Chapter 336
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Albert paused. Suddenly, the look on his face turned awkward. âOf course.â
Everyone shifted their gaze to Albert. Arthurâs expression was rather calm as he said to Albert, âGive the card back to her.â
Dahlia immediately said, âItâs just a little compensation from us.â
Lydia quickly added, âDad, you wouldnât have been injured if it werenât for her daughter. Itâll cost quite a sum for you to stay in the hospital anyway. Theyâre just doing what theyâre supposed to.â
Arthur shifted his gaze to Lydia. âThereâs no reason for me to accept it because the fall isnât the reason why Iâm admitted. How is this different from blackmailing if I were to accept it?â He then looked at Arthur. âGive it back.â
Albert figured he should not say anything else after hearing what Arthur said in front of everyone. He gave the card back to Dahlia.
Dahlia frowned slightly. âYou can let us know if you need help in any other way.â
Arthur waved his hand. âI accept her apology. You guys can go home now.â
Albert was afraid that Dahlia would be offended, so he said to Arthur softly, âDad, they just got here.â
Arthur was not bothered at all as he frowned and said, âLook at how tiny this room is. I canât even breathe well with all the people around me. Do you want to die of suffocation instead?â
Albert choked.
The look on Dahliaâs face was not looking very good either. âHeâs chasing us out without even letting us stay for a while. Heâs making me look so bad.â
Then, she said with a sullen face, âWeâll stop disturbing you now if thatâs the case. Aurora, come on.â
Aurora broke free of the bodyguards and left with Dahlia.
Albert quickly went after them. âDahlia, Iâll walk you out.â
Lydia secretly followed them when nobody was watching her.
Everyone in the ward left one by one. In the end, Keegan and Stella were the only ones left inside.
Arthur waved his hand and called to his great-granddaughter. âStella, Iâm hungry. Would you go downstairs and buy some sandwiches for me?â
Stella looked at Keegan. She knew that Arthur wanted to talk to Keegan alone.
She pursed her lips and said, âWhat kind of sandwiches?â
Arthur put on his usual smile. âThe ones with grilled pork tenderloin and some garlic.â
After Stella left, Arthur leaned on his bed with a pale face. Then, he said softly, âKeegan, would you flip me over?â
Keegan immediately stepped forward and held him to flip him over. He lifted the blanket and saw several streaks of blood on Arthurâs back, and his hand trembled.
Stella bumped into Aurora after she bought the sandwiches in the lobby.
and Aurora had her head down as she played with her phone. There was a smile on her face, she did not show the slightest hint of remorse as someone who just did something wrong. Thinking about how weak Arthur looked while lying on the hospital bed, Stella clenched her fists tight and walked toward Aurora.
Aurora finally noticed her after Stella kept staring at her.
She put her phone away and glowered at Stella. She smirked after looking at the sandwiches in Stellaâs hand. âIt looks like he could still eat after that fall, huh? Heâs just pretending, right?â
Stella ignored her and went around her to go to the elevator.
Aurora scoffed. âI thought your family was very noble, yet you asked for the card back after rejecting it.
The old man is so much smarter than all of you by compromising to get something more. Itâs aâshame that my brother asked me here to apologize when none of you even wanted that. All that you want is money. How ridiculous.â
