Chapter 113
“Quinn, can you tell me what you said to Grandma?” I asked after taking a deep breath.
“Mary and I talked about some family matters. They were all trivial matters in life. She also asked me to take good care of you and Benedict. Quinn finished his summary and asked me, “When I saw Mary, she was in good condition. Why did she suddenly have a heart attack and die?”
I didn’t answer him. Instead, I pressed on. “Did you say anything else to Granny, then?”
Quinn heaved a sigh of relief and asked me anxiously, “Natalia, what on earth happened? Your tone is not right. Tell me the
truth.”
I had no choice but to tell him the truth. I told him about York’s guess and Aiden’s words. “The current situation is very disadvantageous to you. You came to the care home today to look for Aiden and met Grandma. This is too much of a coincidence.
“I don’t recommend that you appear in the hospital. Even if I want to believe you, my mother and York are in a state of grief. If you come, I’m afraid the situation will become chaotic.”
I told Quinn about my concerns but didn’t mention a word about the argument between York and me.
Now that things had developed to this point, York’s murderous gaze just now made me terrified. I didn’t want

him.
Mary’s death was a huge blow to me and my family, especially Shirley. If York and Quinn fought and both sides suffered, how would Shirley feel?
Quinn’s deep voice suddenly sounded, interrupting my wandering thoughts.
“Natalia, as long as you trust ine. His tone softened as he told me, “As for the rest, I’ll find a way to prove myself.”
His steady, gentle voice had the power to soothe. “Okay,” I agreed “Tim sure you can do it”
After hanging up, I realized that Aiden was no longer there. I returned to the observation room and saw Shirley leaning against the head of the bed with a pale face.
York, on the other hand, had a sullen expression on his face. He sat beside the bed and held Shirley’s hand. Most likely, he had already told her about Aiden’s testimony.
“Natalia, how could this be? Quinn was too unreasonable, wasn’t he?” Ben was mad. When he saw me enter, he couldn’t help but complain.
Shirley seemed to have been provoked by his words. She grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at Ben.

crazily and rushed toward Ben without even putting on her shoes. “Who’s the unreasonable one? Tell me clearly
I cried out, “Mom!”
York yelled, “Mont
We didn’t expert Shirley to have such a reaction. While we were shocked, we quickly went to stop het.
“Ben, it’s you. It’s all your fault! You hud
killed my motted!”
Shirley scratched Ben continuously. She no longer had her usual gentle and elegant appearance. Mary & death had become The fast straw.

Chapter 113
Ben was almost hurt by Shirley. He cried out in pain, “Shirley, calm down, You’re…”
I quickly pulled Ben away and said sternly, “Go out first. Don’t agate my mother anymore.”
York hugged the barefooted Shirley in his arms and comforted ber softly, “Mom, I’ll carry you back to the hospital bed first. If Grandma is still around, her heart will definitely ache for you
The scene was chaotic, and the atmosphere was especially sole.
“Dad, go out first and let Mom calm down,” I reminded Ben.
Ben gave me a long look mixed with guilt and embarrassment. He nodded and left the observation room.
“Natalia… Shirley choked as she called out to me.
I quickly walked to the bed. York glanced at me from the corner of his eye and made way for me.
At that moment, the medical staff came to inform the family to go to the doctor’s office. The death certificate and related procedures required the family’s signature.
York glanced at Shirley, who was disheveled and emotionally distraught, and stood up to take action. “Natalia, I’ll head to the doctor’s office. Stay here and take good care of Mom.”
I nodded in response. After watching York leave, I got up and poured a cup of hot water for Shirley.
“Mom, although grandma has passed away, you have to be well. You still have me and York. I helped Shirley tidy up the loose hair by her ear and tried to comfort her.
“Natalia, was what York said just now true?” Shirley held my hand and asked me for confirmation.
I looked into her tearful eyes and felt my heart ache unbearably
“Did Quinn really tell your grandma about your father’s affair with Bernie?” Shirley didn’t hear my reply and stubbornly questioned me. She weakly shook my hand.
“Natalia, why aren’t you answering? Is it that difficult to tell me the truth?” Shirley cried as she spoke. Her hand that was holding onto mine trembled uncontrollably.
1 pursed my lips and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, there’s no evidence to prove that Grandma’s sudden heart attack is related to Quinn.”
“But York said that Aiden personally heard Quinn’s conversation with your grandmal” Shirley retorted.
“Mom, I’m afraid the testimony of Aiden alone is not enough to prove that Quinn caused Grandma’s death.” I pursed my lips. It was undeniable that Quinn was indeed the biggest suspect now.
Shirley’s eyelashes drooped, and tears streamed down her face. She leaned against my shoulder and burst into tears. Amidst Shirley’s intermittent cries, I gently stroked her back. I had mixed feelings in my heart as I shed tears silently. This was the hardest night I’d ever had. Even after all the things Id been through, it couldn’t compare to losing Mary tonight.
Mary’s usually kind and caring expression flashed across my mind. Every image and freeze touched my heart.
Now, my kind and adorable grandma had completely left me and this world, yet she used such a cruel method to bid farewell to us.
Quinn might be the most suspicious suspect, but at the end of the day, Ben had betrayed Shirley and his marriage, which

was the truth that Mary could not accept.
I hugged Shirley whose face was covered in tears and watched ashe gradually quietened down and fell asleep in my arms.
The door of the ward was pushed open. York walked in with a few receipts. He stopped in front of me and glanced at me indifferently.
“Mom is asleep. If you have anything to say, we can talk slowly when we go out later,” I reminded York
York snorted. “If it’s really for Mom’s sake, you should ask Quinn to tell you the truth. I’ll say it again. I won’t let him off this time!”
I frowned but couldn’t be bothered with York.
I only pinned my hopes on Quinn and hoped that he could prove his innocence as soon as possible. The feeling of being pulled and tortured by kinship and love was indeed not good.
After a night, Grandma’s body had been transferred to the funeral home. The obituary was released very quickly. Many relatives and friends rushed over to pay their respects when they received the news. Quinn also arrived immediately.
