Chapter 156

“Grandma, I want to ask you something. Can you tell me the truth?” Rosalie asked.

“What is it?”

“When Cynthia had her double lung transplant surgery, did you stop it?

“Double lung transplant?” Rebecca pondered for a moment, a hint of confusion in her eyes. “Oh, I

remember now. I did make some inquiries.”

“Did you really stop it?”

“When I heard that woman was sick and needed surgery, I didn’t believe it. I thought she was faking

it, so I made some inquiries. After a few phone calls, I didn’t hear anything more about it. What’s the

matter?” Rebecca explained.

“Cynthia told me that back then, you delayed her lung transplant surgery so you could force Theo to

marry me. One of the lungs that was supposed to be transplanted into her had problems. Now, she

only has one lung. Her health is poor, which led to heart problems as well.”

“Oh, I see.”

After hearing this, Rebecca patted the armrest of the sofa calmly.

“That woman is really cunning. She’s blaming me for everything. No wonder Theo isn’t very willing

to come see me. He must have

believed her nonsense.

Rosalie was somewhat excited. “Are you saying that you really didn’t do it?”

“Of course I didn’t do it! I do dislike Cynthia, but I wouldn’t do something like that. Rose, you’ve

been fooled by her. That woman. talks nonsense all the time. Besides Theo, who else would beli

her? Her tricks are only effective on love–struck men.”

Rosalie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Rebecca hadn’t done it!

Seeing Rosalie relax, Rebecca frowned slightly. “You didn’t actua believe that woman’s words, did

you? Did you actually think I did something like that?”

Rosalie hurriedly explained, “No, Grandma. I was just doubtful, bu never actually thought it was you.

I just didn’t dare to ask you. I wa afraid you’d worry if you knew about it, so I kept it to myself.”

She had been hiding it for so long, but in reality, Rebecca was ver clever and had already guessed

it.

“You’re always making things difficult for yourself,” Rebecca said, feeling sorry for Rosalie.

Suddenly, the two of them fell into silence.

Seeing Rosalie looking dejected, Rebecca finally asked, “Have you really decided to divorce

Theo?”

“Grandma, he doesn’t love me. Continuing this marriage is harmful to both of us, so I…” Rosalie felt

a heavy burden in her chest. “I’m sorry. Grandma.”

She tried her best not to cry, or show her sadness.

“Do you really think he doesn’t have feelings for you, or do you think he likes Cynthia and doesn’t

love you? I can find a way to deal with that woman…”

Rebecca wanted to intervene.

“No, Grandma.” Rosalie hurriedly interrupted

anything. Let them be. I’m just so, so tired.”

Rebecca gently patted Rosalie’s head. “You’re such a silly child. It seems you’ve been through a lot

since that woman came back. Theo must have mistreated you.

Rosalie felt a pang in her heart. She was almost unable to hold back her tears and throw herself

into Rebecca’s arms to cry, but she couldn’t do that.

“Grandma, he didn’t mistreat me…”

“You’re still defending him at this point. I don’t know what’s so good about that woman. Can’t he see

his father’s mistake? And yet, he’s walking down the same path!”

Rebecca’s voice carried righteous anger.
