The Whole Family Spoils the Reborn Hidden Queen novel Chapter 148

“Whether you can find him and persuade him to act depends entirely on your abilities.”

The doctor finished, his eyes still holding a trace of reverent awe for the legend.

“Thank you, doctor. I’ll figure something out,” Morris replied.

He sank into a chair in the waiting area, defeated.

The world was vast. What power did he have to locate such a legendary figure?

Charlie stepped forward. Having watched Morris grow up and served Madam Turner for decades, her words carried a certain weight.

“Madam Turner is so terribly ill. Why haven’t the children come to see her? And where is Larissa? She should be here, caring for her.”

Morris explained quietly, “The kids are busy with work and school. They don’t have time to come to the hospital.

“But they all asked me to pass along their regards.

“As for Larissa… I’ll make sure she comes tomorrow.”

“Well, that’s more like it. Larissa was always so thoughtful and obedient. She was so fond of you. Of course she’ll listen and come.”

Charlie spoke with the easy certainty of someone who didn’t know the full story.

She had no idea that this time, Larissa would not be returning.

Morris’s mind flashed to the last time he had seen her.

That profound disappointment etched on her face.

He had brought Julia and the others to the Sowle gala to make a scene, all to drag Larissa down with them.

After such a betrayal, could there be any forgiveness?

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Larissa saw him waiting outside the Sowle Estate.

The ground near his feet was littered with cigarette butts.

He reeked of smoke, stubble shadowed his jaw, and exhaustion lined his face.

Had he been there all night?

Either way, it was no concern of hers.

She moved to walk past him toward the family car.

Chapter 148 A Plea on Deaf Ears

“Larissa, I need to talk to you.”

Morris stubbed out his cigarette and stepped into her path.

Larissa regarded him with an icy detachment, as if he were a stranger.

“Go ahead. What do you want, Mr. Turner? You wouldn’t be here without a reason.”

“Larissa, I’m here to apologize. Sincerely.

“It was all my fault before. Now that I’ve finally found you, can we go somewhere to talk?

“I want to make things right.”

He reached out, fingers brushing her sleeve in a plea.

“I never thought I’d see the day of you humbling yourself to apologize to me, Mr. Turner.

“You must want something quite desperately.

“Just say it. What is it you hope to get from me now?

“And what gives you the right to ask me for anything?

“Need I remind you? We severed all ties. We are nothing to each other.”

Her words were daggers, each one finding its mark.

Morris flinched but pressed on, gritting his teeth.

“You’re right, I was wrong.

“But Larissa… Grandmother is very sick. The doctor says only the Wonder Doctor can save her, and I have no way to find him.

“But Charlie mentioned when Grandmother had episodes before, it was always you by her side, caring for her. I’m begging you, for the sake of the family that raised you, please go and take care of her.”

Larissa’s laugh was sharp and brittle.
