“Then I’ll say I can’t cure this illness and bring your mother home. I’ll see if she’ll contribute this money!” Old Mr. Kelleigh said angrily.
“But what if she really sues us?” First Uncle said, worried.
Second Uncle hurriedly added, “Yes, she was a top law student back then and had even been a lawyer. Moreover, backing her now…. That big figure is probably there. If they really sue us, we probably won’t be able to win the lawsuit. And Dad, you didn’t see the man that rescued her. He is an Alpha. A powerful one. What if his pack declares war on us?”
Old Mr. Kelleigh rubbed his chin. His expression was ugly as he said, “Then you three sum up the remaining three quarters of the medical bill.”
“You want us to cover the expenses?” Third Aunt hastily asked.
“What else? Wait for that brat to sue us?” Old Mr. Kelleigh glared angrily at his daughter. “If you don’t contribute to these medical expenses, don’t think you can get a single penny from the coming expropriation compensation!”
Third Aunt did not make a sound anymore. Although she was a daughter who had already married off, the family said before that they would give her a small sum from the expropriation compensation.
Now the whole family had their hopes pinned on this expropriation compensation!
If Grace really started a lawsuit, then maybe Grace could have a piece of this expropriation compensation pie too.
The large family all looked at each other. Finally, they could only come to the decision to pool the money from the three families.
…
Grace returned to her grandmother’s ward. Her grandmother had already fallen asleep, so Grace sat by the hospital bed and silently watched her grandmother’s sleeping face.
Back then, the person who always protected her was her grandmother, before she went to live with her grandfather on the other side of the family. But now she had gotten old and needed Grace’s protection.
It was hard to imagine.
Wolves were strong. Fierce.
But as they aged, that strength waned too.
Much a in the wold world, a pack had to care for its old, sick and young packmates.
Grace always admired that element of belonging to a pack community.
