Chapter 349 Live and Death Are Natural Stages in Life

Joy began to tell the past grievances, "Your grandparents did not leave me any face, and I will only
face their endless blame when I went back..."

"They don't want to see me, they don't even take me as their daughter, so it's not that I don't want to go
back but they don't want to see me. I don't want to go back and mess things up. Your grandpa didn't tell
me my mother had died. I didn't know about it, and if I did, I'd have gone back..."

"And did you ever wonder why they didn't want to see you?" Rose looked at Joy with cold and
resentment. "How nice my grandparents are. You don't want to recognize them because they are from
the countryside and because you like the bustling big city and the rich men, and you did something that
crossed bottom line!"

"My grandparents have never done a bad thing in their life, but you killed a person and let them down.
How could they forgive the mistakes you made!? So, my grandparents couldn't face a daughter like
you! And they couldn't face their own conscience even more!"

"You... You know all about that? Your grandfather told you?" Joy remembered once...

"Grandpa didn't say anything, but do you think I would be kept in the dark forever? I'm not the little girl
who didn't know everything, and I'm not the Rose I was." Rose's eyes were sharp as a knife, piercing
into Joy's heart.

But Joy's heart had long been hard like a stone. She wouldn't take these things to heart and wouldn't
feel sad or guilty.

"All these have passed. That man's death had nothing to do with me. Why do you have to blame me for
this? I didn't like him at all. I wanted to be with your dad. Don't I have the right to choose my own love
and marriage?" Joy argued with Rose.



"Do you think you would have been the lady of the Linder family if I hadn't made the right choice?
Would you have such a good life and good education from an early age? Will you have a childhood
friendship with Sky or even marry Bright?"

"If it is without me, you would never have been so successful as you are today! So, Rose you don't
have the right to criticize me!"

"So, you did it all for me? I do thank you!" Rose chuckled sarcastically, "I didn't expect my own mother
to be like that. What a master at making excuses. What a master at turning things upside down!"

"You know what? I am where I am today because I made the right choice. It has nothing to do with you!
It's my luck to marry Bright!"

"Rose, it should be my lucky to marry you." Bright finished the procedure and went to the VIP room. "It
was your good will that brought you luck and then brought you to me."

Bright stepped forward and stood beside Rose, holding around her shoulder to protect her.

Seeing that Bright had come in, Joy pressed her lips and changed the subject. "What's wrong with
Grandpa? I'm his daughter and I have the right to know what happened. If you won't tell me, then I'll
ask the doctor. He'll tell me."

Joy lowered her head slightly and was about to walk away from Rose.

"I don't think you can get anything out of it, so don't make the trip in vain." Bright spoke softly. No one
would tell Joy the truth as long as he didn't want her to know about it.

Joy stopped. She knew what Bright said must be true.

"Grandpa's illness has nothing to do with the past, so why don't you tell me?" Joy said helplessly, "I
know my father doesn't want to see me, and I didn't have much time to take care of him. But now that I



know he is sick, I hope I can do something for him."

"Is it true that Grandfather's illness has nothing to do with you?" Rose repressed the sadness in her
heart, "That matter you thought has passed have never passed in the hearts of my grandparents. Only
you think it has passed."

"They kept it in their hearts, and suffered from it every day... And you happily married Dad and lived
your happy life. Grandma has died... Now Grandpa is counting his days. Are you satisfied?"

Joy was shocked. She didn't believe what Rose said.

After a while, Joy said, "It can't be. You must be lying."

"If you think I'm lying, then why ask me?" Rose sneered, "Mrs. Linder, please come back. I don't think
this place is suitable for you."

"Rose..." Joy muttered, "I didn't mean that, but grandpa has always been in good health."

"No matter how good he is, it cannot withstand a heavy blow, and the daily torture of the soul. This is
caused by you! Grandma and Grandpa don't want to see you, and so do I!" Rose spoke out her dislike
for Joy directly, "Get away, right now!"

Chandler opened the door and saw Rose driving Joy away, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"You came just in time. Take your wife away," Rose said to Chandler.

"What's wrong with Grandpa?" Chandler then asked.

"That's not your concern," Rose responded coldly.



Bright helped Rose to sit down to calm down and said to Chandler and Joy, "You guys come outside
with me and leave her alone."

Chandler and Joy followed Bright outside. Chandler looked at Bright blankly and said, "What's going on
here?"

"She doesn't want anyone to know about Grandpa's illness. Rose and I are here to take care of him.
You can go back. Don't worry." Bright was polite to them. After all, he was nominally their son-in-law, so
he didn't want to push them too hard.

"Then let us know if something happens to Grandpa, or if he needs us." Joy knew that staying here
was useless. As long as Bright and Rose didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't know anything if she
wanted to. "I will come to see Grandpa when he wakes up."

After seeing off Chandler and Joy, Bright was back in the hospital room.

Rose had come to her grandfather's bed, holding his hands and looking at him tearfully, feeling very
depressed.

"Life and death are the normal stages of live, Rose, try to accept it." Bright understood her feelings.

The doctor said grandfather's conditions would be deteriorated if he fainted. That meant they were
closer to death.

"I see, but I couldn't part with Grandpa." She pressed her forehead on her grandfather's hand, and
closed her eyes.

"I didn't ask you to give up." Bright comforted her.

"Grandpa... His hand moved." Rose's eyes were filled with surprise and tears.
