Chapter 333
Arthur was very sharp. He had lived for many years, and he knew very well what everyone, including Aurora, was thinking.
He was going to turn ninety soon and had lived longer than most people. Some of his children even passed away before him. He only had one child left, and he had also been bedridden
himself.
He drifted apart from his grandchildren after his children passed away too. He had been living alone for so many years in his old home, and his family would rarely pay him a visit. However, all his good and dutiful family members returned to take care of him after he received the compensation.
He knew very well that those people were only doing that for the money he had.
He was already so old. He started not taking materialistic things like money seriously long ago. He also knew that nobody would visit him anymore if he were to divide the money between those people.
He started to become a burden as he grew older.
So, he told them he wanted to come to Rivera when he still had the money. All of them obeyed him because he had what they wanted.
He watched the television with other patients in the hospital. He saw Stella’s face on the screen while they talked about the plot, and he suddenly wanted to meet his great- granddaughter, whom he had not met for a long time.
Stella was different from those people. She would stop him from eating confectionaries, smoking, and drinking. She would also be worried for him and switch on the heater, in case he woke up in the middle of the night.
Stella had never changed. She would always put the feelings of others before her own.
She was that sensible.
Stella held her tears back and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll make the Kane family apologize to you.”
Arthur waved his hand. “She’s just an insolent brat. You can’t expect anything good from her.” Then, he grabbed Stella’s hand and put the bankbook into her hand. “Hide it well. Don’t let your uncles and aunts see it.”
