Chapter 368
During New Year’s, some families were joyful, while others were worried.
During New Year’s, some families were joy
Garrick, knowing it was the night of family gatherings that nobles hold in high regard, was determined to leave the hospital despite the slight pain in his body
Johnson felt helpless. Although all the indicators seemed fine, he was still a bit worried.
If something were to happen after discharge, it wouldn’t just allest the patient but could also cause quite a problem for the hospital’s reputation.
Garrick was already dressed and ready to be discharged. He said, Johnson, don’t worry, I know my body well. There’ll be no
issues.
“Moreover, you know the Hawkins family’s background. We definitely won’t cause trouble for your hospital.”
“But still…” Johnson hesitated to say more.
Garrick interrupted him, “Our Hawkins family can fully fund that new hospital wing of yours that’s currently on hold. I’ll have my butler, Conon, contact you later.”
At this, the doctor’s expression completely changed. “Well, thank you so much, Mr. Hawkins. Make sure to take care of yourself at home, and call me if anything comes up.
Once Garrick returned home, he felt much better. “It’s already New Year, why haven’t we heard from Hannia yet? You’re her mom. Can’t you get a hold of her?”
Gina looked a bit upset. “It’s New Year’s and I want my daughter home, but I really can’t get in touch with her.
“Yulia said she’d help me look around these days. They had a good relationship when they were younger, so now I can only count on her.”
Garrick seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but that was the reality, and nothing could be done.
Over at the Muller family at the foot of Azure Peak, following the old traditions in Hamolica, Rayburn set up an altar at the
entrance.
Rita, Jason, and Yulia all went out to honor their ancestors, and then they prepared to return to their own rooms.
During this time, Rayburn and Rita didn’t even glance at each other.
At this time, Rita had already returned to her own residence.
Seeing this, before returning to the Hawkins residence, Yulia called out to Rayburn, “Grandpa, Jason, Happy New Year!”
Jason nodded but didn’t say anything.
Rayburn turned to look at her and said, “Good. Yulia, it’s New Year. If my words still hold any weight, listen to me. Protect yourself, don’t fall for others‘ lies, and don’t fantasize about things or people that don’t belong to you!”
Once he finished speaking, Rayburn went straight back into his room.
Yulia stood almost frozen, feeling like her feet were made of lead. She wanted to return to the Hawkins residence but couldn’t take a step.

Chapter 368
It wasn’t until Rita sent someone to call her for dinner that she finally mumbled an “oh” and followed the servant.
At the dinner table, looking at the lavish spread, Yulia hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “Grandma, Grandpa just reminded me of something. Do you think he found out?”
“What could he know? He doesn’t understand anything! He’s not it to be a husband and has no right to say these things!” Rita exclaimed, a rare flash of anger crossing her face.
Yulia had never seen her grandma like this. To her, Grandma had always been composed, dignified, and poised, never showing such emotions.
But Yulia understood that these, outbursts were provoked by her grandpa, and she felt deep sympathy for her grandma
Reaching out to hold Rita’s hand, she said softly, “Grandma, it’s okay. I’m here with you.”
Only then did Rita smile, “The child 1, Rita, personally raised is indeed very caring. Remember to dress up nicely tomorrow. Grandma is taking you somewhere special for New Year’s
“Huh? Where to?” Yulia asked.
Rita looked at her and said. “The Betrico Central Mansions in Clusia.”
Yulia’s eyes widened in shock. “Isn’t that, Clusia…
Yulia didn’t dare to say what came next.
Rita nodded, “That’s right. I’ve got some connections with Mary. Taking you to give her New Year greetings is just a way you to make a good impression. Because she is also Morris’s maternal grandmother.
Yulia understood immediately and looked gratefully at Rita.
Rita patted her hand and said, “Good girl. These days, there’s quite a bit going on, whether it’s with our family or the Hawkins family. We’re all connected
“When one succeeds, we all succeed. When one suffers, we all suffer! Now your grand–uncle is having health issues, and Camellia, who was doing well, has ended up in jail.
“This has made the already women–dominated Hawkins family even worse. Grandma knows you’ve been close to Hannia since childhood. If you can, try to persuade her to come home for a visit. After all, her mom and grandpa are waiting for her at home.
Yulia had heard about Hannia’s situation. Initially, she opposed the arranged marriage, but given the Hawkins family’s current situation…
She thought for a moment and then said, “Alright, Grandma, after visiting the Betrico Central Mansions tomorrow, I’ll try to contact her.”
Rita nodded and took a gift from her pocket, “Good child, happy New Year. Grandma wishes all your dreams come true!”
