At this point, Grace's head wasn’t the only thing hurting-her chest, her stomach, her liver, even her lungs were

aching.

Everything hurt.

Her oldest grandson had been determined to divorce Lily, so she'd even drugged him. And still, he'd rather hurt

himself than touch Lily.

She'd tried to let it go, telling herself that the younger generation would find their own happiness. If Lily could

find someone who truly loved her, she could accept the divorce.

But never in a million years did she expect this.

Her grandson... wanted a man?

To hell with letting the children find their own happiness!

She had to step in. Immediately.

If she didn’t pull her grandson back to the straight and narrow, their ancestors were going to crawl out of their

graves in rage.

She'd met plenty of girls in her life, and none were more beautiful than Lily. If Lily couldn't bring James back from

the brink, no one could.

She couldn't let them get divorced. No matter what it took-even if it meant Lily had to suffer a little longer.

She'd just have to treat the poor girl better from now on.

She blamed the whole thing on her husband. Clearly, the old man’s genes were faulty. No wonder their grandson

had gone astray.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She twisted Henry’s arm hard.

Henry clutched his chest and cried out, “Ayoo! You little brat-you’re trying to driveto aren’t you?! So you can

throw my funeral and be done with me? That's what you want, huh?! My heart! I'm having a heart attack! Don’t

even bother calling the ER, Ill just die right here! And don’t bother coming to my funeral either!”

grave,

He clutched his chest, staggered, and gasped. “I... | can’t breathe... I'm dying...”

“Dad!”

“Grandpa!”

Henry flopped over, eyes rolling back in his head, gasping tically as he dropped to the floor.

He even kicked Blanc as he fell. Blanc quickly grabbed Ivan to help prop him up.

James had always been close with his grandfather. Of course he didn’t want anything to happen to him.

He rushed forward and bent down, ready to carry Henry on his back. “I'll take Grandpa to the emergency ward.

Ivan, go get a doctor-"

“Not you!”

The old man was faking, and if James went along, the whole thing would fall apart. Grace wasn’t about to let that

happen.

She yanked James away with an annoyed huff. “If you go with him, you'll just make it worse. Stay right here and

take care of your wife! If you can’t look after Lily properly, then go ahead and start planning your grandfather's

funeral-and mine too!”

She shot a meaningful look at Blanc, who nodded. He and Ivan quickly carried Henry out of the room.

Nancy knew Henry was faking. The younger ones might not have realized, but she certainly had.

And since he wasn't really in any danger, there was no reason for her to follow.

Besides, she was more than happy to leave James alone with Lily. Maybe they could finally build skind of

emotional connection.

She left the room with Grace and the others.

James lingered in the hallway for a long tbefore finally returning to Lily’s room.

Henry might have seemed seriously unwell, but even that hadn't shaken James’ resolve to meet Leila on Sunday.

He understood that the older generation held very traditional views. To them, a relationship between two men

was completely unacceptable-immoral, even.

He used to feel the sway.

But that was before Leila.

Because Leila wasn’t just anyone. No matter what gender Leila was, James wasn’t letting go.

Yes, the truth had shocked his grandfather. But James believed they'd caround in time. He'd take it slow.

One step at a time.

For now, to avoid triggering another fake-or possibly real-heart attack, he had to stay in Lily's hospital room and

pretend to take care of her.

Lily had followed them out earlier too, deeply worried about Henry's condition. But Grace had insisted she return

to her room, so she had no choice.

Wendy had bribed doctors from a private hospital.

After the crash, Lily had also been brought here. Her room was spacious, with a reclining bed for visitors. James

could sleep there.

But even though they'd both been in

the shouse for a while, James

had always stayed in tte inéP sty.

Now, bag stick in the same

hospital room together,

face—to—face, was more awkward

“James, maybe you should go look after your grandpa,” Lily offered. “I'll be fine here on my own.”

James had no desire to be in her hospital room.

But he knew his grandfather's

temper. If he left now and Hepp

James wouldn't hear the end of it.

He walked to the nearby recliner and said coolly, “Don’t worry about me. I'll stay here tonight. Once Grandpa

calms down, I'll leave.”

“As for the divorce, I'll explain

everything to him in a few days.

Lily understood he was talking about that fictional old classmate she’d made up-the one she’d claimed might

becher new boyfriend.

Of course, there was no such person. But since she was definitely going to divorce James, there was no need to

explain.

She simply nodded and murmured, “I will.”

“Good. I'll keep an eye on your IV. You can sleep for a while.”

James sat upright on the recliner, clearly planning to stay awake until her IV drip was finished.
