However, Jordan didn't dare to question Thaddeus' decision. He simply thought that Thaddeus should've hired an expert cardiologist to have a look at Amy a long time ago. Every time Amy's conditions acted up in the past, Jordan thought she was faking it.After Jordan left, Thaddeus took the share transfer agreement and looked through it. Then, he finally went upstairs with his things.Jessamine was serving Thomas breakfast. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, it was clear that she hadn't slept all night. A small table was set up on the hospital bed for the food. Thomas was now in weak condition and needed nutritional medicines to sustain himself. He could only eat liquid foods.Jessamine tried to feed him some stew, but Thomas refused her. She looked at the barely-eaten stew and sighed.Thaddeus watched them from outside the door for a few moments. A nurse who had left to fetch water saw him. "You're here, Mr. Thaddeus!" the nurse yelled. However, neither Thomas nor Jess
Jessamine glanced at the folder in Thaddeus' hand from the corner of her eye and knew he was serious. She didn't want to maintain pleasantries with him, either. They weren't on terms where they could be cordial with each other.She couldn't mellow out Thaddeus' cold personality even after three years. There was no point in getting him to say how he truly felt. She might as well discuss terms with him so that she could profit from their divorce.After three years of marriage, it would be good to get some money from him. After all, she had two children to raise. Since he had offered to give her anything and was willing to give her the shares, she would sign the share transfer agreement."I'll sign it now!" Jessamine stopped walking, but she still wouldn't meet his eyes.After a moment of silence, Thaddeus asked, "Should we do it in the car?"He had parked his car in the hospital parking lot. When it came to important documents like this, he believed that they needed to handle this p
Jessamine scoffed. "I've done no such thing. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have the chance to get his number in the first place."Sasha was so angry that she tried to slap her. When she was about to land a blow, someone grabbed her arm.Then, Thaddeus' folder fell to the ground with a plop.Meanwhile, Jessamine reached out her hand toward Sasha. However, when she saw Thaddeus grab Sasha's arm, she pulled away.Sasha stomped her foot angrily when she couldn't land a hit on Jessamine.Then, Corey and Heather approached them. Corey scolded, "Stop it! Don't argue in the hospital. You two better stay home and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to leave home for a week."Sasha waved her hands and retorted, "Dad, why do you and Grandpa always take her side? Jessamine is the one at fault. She sabotaged my relationship with Jerome, and now, he won't even talk to me. Why aren't you lecturing her? She should be locked up at home for a year! Hmph!"However, Corey simply r
Jessamine only relaxed after she entered the elevator. She felt she had made too big of a demand—5% of Holt Jewelry's shares was a lot. She made this request back then because she was angry and thought Thaddeus wouldn't agree to her terms.Even if he were willing to give it, he would still state some terms on his own. She didn't expect him to readily give her 5% of his shares to her as compensation for their divorce.This made Jessamine understand how important Amy was to Thaddeus. He was willing to give up a quarter of his net worth for Amy's sake. He didn't even try to bargain with something else.Jessamine pulled her hand away from his grip. She looked at him through the elevator's reflection and asked, "Do you want to rethink this?"Thaddeus looked forward and met her gaze in the reflection. "You can just take the shares. Since this document is ruined, I'll get Jordan to bring another one. We'll sign it again."Then, they stopped talking. After exiting the elevator, they walke
Jessamine now considered Thaddeus to be her ex-husband. "When did Mrs. Holt leave?" he asked.Lana placed the broth on the table. Then, she put some bowls and tableware and arranged them neatly. At this moment, she realized Thaddeus and Jessamine had encountered another problem in their relationship.Since Thaddeus didn't know Jessamine was traveling, they probably had another fight.Lana recalled her conversation with Jessamine and replied, "She left with her suitcase the morning after you both returned from the cruise. She said she was going on a trip and would return in a few days. I thought you knew about that."Thaddeus' expression turned dark. At this moment, he didn't have the mood to eat dinner anymore. He was too pissed for that. They had many chances to discuss this in the hospital, but Jessamine hadn't mentioned anything. She probably felt that he didn't need to know about this. She was already free from the marriage, and the two of them merely needed to complete the f
"Grandpa, don't say that. It's just a dream. You didn't actually see her." Jessamine hurriedly wiped her tears away.Thomas smiled kindly at her comment. "You never know. People are sometimes able to see the deceased when they're in a weak state. I really saw Willow, and she said she wanted to end her friendship with me," he said sadly. He began to tell Jessamine his story. "I had been classmates with Ted's grandmother and your grandmother, and we even passed the college entrance exam together. "Back then, the three of us were the only ones who had passed, and I scored higher than the both of them. We then applied to go to Zenville University of Finance together. We've been friends for decades!"Thomas was in tears as he continued, "I'm truly incompetent. I can't even discipline my children and grandchildren, so I still lost to her in the end. It's fine. That's how amazing of a person she was."Jessamine burst into tears. "Grandpa, don't say that!"She touched Thomas' forehead.
Joe and the two caregivers stood aside, unable to intervene. Jessamine handled everything herself. She wanted to repay Thomas' kindness to her before she left.Thomas was the only relative she could trust.By the time Thaddeus arrived, Jessamine had already fed Thomas. They were sitting next to each other while she told him jokes. She never had a sense of humor, and her jokes weren't funny to Thaddeus at all. At the very least, they sounded dull to him. However, Thomas kept laughing at them.The atmosphere in the ward turned cold when Thaddeus showed up, and both of them fell silent.Thaddeus felt helpless. These two were really isolating him. They even left him out of a joke."How are you feeling today, Grandpa?" he asked, walking to Thomas' bed.Thomas was already very disappointed in his grandson."I felt better when you weren't around."Thaddeus was pissed, but since Thomas was willing to talk to him, things probably weren't that serious. He didn't know what had come over Tho
Amy glanced at the door from her position and saw Thaddeus glaring at them coldly. She felt awkward as she glanced at Colin. "Dad, stop talking about this…"Colin was still overjoyed that Amy was pregnant with the Holt family's heir. He didn't notice Thaddeus' arrival at all. "Why should I? Everyone gives their family possessions to their sons, but I don't have a son. If I had one, I would—"As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions shifted.Colin then realized he had slipped out and said what he thought.He cleared his throat and continued, "Amy, just be Thaddeus' wife with peace of mind. Don't forget to help out my business and convince Thaddeus to help. I don't have much identity or power, so it's hard to maintain my business. "My company only managed to reach this point because I always go drinking to maintain my clientele. My liver is about to fail from the amount of alcohol I've been drinking."Amy's face darkened. She knew Colin loved her the most and always agreed
