There was no time to think too deeply. Candice returned to the nursing home hurriedly.
The dean and caregivers were at the door of her grandfather’s room. They sighed in relief upon seeing Candice. The dean said, “The old man took his daughter inside, and initially, we could hear the lady crying. We were afraid that Mr. Sundance would get emotionally agitated, so we quickly called you.”
The last time her grandfather was discharged, the doctors had repeatedly emphasized the importance of not letting him get emotionally agitated.
Candice’s gaze darkened slightly. She spoke briefly with the dean and then went forward to knock
on the door.
There was no reply.
Candice said, “Grandpa, it’s me.”
Suddenly, there was a suppressed cough from inside, somewhat rapid.
Candice’s expression.turned cold. She raised her voice. “Yvonne, if you have something to say. say it to me directly!”
There were rustling sounds inside, and then the door opened. Joe appeared, leaning on a cane
and looking quite displeased.
Candice saw Yvonne sitting alone on the sofa inside, wiping away tears with a lowered head.
Joe’s cough brought her back from her thoughts. Candice looked at her grandfather with a frown
and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Joe waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to say more.
He looked at Yvonne in the room, hit his cane on the ground hard, and then sternly scolded her,
You wicked thing, go back to Noxville! In the future, I’ll consider it as if I never had a wicked
daughter like you!”
He spoke urgently, then started coughing violently.
Candice soothed his back to help him catch his breath while looking at Yvonne expressionlessly.”
If you have any conscience left, you’d better leave now.”
Yvonne stood up, and Candice finally saw her face.

She looked thinner and more haggard than the last time. Her left eye was swollen, with red bloodshot corners. Her clothes were disheveled, making her look like a sixty–year–old lady.
Yvonne, however, did not look at Candice but knelt directly!
Candice’s pupils slightly widened. Yvonne had already knelt and was coming toward her grandfather.
“Dad! I beg you, Dad! Save Ivor! If something really happens to him, what am I going to do?!”
“Dad, you can’t ignore us! You just need to talk to that secretary! It’s that simple! Why won’t you help me?!”
Yvonne cried sorrowfully, holding onto Joe’s pants tightly.
Joe hit his cane on the ground again and sternly rebuked. “Get out! Get out of here!”
