The phone call was unexpectedly coming from Sean Ford. What was even more expected for Sabrina was that Sean’s voice was very gentle. Although Sean was afraid of Sebastian, and he had no relations with the Ford Group since a long time ago, Sean was still usually very mighty, especially in the Ford Residence. He was also a very mighty person in Sabrina and Aino’s eyes. However, this time, Sean’s tone was clearly very weak.
"Sabrina, I...I am your father-in-law,” said Sean.
Father? This term was very unfamiliar to Sabrina. She only had a father and he had already passed away when she was twelve years old. Later on, she learned that Lincoln was her biological father, but Lincoln had never given her a tiny bit of fatherly love. He even pushed her into prison with his own hands. Therefore, father was a word that made Sabrina feel ironic and amused every time she heard it. Later on, she married Sebastian. Just like her, Sebastian also rarely addressed his father. Sebastian even rarely had interactions with Sean. Sabrina, on the other hand, would take the initiative to acknowledge and greet Sean every time she saw him. However, every time Sabrina respectfully addressed Sean, he would ignore Sabrina, so much so that Sabrina had only been courteous to this father-in-law of hers and did not go beyond that.
Ever since Sabrina was pregnant, she had hardly seen Sean. She was not willing to meet these people who would upset her. For example, Lincoln Lynn, Old Master Shaw, and also Sean Ford. Her husband, Sebastian, had never forced her to meet with these people, especially those from the Ford Residence. That place was basically a place of humiliation for Sabrina. Therefore, ever since Sabrina was pregnant, Sebastian never took Sabrina back to the Ford Residence anymore. Sabrina also had never asked about anything regarding the Ford Residence. Therefore, at that moment, Sabrina never would have expected that her father-in-law would actually take the initiative to call her and submit to her.
Sean's voice sounded old. "Sabrina...I am already more than seventy years old this year."
Sabrina’s tone was a little low and a little dry. "Mister Ford, do you want something?"
"I..." Sean wanted to say something but he stopped himself. There was a pause before he said, "I am already getting older, and grandfather-in-law was sick again a few days ago. He is already one hundred and one years old. The doctor had also given us the final notice that the old man will only have a month to live a t most."
Sabrina was speechless. That made her feel overwhelmingly shocked. Old Master Ford, Henry Ford, had been used to being authoritative and domineering. His children and grandchildren were very respectful to him and had meticulously taken care of his health, so much so that Old Master Ford was actually able to live to the age of a hundred and one. The life of a a hundred and one-year-old was about to disappear soon?
Henry was the person that Sabrina hated the most in the Ford Residence. Once the old man was mentioned, Sabrina would be reminded of all those humiliations Henry had imposed on her seven years ago. However, the old man's life was already coming to end at that point, so what else was there to care about?
Sabrina softened her tone and said, "Mister Ford...I got it. Sebastian...he is truly very busy these few days because the wife of Mister Alex Poole had just given birth to their child, Sebastian had to help Alex handle his matters. He had been working from dawn to dusk every day, so don’t blame him. I will tell Sebastian tonight when he comes home. Tomorrow, we will find time to go back and visit..." Sabrina truly did not want t o address Henry as grandpa. However, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
