Prisci clenched her teeth. She could tell that even if she knelt, ude would never really persuade Dillon to keep the house.
He just wanted to humiliate her.
“No.” Bonnie wept bitterly, looking old and haggard.
She made up her mind, her voice trembling. “If you want to sell the house, then sell it, but you must not bully my Ci.”
Losing the house pained her deeply, but she had to protect Ci.
How could her Ci suffer such humiliation?
Prisci closed her eyes, biting her lip until she tasted blood.
If the house was really sold, Bonnie would lose herst hope.
Bonnie couldn’t take any more blows.
“Fine.” She agreed slowly, her whole body tense. “As long as you promise not to sell the house, I will kneel and apologize to you.”
“Ci!” Bonnie cried out in pain, gripping her hand. “Grandma doesn’t want the house anymore.”
Prisci’s eyes were filled with tears.
She was doing this for the person who loved her most in the

She let go of Bonnie’s hand and walked up to ude. “ude, I hope you can handle me kneeling to you.”
ude burst outughing. “Prisci, do you still think you’re Mrs. Carlton? Let me tell you, Wes doesn’t want you, and the Carlton family won’t take you back either.”
“Otherwise, why would they have told us to <ie </i>pick Grandma up from the hospital?”
“They think you two are dirtying the ce by staying here.”
Prisci’s face turned pale, her nails digging deep into her palm.
She bent her knees slightly and slowly knelt down in
humiliation.
“Ci.”
Bonnie tried to stop her, but her legs gave out and she fell to
the floor.
All she could do was curse at Dillon and ude.
“Dillon, you blind and heartless fool!”
“ude, you’ll get what’sing to you!”
ude didn’t care at all. His eyes shone with excitement, eagerly awaiting the moment Prisci would kneelpletely before him.

Just as Prisci’s knee was about to touch the ground, the hospital room door was forcefully pushed open.
Wesley and Frank appeared together at the doorway.
Prisci looked toward the door, her eyes stinging with
emotion.
She moved her lips, silently mouthing, “Wes.”
Wesley strode in, his face frosty, and pulled her into his arms with one hand supporting her waist.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
He was seething with anger, wishing he could tear Dillon and ude apart and feed them to the dogs.
Prisci steadied herself, gently pushed Wesley away, and went to help Bonnie.
Wesley helped as well.
Bonnie sat down at the edge of the bed, clutching her chest and struggling to breathe.
Her vision was going dark, but she still forced herself to hold on, wanting to protect her granddaughter.
Dillon sneaked a nce at Frank’s expression.
But Frank’s face was expressionless, betraying no emotion.
He hesitated, then spoke, “Wes, we’re here to take Grandma and Prisci home.”

Wesley straightened up, his eyes dark as ink, and looked at ude. “ud, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.”
The person he wished to cherish most had been bullied by them like this.
ude’s face turned pale.
Dillon forced augh, trying to smooth things over. “They were just joking around as siblings.”
Wesley ignored him, his tone icy cold: “Since you like kneeling so much, then kneel to Grandma.”
ude was in disbelief. He thought he had a good
rtionship with Wesley, but now Wesley wanted him to kneel?
Bonnie was on Prisci’s side; kneeling to Bonnie was the same as admitting defeat to Prisci.
He was unwilling.
Prisci’s eyes were swollen and red, Bonnie’s hand was icy cold, and her face was ashen.
She said hoarsely, “Call the doctor.”
Wesley snapped back to his senses and pressed the call button for the doctor.
The doctor came in to check, repeating the same advice: Bonnie needed more rest and less agitation.
Dillon breathed a sigh of relief and became much more

Although Frank was also present, he hadn’t spoken a word. Dillon couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, but figured that no matter what, Frank wouldn’t openly sh with Wesley. Leaving now was the best option.
Bonnie leaned against the headboard, supported by Prisci’s arm, her wrinkled face full of exhaustion.
“Wait.” she said.
Prisci wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and called softly, “Grandma.”
Prisci patted the back of her hand, trying to reassure her.
She looked at her son with deep disappointment, her tone slow. “You say I favor Ci. Fine, then I’ll give you apromise now.”
