He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Disaster

After the Director left, Michael Marshall questioned the servant right in front of Daniel Marshall.

“What did Mrs. Jenkins say to Grandfather today? Repeat it. What has she been saying while staying in the hospital room these days?”

Under Mr. Marshall’s stern and intimidating gaze, the servant felt a bit frightened, unconsciously trembling. He carefully glanced back and forth between Mr. Marshall and Daniel.

“Mrs. Jenkins… she didn’t say anything. She has been caring for Grandfather very attentively.”

“Did she threaten you?”

Daniel’s awe-inspiring gaze exuded intense coldness. glaring at his father, he retorted, “You’ve gone too far! The Director has already said that these are sequela, resulting from the unrecovered brain damage . By pressuring the servant to blame my wife and driving her out of the hospital, do you intend to have Bella Thompson look after Grandfather? You’ve disappointed me deeply, it’s simply shameful for an elder!”

Out of anger, Michael Marshall raised his voice, sounding fierce and cold, “Do you really know what kind of woman she is? Who knows what ulterior motives she has? Ever since she entered the Marshall household, she’s stirred up numerous conflicts and left our family in disarray, she’s nothing but trouble.”

Suddenly, Olivia Jenkins left from the hospital room without uttering a word.

Daniel, his eyes ablaze, furious at his father exclaimed, “You are being absolutely unreasonable!”

A few seconds later, Daniel left the hospital room in anger.

Looking at his biased father, he felt nothing but disgust.

Despite Daniel having left, Michael continued to sternly question the servant, “What exactly did that wench say to Grandfather? Did she instigate something?”

The servant was frightened to the point of crying and didn’t dare to say anything.

Suddenly, a noise echoed from within the hospital room.

Rushing into the room, Michael saw his father glaring at him ruthlessly, “Get out, I don’t want to see you.”

“Dad…”

“Get lost!”

Aware that agitating his father could impact his recovery, Michael had to leave the hospital room reluctantly, settling in the visitors’ lounge.

At a stern glance from Michael, the servant tried to wipe his tears and went in to clean up the room.

…

Daniel caught up with Olivia and held her hand.

With a quiet composure, Olivia mustering all her resilience and anger, told Daniel, “I need some time alone.”

“My wife…”

Suddenly, Olivia pulled her hand away from Daniel’s hold, “Please, I want to be alone.”

Daniel squinted his profound eyes, giving Olivia an intriguing look, and sincerely said, “I’m sorry, I apologize for my father’s behavior. You’ve been taking care of Grandfather and have shared my burden, I know you’ve had a tough time. It’s only because of you that I could focus on my work. You’ve been doing great, and I appreciate your efforts…”

Olivia did not respond, and walked away stoically.

“Wife, I’ll have Simon Howard drive you home.”

Without casting a backward glance, Olivia coldly walked towards the hospital’s main entrance, completely disregarding Daniel’s kindness.

Daniel remained standing in his place, his deep and soft gaze following Olivia’s disappearing figure.

Even after Olivia had left his sight, Daniel’s gaze lingered on.

With such a family and relatives, Daniel felt helpless.

His heart was aflame with unspoken anger, choking him with an indescribable discomfort.

…

Grace Ziegler received the results of the DNA test.

Scanning through the report, Grace’s face turned pale, overcome with grief, she started to cry.

For over twenty years, she had considered a woman as her mother with whom she had no blood relation. This cruel truth was so painful to accept!

Walking desolately, Grace failed to notice the change of traffic signal and aimlessly crossed the road.
