Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 258

After lunch, Carla left Noah and went back home.

In the hospital, Edmund stayed beside his father until late that night.

"Father, it's already too late. You can go back home and take a bit of rest. I will stay here with grandfather, Okay?" Marcus saw that Edmund was not planning on leaving anytime soon so he suggested that he would stay with his grandfather to allow Edmund to rest at home.

"It's okay. I want to stay here with your grandfather." Edmund sighed deeply while looking at Nicholas who was still lying on the sickbed.

Marcus pulled up a chair and sat beside his father. "Father, I am not used to seeing my grandfather looking so vulnerable. I should have done my best to become more like the filial grandson that he deserved. Besides, you are also not that young anymore. Staying up late like this will do harm to your health," said Marcus while still trying to persuade Edmund to go back home.

Edmund felt a tinge of gratification at Marcus' words.

At least Marcus still had his conscience. He knew that he needed to give filial piety to his elders.

"Well, in that case, I am going back home to rest. You must take good care of your grandfather, okay? You can call me at any time if something happens," Edmund said while standing up from his chair and rubbing his waist.

Marcus quickly stood up and helped his father walk out of the room.

"Father, you have been troubled with pains because you've been sitting here whole time. You need a good rest. I will be here with grandfather. You can ease your mind because everything will be alright," Marcus promised.

Edmund walked to the door of the room and took one last look at his father. Then he said, "I will go back first. I will trust him in your care. There is not much time left for those at such an old age like your grandfather. Just do what you are supposed to do. Do not work yourself too much."

Edmund was then supported by his butler who was waiting outside the room. Then they walked away when he was finished his words.

While watching Edmund leave, Marcus' face slowly turned from a concerned grandson to that of a dark and gruesome person bit by bit.

Marcus thought that he must take advantage of this chance to get Nicholas out of his way. He already caused a lot of troubles for Marcus. Nicholas was the greatest threat to him. He was the one who was more likely to find some evidence about Terence's death in NF.

It was a lot easier to deal with his father and his men without his grandfather's interruption.

His father already knew about everything and was very much disappointed in him.

He could not wait any longer. This was the best chance for him to get what he wants.

When the clock struck midnight, Marcus sent away the two nurses on duty and made sure that nobody was around. Then he entered Nicholas' room.

He was hiding a syringe in his sleeve.

"Grandpa, why do you always oppose me? I did not want it to end this way. Terence was already gone. Why couldn't you just let me off the hook?"

Marcus said to Nicholas who was lying silently on his bed.

"It's true that I secretly took possession of the minerals that once belonged to the AJ Group but wouldn't it still be the property of the Ans if I were to take the seat as the successor? Why did you have to be so angry at me? You wanted to take me down. You're the one who pushed me to do these awful things,"

Marcus continued as he took out the syringe and played with it in his hand.

"I respected you. Did you know that? I was prepared to do my best as the filial grandson but...

you never accepted me as part of your family. I am doing this because of you. You are the one to blame!

Terence and I are both your grandson. Why did you play favorites? Am I not worthy?"

Marcus stretched out his leg and stepped on Nicholas' breathing tube while still talking to him. "You once pushed me to my death. I almost died. Now, did you really think that I would still let you live?"

Nicholas began breathing raggedly because of the lack of oxygen.

Since you love your grandson Terence so much, why don't I let you go to hell to finally be reunited with him forever?"

The gruesome expression on Marcus's face at that moment was enough to even scare off little kids. "Did you know? I already found Terence's body and I even did the DNA test to identify him. It was indeed your grandson.

What does it feel to know that your grandson is already dead? Let me guess, you have no desire to live any longer, don't you?"

Marcus was still stepping on the breathing tube. He saw Nicholas gasp for air.
