When William and Arnold personally carried gifts and arrived at Cora's ward, she was in the midst of a video call with Sally.
The day before Cora attended Nora's birthday banquet, Sally happily accompanied her to choose a dress for the event. Sally even insisted on being Cora's family during the banquet, supporting her all the way.
However, on that evening, she received a call from Kinton informing that her grandmother had fallen and needed surgery.
Sally was utterly devastated at that moment, crying her heart out in anguish.
Because her grandmother had raised her, she was closest to her.
As Grandma was going to have an operation, she was afraid there would be serious problems.
In addition to that, she also worried about Cora attending the Hansen family's banquet alone, without any support, fearing that she might be taken advantage of or bullied.
Cora could only console Sally, saying, "I won't let anyone bully me. You should go to Kinton to see your grandma quickly. Besides, it's just a banquet, nothing major. What's more important is that you won't be absent as my bridesmaid during my wedding."
Later, Sally still took the nearest flight back to Kinton.
Little did she know that after her grandmother's surgery and recovery, she received the news of Cora being pushed down the stairs by Sara. She was infuriated and even threatened, saying, "I'll have my mom take our private jet over there right now and pull off all Sara's hair!"
In the end, Cora persuaded Sally in every possible way, reassuring her that she wasn't facing any major issues, and urged her to take care of her grandmother first. Only then did Sally give up the idea of returning to New York immediately.
Soon, more than two months had passed, and Sally's grandmother had almost fully recovered.
Sally was eager to return to New York and didn't forget to inform Cora before her departure.
"Cora, this time I'll go with my dad."
"Mr. Charles Grey is also coming over? Is there anything going on?"
"Oh, there is, but I can't tell you just yet."
Sally appeared to be in a triumphant and self-satisfied manner.
At that moment, disregarding the bodyguards, Arnold and William forcefully entered Cora's hospital room.
As Arnold and William were influential figures in New York and considering Arnold's advanced age, the bodyguards were hesitant to use force, resulting in a heated argument that echoed through the room.
