Clingy Love Chapter 195
“You came between Isabel’s marriage, and now she is without a fiancé. It’s a disgrace. Nothing is more important to a girl than her reputation. Now, people will start talking because the engagement is broken off. They will say it was Isabel’s fault. Either way, you’re to take full responsibility for the matter.” Mona found the absurd claim hilarious. “Take responsibility? How so?” Mrs. Graham pushed Mona around with a cocky tone, “We’re hosting a party next week, and our guests are friends and families in the same social circle. We will clarify the reason for Isabel’s canceled engagement. We expect you to show up and tell everybody that Victor made such a decision because of you and your kids.” Mona curtly curled her lips. “Dream on.” “Well, you might want to start looking for another job, then.” Mona had a bad feeling. It seemed Mrs. Graham came prepared. “Our family holds 30% of shares in your model agency. Isabel is now the head of human resources. She can fire you any

Tim nodded his head, echoing the same sentiments. “You have put in a lot of work and gained seniority here. The best resources of Starbright are given to you. Your job prospect is looking good. Just put up with those people, okay?” “No. They’re out to get me. They’ll make me leave if I don’t concede and continue to intimidate me until they get what they want.” Ben was quite sure otherwise. “Isn’t Mr. Rockwell on your side? He has high regard for you. He will have your back.” Mona hesitated for a moment before ultimately shaking her head. “The Grahams are now a shareholder of the company. Mr. Rockwell can no longer make all the decisions, and my presence will only put him in a dilemma. I’d rather not do that to him.” Tim and Ben fell silent for a moment. Then, Tim put his hands in his pockets and walked out. “If you go, I’ll go. Moreover, I’ll apply to the same agency as you and continue to be your assistant.” Ben parroted the same. “I’m going too. We go wherever you go.”
Clingy Love Chapter 197
Stopping in her tracks, Mona turned to the side to look at Ben and asked, “He comes from a wealthy family? Tim, what does your family do?” Tim made a face and explained to Mona, “My family runs a small business, but I don’t like people knowing.” He then criticized Ben, “I told you many times that it’s my privacy.” Mona and Ben exchanged looks and ended the conversation there. “Oh, where does Grandpa Gray live? Since I have time now, let’s pay him a visit.” “Sure. Grandpa Gray doesn’t live too far from here. It’s just three bus stops away.” The trio got onto the public bus and soon got down in an old neighborhood. This was Grandpa Gray’s home address. When they got to the place, Ben knocked on the door, but no one answered on the other side. Tim pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Grandpa Gray might be having a nap. I should give him a call to see what’s going on.” However, no one answered the phone either. The neighbor next door heard the activity outside and

Mona watched on with her eyes tearing up. It was now the intelligence era, and mobile phones had become part of everyday life. Nevertheless, it was not easy for the older generation to make sense of the smartphone. The old couple were like children learning to walk as they navigated in uncharted territory for their hospital visit. Mona drew close and hunched down to hug Grandma Beth. “Don’t panic, Granny. We’ll be with you throughout. Baby steps.” Mona’s words calmed Grandma Beth down. The old lady stopped crying. The trio split the tasks between them in registering Grandpa Gray in the system, admitting him into the hospital, and taking him to take medical tests on various floors. It took several hours, but Grandpa finally got a hospital bed. Grandpa Gray had a rather complicated illness. Several medical experts ran tests and left the ward to discuss a treatment plan. Judging by their somber looks, things must not be looking good. Ben approached the doctors and said, “Do

Ben asked Mona, “Mona, what do you think we should do? Are we just going to give up?” Mona cleared her mind and contemplated for a moment. Maybe they should give it another push and fight for the last glimmer of hope. “Ben, I understand where you’re coming from, and I can relate to what you’re feeling. Since you insist, we can try and see if there are other hospitals that will accept Grandpa Gray as a patient. What do you think?” “Other hospitals? This is the most authoritative hospital in the city.” With his arms folded, Tim slowly opened up. “I think you’ve got the wrong idea about that. The best hospital in the city is Sacred Heart Hospital, a former medic hospital which is not usually available to civilians.”“Sacred Heart Hospital? That explains why I’ve never heard of that hospital before.” Mona replied, “Sacred Heart? The name sounds familiar.” She dug deep into her memory before it came back to her that the Fontaines sought medical services from that hospital. Thad

“You’re here, Mr. Fontaine.” Mona followed everybody’s line of vision to the door, where a man in a sharp suit stood. The dim light from the hallway bounced off his prominent facial features, giving an illusion of a God descending from Heaven. Thaddeus walked into the office with a presence that commanded the room. Standing next to Mona, he gave the new authoritative figures a nod. “How’s the patient doing?” He listened to the experts’ opinions with a hand around Mona’s waist. Thaddeus smiled faintly and said, “My wife is proficient in alternative medicine. If possible, let her participate in the treatment. I trust she will be a great assistance to you.” Thaddeus’s words blew the room full of people away. It was not just Mona’s knowledge of alternative medicine that everybody was surprised about, but also that Mona was Thaddeus’s wife. Freaking out, Mona pushed the man away and dissociated herself from him. “You’re funny, Mr. Fontaine. When did I become Mrs. Fontaine?”

Mona walked into the ward. She gently patted Grandma Beth’s shoulder and whispered, “Grandma, take a rest first. I’ll watch Grandpa Gray for you and call you when he wakes up.” Grandma Beth opened her dazed eyes and looked confusedly at Mona and Thaddeus in the ward. She rubbed her eyes and realized the pretty girl in front of her was Mona, who had helped her. All of a sudden, Grandma Beth burst out crying like a child. Mona was shocked. She hurriedly hugged Grandma Beth and coaxed her. “Grandma, everything is okay now. We’re here. Let us know if you need anything.” “Thank you. You’re great people. Thank you so much.” Grandma Beth stood up and grabbed Mona’s wrists. She landed on both knees and was ready to kneel to Mona. “Grandma, don’t do this. Please get up.” Mona anxiously pulled Grandma Beth. Thaddeus, however, went forward and directly carried Grandma Beth. He made her sit on the sofa. Thaddeus squatted down and looked up at Grandma Beth. His voice was low and carri

A sinister and dark look flashed across Thaddeus’s eyes. His voice carried a hint of anger as he asked, “Did he try to commit suicide again?” “That wasn’t the case this time. His emotions have been much more settled, which feels quite unusual. However, he suddenly went on a hunger strike today and said he must see you, or he would starve himself to death.” “Let him, then.” “Ah, Mr. Fontaine, that’s not very good, is it…?” Thaddeus rubbed his eyebrows and suppressed the anger in his heart. “I’ll be right there.” Before he left, he arranged for a nurse to look after the two elderly. He did not tell Mona and quickly left in his car. Thaddeus drove to the outskirts of the city and stopped in front of a dark gray courtyard. Through the gate, the courtyard was full of patients wearing striped hospital gowns. They were different from ordinary patients as they were mentally ill patients. The gate opened, and Thaddeus walked in. He crossed the courtyard and went straight upstairs.
