Chapter 1028

Grandma was furious and raised her cane to strike Marilyn.

At first, Marilyn tolerated her, but later, she couldn’t stand it anymore. She pushed her hard and angrily

shouted, “Will you ever stop, you old h*g?!”

Smack!

Grandma, who was already in poor physical and emotional condition, stumbled and fell to the ground,

motionless.

“Grandma!”

“Grandma!!”

Marilyn was terrified and hurried over to check her grandma’s breathing.

She’s still alive!

However, her condition was deteriorating.

Marilyn was torn and struggled internally!

She could call 911 now, and there might still be a chance to save her grandma. However, if her

grandma survived, she might not be able to leave this wretched place!

After much hesitation, Marilyn clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.

“Grandma, you’re almost 80! Your life is coming to an end, while mine is just beginning. I can’t give up

my life because of you. Farewell on your journey!”

Marilyn chose to do nothing and just watched her grandma lay on the ground as her situation

worsened!

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly snapped to attention at the sound of knocking at the

door.

“Grandma, open the door. I’m Shane!”

Outside, Shane was knocking on the door with some food and supplies.

Red had left. So, he was caring for her grandma and Marilyn in Red’s place, but unexpectedly, he

heard someone inside exclaim, “Help! Someone, please save my grandma! Help!”

What’s going on?

Shane was startled and quickly burst through the door.

Two hours later, Terence and Alfred arrived again at the town’s clinic and found Marilyn and Shane

guarding a ward.

“Marilyn, what happened? What’s going on? How is your grandma now?” Terence asked three

questions in a row, his nervousness evident in his words.

“Sob! Old Mr. Quillen, my grandma has also passed away!”

As soon as Marilyn saw Terence, she hugged him tightly and burst into tears.

Upon seeing this scene, Shane was also shocked. He had been comforting Marilyn for so long, but she

only cried into her hands. But now, she willingly threw herself into Terence’s arm the moment she saw

him.

Alfred also felt that something was not quite right, but since Terence seemed to dote on this young girl,

he didn’t say anything.

“Everything will be alright. Take care, and accept my condolences! Sigh…” Terence gently patted

Marilyn’s back and sighed deeply.

At this moment, Mackenzie also came to the ward with Emmanuel, accompanied by Beatrix.

They could clearly sense that Terence seemed much older than before, and his eyes had become dim

due to various saddening emotions.

“Who is that girl?” Mackenzie asked with narrowed eyes as she stared at Marilyn since she had never

seen Terence being held so tightly by a woman before.

“Mackenzie, her name is Marilyn. She saved Grandpa’s life!” Beatrix rushed to explain.

“Not only that, but Grandpa and her grandmother had a long conversation and seemed to have a deep

connection. Now her grandmother and sister are both dead, so she must be very sad,” Emmanuel

added.

“Is that so?”

After listening to the story, Mackenzie didn’t bother to interrupt for now, but like Alfred, she couldn’t help

but feel that Marilyn wasn’t as innocent as she seemed.

“Marilyn, stop crying!”

Shane felt that it wasn’t a solution for her to keep crying while holding onto Terence. He quickly walked

over to comfort her and gently pulled her away.

“Your sister is gone, but I promise I will take good care of you in her place!” Shane said sincerely.

Emmanuel watched with a smile. Shane would get nervous in front of the woman he liked, but he dared

to promise anything to other women.

Marilyn wiped away her tears and didn’t respond to his words as she didn’t need Shane to take care of

her.

What she wanted was Terence’s care. Old Mr. Quillen is much wealthier than him!

Terence could give her an exciting/life, material possessions, and even access to the upper class that

she had never had before. On the other hand, what could Shane give her?

He couldn’t give her anything! And he didn’t even have good looks. She didn’t need Shane to take care

of her.

“That’s right, Marilyn. Stop crying!”
