Chapter 262: Kelvin, You’re Heartless

The room fell silent, so quiet that you could hear each person’s breath clearly. Grandfather’s breathing was long and labored, while Emelia’s breathing was heavier due to her emotional state. Vincent, on the other hand, breathed calmly like a still lake.

If anyone in the room didn’t care about Grandfather’s life or death, it would be him. The more hypocritical someone is, the more they try to show how much they care. Franklin had tears and snot running down his face and almost wiped them onto his father’s hand…

While Emelia shouted that Kelvin didn’t care about Grandfather, she failed to consider what a patient really needed: rest.

Vincent played the role of a mediator standing between them with a calm smile on his face and pulled back an impulsive Emelia by her arm.

“Emelia,” he said calmly. “How can you talk to Kelvin like this? Kelvin rew up under Grandfather’s guidance; how could he not care about Grandfather?”

As he spoke these words, there was darkness in his eyes that flashed with hidden emotions.

Emelia became even angrier and stood there pouting with crossed arms, muttering quietly, “I don’t see he cares!”

She thought she muttered quietly enough for Kelvin not to hear her, but Kelvin heard every word loud and clear.

He couldn’t be bothered explaining himself nor did he want others watching him like some monkey displaying its emotions for everyone else’s entertainment.
