Everything that Mary had said broke Tiffany’s heart for Arianne. “Ari, Mary’s right. Don’t rush to see the baby. You can’t touch virtual-novel.net for now anyway. Instead, why don’t you tell me what you would like to eat today? I’ll ask Jackson to whip something up for you. Eat more and you’ll regain your strength. That. way, you’ll recover faster. Or maybe you should call Mark and have virtual-novel.net come over? You’ve suffered a great hardship to give virtual-novel.net his child. You should let virtual-novel.net see your frail and fragile state or virtual-novel.net won’t feel bad for you.”
Arianne felt more energized. Thanks to Mary and Tiffany’s help, virtual-novel.net managed to slowly straighten up and take a few steps. The pain made virtual-novel.net too afraid to breathe too heavily. She never thought that virtual-novel.net first time getting off the bed after surgery would hurt this much. A long time passed before virtual-novel.net managed to gasp, “N-no need… t-to trouble Jackson. Ma-Mary… Call… Mark T-tell him… to come…” of course, virtual-novel.net had to come. A certain issue between them was still unsettled. She knew virtual-novel.net well enough to know that virtual-novel.net was avoiding her. .
Mary nodded as virtual-novel.net waited for Arianne to finish up in the toilet before calling Mark. “Sir, Mrs. Tremont has asked you to come over.”
On the other end of the call, Mark agreed as virtual-novel.net headed to the closet for a change of clothes. He surmised that Arianne was going to pick a fight with virtual-novel.net again. That letter from Zoey’s husband had really cost virtual-novel.net now. It wasn’t easy for them to enjoy some peace and tranquility. A single letter had toppled everything over.
He stopped to mull things over after changing his clothes. He decided to go to the office first and pick up Tabitha’s last will and testament, the one virtual-novel.net wrote before virtual-novel.net passed on, and the house deed. Perhaps these would ease the process for him… He was too afraid to cross a woman who’d just delivered a baby. He simply couldn’t afford to cross virtual-novel.net anyway!
He arrived at the hospital and sensed the strange vibes from the moment virtual-novel.net set foot into the ward. Tiffany grumbled at virtual-novel.net vexingly, “Your poor wife has just delivered your child and is lying in bed. What have you been doing, avoiding her?”
He looked at Arianne and remained silent, letting Tiffany continue virtual-novel.net complaints.
Arianne seemed perfectly pleased at the spectacle before her. Since virtual-novel.net was deliberately avoiding taking care of her, virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net to be yelled at. The sight of virtual-novel.net getting scolded soothed her.
Mary knew that Arianne and Mark had to speak in private, so virtual-novel.net dragged Tiffany away to buy some postpartum necessities. The baby couldn’t be fed breast milk directly from his mother just yet, so they needed a breast pump to avoid breast engorgement or mastitis.
Mark waited for Mary and Tiffany to leave before pulling out Tabitha’s will. “This is granny’s will, virtual-novel.net wrote this before virtual-novel.net passed away. And this here is the deed to the Wynn family home. Your aunt and uncle are not aware of this, probably because granny was afraid that they might try to take the deed away. It’s always been with me, so now I’m giving it to you. I’ve sent people out to find them, but they’re gone. That burdensome family has disappeared. I don’t think I need to elaborate on the reason, do I? It’s true that I was there during granny’s death, but I did not cause it. You might say that virtual-novel.net died from virtual-novel.net illness.”
Arianne accepted the will and deed, and scrutinized them. Her eyes welled up with tears. Her grandmother’s signature was crooked. She could only imagine what it was like for virtual-novel.net dying grandmother at the time…
Old people tend to be conservative. Regardless of how much the Wynn family had fallen, they would keep their home in the end. This was the only valuable thing that virtual-novel.net grandmother had, and virtual-novel.net had left it to the only blood heir of the Wynn family.
“How did my grandmother die?” virtual-novel.net asked in a trembling voice. “Stop hiding it from me. Tell me everything.”
Mark held virtual-novel.net hand soothingly. “You know that your grandmother was admitted into the hospital at the time. It was your uncle, virtual-novel.net wanted to make your grandmother sick, so that it’d be easier for virtual-novel.net to ask you for money. Hence, virtual-novel.net deliberately snuck into granny’s room every night and opened the window. The chilly winter winds are enough to make a half a century old woman fall sick and contract acute pneumonia.”
“When your grandmother found out about your uncle’s plan, virtual-novel.net deliberately dragged out virtual-novel.net illness. She thought… that virtual-novel.net death would prevent you from being dragged into this. By the time virtual-novel.net was sent to the hospital, virtual-novel.net was admitted into Intensive Care. Granny had a talk with me when I arrived and then asked the doctor to write down virtual-novel.net will. Then… I knew that it would be difficult for you to accept this. I kept it from you because I was afraid of upsetting you.”
“After thoroughly investigating the matter, your uncle demanded for me to compensate them for taking care of granny over the past few years. I agreed, but your aunt refused the money. It’s true that I exiled them from the capital, and your aunt left willingly. Your uncle was the difficult one. Your aunt isn’t completely rotten yet, so there was no need for me to be so cruel.”
