Her aunt's words were nothing more than her trying to justify Uncle and the others' actions and clear their names.
However, no matter what they had been saying at that moment, Grace acted as if she hadn't heard them at all. She only stared at her grandmother lying on the hospital bed.
She only cared about her grandma.
Suddenly, her grandma's mouth seemed to move as if she was stuttering something while in a coma.
When Grace put her head close to her grandma's lips, her body suddenly froze. The words that came out of her mouth were the names of her uncle, second uncle, and third aunt.
Grace silently straightened her body and walked out of the ward. Her Uncle and Second Uncle followed her and wanted to make her promise to drop the case.
Grace said coldly, "Why would I drop the case? Since you don't think of me as your family, why should I treat you like mine?"
"You ungrateful swine, how can you let your grandma down?" her aunt said gruffly.
"Whether or not I let grandma down is my business. At least I haven't done anything wrong to you. Instead, it's your husband and son who owe me for the things they did. Otherwise, they wouldn't be locked up right now!"
Her aunt was so angry that she choked and couldn't say a word.
Grace left the hospital on her own. Her Aunt wanted to chase after her, but Second Aunt stopped her. "Don't mess with her. The big shot is protecting her, so we can't afford to offend her. If she really gets angry, she'll extend the sentences of our imprisoned family members. What will we do then?"
"How dare she!" Aunt shouted in rage.
"Hey, before you ask about whether she dares to or not, do you think you can go all out against her? By then, you will be arrested in the police station as well!" Second Aunt said.
Hearing this, Aunt shrank back. She was angry and scared, but she didn't dare to chase after Grace anymore.
