Chapter 345
Serena on the side was green with envy!
Hans turned to the girl next to him, his voice gentle: “You nervous?”
Arabella: “What?”
It’s just college entrance exam results; what’s there to be nervous about?
If Hans knew what she was capable of, he wouldn’t have asked such a question.
But to keep him from worrying, she obediently answered, “I’m good.”
Hans didn’t see any nervousness or anxiety in her eyes. Was she confident in her results?
“I’m leaving for abroad in two days. After work tomorrow, I’ll take you to see Grandma and Grandpa, okay?”
This was the last deadline he could push! His work at Dawnstar was always pressing. Tomorrow was his last day with his sister, and thinking about it, he felt a bit reluctant.
Though Kenneth and Louisa also wished the elders could see their granddaughter, they have been in a coma, which was why they didn’t arrange for them to meet Arabella.
A cunning glint passed through Serena’s eyes. If Grandma and Grandpa didn’t wake up, then there was no point in Arabella going. Without their approval, she’d have made a wasted trip!
But if Grandma and Grandpa suddenly woke up and saw Arabella which caused them too much excitement, their bodies might not be able to handle it. If anything happened, then Arabella would be the scapegoat!
The Collins family would never accept someone who caused their grandparents‘ deaths!
She just couldn’t miss this drama!
So she gently said, “Dad, mom, brother, I also want to visit Grandma and Grandpa.”
“Should we all go together?” Kenneth thought. If the entire family went, perhaps the elders would suddenly wake up upon hearing their voices.
“Bella, I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon.” Hans lightly patted Arabella’s head. “Let’s eat first, or the food will get cold.”
“Okay.” Arabella thought, Someone’s about to get jealous again; she’s always being ignored these days.
Thankfully, they owned a hospital, so Grandma and Grandpa could receive proper treatment. If they were an average family, it would cost them two thousand dollars a day, and by the end of the month, they would be bankrupt.
Caden once said he had seen through human nature. He had witnessed countless life–and–death moments in the ER. Some family members wanted to pull the plug on their loved ones as soon as they were admitted to the ICU, giving up on treatment.
Some did it because they had no money, others because they were impatient.
In general, human nature was laid bare here, causing one to sigh.
“Bella, what are you thinking about?” Hans added another bowl of soup for her. He noticed she was calm earlier, but now she was deep in thought. Was she worrying about her college entrance exam results?
She was still a child, unable to completely hide her feelings.
Thinking of this, Hans gently said, “Don’t worry, whether it’s your college entrance exam results or anything else, I’m here for you.”
As for Summerfield University, who would dare refuse a member of the Collins family?
