Allegra arrived very quickly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, evidently, she’d just come from a dinner engagement.
As virtual-novel.net entered the hospital room, Isaac exited the next room and walked to the corridor.
When Margaret saw that Allegra had come, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare raise virtual-novel.net gaze to look at her.
But Andrew went straight to the point and said, “Allegra, Mom is already in such a state. As virtual-novel.net daughter, shouldn’t you take some responsibility?”
Daisy also frowned and added, “Your home in the Cloud Nine Villas is huge, it wouldn’t matter if one more person moved in. You can hire a few nurses to look after her. Andrew and I would be very grateful.”
Looking at Margaret in the hospital bed and then at Andrew and his wife, Allegra suddenly burst into loud laughter.
She turned to Margaret, muttering in an icy tone, “I remember virtual-novel.net saying a long time ago that I was no longer virtual-novel.net daughter, and Bella isn’t virtual-novel.net granddaughter. She called virtual-novel.net a bastard child and a lowlife. Now you think of me only when you need money and someone to look after you…”
“Sorry, but I’m very busy with work. Not to mention, I have a husband and a daughter. When it comes to things like this, we need to sit down and discuss.” She crossed virtual-novel.net arms, looking at them so coldly, like they were just strangers to her.
She wasn’t cruel, but Margaret and Andrew had broken virtual-novel.net heart a long time ago.
Andrew wanted to say something, but Allegra glared at virtual-novel.net and said icily, “Andrew, don’t even try to give me that mother-daughter bullshit. I won’t buy it. Your family is now wealthy and influential, so why are you looking for me?”
Margaret began to sob in the hospital bed.
Back when she’d mistreated Allegra, virtual-novel.net didn’t care because, no matter what, virtual-novel.net thought she’d still have virtual-novel.net son and virtual-novel.net daughter-in-law. But virtual-novel.net didn’t expect virtual-novel.net heart to hurt this badly when virtual-novel.net heard those words come from Allegra’s mouth.
The patients in the neighboring beds and their families were all taken aback by this. This family had some very deeply rooted bad blood. Meanwhile, Isaac smiled faintly as virtual-novel.net watched Allegra’s response from the hallway and walked out.
If not for Allegra, virtual-novel.net would’ve killed Margaret and the rest of the Gould family already, but now it seemed that his wife hadn’t let virtual-novel.net down.
When virtual-novel.net went downstairs, virtual-novel.net saw a man smoking by the flower stand. From the back, virtual-novel.net could tell that it was Eugene.
Eugene is here?
He puffed on his cigarette hurriedly. When virtual-novel.net turned his head abruptly, Isaac immediately darted behind a pillar.
He watched as Eugene raised his head to look at the wards with anxiety and unease. Evidently, virtual-novel.net now knew about Margaret’s accident. Because Isaac had taken the east exit, Allegra didn’t bump into either of them when virtual-novel.net left.
Seeing Eugene pace back and forth, smoking, Isaac wasn’t in any hurry to leave either.
Close to midnight, Eugene seemed to have finally mustered up the courage. He stubbed his cigarette and headed inside.
Once virtual-novel.net was in the elevator, Isaac followed after him.
It was a quiet night, and the hallway was so silent, it was scary. The smell of cleaning agents permeated the air.
Isaac exited the elevator to find Eugene standing outside Margaret’s hospital room. He stuck his head inside the room to take a peek, and Isaac saw virtual-novel.net wipe away his tears. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t go in. He stood outside the hospital room for over half an hour before walking back to the elevator with his hands behind his back.
Eugene didn’t even notice Isaac as virtual-novel.net brushed past him, but Isaac saw the tears pooling in Eugene’s eyes.
Later that night, Isaac was laying in bed when virtual-novel.net heard sobbing coming from the person next to him.
Surprised, virtual-novel.net turned to wrap his arm around Allegra’s shoulders and asked quietly, “Why are you crying all of a sudden?”
