The old master was not well. He was in a terrible health situation, but the doctor had examined him. It was not a heart attack but a stroke! It was dangerous for people in their seventies to have a stroke.
“Doctor, can you contact Eldest Young Master Williams? Can you call him for me? I have something to tell him!”
Elena felt helpless; she could not contact Michael!
“My grandfather cannot remain here in his current situation. He has to seek treatment at a big hospital. Do me a favor, please. Otherwise, can you get someone to send us back?”
“Miss Garcia, Old Master Garcia’s situation is not that serious. Please don’t worry.” The doctor was confident in his medical knowledge and skills.
“At this time, we can’t contact Eldest Young Master Williams. Miss Garcia, I can’t help with this matter. I’m sorry.”
Elena did not believe that they had no way to contact Michael, but there was nothing she could do about it if the doctor insisted so.
“Elena, don’t panic. Dad will be fine.”
Sasha was so anxious that she turned pale, but she was even more clueless than Elena. Her father used to be in excellent health, but he had passed out twice in the past few days. Sasha was worried if something were to happen to her father… She was the root of the problem. If she had not been greedy, how could things end up like that?
“It’s all my fault. Elena, you should scold me. I am a bad person.”
After the doctor had left, Sasha’s calm posture had collapsed!
Elena did not know what to say to her to comfort her. She knew that Sasha had been part of Ava’s scheme. She was supposed to be in the same boat as Ava, but Ava had obviously abandoned her. Sasha felt guilty for what she had done. Even if Elena scolded her, it would not change anything.
“Auntie, don’t do this. We are a family. I won’t scold you.”
“No, Elena, you don’t know what happened. It’s me! It’s all my fault!” Sasha could not forgive herself for what she had done!
“I know that you deliberately guided Grandfather to announce my relationship with Brother Joseph. Ava wanted to retaliate against us, but you were only making preparations in case Brother Joseph and Grandfather wanted to remove your position in the future. You were hoping to get some bargaining power in hand.”
Sasha opened her eyes, and her breath was chaotic. “Elena, you…”
“That was only my guess.” She was not so sure about it, but she seemed to have gotten it right.
“Auntie, are you doing it for your son?”
Sasha squeezed her palms in shock momentarily before she calmed down. She sat by the bed as she looked at her unconscious father. She looked so sad that her body slumped like a withered flower. She did not say anything nor explain herself because it was superfluous to do so. Why explain when things had developed to that stage? Besides, she had done something wrong.
“I’m sorry…”
Sasha lowered her head as tears welled in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Elena. Auntie is too selfish, I’m sorry…”
“Youngest Aunt…”
“I’m sorry! I was the one who drugged you and Joseph. Elena, I’m sorry. Sorry!”
Sasha stood up abruptly and ran out of the room. She could not face the consequences of her deed. Things had become uncontrollable, and the sheer crime she committed was beyond repair!
It was already Monday. According to Ava’s plan, Joseph should still out at sea. There was nothing she could do to save the situation, and she was an accomplice!
Even if they could do something about it, she had also committed the crime of fraud! She would be imprisoned even though she was not the mastermind. Sasha tried her best to control her emotions for days, but she could no longer keep them in check when she finally faced Elena!
“Youngest Aunt!” Elena was stupefied. She got up quickly and chased after Sasha, who had run to the stone forest in the distance by herself. Elena could not run fast enough, so when she got to the stone forest, Sasha was nowhere to be found.
“Youngest Aunt! Come out! Don’t scare me!”
As long as her grandfather was well and their family stayed together, everything would be straightened out.
“Youngest Auntie, I don’t blame you. Brother Joseph and I haven’t done anything wrong to the Garcia family. Youngest Auntie, we didn’t do anything wrong!
“Come out, please! Don’t go into hiding alone. This is a deserted island, and it’s perilous! Youngest Auntie!”
There was no movement in the stone forest and no response from Sasha.
“Youngest Aunt, listen to me. Come out. We don’t blame you.
“Youngest Aunt, we are a family!
“Youngest Aunt…”
There was still no response. Elena was really worried if her youngest auntie would commit suicide. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the engine. Elena turned her head and saw a speedboat approaching the beach from the sea. Could it be Michael?
She was in dire need to see Michael; she wanted to send her grandfather back for a treatment! Elena ran toward the beach, and when she saw the person on the speedboat, Elena almost cried.
She rushed toward the beach, and the other person got off the speedboat and walked toward her quickly. Her eyes burned as she ran into his arms. He had come. Finally, he was there! Everyone had waited for him! He was their only hope!
“Brother Joseph!” Elena’s voice was hoarse, and she nearly choked with her tears.
“Don’t cry. I’m here. Don’t cry!”
Joseph’s heart ached too. He knew that she must have been aggrieved, so he hugged her shoulders tightly.
“Don’t panic. I’m here. Don’t panic.”
Elena took a deep breath. She was not so vulnerable; she was just too excited to see him.
“Eldest Cousin Brother, Youngest Aunt went into the forest, and I couldn’t find her. Can you get some people to go in and look for her? I’m afraid that she would do something stupid.”
Joseph did not have much time for further questions, so he immediately waved at the person behind him. “Go in and look for the Second Madam, be sure to bring her back.”
“Yes!” A few of his men immediately rushed in the forest’s direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Where is Grandfather? Is he also on this island?” Joseph asked.
“Yes, I will take you to see Grandfather now.”
Elena had addressed them naturally. There was no doubt that they were a family. Furthermore, after the incident, even if Elena were not the old master’s biological granddaughter, Joseph and Old Master Garcia would continue to treat her like family. Elena took Joseph’s hand and walked quickly toward the wooden house.
“Slow down, your body…” Joseph was afraid that the child in her womb could not handle it.
“It’s okay. This time, I’m very strong.”
How could she act as if she was weak then?
“Grandfather is in a coma. Brother Joseph, you have to take him to a hospital!”
