Chapter <b>229 </b>
Without further thought, Mnie hurried to the nursing home. The director and caregivers were waiting outside her grandfather’s room. They sighed in relief when they saw Mnie arrive.
“The old man led his daughter into the room. At first, we could hear the woman crying and shouting. We were afraid Mr. Lancaster would get agitated, so we quickly called you<b>,</b><b>” </b>the director exined.
Thest time her grandfather was discharged, the doctors had emphasized not to let him get emotionally worked up again.
Mnie’s gaze darkened slightly. She informed the director briefly and then approached the room. She knocked on the door.
No one spoke.
“Grandpa, it’s me.”
Suddenly, a muffled cough sounded from inside. It sounded urgent.
Mnie’s expression turned cold. She raised her voice, “Dn, if you have something to say, say it directly to me!”
There was rustling inside, and then the door opened. Her grandfather came out of the room while leaning on his cane, his expression unpleasant.
Mnie noticed Dn sitting alone on the sofa inside the room, wiping away her tears with her head bowed.
Her grandfather’s cough brought Mnie back. Frowning, she looked at her grandfather. “Are you okay?”
“Nothing’s wrong.” Her grandfather waved his hand, seeming unwilling to say more.
He looked at Dn in the room and tapped his cane on the ground with force. Then, he sternly scolded, “You wretched child, go back to your city! From now on, I consider you a daughter no more!”
His words were urgent, and after saying them<b>, </b><b>he </b>started coughing violently.
Mnie raised a hand tofort him while looking at Dn expressionlessly. <b>“</b><b>If </b>you have any conscience left, you’d better leave now.”
Dn stood up, allowing Mnie to see her face clearly. She appeared even more emaciated and worn out thanst time, with her <b>left </b>eye swollen and bloodshot at the corners. Her clothes were dirty and unkempt, making her look like a woman far beyond her age.
Dn did not look at Mnie. Instead, she immediately fell to her knees.
Mnie’s eyes slightly widened, but Dn had already started crawling toward her grandfather.
“Dad! I’m begging you, please help George. What am I to do if he really ends up disabled? Dad, you can’t just ignore us! You only need <b>to </b>talk to that official. It’s <b>so </b>simple!! Why won’t you help me<b>?</b>”
Chapter
Dn cried sorrowfully while gripping the old man’s pant leg tightly. The old man knocked his cane on the ground again, voice trembling as he ordered, “Get lost! Get out of here!”
The old man had an upright character and was an educator with students far and wide. Never did he expect his only daughter to turn out like this!
A few days ago, George, as stubborn as ever, got into a fight with some local thugs after having just got out. The wealthy young man involved had influential connections and shifted the me to George.
Moreover, the young man happened to be the nephew of a cadre of the city’s business
association. This cadre happened to be an old student of his. Desperate, Dn returned to seek her father’s help with George.
Fueled by anger, the old man merely watched as Dn struggled to speak. Suddenly, his body swayed and staggered back. Mnie was quick to react and immediately reached out to support him.
Looking at the disheveled woman still kneeling on the ground, Mnie’s voice trembled despite her cold demeanor. “Dn, have you lost your heart? Have you forgotten what I told you back at Hearth City?”
Dn lifted her head awkwardly. Her tired and turbid eyes held not a single gleam of
brilliance. She looked at Mnie, released her grip on the old man’s hand, and turned to grab Mnie instead.
“Please help me. George angered someone he shouldn’t have. That person is demanding 500,000 dors inpensation and promised that George will be left crippled if we don’t pay up…”
