Chapter 876 – Susan’s Rage
*****“What do you mean the hospital would worsen his health?! Are you hearing yourself?”Xavier opened his mouth, but Susan wasn’t done yet.Her voice only climbed higher and higher, her words sharply cutting through the air.“I thought… I thought you were a decent person! So… so it was you… you convinced my daughter into gambling with her father’s life?!”Every ounce of fury she had thrown at Grace moments ago turned and struck Xavier instead… twice as hard, fueled by guilt, fear, and raw heartbreak.Xavier’s throat went dry.He swallowed hard, trying to form words, but his tongue felt like lead. “I… I…”Susan, however, didn’t give him the chance to speak; instead, she cut him off with a furious glare.“If anything happens to my husband,” she shouted, her voice trembling with emotion, “I swear with my life, I will fight you to my last breath!”Before Xavier could respond, she snatched up her phone with shaking hands and punched in a number. “Hello? Are you an Uber? Get to
Chapter 875 – Susan’s Rage
*****Xavier had never anticipated any of what had just transpired, and so, for a moment, he had no idea what to do.So he just stared, his brain appearing to have become stagnant, before finally… he drew in a careful breath.“Mother,” he said softly, the words startling Susan.Her head instantly snapped toward him, her eyes blinking as though she had only just remembered he existed.Seeing him, her face softened slightly… just a fraction, remembering all the ways he had helped since his arrival.“Yes?” she replied, her voice curt but less sharp now.Xavier hesitated for a moment, measuring every word like stepping over a minefield, before finally speaking carefully. “I think… you’ve misunderstood Grace.”Susan’s brow furrowed instantly, a dangerous spark lighting in her eyes.Her lips parted, ready to fire back… but Xavier pressed on before she could explode.“She was going to the hospital, driving so fast and recklessly, desperate and anxious just like you,” he said quickl
Chapter 874 – Susan’s Accusation II
*****Susan’s voice had lost every trace of warmth at this moment, and now, what remained was nothing but a voice shaking with rage, disbelief, and a grief so heavy that it scraped her throat on the way out.“This… this same man,” she began, her tone trembling but cutting like glass, “might be spineless and powerless to protect you, but… but he knelt an entire day outside the mansion… under the scorching sun, begging for your arranged wedding to be canceled for goodness sake!” her voice rose an octave, her entire body trembling frantically. “He… he sacrificed for you, bled for you, and yet, because of one… just one slight mistake, you…”She stopped, her words caught somewhere between fury, disbelief, and complete heartbreak.Her chest heaved, her lips trembling as if she wanted to continue but knew that if she did, there would be no control over what would come out of her mouth and no taking it back.So instead, her eyes slid shut and she swallowed hard, her entire frame tremblin
Chapter 873 – Susan’s Accusation
*****Susan stared at Grace in a daze for a moment, disbelief widening her eyes and unable to believe what she had just heard, until finally…The tears that had been previously pooling in her eyes and clouding her vision fell, sliding down her cheeks to make her see clearly, before finally, slowly, and with trembling hands, she turned to her face to the window.Outside, the sprawling beauty of Oceanview entered her sight… the perfectly trimmed hedges, the marble driveway, the towering glass façade of Villa Number, and everything else.It was paradise to most eyes. But to Susan… at this moment, it was meaningless.All the elegance, the wealth, and the quiet luxury… it might as well have been a wasteland.Her mind refused to register the beauty, and instead, all she saw was not the hospital.Her chest heaved once before she turned back to her daughter, her panic rising like a wave about to crash.“Then… then where are we?” she demanded, her voice breaking. “Where are we, Grace?!
Chapter 872 – Susan’s Panic
*****The touch startled Grace at first, but instead of pulling away, she froze.The warmth from the palm began to seep into her skin, spreading like sunlight breaking through clouds, and like so, as though the palm had a power of its own, he panic that had threatened to drown her receded with every heartbeat, replaced by a quiet steadiness that she had forgotten about.Before she knew it, her breathing slowed down, her chest loosening.When she finally turned, Xavier’s gaze met hers… calm, patient, and understanding.No words were spoken, but everything was said. His eyes told her, ‘You’re not alone. I’m right here.’And just like that, something inside her unclenched, and without a second thought, she gave a faint nod… barely perceptible, but enough to show she was all right.Their silent connection lingered, unspoken but deeply understood.Then, gathering herself, Grace looked toward her mother again.Susan was now trying to drag Williams’ limp body closer, seemingly obliv
Chapter 871 – Reaching Oceanview Estate
*****The rest of the journey unfolded in absolute silence… one so heavy that it seemed to press against every lung.The only sound was the low hum of the engine, the one coming from the other passing vehicles, and the occasional sniffle that escaped Susan’s trembling lips.The tension in the car hadn’t completely faded. It hung in the air, fueled especially by Susan’s constant muffled sobs, her whispered prayers, and the desperate pleas she kept repeating to Williams, as if he could still hear her. Still, something subtle had shifted.Grace’s frantic breathing had steadied, and her knuckles were no longer ghost-white on the steering wheel.Her gaze remained focused on the road… sharp and steady now, the previous desperate, haunted glint they once held having faded somewhat.Even her hands had loosened, her touch on the wheel no longer trembling.If anything, she drove now with careful precision… neither too fast nor too slow, moving with the calm of someone trying not to bre
