I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 328

The man in the bed chuckled, his eyes showing disbelief. “So you came here today to discuss that old man with me? Kern, that old man is not afraid of me dying. He still has a grandson who can inherit his throne.”

Kern sneered.

“Do you think I want to go back to that filthy place of the Shaws?”

“You don’t want the Shaw Group?” Caden said coldly, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

Kern’s gaze swept past Caden as he looked out of the window. “The Shaw Group is a good thing. I want it. But will you give it to me?”

“You’ll snatch it even if I don’t give it to you, won’t you?”

“Yes I will, from you. But if you die, I won’t snatch it from her.” Kern demonstrated his ambition.

Caden narrowed his eyes and looked at Kern. “You have a deep affection for her. Should I entrust her to you before I die?”

“Save it. You’re sick to death. Aren’t you divorced?

“Then you have nothing to do with her matters.

“Entrust?

“That depends on whether you have the qualifications now.”

Kern finished speaking and stood up. “I’m done visiting you. I should go.”

“You came only to visit me? I didn’t know you were so kind.”

“I’m here to see if you’re dying. After all, we share the same bloodline. Do you think I’m willing to visit you?”

Kern retorted mockingly.

“But don’t worry. When you die, I won’t snatch the Shaw Group.”

Hearing that, Caden, who was lying in the bed, fell silent for a moment. Then he said.

“Alright, remember what you said today.”

“Bye.” The visitor waved one hand casually, put the other hand in his pocket, and left.

Ladd came in. “Boss, Mr. White is here.”

“Is he out?” Caden raised his head. “Then Payne is out of the aseptic room. That’s right, it’s time.”

Humbert, who was at the door, had changed into a white coat. “You’re too sick to care about that loser.”

He was holding Caden’s medical record.

“The tumor in your brain has pressed on the optic and central nerve … Are you having an surgery?”

He wasn’t in a good mood. As soon as he went out of the aseptic room, he learned Caden was seriously sick.

“Back then, you pretended to be mad and said there was blood congestion in your brain. Now something has really grown in your brain.”

“Don’t laugh. Do you know how terrible your condition is?”

Humbert looked serious. “The failure rate of this surgery is very high. Even if we succeed, you’re faced with the risk of paralysis and blindness.”

“The surgery is a must,” the man said calmly as if it wasn’t him who was seriously sick.

“I’ve enjoyed my life. The only regret …” he said, pausing slightly, “Forget it, it’s all over.”

Humbert sneered, “Now you say it’s all over. Why didn’t you say so back then?

“You’re a weird guy.

“Back then, you used all your means to keep her by your side.

“Now that you’re sick, you’re eager to drive her away.”

Humbert felt a little bitter. “Now I believe that you love her badly.”

The man remained silent.

Humbert had to switch to another topic.

“I heard she’s going back to Erhai Lake.”

Hearing this, the man’s body stiffened slightly. After a while, he said hoarsely.

“She likes it there. It’s a good place. Good for her.”

“You’re not seeing her again?

“Perhaps it’ll be your last time.”

As a friend, he hated to say such gloomy words. But as a doctor, he knew how bad his friend’s condition was.

“No … I’m not.” The man looked out of the window. “She’s tired of me. I always knew it.”
