Cecilia looked at the caregiver standing nearby, her voice icy cold: “Tell me, what happened?”


    The caregiver wiped her tears and pointed angrily at Tania and Larissa. “It was them who made Madam Wilburn faint from anger.”


    Tania’s expression changed slightly. “You’re talking nonsense. She fainted because of her age.”


    The caregiver and Bonnie had long developed a bond. She truly cared for the olddy.


    “I heard them with my own ears, talking in Madam Wilburn’s room about you going to prison, forcing her to go before the reporters and expose you as a murderer. Madam Wilburn refused, so they said you’d have to stay in prison forever.”


    Cecilia understood.


    Tania and Larissa had forced Bonnie to frame her. When Bonnie refused, they threatened and agitated her, causing her to faint.


    She looked at the heartless mother and daughter, her whole body burning with anger.


    “How could you provoke her like that?”


    She strode step by step toward them, her eyes full of hostility


    Larissa gritted her teeth and sneered, “Cecilia, that’s my grandmother, not yours.”

    Cecilia pped her across the face.


    “Larissa, so you do know she’s your grandmother? Is this how you treat her? The doctor said she can’t take any more stress–didn’t you know that?”


    “If you have a problem with me,e at me directly. Why bully an old, frail woman? You really are Dillon’s good daughter–just as selfish as he is.”


    Larissa was left speechless by the scolding.


    “Cecilia, that’s enough. This is a Wilburn family matter and has nothing to do with a fake like you.” Tania shielded Larissa behind her, putting on an air of superiority.


    Cecilia didn’t hold back and pped her as well.


    Tania was stunned, clutching her cheek in disbelief. “You dare hit me?”


    Cecilia had wanted to p her long ago, but back then she bore the name Prisci.


    She couldn’t raise her hand, couldn’t let Prisci be branded as unfilial.


    But now, she was Cecilia, with no ties to the Wilburn family at all.


    Atst, this pnded squarely on Tania’s face.


    “So what if I did?” Cecilia was far from calm.


    The light above the emergency room went out.


    Cecilia whipped around to look at the main doors.


    The doctor came out, removed his mask, and said softly, “My

    condolences.”


    Cecilia swayed, her back hitting the wall.


    She murmured, “Grandma,” in disbelief.


    How could Bonnie… how could this have happened…


    The doctor sighed and reminded her, “Go in and see her onest time.”


    Cecilia stumbled inside, not stopping until she saw the white sheet.


    Her legs gave out and she knelt to the floor.


    She crawled forward on her knees, clutching that cold hand, her grief- stricken cries tearing through the air.


    “Grandma.”


    When Wesley arrived at the hospital, the first thing he heard was that heart–wrenching cry.


    His steps came to an abrupt halt, and an inexplicable panic rose in his heart.


    It felt as if… everything had fallen into chaos.


    Ci.


    He strode to the entrance of the emergency room.


    Looking at the wide–open door, his heart sank.


    Elijah spoke softly, “Madam Wilburn has passed away.”


    Sobs came from the side. Larissa covered her mouth, her eyes red, “Grandma.”

    Tania held her, equally grief–stricken.


    Wesley, however, didn’t spare them a nce and walked straight into the emergency room.


    Tania wiped away her tears and gave Larissa a gentle push.


    Larissa hurried to follow.


    Cecilia was kneeling on the floor, clutching Bonnie’s hand tightly, sobbing uncontrobly.


    Bonnie…


    From now on, there would be no one left to love her.


    Under the pale lights, she seemed shrouded in a sense of brokenness.


    Wesley approached her, his own hands trembling.


    Bonnie’s passing had been far too sudden.


    He tried tofort her in a low voice, “Ci, calm down.”


    “You’re still pregnant.”


    Pregnant?


    Cecilia was actually pregnant?


    Larissa froze for a moment, her gaze falling on Cecilia’s lower abdomen, a shadow flickering in her eyes.


    “Grandma.” Larissa suddenly cried out, dropping to her knees.


    Only then did Cecilia realize Larissa hade in.


    Her weak body suddenly found strength. She red at Larissa with

    hatred “Get out.”


    Don’t let Bonnie be disturbed even after her passing.


    Tears streamed down Larissa’s face as she bit her lip in deep sorrow. “She’s my grandmother. I have every right to see her off.”


    Wesley spoke gently, “Ci, don’t get agitated.”


    “I said get out! All of you, get out!” she screamed hoarsely, her voice breaking.


    At that moment, she even hated Wesley.


    She hated how he always protected Larissa, valued her so much, yet still entangled himself with her.


    Her emotions were too intense, and Wesley had no choice but to hold her in his arms, trying to calm her down.


    “Ci.”


    But Cecilia struggled, refusing to let him get close.
