Chapter 1433

Hector took Lucy to the front of the car.

Seeing that Lucy looked distressed and did not say a word, he grabbed her by her shoulders.

"Lucy, you don’t have t o take her words seriously."

"But isn’t she your grandmother? But why..."

Hector took a deep breath, turned around, and leaned against the car door.

"My family’s affairs are very complicated.I didn’t think so before this because I’m a boy, and my
grandmother favors sons over daughters and pampered me a lot.

"She had never taught me what's right and what’s wrong.She would do anything for me as long as I
wanted that thing, no matter whether it was right or wrong.So much so that I thought she could save
me even if I were to get into any huge trouble.

"But it turned out that I was wrong.I degenerated, became depraved, and didn’t know that society was
a sinister place.If it weren’t for Maisie, I’m afraid I would've fallen into an abyss, step by step.

"Do you know about my sister, Linda Vanderbilt? My grandmother looked down on her very much
because she was a girl.Her whole life was ruined by my grandmother’s pedantic and obstinate
upbringing.She didn’t even shed a tear when my mother and Linda died.Those relatives of hers have
always been more important than the members of her own family."

Lucy’s heart trembled, and she cupped his cheeks with both hands.

"I understand you." Hector hugged her, buried his face into the side of her neck, and smiled.



"As Maisie said, this is my life, and I can make my own decisions.I don’t have to be a puppet who’s at
the mercy of others.Even my relatives can’t tell me what I should do with my life."

At noon, Heidi called her son and grandson several times, but the phone calls did not get through.

She panicked and hurried out of the ward.

As she was passing by the stairwell, she suddenly heard someone's voice, took a few steps backward,
looked into the stairwell, and saw the two relatives standing in the corridor, chatting.
