Even the neighbor next door poked her head out. “Young man, that girl left this morning. Stop ringing. You’re giving me a Leadache

Under the lady’s unfriendly glare, Carter silently walked away.

Whitney had blocked his number and WhatsApp completely; there was no way to reach her.

He fet a surge of frustration.

The wedding was tomorrow, and she didn’t even plan to come out to admit she was wrong or apologize.

He’d heard that his dad and Samuel had already locked in their business deal. ‘Does she seriously think she’s got any other choice but to marry me?‘ he wondered.

Still, Carter softened a bit. More than anything, he wanted to check on her broken hand.

With a broken hand, how’s she even supposed to wear a wedding dress tomorrow?‘ he wondered.

What he completely forgot was that Whitney hadn’t even shown up for her last wedding dress fitting.

At the hospital, Whitney stood shivering outside the operating room.

She took a deep breath and called Samuel. “Grandma fainted. You need to come to the hospital.”

Her tone was icy, which deeply annoyed Samuel, who was a macho man.

“Whitney, where are you? Do you even realize the wedding is tomorrow? And who the hell was that guy who took you away yesterday he snapped.

If you dare cheat on Carter, then you might as well admit I’m your father,” he warned.

Whinney eyes were cold, a mocking smile curling her lips. “I said Grandma is in the hospital, undergoing emergency greatment And you’re still thinking about the wedding? Dad, Grandma isn’t just my grandmother. She’s your mother, too.

Samuel finally grasped what she’d just said.

He’d been fuming all night, so when he picked up, he immediately unloaded on her.

Jant your grandma in the nursing home? How did she suddenly faint?” Samuel said.

Whitney took a steadying breath. I don’t know. She’s still in surgery. When are you coming?”

Samuel glanced at the time. I have to meet a cooperative partner later. I can’t skip this business. I’ll send Laura to the hospital first. I’ll come once I’m done.”

How could my dad be this heartless? Whitney thought, feeling a wave of disbelief.

The woman on the operating table was his mother.

Seriously Is his business worth more than his own mother?‘ Whitney fumed.

Whitney’s voice froze. If that’s the case, then don’t bother to come.”

After hanging up, she quietly sat outside the OR, her whole body chilled.

Her grandmother was the only family member who had ever shown her warmth since her mother passed.

Whitney could bear being hurt herself, but not her grandmother.

She swiped her phone screen and dialed a number.

In Lillyand, Klein absentmindedly watched the people at the dinner table raise their glasses and chat.

She hadn’t replied to his messages last night.

Is she annoyed that I’m being too clingy?‘ Klein wondered.

Klein stared at her WhatsApp profile picture.

He wanted to see more, but there was nothing there.

KH: [Dustin, come to my place and film my rabbit.]

Dustin: [What rabbit? Where did you get a rabbit? Since when do you keep rabbits?]

K.H. [Stop talking and go film it.]

Klein transferred 8 thousand to Dustin.

Dustin was stunned for a moment.

Dustin [Mr Harris, you think I’m some beggar you can brush off?]

Half an hour later. Dustin saw a fresh post from Klein on his social feed. [Who wants to name this little guy?]

After posting Klem happily clicked the first like that popped up, but it was Lena who responded.

Late (Wow Uncle Klein, you got a bunny? So cute, looks like I want to pet it.]

But the person he truly cared about didn’t react at all.
