"Stay away from Lance! Who do you think you are to question him? Would the Olson family be in this mess if it weren't for you?"
Suddenly, the door of the nearby ward was opened, and a nurse inside quietly said, "Mr. Kendal is asking for Ms. Chloe."
Lauretta was venting her anger by pulling at Keira's hair, while Lance just leaned against the wall, watching with an emotionless expression.
He didn't care about the eighteen percent of shares his grandfather was about to hand over to Chloe. He knew that handing those shares to Chloe was the only chance for the company to survive. And the remaining shares owned by the Olson family would be enough to sustain their lifestyle...
Kendal was sitting on the bed. In just a short time, his face had become much thinner and haggard, seemingly aging a decade.
Chloe's icy heart fluttered slightly, showing a hint of reluctance.
She quickly diverted her gaze, lowered her head and turned around, placing the flowers she brought on the table next to her.
When she looked up, she saw the weather outside the window had turned gloomy. The autumn wind was bleak, blowing off a few leaves from the trees, and lifting those on the ground.
She felt troubled inside, turned around, and broke into a smile.
"Are you feeling better?" she walked to the side of the bed and stood still.
"Eventually, that day will come."
Chloe smiled, "The most important thing is to have no regrets, like meeting a great-grandson at least once."
A few words of this insincere courtesy were enough.
The ward fell silent for a while.
"Mr. Kendal, did you ask me to come in person because you have something to say?"
Kendal coughed lightly, and finally let out a heavy sigh.
"You're not a heartless person, why pretend to be so tough?"
Chloe's delicate eyebrows knitted slightly. She looked at Kendal for a moment, then laughed and sat down on the chair in front of the bed.
"It's important to me."
Kendal looked at her. From his expression, Chloe knew he was waiting for her to continue.
