younger sister really well!”This was the first time she called Serena her sister. John was over the moon to hear that. Michael, on the other hand, almost choked and started coughing incessantly.John also placed more food into Christina’s bowl. It was the same food that Michael helped Serena to. Christina immediately picked the food out and cast
