"You...!" Bella didn't know what to say, but no matter what, whether Cathy chose to go back or not, she
must go back herself.
"Mom, mom, are you really going to go back?" Cathy shouted loudly.
Bella ignored her and went to the hospital.
At that time, the old Mrs. Lawson had been in the emergency room for more than two hours, but the
surgery was still not over.
It was at that moment that Bella rushed in.
When William saw her, he was furious. "Bella, what took you so long? I asked you to come long ago.
Why didn't you come earlier? And where is Cathy?"
"Cathy had some serious things to attend to, but don't worry, she will definitely come." Bella said, of
course not mentioning that her daughter had no intention to come.
"Hmph, I bet she doesn't want to come!" As the saying goes, a father knows his daughter best. William
sneered.
"That's not true!" Bella was trying to argue with him, but William didn't want to listen at all.
They waited for a long time. Meanwhile, William was anxious. Although he didn't like his mother that
much usually, she was still his mother. And based on the current situation, if anything happened to the
old Mrs. Lawson, it would be very disadvantageous to their family.
The old Mrs. Lawson would weather through, wouldn't she?
After waiting for a long time and still not seeing the old Mrs. Lawson coming out, Bella secretly sent a
message to Cathy, "Cathy, you should come quickly. I don't know how long I can help you this time.
Your grandmother is really in trouble this time. She still hasn't come out of the emergency room."
Cathy replied, "Their tricks have upgraded now. Anyway, I don't believe it!"
Bella didn't know what to say to Cathy. Just then, the surgical light in the operating room went out, and
everyone's attention was drawn to that. Bella couldn't continue talking to Cathy on the phone, so she
put her phone away and went to the door of the operating room.
The doctor walked out, and everyone crowded around. Abbott was the first to ask, "Doctor, how is my
mother?"
The doctor took off his mask and said slowly, "Her condition is stabilized for now, but she can't be
stimulated anymore. The next time it happens, it's very likely that... I hope you understand what I
mean."
If William and Bella thought that the old Mrs. Lawson was faking it before, at that moment, they
completely understood that this time it was real.
Laura reached out and held Abbott's hand. "Don't worry, we'll take good care of mom. Nothing will
happen to her."
Laura was the person who understood Abbott the most. Over the years, Abbott had been managing the
company and didn't have much time to accompany the old Mrs. Lawson.
No matter how much troubles the old Mrs. Lawson had caused, she was still his mother. To speak
honestly, Abbott envied William for being able to stay by her side. He would rather stay with his mother
than manage the company here.
Abbott nodded at her.
The old Mrs. Lawson had already been transferred to the ward. Currently, she needed more rest, so
when they went to see her, they just stood there without speaking.
The old Mrs. Lawson looked around and didn't see Cathy's figure. She asked in a weak voice, "Where
is Cathy? Why hasn't she come?"
Bella's worst fear came true. She stepped forward to explain, "Mom, Cathy is on her way. There might
be a traffic jam, but she'll be here soon."
Normally, Mrs. Lawson would have believed her, but now she just smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, you
don't have to speak for her. What kind of person she is, I know it better than anyone else."
Bella wanted to say more, but Sophia stepped forward and said, "Grandma, Cathy still loves you. How
could she not come to see you?"
"I used to think she loved me, but now I realize that I mean nothing to her. Forget it. Even if she comes,
don't let her in." The old Mrs. Lawson said.
Bella froze. William's brow furrowed slightly.
Since the old Mrs. Lawson needed rest, everyone was preparing to leave.
Sophia said she was going to stay and take care of the old Mrs. Lawson, but Abbott said, "Sophia,
don't argue with me. Your uncle and aunt have taken care of your grandmother for so many years.
They deserve some rest. I'll stay here for now. You can come back later, okay?"
Sophia agreed to this arrangement, nodding her head. "Okay, that's settled."
The rest of them left.
Actually, the old Mrs. Lawson's being sick this time had something to do with Cathy, but when they
were out, Sophia said to William and Bella, "Uncle, aunt, don't blame Cathy. She didn't expect things to
turn out this way. For now, let's not let her come. We'll wait until Grandma feels better."
Sophia's words were flawless. William and Bella could only nod in agreement. It wasn't until then that
Bella realized how cunning Sophia was.
When Sophia and Aria left together, Aria gave her a thumbs up. "Sis, you're brilliant. You completely
played the innocent role! No, scratch that. You're not the innocent one. You're the plotter."
Sophia laughed and said, "Actually, men are easy to manipulate. Besides, these are all people around
me. I know them well, so it's easy for me to do this kind of thing."
"But..." Sophia's face didn't look good. "I'd rather not use these means on them. It makes me feel
pathetic." All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Aria understood her. She knew that Sophia preferred a warm and lively family where no one had their
own secret motives. But not everything in the world could go exactly as she wished it to be.
"Sis, even though you did this and you'll probably hate yourself for doing it, have you ever thought that
at least your grandmother is treating you better now!"
Sophia nodded. "I know, and my kindness to her is genuine."
"That's enough! No matter what happened on the way, as long as the ending turns out to be good, it's
okay. As for Cathy, she will probably be like this for the rest of her life. Don't expect her to become a
better person."
Sophia smiled. "Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Come, I'll take you to dinner."
Drake, who had been forgotten and left behind the whole time, watched them leave in silence. Was he
really a person that people became easily oblivious to?
When Sophia returned home at night, she received a call from Laura. She said that uncle and aunt had
another big fight, and of course, it was because of Cathy.
Sophia couldn't care less about those things. Just like what Aria said, as long as she and her
grandmother's relationship improved, she was satisfied.
"Mom, if you need anything over there, just let me know."
