The indifference with which Selena left irked Linda who kicked the trash can angrily. She thought that Selena would be furious after knowing, but the latter was calm.
She didn’t even react when she heard her own sister slept with her ex-husband. Such a woman deserved to be dumped.
Since the plan involving Selena was not working, she could only think of another way.
When Serenity received Helena’s call, she was arranging flowers in the glass greenhouse. Before she went to California, Helena had taught her how to arrange flowers as well as how to make tea. After a few years of not practicing, her skills had become rusty.
When she heard that Master Samson was seriously ill and hospitalized, she went back to her room to change her clothes and rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived at the VIP ward, she opened the door and entered. Other than Helena Turner, Selena and Benjamin Rivers were also present.
“Grandpa, are you alright?” She approached Master Samson, who was lying on the bed.
Master Samson took a single look at her before turning the other way, turning a deaf ear to her words.
The pale yellow liquid in the medicine bag flowed down the white tube drop by drop into his bloodstream through the needle on the back of his hand.
Serenity didn’t care about Master Samson’s attitude as she silently retreated to the side and stood there. Helena Turner patted her hand lightly, indicating to the former not to take it to heart.
The attending doctor listened to Master Samson’s heartbeat with a stethoscope and wrote down a string of numbers in a folder. Then, Benjamin Rivers followed him out of the ward.
Master Samson looked at Selena who was sitting by the bed and holding his hand. “For the sake of your future with Eva, you should remarry John.”
The old man had been trying to get Selena and John back together after returning from Oakland, but his granddaughter had been avoiding him. Because of this, Master Samson had gotten so angry that he was hospitalized.
“We won’t remarry,” said Selena helplessly.
“He doesn’t want to?” asked Master Samson seriously.
“I’m the one who doesn’t want to.” Selena felt a headache coming on with the topic of remarriage.
“Why?” Master Samson frowned.
The only person John had ever loved was Serenity. And now that he had full control over Grant Group, their fake relationship was no longer needed and there was no need for them to be together.
“Did John do something wrong to you?” asked Master Samson when he saw her falling silent.
Suddenly, he glared at Serenity. The disgust in his eyes was very obvious.
But Serenity had grown so numb to his hostility that she simply shifted her gaze elsewhere.
“No, it has nothing to do with him. I just don’t love him,” said Selena honestly after a moment of hesitation. “He doesn’t love me either, so there’s no need for our marriage to continue.”
Master Samson’s eyes widened. “When you got married, you said that you were in love with each other.”
Selena didn’t expect him to bring up the past so she was taken aback. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, “After the passion, it became dull.”
In Andalas, other than Gabriel, the person with the highest status was John. Of course, Master Samson had hoped that his most beloved granddaughter would marry someone with the highest status. However, Gabriel was already married to Serenity, so he wholeheartedly hoped Selena and John would remarry.
Master Samson said, “You were too reckless this time.. Shouldn’t you have held on for Eva? Do you want her to have no father or fatherly love in the future?”
