Crossroads

Chapter 325

Stephanie was choosing a laptop at a digital store. But she received an urgent call before buying one,

Stephanie hurried to the airport and took a short flight to Caelorum Central Hospital.

She hadn’t contacted the Reed family for a long time. Last Christmas, they didn’t even call each other. Everyone had long been accustomed to not having any contact.

But Stephanie felt very heavy when she heard that Gary suddenly became seriously ill.

“How is he?”

It was already 11 o’clock when Stephanie rushed back to Calorium. There were not many people in the inpatient department. When Stephanie arrived at the ward, she saw Samantha talking with the doctor.

When Samantha saw Stephanie coming, her eyes turned red with anxiety. Samantha’s weathered hands grabbed Stephanie’s arm and asked, “Where is Dominick? Why didn’t anyone from the Wellington family come?”

Stephanie really didn’t know what to say: Samantha was still as stubborn and snobbish as ever.

“You really divorced him. How could you be so stupid? You lost your child. You didn’t ask him for compensation. Now your father is in trouble. What should we do?

Samantha started crying as she spoke. Stephanie usually liked to talk back to her. But she rarely saw Samantha crying. Samantha and Gary came from poor families. Perhaps this made them even more obsessed with power and money

Stephanie used to hate their behavior. But now, after going through so much, she felt that it was not easy for them, especially since Samantha was so old

People really did grow up and change.

“Grandma, please sit here. I’ll talk to the doctor”

Stephanie couldn’t pretend to be friendly. She lowered her voice and helped Samantha to sit on a chair nearby. She went into the doctor’s office for a detailed discussion
