The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2360

Selena heard what her aunt said earlier.

Thus, she was a little surprised at how fast her aunt changed her tune.

She thought about it and could not help but admire her aunt’s character.

Selena smiled. “I’m going to see grandpa.”

“Your grandfather is inside. He woke up a while just now, and he has been thinking about you all this time. You’ve been away for three years, yet you didn’t update us about your well-being. You made us worry every day.”

Seeing that her aunt was about to start chattering again, Selena smiled slightly and walked straight to the door of the ward.

“I’ll go in first.”

Selena’s attitude was not friendly.

Her aunt’s face darkened, and she snorted coldly.

“The old man is going to die soon, so who else will coddle her? Contact Derek immediately and ask him to take her away. In the meantime, we can talk to him about his investment in the next project.”

The person next to her nodded in agreement.

Selena pushed the door open and went in.

There were three other people in the ward.

She did not recognize two of them, and the other one was her uncle.

The ward was filled with the smell of medicine and disinfectant, which made the air stale and suffocating.

The three of them watched as Selena came in, and their expressions changed slightly.

Her uncle sat next to her grandfather, and he looked glum.

Standing there, Selena glanced at the person lying on the bed. He was old and wrinkled. His body was reduced to skin and bones. He looked like a shriveled leaf about to fall off a dead branch.

The machine next to him displayed his unsteady heartbeat as it beeped.

Selena felt a chill in the room.

She did not move and was deep in thought without showing any signs of sadness or joy on her face.

Her uncle wanted to scold her, but after some thought, he held back and said in a low voice, “You finally came? You little ingrate… Your grandpa loved you for nothing!”

Selena stood there indifferently. She did not step forward or refute him.

However, her eyes were dim, and there was a dead silence.

After a while, the sleeping person on the bed suddenly moved and breathed quickly.

Her uncle’s face was filled with joy, and he quickly bent down to say, “Dad, are you awake? I’ll get the doctor right now!”

Just as he was about to get the doctor, the old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes.

The old man stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at Selena, who was standing there.

What he wanted was self-evident.

The other two people were shocked as they looked at Selena with gloomy expressions.

Her uncle reluctantly moved out of the way as Selena walked forward slowly. She sat upright and looked at this strange yet familiar old man with a calm expression.

The old man used to be kind to her, but he was extremely vicious.

He raised her and ruined her.

Therefore, she did not have much gratitude or hatred for him.

Her heart was extremely torn.

The old man stared at her for a few seconds.

Neither of them spoke.

Finally, the old man waved his hand to signal everyone else to leave the room.

The uncle’s face was complicated and tangled. “Dad…”

The old man took a deep breath and waved him off.

The uncle gritted his teeth reluctantly and warned Selena.

“Don’t be too hopeful. Whatever your grandfather says doesn’t count because he’s not of sound mind. We won’t acknowledge it.”

Selena frowned slightly. She still did not understand what these words meant.

Soon, she would understand.

Her uncle went out with the other two people and slammed the door shut.

The only sound left in the ward was the sound of the medical instruments beeping.

Selena looked at the old man lying on the bed with a complicated gaze.
