Chapter 1392

Author: Chweety
"Ms. Shrill, just came from the hospital, I see?" Grant's words caused Shirley to immediately straighten as her sharp gaze landed on him. "You've been following me?"

"Do I need to follow you, Ms. Shrill?" Grant replied with a faint smile. His demeanor was infuriatingly calm. Shirley's frustration surged at his composed appearance. "What exactly do you want?"

"Nothing much, just pleased to see you doing so well these days."

"You… Grant, you're trying to get revenge on me, aren't you?" Shirley trembled with anger. "I've told you before, I didn't destroy your family. Those rumors out there are nothing but lies."

"Did I say you destroyed my family?" Grant's gaze lifted, his eyes so cold that Shirley could not suppress the chill running down her spine.

"I…"

"My father's flight lands here today. Care to guess why he's coming?"

"How would I know?" Shirley's lips trembled as she spoke, her eyes still avoiding his.

Grant let out a derisive laugh. "You'll understand when you see him soon

    Grant massaged his temples, looking visibly annoyed. He grabbed Juliet's wrist firmly and cast a cold glance back at Shirley and Kresten. "Kresten, take Ms. Jones to my father's room and make sure she stays there. She's not to leave without my permission.""Understood, sir!" Kresten responded promptly.Grant did not let go of Juliet's hand as he pulled her along. She raised an eyebrow as a sly smile tugged at her lips. She said theatrically, "Oh, so that old woman isn't your new flame! You should've said so earlier! I got jealous for no reason. I was so sour it nearly killed me!""Shut up!" Grant barked, his patience visibly waning."But I missed you so much! It's been forever since I last saw you, and you know what they say—absence makes the heart grow fonder. Didn't you miss me, Mr. Grant?""Juliet!" His voice was sharper now."Why are you so mad, Mr. Grant? I admit that I stayed away these past few days to test you. I never expected you to be so—""If you call me 'Mr. Grant'

    When Juliet said those words, her eyes sparkled with mischief, and she looked as vibrant as a rose about to bloom.With a bold smile, she winked at Grant. "I was just on my way to see Mr. Kolsby. If you hadn't stopped me earlier, I might already be with him by now.""Weren't you supposed to wait for me?" Grant's voice carried a trace of disdain. Juliet froze momentarily before flashing a seductive smile. "Mr. Grant, are you jealous?"Grant frowned. "I don't indulge in such things."Juliet shrugged nonchalantly. "You're here having so much fun with me. Aren't you afraid that dear old woman might get impatient waiting?"Grant narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab her, but Juliet deftly dodged. "Mr. Grant, don't be in such a rush. The night is long. Wait for me to come back, okay?"Blowing him a playful kiss, Juliet quickly ran off before Grant could react.Grant stood there, frowning at the direction she disappeared as his mood sunk deeper."Sir!" Kresten approached him, look

    Kelly reluctantly stepped out of the room, her expression filled with resentment as she cast one last glare at Shirley.Grant noticed her attitude and, after ensuring the door was securely closed, turned to Kresten. "Stand guard here. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave."Grant then led Kelly to her room. When they entered, they saw Seth already asleep. He turned his cold gaze to Kelly. He then sat down with an imposing presence that made the air feel heavy.Kelly fidgeted under his scrutiny, her anxiety growing."Go on. Didn't you have plenty to say earlier?""Why did you bring that woman back here?" Kelly's voice trembled with confusion and frustration.Grant met her eyes calmly. "Dad is coming to see her today. Does that answer satisfy you?"Kelly's face turned pale at his words. Grant stood, looking down at her. "Until he arrives, you are not to see her. Afterward, whatever you decide to do is your business. I won't interfere."With that, Grant left w

    "I don't know what you're talking about!" Shirley snapped and tried to leave, but Flynn stopped her. "I've looked after Kelly for so many years. That should repay the debt for you saving my wife's life back then."Shirley's hand froze on the doorknob, gripping it tightly."Back then, you saved my wife. In return, I raised Kelly and settled that debt. But..." Flynn paused, his tone hardening. "The grievances between you and Harrison shouldn't involve the children.""I didn't want to hurt them. That's why I did what I did. You don't understand—Harrison is a madman! He wouldn't believe the child I carried was his. He doubted Kelly was his all along. I... He treated me so horribly. I was afraid he'd harm Kelly, so I...""And what about Noelle?""How do you know about that?" Shirley asked in shock. Her lips were trembling. "How do you know about Noelle?""When you left Capiton for Carvonia, my wife visited the Shaws to see that child. Later, I sent my son to the Shaws as well," Flynn

    Sean nodded. "Alright, please have a seat first."Charles helped Noelle settle into a chair before turning his attention to Sean, who began, "My Uncle Harrison seems to have had some misunderstanding with Shirley. I don't know the full story of what happened earlier at the house. What I do know is that my uncle was injured in his younger days—stabbed near the heart."Although the blade didn't hit any vital organs, the heart is a delicate area." Sean pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice heavy."You heard what the doctor said earlier. He underwent a heart transplant years ago. He probably doesn't have much time left."Sean glanced at Noelle with a somber expression. "I think that's why Uncle Harrison is so adamant about reconnecting with you."Noelle's lips trembled as she processed his words. She had thought herself indifferent toward this man, but hearing Sean's explanation struck a deep, unexpected chord. After a moment of struggle, she managed to ask, "What do you mean? He…

    "Don't worry, everything will be fine."When they got home, Charles noticed Noelle was still unable to sleep. He pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back. "Don't stress about it, alright?""But…" Noelle's eyes reddened as she spoke. "Am I useless? I thought I wouldn't feel anything. After all, I'm an adult now, and those feelings seemed so distant, almost irrelevant. But when Sean said he might not have much time left, I felt a pang of sadness.""Feeling sad is normal. Blood ties are impossible to sever, aren't they?" Charles sighed softly. "You've done well. Get some sleep. Tomorrow, when you wake up, visit him at the hospital and share what's on your mind. Alright?"Noelle hesitated. Her lips trembled slightly, but she eventually nodded. "Alright.""Good girl." Charles kissed her forehead gently. "Now, try to sleep."Noelle did not have the most peaceful sleep that night, but perhaps due to Charles' presence, she managed to rest until 7:00 or 8:00 am. When Charles ca

    Fran answered immediately, but Harrison's first question took him by surprise as it concerned Shirley. He replied, "Sir, your condition was critical yesterday. I was only focused on you and didn't see where Ms. Shrill went."Harrison's gaze darkened. "Find her immediately. If you can't, don't bother coming back."He hung up the phone, only to meet Noelle's calm gaze. Her expression was serene, but the stillness in her eyes carried an unsettling weight.Harrison shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, feeling inexplicably flustered. "Um…""Can I ask you something?" Noelle broke the silence."Of course. Ask away!" Harrison set the phone down. "Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."Noelle smiled faintly. "Don't make promises so quickly. What if it's something you can't fulfill?"Harrison froze at her smile. It reminded him too much of a young Shirley. He tugged at the corners of his lips, forcing a weak smile. "You look so much like her when she was younger."Noelle's smile fad

    Harrison furrowed his brows. "If you have something to say, spit it out.""How's your health doing?" Fran hesitated."I'm perfectly fine!" Harrison replied tersely.Despite his words, Fran could not shake his concern. After a moment of careful thought, he cautiously said, "After Ms. Shrill left the hospital, she wandered aimlessly along the streets. Later… Grant took her away.""What did you just say?" Harrison's eyes snapped open. "Grant Anderson?""Yes. Flynn was also there. Ms. Shrill was at a hotel with them, but we don't know what transpired between her, Flynn, and Grant. When she left, her mental state seemed off. Our people couldn't get too close, so the details are unclear. After she left Flynn, she returned directly to Springwood Garden and hasn't come out since."Harrison's mind raced while he was torn between relief and unease. "And she… Who's there?" His innate sense of caution made him sit upright.At that moment, Fran moved to the door and opened it. Seeing the fig

    "Mr. Canfield, I hope you understand that I'm Bobby's legal mother. I've cared for him for three years," Liliana said, her gaze fixed firmly on Yankel. "I'm sorry, but I won't agree to this.""Ms. Hoffman." Yankel's expression grew colder. "I hope you understand too that Bobby is Samara's and my child. He's our biological son. That's a fact you can't change. Besides, Ms. Hoffman, you're still single. If this goes to court, do you think the judge will side with you? Who can provide Bobby with a complete and happy family?"Liliana's face turned pale. "I…""Ms. Hoffman, I'm not trying to make this difficult, but I hope you see where I'm coming from. I've already missed the first three years of his life. I don't want to miss the rest."Liliana's grip on her coffee cup tightened. She bit her lip. "But can you guarantee Bobby will be happy with you? You've been married to the mayor's daughter for years. You have children of your own. Are you sure Bobby will feel truly loved in that unfam

    That afternoon, Yankel showed up as scheduled. Bobby was fast asleep at the time, and Liliana sat quietly by his side reading a book. When she saw how peacefully he slept, a warm smile spread across her face.A knock came at the door. Liliana looked up and spotted Yankel standing at the entrance. She quickly set down her book and stepped out. "Mr. Canfield."Yankel glanced at her, his gaze settling on her calmly. "Thank you for taking care of Bobby during this time, Ms. Hoffman. Is he…""He's asleep," Liliana replied before he could finish. "He was waiting for you earlier, but it looks like you're a little late."She motioned to her wristwatch. "Bobby always naps around this time."Yankel nodded. "Sorry, there were some things at the company I had to finish dealing with…"Liliana nodded in understanding. "Would you like to go in and see him now, Mr. Canfield? Or…""I'll wait until he wakes up," Yankel said, not wanting to disturb Bobby's rest. He then looked at her. "Ms. Hoffman

    Four years had passed."Mommy, Mommy."Bobby tugged at Liliana's sleeve, noticing she was zoning out again. He reached up with his tiny arms and legs, trying to climb onto her.Before he could get far, a large hand gently grabbed him. Bobby's little hands waved in the air as he called out, "Uncle Charles, Uncle…"Charles chuckled softly, scooping Bobby up in one arm.Noelle walked over just then, and the moment Bobby saw her, he reached out eagerly, ready to leap into her arms. "Aunt Noelle! Aunt Noelle!"Liliana snapped out of her thoughts and looked up in surprise when she saw Charles and Noelle. "Charles, Noelle… What are you two doing here?""We should be asking you that," Noelle replied with a smile, her eyes settling on Liliana's face. "Why didn't you tell us about Bobby's surgery?"Liliana gave a faint smile. "I only got Yankel's call today. He said he's willing to donate his bone marrow to Bobby. But they're still running tests, and I'm worried…"Even though Yankel w

    "When do you want to leave?"Liliana's gaze was a little vacant. She did not speak right away.Charles waited for a while and noticed her eyes drifting toward the window. It was already winter, and the air outside had grown colder—just like the chill settling into Liliana's heart."As soon as possible," she finally said softly after a long silence."Alright. I'll make the arrangements to get you out of the country quickly.""Thank you, Charles." Liliana paused. "My mother…""Don't worry. I'll make sure someone takes good care of her.""That's good." Liliana relaxed slightly, then turned her eyes back to him. "Charles, I had a fiancé before… He treated me very well. If anything happens to him, please help him.""I will."Charles quietly listened to her as she gave instructions on a few matters, but he waited a long time without hearing her mention anything about herself."Liliana, Joanna is in my hands now. Do you want to handle her yourself, or…""Charles, let the law deal w

    "Mr. Hoffman!"It was Charles Hoffman! However, Liliana was just an illegitimate child. Why would someone as important as Charles be so affected by all of this?Joanna looked up in terror. "No… You can't do this to me. You can't!"Charles gazed at her with cold disdain. "I can't?"He raised his hand. Andrew immediately stepped forward and handed him a dagger.Charles's frigid eyes fell on Joanna. "When you picked up a knife and used it on Liliana, did you ever stop to think you couldn't?""No, you can't treat me this way! What you're doing is illegal! Liliana is just an illegitimate child! She brought shame to your family! I did this for your sake, to help you, I—ah!"Pain exploded in Joanna's shoulder. Charles had thrown the dagger straight into her scapula, and she screamed before immediately passing out.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Wake her up with salt water."His voice sounded like it had come from the depths of hell. He glanced once more at Joanna and gave the order to A

    "Liliana, you have to get better. When you do, you can do whatever you want, Liliana…"Just then, the door to the hospital room flew open, and a powerful punch landed squarely on Sean's face.He staggered back a step. When the next punch came swinging toward him, Sean caught it in mid-air. "Liliana is sleeping. If you want to hit me, do it outside."Charles lowered his fist, but the fury in his eyes was sharper than ever. "If anything happens to Liliana, don't blame me for forgetting our brotherhood."Sean nodded. "I understand."He had always known what Charles was capable of. "This was my fault. I'll fix it and give you an answer you'll be satisfied with.""Oh yeah?" Charles sneered coldly. "What about Savannah?"Sean's head snapped up. "Charles, she's my mother. If you want revenge, come at me. Kill me, torture me—whatever you want."Charles curled his lips. "You think I won't?""I know you will," Sean said.He turned to look at Liliana lying in the bed. She had not woken

    "Sean… promise me… Take revenge for me." Liliana shakily reached out, but before her hand could even touch Sean's face, it dropped lifelessly to the ground."Liliana… Liliana!" Sean shouted like a possessed man. He scooped her into his arms and rushed to the car.In the car, Peter saw the state Liliana was in and froze in shock. "Sean…""Drive. Go to the hospital. Right now! The hospital!" Sean's voice trembled with fear.He was terrified. For the first time, he was truly terrified.Everything Liliana said moments ago echoed in his mind. The look in her eyes, the lifelessness of her body… She was slipping away from him.Sean could not imagine it. If Liliana really left him—if she truly died—what would he do?His entire body trembled as he held her cold, stiff form tightly in his arms. "Liliana… I won't let anything happen to you. I swear, I won't."Peter stepped on the gas. The car roared through the rain. He glanced at the two people in the backseat and quietly shook his head.

    Liliana did not know how long she had been lying on the ground. Just when she thought she was going to die there, a voice suddenly reached her ears. It was so close, yet it felt so far away."Liliana, Liliana!"Sean had felt uneasy all day during his business trip, as if something bad was about to happen. He could not shake the feeling off. However, being away, he had no way of knowing what was going on.When Jasmine called to tell him that Savannah had taken Liliana away, the unease in his chest surged uncontrollably.He had always known Savannah disliked Liliana, but he never expected her to actually take her away.There was no time to catch a flight. Sean drove straight back, speeding for over five hours to return to Brookville. The moment he arrived, he went home to confront Savannah.When he questioned her, he learned that she had handed Liliana over to Joanna. Savannah had reassured him repeatedly, claiming that Joanna was just going to help with the abortion and that, as a

    What gave Liliana the right? She was nothing more than an illegitimate daughter, so how could she deserve Sean's affection?The cold surgical instruments stirred inside Liliana's womb. Her entire body convulsed from the pain, but Joanna looked on with sheer satisfaction.Finally, when the child inside Liliana had turned into nothing but a pool of blood, Joanna's gaze turned chilling as she stared at her. "Ha! Liliana, now that the baby's gone, do you think Sean will still marry you?""You lunatic...! I won't let you get away with this. I won't ever let you go."Joanna, still holding the scalpel, slashed another cut across Liliana's face. "I won't let you die that easily. I'll take your child, then destroy your face. Look at yourself. Go on, take a look!"She pulled out a mirror from God knew where and held it up in front of Liliana.Liliana, already in despair, showed no reaction upon seeing the bloodied mess that was her face. The pain in her abdomen was so overwhelming that she
