The housekeeper answered dejectedly, "You have been dealing with your own affairs since yesterday, so madam did not dare to tell you about it."
Seeing the housekeeper like this, Sabrina and Sebastian were baffled. "What happened?"
The housekeeper sighed. "Madam's chest has been bruised after being beaten up by that lecher. It's an internal injury within the chest. She is already quite old, so even having surgery may not be able to thoroughly heal it. Madam and the old director heard that the military hospital in Kidon City has the top cardiothoracic surgery department, so they hurried over."
Sabrina and Sebastian were both speechless. They never expected that it would end up like this.
Sebastian nodded. "I got it."
After that, he and Sabrina went into the old residence together. As expected, both Sean and Rose were truly not inside the old residence. Only Old Master Henry and the old madam were sitting in the large living room.
Henry was just one year shy of a hundred years old. H e was already old and he had hearing loss. In the past year, Henry had not been bothered with anything anymore. He only cared about taking a stroll after his
meals, bathing in the sun, cooling off in the shades, and sleeping. He had been calmly resting.
However, the old madam became more talkative recently. This was also because the old madam liked Sabrina. She was the person that treated Sabrina the best in this entire old residence. Therefore, at this moment, Sabrina was willing to listen to what the old madam had to say.
"Sebastian and Sabrina, I know Rose is not close with you, but she has lived here her whole life. According t o the inheritance order, that pair of chrismatite bracelets originally should have been passed on to her. However, I know that your mother has had too deep of a grievance, so I passed it onto Sabrina in the end."
Upon saying that, the old madam looked at Sabrina. " Isn't that right, my granddaughter-in-law?"
Sabrina sincerely nodded her head. "Yes, Grandma."
"I wanted to protect and establish your position in the Ford family at that time, so I passed the bracelets directly to you. However, now that she is in trouble, I have to step in to protect her as well. It's been more than forty years since she married into the Ford family. She has put in a lot of effort in this family even if there were no merits, not to mention that her sons have passed away one after another. The kind of pain i n her heart is not something you can understand. Therefore, I am going to put my dignity aside and tell you today that she has indeed gone to Kidon City to seek medical treatment, and I was the one who agreed for them to go over. During the time that she is at Kidon City, don't go visit her. Just don’t disturb each other, alright?” The old madam looked at Sabrina.
Only at this moment did Sabrina know that this old madam, who had been living in this old Ford residence for eighty years, was not a simple person. Sabrina admired her. Sabrina knew the old madam was great at being impartial, but what else can she d o? As the head of this large family, she had to be fair. Otherwise, the family truly would have been at sixes and sevens. No matter how at odds both Sebastian and Sabrina were with Rose, Sabrina also respected what the old madam said.
Sabrina looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian, Grandma is right. Let's just...not disturb your stepmother. I think during the period when she is seeking treatment, she probably also wouldn't want to see us as well."
Sebastian was not as soft-hearted as Sabrina. He knew that there must be some important matters for his stepmother and his father to rush over Kidon City together. However, at this moment, he also could not say anything else in front of his grandma. He could only devise another plan after he had returned home.
