Chapter 951 Invincible

Angela explained, "I only found out today when I was discharged from the hospital. I just told you that Zelda has been losing her temper a lot lately, and she can't be bothered with me. I even came to the hospital by myself—""Mom, I told you long ago not to come to Fairport. But since you're here, stop being mad all the time. I'll be there in a minute. Wait for me in the ward," interrupted Mary before hanging up the phone. She acted so quickly that Angela didn't notice how excited she sounded."Mom, why are you so happy?" Serena was confused. Just a few moments ago, Mary had been cursing the Johnsons."I guess you didn't hear. Your grandpa has been hospitalized!" Mary smiled widely."Grandpa's hospitalized? Is that something to be happy about?"Mary tapped Serena on the head. "Are you being silly or what? Do you have any idea how old your grandpa is? There's no telling if he'll make it out of the hospital."Mary thought that Zelda had to be hiding the matter on purpose because s

Chapter 952 Get Her Out

Angela stood there stunned, as did Serena. She had been with James long enough and had seen him look frail before. She had realized he would pass away one day but to see him so frail was heartbreaking.They had just been in the hospital arguing about Mary. Now, James was suddenly lying weak in bed. He was dressed in a hospital gown, and there were tubes attached to his body."James, how did you suddenly get so sick?" Angela asked. Tears filled her eyes as she sat in the chair next to the bed. She wanted to hold James' hand, but it was connected to some monitoring equipment and the other hand had an IV.Mary stepped forward and asked, "Dad, how did you get like this in only two days? Were you feeling unwell before, but you didn't say anything about it?" She couldn't bring herself to cry, so she kept a frown on her face and pretended to be worried.She was trying to imply that James hadn't been living well in Fairport, which had led to his health problems. She implied that it was bec

Chapter 953 Without Regret

James' actions left Mary in disbelief. The ward was quiet and only James' voice could be heard. Even if his words sounded weak, they hit Mary hard like a slap in the face. She couldn't understand why telling the truth would result in James kicking her out of the ward."Mae, can you step outside for a moment? I'll call you back in when your dad has calmed down," Angela said.James seemed particularly uncomfortable, and the readings on the nearby monitors suddenly began to fluctuate. Angela had to send Mary away to tend to his emotions. She knew James valued the Johnsons, and of course, he didn't want to hear Mary badmouthing them.Though angry, Mary could tell something wasn't right with James. Something bad could happen if she persisted. Fearing that James might pass on all his money to Rebecca, Mary decided to follow James' instructions and leave."Okay, Mom, I'll step out for a while. Call me if you need anything. Doctor, please take good care of my dad. He's old and stubborn. Pl

Chapter 954 No Need for Tears

James' emotions were slowly on the wane. When he heard the sound of crying, he couldn't help but look over at Angela and Serena and say, "Why are you crying? I'm not dead."Angela shed no tears, though her eyes glistened with tears. Next to her was Serena, who was crying buckets. She covered her face but couldn't stop sobbing.Serena sniffled and choked out, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I just couldn't help myself."James' health had been deteriorating for six months but she had no idea. Mary had even urged her to get in touch with James more often for fear that he might give away all his possessions to the Johnsons. Serena hadn't had a chance to take care of James back then.With a sigh, James said quietly, "Serena, come here."Serena wiped away her tears and slowly approached the bedside. Her voice cracked as she said, "Grandpa." James lifted his finger. Serena quickly caught his hint and pushed the button next to the bed to raise the bed slightly.James cleared his throat and looked

Chapter 955 Unsatisfied

"Don't rush to refuse yet." James smiled at Serena. He felt a whirlwind of emotions building up within him.In James' day, it would have been surprising for someone Serena's age not to be married. Fortunately for Serena, she lived in a time when people were more accepting and valued accomplishments over marital status. So, it wouldn't be considered unusual if she never got married.Furthermore, the reason Serena hadn't been able to marry until now was a result of Mary and her own actions, as opposed to Rebecca's situation. So, she had no one to blame but herself and Mary. Even if Serena got married, she could face challenges similar to Mary's if she ended up with the wrong person.James resented Mary, but his feelings for Serena had softened over time. He took on the role of teaching Serena how to cook in his later years. It stirred a sense of compassion in him when he saw her crying. Even though Serena seemed to be in a state of hopelessness, James couldn't bear to see her succum

Chapter 956 The Wisest of Them All

As Mary watched Serena remain silent with tears in her eyes, she couldn't help but be annoyed. "Why are you being so stubborn? Can't you just listen? You've always listened to me."Serena felt heartbroken. She wished she had seen the truth earlier. For years, she had trusted Mary's judgment and thought she had her best interests at heart. Only when she saw the person she cared for lying in a hospital bed did she realize how absurd her actions had been.As Mary prepared to speak with seriousness, Serena sniffed and nonchalantly replied, "I have no idea what Grandpa's will was but we should respect his wishes; whatever they were.""You stubborn fool, do you really mean that?" Mary was frustrated. She looked at Serena as if she were a complete idiot. "Respect? So, you're fine with your unjust grandpa giving all of his money to that Johnson bitch? Seriously, think about it. Does Rebecca really need your grandpa's money?"She's already set for life and beyond with the Johnsons' fortune.

Chapter 957 An Absurd Idea

Serena came up with an absurd idea out of the blue. She felt like calling Rebecca to talk about her problems and apologize to her. She understood that she was wrong when she thought about what she did. She needed to apologize to Oliver as well.She scrolled awkwardly across her phone's screen until she realized she didn't even have Rebecca's contact information. A couple of years ago, when she had spent Christmas with Mary and James in Fairport, they had set up a new family group chat.Then, Rebecca lost her phone and had to get a new number. That was when the group chat fell silent. Perhaps they had started a new group chat without Serena and Mary being part of it.Suddenly, Serena found herself pathetic. She had many relatives who were all successful people. Even if she couldn't be successful, her life wouldn't be so miserable if she had a close relationship with the Johnson family. No matter how bad things got, she wouldn't end up without someone she could talk to.Serena couldn

Chapter 958 A Pang of Remorse

"Please don't say that," Angela cut James off. Tears began to well up in her eyes. Although she knew that James didn't have much time left, it was still hard to hear it directly from him.She felt a pang of remorse. If she could go back three days, she wouldn't have argued with Zelda or even brought Mary along to argue with James in the hospital. Maybe James wouldn't even be in the hospital bed, then.Angela choked back tears and said, "Don't be negative. Miracles do happen. Do you remember when you were very sick before? The doctors said we should prepare for the worst but you got through it, didn't you? Life's unpredictable."She held onto hope and believed that there were still a lot of good days ahead of them."All right, I won't mention those things," James agreed softly.Seeing that James was exhausted, Angela lowered his hospital bed and said, "Get some rest for now. We'll talk later when you're up. Don't fixate on the negative. Just follow the doctor's instructions. There'

Chapter 959 A Fool

Realizing she was being too harsh, Mary softened her tone and said, "Let's save discussions about the future for later. Whether it's about starting a business or investing, we can talk about those things when we get back to Rookfort."You've seen how ill your grandfather is. We don't even know how much time he has left to live. How will we manage in the future if you don't try to make him happy now? Can we count on your restaurant? You've been running it for years. Haven't you suffered enough?"Mary's gaze landed on Serena's intertwined fingers. Over time, Mary had focused solely on caring for herself. She hadn't noticed how rough Serena's hands had become.She couldn't resist chiding Serena, "Now, look at you. What's the difference between you and those wage earners with those hands and that look on your face? You don't even look like someone who comes from a decent family."Have a look at Rebecca. She's dressing so beautifully that it's a pleasure just to look at her. Your grandp

Chapter 960 Shut Up

Mary was startled by Angela's steely voice. She jumped up from the hallway bench and faced her."Mom, when did you get here?" Mary asked sheepishly.Considering how much Angela had cared for her, she believed that Angela would forgive her and continue to show her favor.Unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn.Angela was in disbelief when she found Mary angrily accusing Serena of failing to claim James' inheritance in front of the ward when James was seriously ill.Although Mary was greedy, Angela believed that she was not a bad person. Even though Angela was aging, Mary had been more than willing to spend time with her. This led Angela to believe that Mary had a kind heart.Also, even though Mary had made a grave mistake in the past, she had been sincere in her apology and promised never to do it again. Things were peaceful for years, and Angela assumed Mary had changed for the better.It wasn't until today that Angela heard Mary's words and realized she had been spoiling
