Chapter 364
“I know… I know. How could I blame you?”
I poured a cup of water, placed the straw in it, and handed it to my aunt. “Here, have some water.”
In the evening, after my aunt had fallen asleep, Ryan and I left together. We planned to go home, take a shower, and then keep watch.
The doctor said that my aunt could pass away at any time.
On the way home, I checked the medical expenses at the hospital. Millions had been deducted from Ryan’s account. The money was used for trying various newly developed foreign medications and treatments. There had been two surgeries, both performed by top foreign specialists.
Not onl
only was it expensive, but it also required connections. Without this support, my aunt probably wouldn’t have made it through the New Year.
But Ryan had never mentioned it to me.
I sat in the back seat and turned to him, “Ryan, thank you for handling my aunt’s affairs. I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
The money from selling the house had come through, enough to cover this expense.
He looked at me with a steady gaze. “We don’t need to keep such a clear account between us.”
“It’s necessary.”
We were already divorced.
I had no reason to spend his money.
Ryan sighed. “Do you just want to sever ties with me now?”
“Yes.”
As I was about to open the online banking app, my phone rang.
It was a call from Frank.
Ryan glanced at the phone, his eyes flashing with a hint of anger. “It’s only been one afternoon and he’s already calling?”
“Ryan, I appreciate what you’ve done for my aunt, but that doesn’t mean you can interfere in my personal life!” I said firmly. “Don’t make me remind you again that we are divorced.”
He grabbed the phone, ended the call, leaned in, and pinned me against the leather seat, speaking coldly.” If you want to keep bringing up the divorce, I don’t mind telling you…
Another urgent phone call interrupted him.
This time, it was from the hospital.
He stopped blocking me. My heart sank as I answered. The voice on the other end said, “Mrs. Frost, Your aunt… has passed away.”

Chapter 364
My head went blank.
Even though I was prepared for this, it still felt too sudden. It was like a heavy blow to the face.
I was stunned for a long time, unable to process what I heard.
Although I had clarified my background in the past few days, knowing I had no blood relationship with my aunt and learning who my real relatives were, deep down, I still hadn’t been able to adjust. I still saw my aunt as my only family.
Ryan took the phone from my hand, responded to the nurse, and said to the driver, “Turn around and back to the hospital.”
With the help of Ryan and Jane, everything related to my aunt’s funeral was taken care of.
The last time I was at the funeral home was for my grandpa.
This time, it was for my aunt.
In just six months, it felt like I was constantly losing.
