The Reborn Hidden Heiress: Spoiled by All (Larissa) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 The National Academic Competition

“How could it be this serious now?

“Are you lying to me?

“Why would I need the Wonder Doctor?

“Son, I think these doctors are just trying to scam us. I don’t believe them.

“Go get Larissa. I’ll be fine after she takes care of me for a few days.”

“Fine. I won’t force you to return to Eldercrown, and I won’t push you into blind dates anymore.

“But you must send me her photo someday.

“Otherwise, I’ll assume you’re lying to an old woman like me.”

Having achieved his goal, Wesley nodded. “I’ll try. So, Grandma, can you be discharged now and go home?”

At the same time, at Brightwell Hospital.

Finished

Madam Turner’s condition was worsening by the day. She had been hospitalized for a week, and aside from Morris, no one else had come to see her.

People her age liked liveliness.

She desperately wanted to see the granddaughter she had always doted on, Julia.

Even Larissa–whom she used to dislike–hadn’t come.

When Morris came to visit again that day, and she saw he was still alone, she clutched her chest in anger.

“Where is everyone?

“I’ve been in the hospital for so long. Why hasn’t a single one of them come to see me?

“I’m not dead yet!

“Do I mean so little to them now?”

“They’re all busy, Mom. Once they’re free, I’ll have them come see you.”

Morris had no choice but to make up that lie.

These past days–trouble at the company, his mother’s illness–had forced him to see many things clearly.

He had been wrong.

Of all the children, only Larissa had ever been wholeheartedly devoted to him.

And what had he done in return?

Was blood really more important than anything else?

For the first time, he began to doubt himself.

“They’re busy?

“The family is on the verge of bankruptcy, so what could they possibly be busy with?

“And what about Larissa, that ungrateful animal? Why hasn’t she come to take care of me?

“She’s not in school, and she doesn’t have a job, so what could she possibly be busy with?

“I suppose I’m just an unwanted and ignored old woman now.”

Finished

At her age, all she wanted was to be surrounded by children and grandchildren. What was wrong with that?

“Mom, how can you call Larissa that?

“No matter what, she’s the child I adopted.

“Even if we’re not related by blood, she grew up by my side.

“She was always so filial. She was the one taking care of you when you were sick. Why did you give all the credit to Julia?

“Because of that, I thought Larissa had been lying all along.”

Only now did Morris understand why Larissa had been so resolute in leaving the family.

No matter how sincere she had been, everything she did in the family had been trampled on.

How many times had he wronged and misunderstood her?

“I did nothing wrong.

“No matter how sensible Larissa was, she had no blood ties to me.

“In the end, she’s still an outsider.

“Julia is different. Everything I have–everything in this family–will eventually belong to her.”

Madam Turner valued bloodline above all else.

When she learned she had a biological granddaughter, she had been overjoyed.

Her two grandsons were adopted, and Larissa was adopted as well.

Only Julia was truly hers by blood.

Naturally, all the outsiders should pave the way for her.

“Mom, since you don’t think you’re wrong, then let me tell you this–Larissa has already left. She’s not coming back.

“She’s now the treasured daughter of the Sowles.

“After how you treated her, why would she return to take care of you?”

Morris felt utterly drained.

“Your condition is getting worse. So, apart from the Wonder Doctor, no one can cure you.

“But no one can find him. There’s nothing I can do.”

Now, Madam Turner began to panic.

“Isn’t my illness the same as before?

“Back then, I recovered in just a few days when Larissa stayed by my side.”

“Do you think I haven’t tried?

“You completely broke her heart after how you treated her. Why would she come back to care for you?

“If you don’t believe me, call her yourself.”

Madam Turner really did pick up her phone. But she realized that despite being grandmother and granddaughter, she didn’t even have Larissa’s number saved.

All these years, she had never once called her first.

When Larissa was twelve, she had been sent to Ravenmind Island, and Madam Turner had even played a part in it.

Larissa was only twelve at the time, and she was in sixth grade. She had always ranked first in her class as she was bright, gifted, and exceptional.

Afraid Larissa would take everything that should belong to Julia, Madam Turner had quietly fueled the scheme.

Later, Larissa had survived and returned.

Knowing Madam Turner’s health was poor, she had cared for her devotedly,

Yet Madam Turner had credited it all to Julia.

From beginning to end, she had treated Larissa as an outsider.

After getting the number, she dialed.

“Hello?”

“Larissa, it’s your grandmother. I’d like to see you…”

Larissa cut her off coldly.

“Sorry, I don’t know you. Whoever you are, I don’t have a grandmother.”

The call was disconnected before Madam Turner could say anything.

She was both embarrassed and furious.

At her age, no one had ever dared treat her with such disrespect.

“This is outrageous.

“No matter what, I’m her elder.

“We raised her to adulthood, and this is how she repays us?

“Morris, I don’t care what you do. Even if you have to abduct her, you will bring her to see me.”

Morris felt conflicted.

But for his mother’s health, he would have to resort to other means if persuasion failed.

The next day.

Finished

Larissa arrived at school with her backpack. However, she kept feeling as though someone was following

her.

The moment she entered the classroom, she heard her classmates discussing some kind of exam.

Her desk mate, Nancy, immediately filled her in.

“Class A came over to provoke us again.

“This time it’s the National Academic Competition. It covers the entire senior–year, curriculum.

“The prestige is huge.

“Whoever wins first place nationally can be directly admitted to Eldercrown University.

“In the past years, our school has had students admitted that way.

“This year, everyone believes in you.

“Someone from Class A came over to provoke us just now, and they said your midterm score was just luck.

“They say Julia is the most likely to earn the direct admission spot.

“We can’t let them humiliate us like this!

“I’m counting on you!”

“The National Academic Competition? I’m not as good as Julia? Direct admission?”

Larissa rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

“Honestly, I’m not that interested in the admission spot.

“Nothing makes me happier than becoming her obstacle.

“As long as I’m here, she’ll always be second to me, unless it’s something I don’t want.

“Sign me up.”

Just as she finished speaking, Julia walked into the classroom arrogantly.

She glanced at Larissa with disdain.

“Larissa, don’t get cocky just because you did well once. You’re no match for me in this National Academic Competition.

“I suggest you don’t humiliate yourself.

“The competition covers liberal arts, sciences, and a lot of extracurricular knowledge.”
