Chapter 398

Author: Love Berries
Joseph nodded. “Alright, I got it.”

His eyes shimmered with emotion, as if Judy’s words had truly touched him.

Judy, on the other hand, felt nothing but contempt.

Why hadn’t she realized before how much easier this man was to manipulate than she thought?

She’d barely said a few lines, and he was already moved to the point of tears.

How amusing.

Judy rubbed her stomach and leaned in with a playful tone. “Joseph, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”

“No problem.”

Joseph stood up immediately, pressing a gentle kiss to her cheek before leading her to freshen up.

It was the first time he had ever treated her like this, and Judy was slightly taken aback.

Back when Aurora was still around, she might’ve acted smug in front of her, but behind closed doors, Joseph had never shown her this kind of tenderness.

Now, it almost felt like he was treating her as some sort of comparison to Aurora.

And that was exactly why Judy had never believed he truly loved her.

To him, she was just a counterpoint to another w

    Aurora frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”Grace, still propped up in bed, looked just as confused. There was something unfamiliar, almost unsettling, about Tessa today.Or had this always been her true face?Grace masked the flicker of unease in her expression, but once a seed of doubt is planted, it doesn’t take long to root itself in a mother’s heart.Tessa scoffed, eyes burning. “I mean, how do you have the nerve to show up here, acting like the doting daughter, when you’re the reason Mom ended up in the hospital?”Her words cut through the room like a blade, and silence fell over everyone.She wasn’t targeting just one person—her fury was indiscriminate.She turned to Grace, eyes wide with hurt and disbelief. “Mom, why?”“Tell me why.”“I was the first one here. I sat by your side while you were unconscious. I waited. And you didn’t wake up.” Her voice cracked. “But she shows up, barely here a minute, and you open your eyes?”A bitter laugh escaped her lips. “This world is

    They couldn’t see any real tension.Everything seemed fine on the surface.Lucas stepped forward at just the right moment. “Mom, how are you feeling? Any pain or discomfort?”Grace froze at the sound of his voice.A flicker of surprise crossed her face. “Lucas? You’re here too?”Her gaze shifted again. “And Mr. Knight, you as well?”She looked genuinely taken aback.She hadn’t expected her sudden illness to draw so much attention.Wait. What about the Walton Corporation?If word got out that she was hospitalized, the stock would definitely take a hit.That couldn’t happen.“Aurora, I need to be discharged. I have to get back and take control.”Aurora looked bewildered. “Why, Mom? You just woke up. What’s the rush?”“You don’t understand. This came on so suddenly—if I’m not at the helm, things will fall apart. I don’t even know what the situation is out there.”Aurora let out a soft sigh and moved closer, gently pressing her mother back against the pillow.“Mom, your health matters more

    This time, it was her fault.She shouldn’t have been so willfu and let things escalate to the point where her mother ended up hospitalized.Compared to everything else, her mother’s health should’ve come first.The Walton Corporation could survive without her but not without Grace.That realization struck deep, and the guilt in Aurora’s eyes only grew heavier as she looked at her mother.She shouldn’t have pushed back so stubbornly.She had been through so much lately, and perhaps she’d grown too jaded, too weary. But that was no excuse.Back then, she shouldn’t have talked back. If she hadn’t, maybe her mother wouldn’t be lying here like this.Aurora lowered her gaze, at a loss for words.Standing beside her, Lucas noticed the shift in her expression. He quietly reached over and placed his hand over hers, his touch warm and steady.“You’re already here,” he said gently. “If you keep blaming yourself like this, and your mom sees it, it’ll only hurt her more.”Aurora looked up at him,

    Not only was he immature, he also held grudges like a child.He always trying to provoke him in public, as if that proved something.Leonard couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly.Just then, Jason stepped out and spotted the three of them standing near the door.“Miss Walton, why aren’t you going in?”Aurora gave a soft shake of her head. “I just spoke with the doctor. Thought I’d wait out here a bit before going in.”“What did the doctor say?” Jason asked, clearly concerned about Grace’s condition.After all, he’d worked with her for years, and this was the first time he’d ever seen her like this—fragile, vulnerable.In the business world, she had always been sharp and fearless, a strategist who moved with ease. She was like a superwoman—untouchable, tireless, almost inhuman in her strength.It was only in the last two days that Jason finally saw her for what she was: a woman, just like the rest of them, only stronger.Aurora tried to reassure him. “She’ll be okay. The doctor said

    He knew Aurora meant no harm, but right now, she was drowning in her own guilt, completely unreachable, no matter what anyone said.Leonard stood nearby, quietly keeping her company. It was the first time he’d seen her like this…“Aurora, it’s not your fault,” Lucas said gently, his voice low and patient. “I know you didn’t mean for any of this to happen. You’d never hurt her, right?”But Aurora was lost in her thoughts, too wrapped up in emotion to respond.Her gaze, sharp and unwavering, was fixed through the glass panel of the hospital room door—locked on the fragile figure lying in the bed.Her mother, usually so fierce, so unshakably strong, now looked like a broken porcelain doll, quiet and motionless beneath the sterile white sheets."Mom… you’ve always been so forceful, so unyielding. Why aren’t you lecturing me now?"Come on, get up and scold me like you always do. I promise, this time I won’t talk back."Tears welled in her eyes, the corners reddened as emotion burned throug

    It looked like Joseph was finally starting to come around, and that wasn’t a bad thing.At least he wasn’t throwing himself at the same woman like his life depended on it.If things had kept going that way, Melvin wouldn’t have felt confident handing the company over to him.These things needed to be tested, step by step.Otherwise, how could Joseph ever be worthy of becoming a proper heir?Upstairs.Joseph picked up his phone, then set it down again, torn over whether to call Judy one more time.Part of him hoped she would call him instead.She’d been gone for hours—how was it possible she hadn’t sent a single message?Worry gnawed at him now. This wasn’t like her.After pacing and overthinking for a while, Joseph finally typed out a message.“Judy, today was my fault. I didn’t think things through. I promise it won’t happen again.”“Where are you staying? You still have the code to the villa. Just go there, it’s yours.”“Judy, please don’t shut me out. I’m really scared something’s h
