Chapter 344 Never Learn a Lesson
Early in the morning, Sean came to the hospital. He saw Kelly in the ward, looking after Lina, and annoyance flared in his eyes. He stood at the entryway, refusing to go into the room. “If you like my grandmother that much, Miss Hagl, why don’t you take her to your place and care for her
there?”
“Oh, what’s with you getting mad first thing in the morning? She’s just being nice. You’re busy as a bee, and I’m bored living in the hospital alone. It’s nice I get someone to talk with,” Lina chided.
He remained icy and silent.
“Kelly’s the most meticulous woman I’ve ever seen. She even got a chef to make breakfast, especially for me. Not everyone can do that,” she commented, looking at Kelly with affection.
Sean knew she was mocking Abigail on purpose again. “If you like her that much, treat her like your granddaughter. I’m going on a business trip for two weeks. I’ll tell the doctors about it. You rest up. Call Grandpa if you need anything,” he stated calmly and left. He seldom got in touch with Lina anyway, and even if Kelly liked to stay with her, he would not do anything about it. She didn’t learn anything at all. Even after Joan played her like a fiddle, she still doesn’t know how to be cautious Kelly’s a more cunning woman than Joan; she’s a viper. There’s nothing good about staying in touch with her.
Sean knew Lina would never listen to him until she got in trouble. Even if they were to argue, she would just use her heart condition to bully him into silence. As such, all he could do was stay away and talk as little as possible to her.
The moment he turned around, a disgruntled Lina complained, “I got kidnapped and fell sick, yet you’re going on a business trip? How heartless can you be?”
Kelly held Lina’s hand. Nicely, she said, “Old Mrs. Graham, it’s hard to hold up a company alone. He has to do this. You get to live in the best ward and have the best bodyguards because he worked hard for it.”
“I just want him to stay and get along with you,” said Lina.
Kelly smiled. “I’m not close to him. We shouldn’t force him to stay, or things will get awkward.
By then, Sean had already left. Xavien followed him and said quietly, “I’ve told Josh about Kelly’s case. She’s the one who hijacked the network. Probably wanted to use this case to get close to your family.”
Sean nodded. “Let her get close to Grandma. I’d like to see what she’s up to.” He did not mind doing to Kelly what he did to Joan.
Once he was gone, Lina held Kelly’s hand. “If you didn’t do it for him, why did you come to care for me? Do you like him?”
