Nellie refused again and again, but was eventually stopped by George's butler and taken to the hospital with force.
The strong disinfectant made Nellie frown.
George was lying in the intensive care ward, with very little time awake. Nellie looked at the very sick man, and surprisingly did not react at all.
George weakly held out his hand to her, "Nellie, come here."
Nellie stepped forward and instead of putting her hand into George's hand, she sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed.
George looked at her cold and distant look, and his heart only felt a dull heaviness.
"You really are still blaming me." He was breathless, with a hint of heartache and helplessness.
Nellie did not say anything but waited for his following words.
She wanted to hear if there could be a final warmth in the last moments of his life. However, in the end, she was disappointed.
Nellie looked sternly at her, "I have little time left, Nellie, I hope you won't make things difficult for Hazel after I die, she's your sister, she's innocent."
Nellie looked at George coldly.
The moment she opened her mouth, grimness in her tone, "Is that what you want say to me?"
"Nellie, it was all my fault back then, it had nothing to do with Catherine."
"Heh." George didn't finish his words before he was interrupted by Nellie with a sneer, "So what do you mean now?"
At Nellie did not have the patience to listen to him go on.
People throughout Shirling say that she is the eldest lady of the James family, but almost all sigh and shake their heads when they hear of her reputation.
Just because she didn't have a good reputation, she became pregnant with the child of an unknown man in her sophomore year and even put a classmate in hospital.
As for the mention of that low-key second lady of the James family, everyone's description was, gentle, kind and low-key.
Almost every nice word was used for this second lady of the building.
Of course, Nellie did not care her reputation, but it was in the rumors.
George looked guiltily at Nellie, and eventually grabbed her hand in spite of Nellie's rejection.
At this moment, Nellie clearly felt the temperature of George's hand, which was ridiculously low.
Soon she spied what was even colder than that, the heart of George, he said, "Catherine and Hazel have nothing in this world but me."
"Nellie, your grandmother loves you, and your aunt has been taking good care of you in the dark all these years, so..."
"So Hazel has nothing, I have to give her everything in the James family to inherit, I have my grandmother, so I don't need the James family?"
Before George could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Nellie.
And at the moment, her tone was more than cold.
George, "Nellie."
"Have you forgotten how you really made your fortune?" With that, Nellie drew out her hand icily.
The coldness on that face showed her disappointment and even rejection of George over the years.
At these words, George's face changed.
The look in his eyes was more than impatient.
Such a subtle change was clearly seen by Nellie, and the corners of her mouth lifted up in a snicker, "Not to mention that they are not qualified to touch my mother's things."
"Even if it's yours, I'll inherit half of it."
Now, he was back in Kubay.
"Now is the best time to go and pick up Penny."
The moment Caleb got the news, his first reaction was to bring out Penny when Spinster and Ajax were sniping at each other.
The sudden return of this mysterious controller of the Spinster family had given them a chance to take a breather.
Tomas was shocked at his words, "What about E City?"
"Tomas." Before Tomas could finish his words, he was interrupted by Caleb.
Tomas, "I mean, Miss Ajax didn't hurt Penny, and I'm worried if there's something else going on here."
"Whatever her hidden agenda, let's get Penny back first."
A hidden agenda?
He knew none of these people, but they were in control of all from that high place.
And his concern now was less about what those people controlled and more about the fact that Penny could not be in the hands of Sienna.
After all, this wicked woman, Sienna, had an unpredictable personality, and now was not taking on Penny, but who knew when she would make a move because of Chester?
"Master Chester is over there, he should have gotten the news too, shall we inform him?" In short, Tomas didn't want Caleb to go there.
And when Caleb heard the name of Chester, he had another headache.
Instantly, it brought him back to a reality that was choking him, "Then you contact him."
Tomas was relieved to hear that.
After all, right now it looked like the Ajax family and the Spinster family were fighting within Kubay, but getting involved at will only lead to greater trouble when she made a move.
