Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Chapter 1980

At the moment, Norton’s bedroom was a hive of activity, crowded with the family’s elders and younger members alike, all in a state of disarray.

Cutting through the crowd, Kern led Lucinda and Hilliard to the bedside.

Despite Norton’s recent vibrancy, thanks to Colby and Destinee, he now appeared significantly aged.

Lucinda inquired of the medical team, “Grandpa was in good spirits last night.

What caused such a sudden downturn?”

Dr.

Robles stepped forward, explaining, “Mr.

Payne suffers from high blood pressure and hypoglycemia.

It seems he may have ingested something that interfered with his medication.

Lucinda’s brow furrowed, sensing foul play, yet she held her tongue amidst the throng of people.

She made room for Hilliard to examine Norton, hoping for a deeper understanding.

Outside, the corridor buzzed with anxiety, the family’s unease palpable as they grappled with Norton’s unexpected illness.

Lucinda’s patience wore thin amidst the clamor.

“Enough with the noise,” she snapped.

“Grandpa needs quiet for his recovery.

The room is too crowded, stifling even.

Please, everyone, head downstairs.

I’ll update you as necessary.
