Adam had no money now. He was in the hospital and owed a lot of money to the hospital.
If Adam hadn’t been thick-skinned and borrowed some money, he would have been kicked out of the hospital.
But Adam would never agree to kill his only son.
Adam sent someone to find Linda. Linda had not come to the hospital to see Adam since she learned that Rose was pregnant.
At that time, he was also looking for an excuse, thinking that Linda had no time because she had to take care of Rose.
But for so many days, Adam lay alone in the hospital bed. It was impossible for him not to be disappointed.
Adam’s father died early. So Linda had to go out to work every day. Adam was brought up by his eldest brother, David.
David was capable. He had been accepted to college and was the only college student in their village. Many people had come to ask him to marry their daughters.
But David met Veronica when he was in college.
Veronica was good-looking, but her body was weak and she did not talk much. When Veronica first came to their house, Adam had thought she was a mute.
So Linda was very dissatisfied and often made things difficult for Veronica when David was not at home.
Veronica didn’t have a strong personality. She was thin and weak. She would not say anything even if she was wronged. She would always hide in the art studio to draw.
Afterwards, David used the money that Veronica had given him to start a successful business. However, Linda’s attitude toward Veronica hadn’t changed. Instead, Linda had become more and more vicious, never letting go of the idea of David marrying another woman.
Linda often invited beautiful women from the village to her home. And when it was late, Linda would deliberately ask David to send them home.
But Veronica wouldn’t say anything. Even when Linda was so angry that she pointed at Veronica’s nose and scolded, Veronica still wouldn’t say a word.
Linda was an uncultured woman and didn’t understand much, but the words she said were extremely harsh.
Sometimes, Adam couldn’t bear to stand by the side and listen to Linda’s words.
However, Veronica still had an indifferent expression on her face. Her black eyes were emotionless as she quietly stared at Linda.
Later, Veronica went missing for a period of time. David looked for her like a madman for half a year, and then he came back with Veronica again.
At that time, Veronica’s face was even worse, always pale.
When Linda saw Veronica, Linda felt even more uncomfortable. After that, when Linda heard David say that Veronica was pregnant, Linda’s attitude turned better.
However, Linda was a troublemaker. After learning from David that Veronica was pregnant with a girl, Linda was even ruder to Veronica.
Veronica was in poor health and was worried that she would not be able to protect her child, so she went to the hospital early.
On the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, David didn’t want Veronica to be alone in the hospital, so he went to the hospital to accompany her.
Linda couldn’t stand it anymore and went to the hospital to make some trouble. Linda disliked that Veronica was wasting money when she was hospitalized only seven months after she was pregnant.
Linda frankly said that after Veronica gave birth to her daughter, she had to divorce David and let David find another woman.
When Adam was present at that time, he saw Veronica was still indifferent, with calm eyes, no sadness or joy, staring at Linda blankly.
It seemed that Linda was not talking to Veronica but someone else.
The next day, no one knew what had happened. Veronica had an early fetal movement. The child was born, but Veronica lost half her life.
The girl was Kara. She had a pair of very special amber eyes, but she had been living in the incubator.
Linda saw that Kara was also wasting money and kept nagging.
Linda scolded Kara that being born at the Dragon Boat Festival meant that she was an unlucky loser, who would die young.
When David heard it, he was very annoyed.
David was a very gentle man because he had always remembered Linda’s kindness to raise him. In the past, no matter how unpleasant words Linda had said, David had never spoken loudly.
But at that time, David had a big fight with Linda.
Then David moved out of the house and bought a villa for Veronica and Kara. Every year, they would give Linda a sum of money, without any further contact.
Linda had a lot of resentment in her heart. Every day, she would curse Veronica.
Maybe Linda’s words came true. Veronica died when Kara was ten, which made Linda very happy. Linda then thought of all kinds of ways to find another wife for David.
However, after the death of Veronica, David seemed half-dead and spent every day in a trance.
It was only later that Adam found out that David had a very serious injury. David was accidentally injured when he was going up the mountain to do activities in college.
But David didn’t want to worry his family, so he did not say it. He just laid in the hospital bed, determined to die.
It was then that David’s classmate, Veronica, paid the money to save his life.
David became weaker and weaker after Veronica passed away, and he relapsed and died shortly thereafter.
As Kara’s uncle, Adam naturally occupied the villa and also wanted to occupy the Quain Group.
However, it led to nothing.
Adam recalled the scenes of the past and his heart was desolate.
During this period of time in the hospital alone, Adam kept reflecting.
Perhaps, if he had listened to Kara and been an executive of the Quain Group, he would not have been like this.
Adam even wanted to give Kara to another man in order to get the shares of the Quain Group. Just thinking about it made him feel terrible.
How could Adam face David when he died?
The more Adam thought, the more uncomfortable he felt. But reality forced him to face the current situation.
When Linda heard that the Greens wanted to kill her grandson, she angrily ran to the hospital and saw Adam kneeling before the Greens.
“Mom, try and get some money. We have to let Rose give birth to the child.” Adam sighed.
Linda nodded, crying. She also wanted Rose to give birth to the child.
But Linda had no money. Her money had been taken by that bitch Sophia.
As an old lady, Linda couldn’t do heavy work. Frustrated, she thought of a crooked plan.
Linda wanted to try blackmailing.
If she didn’t get killed by a car, she could make some money by blackmailing.
Yet she hadn’t expected the Greens to be a group of animals. They wanted not only someone like her to take care of Rose, but also them.
Rose’s mother was sick. Linda had to pay her medical fees and take care of her eating, living, and other needs.
Linda was now a dog of the Green family. If she worked for them, they would treat her well.
If Linda didn’t have the money to give them, they would have cold faces and say all kinds of unpleasant words.
The Greens had said that Linda’s son was an animal who ruined their daughter’s life. They also said that Linda had a bad life and her daughter-in-law couldn’t have a son.
When she thought about her life today, Linda really wanted to die!
Linda, who was standing on the street, turned her head and unexpectedly saw a familiar face. She rushed forward without caring about her life.
There were three people in the car talking when Nolan suddenly slammed on the brakes. James held Kara in his arms and hit his head on the chair.
“Nolan, is this the driving skill you have learned for so many years?” James lost his temper.
“I’m sorry.”
When Nolan was just about to open the door, Linda rushed over and patted the window with a pale face.
“Kara, Kara, save me!”
Linda shouted outside the window, but the sound insulation effect of the window was very good, so Kara did not hear it.
Kara let go of James and looked up to see Linda, who was slapping the window, crying with snot and tears all over her face.
Kara was so frightened that she immediately hid in James’ arms when she thought of how Linda had beaten her before.
James felt Kara’s trembling fingers holding his little finger. He looked at Linda coldly.
