chapter 43
Zara spoke up first. “Would you be me to wake Mrs. Newton Senior? She’s been adding about you a lot lately. If she know you were here, she’d be thrilled.”
Samantha shook her head “Let’s not wake her up; she needs her rest. I’ll come back to visit het later.”
“Alright. Be sure to visit often she’s really lonely.”
Samantha was about to say goodbye to Zara When she heard Matthew’s voice outside the hospital room. “How’s everything going with Mr. Garren?
“You need to hurry up. That old hag doesn’t have much time lett.
“Alright, I believe in you. I’m very happy to have a daughter like you. You’re so much more capable than Samantha. Of course, I’ve always put my hopes on you. That’s why chow you without hesitation back then.”
Mathew’s loud voice could be heard even through the soundproofed room Samantha’s chest tightened. Even though they weren’t related by blood, they had been family for so many years. How could be be so indifferent to her?
Zara oponed her mouth as if she wanted to comfort her, but Samantha was already hoading to the bathroom. “I don’t want to see him. Please don’t tell him I’m here.”
“Understood. Don’t worry about it.”
Samantha slipped inside and shut the door behind her Moments later, the hospital room door swing open. Matthew’s voice was as loud and overbearing as ever. “How’s she doing? Sul as bad as before? If she doesn’t get the surgery, how much longer does she have?”,
Zara gently rentinded him, “Mrs. Newton Senior is sleeping.”
“I need to have a word with her. She has to wake up eventually anyway. Looks like things aren’t looking good, after all?
“yes. Her condition looking great!
“Figures. Step outside. I have something to discuss with her.”
Please be mindfull of what you say. She’s in a fragile state, and she can’t handle any more stress.”
“Get out. This don’t care you.”
Zara’s footsteps faded, and the door clicked shut,
“Mom, wake up.”
Samanida denched her fit inside the bathrop, worked about Cynthia but unwilling to come face–to–face with Matthew.
After a long silence, a weak voks sounded “Mart, you’re here.”
