Chapter 668 Feelings Of Regret
Pa moved forward on her own, leaving the caregivers behind her discussing in hushed tones. “She’s really pitiful. Despite her severe illness, neither her husband nor son are by her side, and her daughter just came for a brief visit and then left.”
“Exactly, have you seen her daughter? Always dressed to the nines, but the moment she saw her own mother wet the bed, the look of disgust on her face was so obvious.”
“Being wealthy isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
Upon hearing the voices of the caregivers behind her, Pa heard Cassandra’s earlier words at the hospital entrance echo in her mind.
She was instantly angered. “What nonsense are you spouting? My husband loves me more than you can imagine; my son is just tied up with work; and my daughter cares deeply for me. She visits me every day. You’re just jealous!”
The caregivers immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.
Pa returned to her bed, lying down. The ears, along with the grating gossip of the of disdain from Cassandra still echoed in her
“She wet the bed. It was utterly disgusting. You wouldn’t believe how close I was to throwing up when I walked in. I’ve never had to look after Queenie before, and now I’m expected to care for her? Even her own son doesn’t want to take care of her. This is ridiculous…”
“Exactly, have you seen her daughter? Always dressed to the nines, but the moment she saw her own mother wet the bed, the look of disgust on her face was so obvious.”
Given Pa’s immense pride, she would never admit that her daughter’s feelings for her weren’t genuine.
Moreover, she had pinned all her hopes on Cassandra, going so far as to break her vow of never dancing again for her sake. For thetter, she had even transferred all the assets of the Smith family to the Evans family.
Pa picked up her phone, dialing Ralph’s number.
The call on the other end took a while to connect.
“What is it now?” Ralph’s voice wasced with impatience.
Pa was oblivious to it as she asked, “Honey, are you still tied up with work? When will youe and keep mepany? I don’t want to be alone in the hospital.”
“Didn’t I tell you already? Thepany has been going through some issues recently, and I’ve been incredibly busy. Didn’t I hire two caregivers for you? If you’re bored, why don’t you chat with them?”
Pa wanted to say more, but Ralph had already hung up the phone.
When it came to Pa, who had now aged significantly and was severely ill, he felt no desire for her anymore.
Beside him was his attractive female secretary. “Mr. Evans, please don’t be upset.”
The female secretary gently patted his chest, soothing him.
Ralph pulled her close, grinning as he said, “After that old woman dies, would it be okay if I marry you?”
The office was filled withughter.
Pa stared at the disconnected call, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Had this been before she fell ill and was entangled in legal troubles, she would have already confronted Ralph at his office, but now, even taking a few steps caused her pain.
It was at this moment that Pa couldn’t help but recall the time when she married Regas. Back then, even if she identally twisted her leg, Regas would show exceptional concern, let alone when it came to being diagnosed with cancer.
Pa still remembered the day she had caught a chill and developed a fever during the night. It had frightened Regas to no end. Despite the doctor’s assurance that she was fine, Regas held her in his arms, crying until she was soaked in tears.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
He even said. “You must note to any harm, Pa. If anything happens to you, I would choose to die with you.”
Back then, Pa simply thought that this man was weak, crying over the smallest things.
He wants to die alongside met How immature!
Later on, when Regas broke both his legs in a car ident, he didn’t shed a single tear. Instead, he tenderly caressed her face and reassured her, “It doesn’t hurt. I’ll recover soon.”
“Don’t look at me. It will scare you, understand?”
As Pa pondered over these matters, tears began to fall inexplicably.
In that moment, she felt a tinge of regret.
