Chapter 134 I Must Have Been Blind

“Mom! Mom!” Susan grasped Elisa’s hand, placing her ear close to the latter’s lips. “What do you want to say?”

However, Elisa found herself unable to speak. In the end, she couldn’t even cry out, only managing some hoarse gasps.

Susan was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She snapped her head around and shouted, “Lysanne, stop yelling! Grandma is speaking! This might be her last words!”

However, Lysanne turned a deaf ear to her. She moved past Josiah to hit Lysander again, but Josiah held her back firmly. Thus, she could only continue hurling insults. “Lysander, you vixen and b*tch! Don’t think you can turn things around just because you have his grandmother’s approval. Let me tell you this–Josiah has liked me for many years and will never fall for you! You might as well give up on him! If I ever catch you seducing him again, I’ll hit you every time I see you-”

“Mom! Mom!”

Beep!

The ECG monitor blared, its display reduced to a single flat line..

Elisa still had her mouth wide open, her eyes bulging, bringing her regrets to the grave.

Instantly breaking down, Susan collapsed onto Elisa and wept bitterly. “Mom, Mom, wake up, Mom. You still haven’t finished your words to us…

Η

The sound from the ECG monitor was beyond grating to the ears.

Lysanne finally calmed down. She looked at the flat line on the ECG monitor in surprise, almost in disbelief. “She’s dead just like that? How fast.”

Josiah dropped his hands that held Lysanne back, his expression grieving. He glanced at the ECC monitor before turning his eyes to Lysander pleadingly. “Lysander…”

Lysander knew what he wanted to ask.

Susan also lifted her head and looked at her tearfully. “Lysander, what do we do now?”

“I’ll go and get the doctor to see if they can still do a final resuscitation. But…”

She was also a doctor, and her final “but” had essentially sealed the fate of the situation.

Her eyes were also slightly red–rimmed. Elisa had been kind to her while alive, and knowing that the elderly. woman passed away in such distress, she couldn’t help but feel upset.

Josiah’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently. As he looked at the tragic state of Elisa’s death, his body trembling slightly.

“Excuse me.”

Lysander pushed him away, planning to go out and get the doctor over.

However, Lysanne stretched out both arms and blocked her path. “Where are you going?”

322 PM 4.

Chapter 134 1 Must Have Been Blind

Without missing a beat, Lysander raised her hand and struck the woman hard across the face.

Lysanne was knocked off her feet, sprawling onto the adjacent hospital bed. Cradling her face, she stared at Lysander in disbelief. “You dared to hit me? Josiah! I’ve been struck, and you aren’t even saying a work? Hit her back for me now, right this instant!”

Josiah turned a deaf ear to her. With a thud, he dropped to his knees before his grandmother’s bed.

Susan had long since broken down in tears. She collapsed into her son’s arms, her fists pounding against his chest and back, the dull thuds of flesh hitting flesh resonating in the air. “This is all because of the wonderful woman you chose! It’s all on you! You ditched a perfectly good marriage, dumped a perfectly good wife, and even lo

your child, all because of her! Now, even your grandmother has died, thanks to her! Are you happy now? It’s all your fault”

Josiah hell with his body hunched over, allowing his mother’s tearful accusations to fall on him and taking punch after punch without a word.

Seeing that Josiah was ignoring her, Lysanne blew up. “Josiah! Are you deaf? Can’t you hear me talking to you?”

After a long while, Josiah’s low and hoarse voice sounded. “I’m not deaf but blind.”

“What are you saying?

“I must have been blind to love you all these years.
