Ch. 2021..2030

Chapter 2021 "Gosh! I don't know what to do with you. You're just like a child!" The seven-year-old little girl felt that she was already an adult.

"Hahaha. Aino is now like an adult." Sean was already fawning over Aino at that moment.

Sean then moved into the rooftop garden on the highest floor. He was staying near his son and daughter-in-law, and he also was able to meet his granddaughter and grandson every day.

Therefore, his mood also became better. From time to time, he would visit Summer's grave, and he would be there for a whole afternoon whenever he went over. He would mutter to himself, "All of you have passed away. However, I am still alive instead. I could see my grandchildren and I could still stay with my son and grandchildren. Why do I deserve this? Suddenly I feel that staying alive is suffering to me. Sometimes, I feel it's not always a good thing for someone to stay alive. I am able to keep living, but I have to watch all of you being laid to rest here every day and night. I am suffering, Grace, Holden. I...will come to clean your grave and plant flowers for you every month. Say something, Grace...in the next life or maybe one day when I have also gone over to the other side, just let prostrate myself at your feet and be your servant for life, alright?"

The grave was very silent. No one answered Sean's words. After Sean left the cemetery, he went to the psychiatric hospital.

When he arrived at the psychiatric hospital, the director of the hospital and also the doctors would have a mutual understanding and would directly take him to Rose's single ward.

The wall, the room, and the bed and covers were all white. The medical staff who came to take care of Rose every day would do their routine checks and leave after they had delivered food for her. other than the three meals a day, Rose did not even have a person to talk to at all.

Sometimes, she would feel that she was going crazy, she had even thought of hanging herself. It was too torturing. Therefore, when Sean visited her every time, she would always tear at Sean while covered in tears as she wanted Sean to take her away from there.

"Sean, I've always been doing it for the Ford family! Everything that I had done was for the Ford family! What exactly have I done wrong? My sons are all dead already, and yet, I still have to be punished like this?" Rose said, crying.

Sean was in tears.

"Rose, I am at fault. You are also at fault. The ones who did nothing wrong and were innocent were Grace and also my poor son, Holden, who are both now in the heavens. Back then, we truly had done incredibly heinous things for the sake of expanding the Ford family. What has Grace done wrong? What has my son, Holden, done wrong? Both you and I have to atone for our sins. Don't be upset anymore, Rose." 1 "Sean, we are a couple. We're a couple for life!" Rose roared.

Sean smiled miserably. "Couple? If there's a next life, I don't wish for us to be a married couple anymore. We've been a married couple for life, but you let all three of our sons join hands together to stab Grace and I's son in the back, what if Sebastian died eight years ago? Grace would then have to be imprisoned for life. I came to understand very well later on why Grace deceived US and put Holden on star Island. She wanted to give her child a glimmer of hope to live. My wife, how vicious you must have been? If there is another life, let's never see each other anymore," said Sean. After that, Sean handed something to Rose in secret.

When it was at the dead of night, Rose opened up that small piece of thing and it was unexpectedly a blade in there. It was a sharp blade like an actual razor.

That night, Rose smiled. "Sean, thank you. Thank you! II

Chapter 2022 After all, they had been a married couple for life, so Sean still took pity on her. It was impossible for Sean to plead with his son to spare his lawfully wedded wife's life. He did not have the face to do it. All of the countless crimes Rose had done to Sebastian were enough for Sebastian to tear her up into a million pieces. However, Sean and Rose had still been married for life. Therefore, the only thing Sean could do to help Rose was to set her free.

At that moment, Rose was better dead than alive. She had to face white walls and white covers every day. She would have gone crazy if she had not already been. However, it just so happened that Rose had not gone crazy. That made it even harder for her to get through her days.

"Sean, I know all of the mistakes I have made. I was too competitive and too ambitious. I was the one who had taken advantage of Grace in order to stabilize our business. Later on, it was me again who had lured her over and then set her up, so she ended up in prison. That was because I found out that you weren't without any feelings for her. I found out that you loved her. I was afraid. Therefore, I got her to come to this country and then I framed her and got her imprisoned.

Now that I think about it, who had Grace offended? We had destroyed her home. We destroyed her love, and we had reduced her to being a homewrecker. We let her get pregnant, but she did not even have a place to give birth. She had given birth, but she did not even get to be part of the Ford family. How could we be so cruel to her? We did not think so at that time. I did not think so either. I even thought that people who had done great things should not be bothered with trivial matters. However, we had overlooked the fact that who are we to deprive her of everything?” 2 She continued. "Sean, you were right. Both you and I are sinners through and through. It was Sebastian who had won, after all. This child truly had brought glory to his mother. He, alone, had avenged all the grievances that his mother had suffered and snatched back everything that he had lost. Not only that, but he had also killed his enemies. He had made all of his enemies get the punishments that they deserved.

Sebastian is truly great. Putting aside the fact that he is your son, even if he is not your son, I would also think that he is great. How great would it be if I could have a biological son like Sebastian? I am a sinner. I am not worthy to be Sebastian's stepmother.

Therefore, it is not too much at all for him to let me have such a torturous punishment. Sean, I have to thank you. Thank you for sending this blade to me so that I finally can stop facing these white tiled walls and white covers. I finally can be free now. Sean, will you buy a shroud to wrap my body and bury me in the grounds? Sean..."

While tears streamed down Rose's face, she took that blade and sliced it on her aorta without any hesitation. A pool of murky red instantly stained the white ward that was not too big. It was all silent and quiet that night.

The sky was gloomy the following day. Sean woke up at six in the morning, and he left the house with a depressed and mournful expression to buy breakfast for his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

That restaurant was what Sean had discovered by himself. One day when he got up for a morning walk, he saw several old men and women, who were enjoying their leisure morning, coming out of an alley while carrying food containers. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he then walked towards the alley.

It was after he had gone into the alley that he realized people were coming out from the deep ends of the alley. Some of them were carrying food containers while some carried small pots.

What was going on?

Chapter 2023 Sean got even more curious. He continued to walk towards the place where people had come out, and he had to turn a corner again when he arrived at a junction. He then continued to walk further in after turning the corner. In the end, he found the porridge place.

It was true that good wine needs no bush. Sean sat down and ate a bowl, and it truly shocked him to his core. The Ford family had many maids. After Sean had come to Sebastian's house, although there were not many maids there, Aunt Lewis and Aunt Tianna were great cooks.

However, Sean simply had never tasted such delicious porridge. He finished one serving, and then he got himself another. After he had finished, he gave it a thought and he just had to bring some back to his grandchildren.

However, he had no pot or food containers, so what should he do? He simply bought a large stainless steel container from the store next door. He asked the seller to rinse the container with boiling water and clean it for him. After that, he directly bought an entire container worth of porridge from the restaurant and went home. 1 Once he returned to Sebastian and Sabrina's house, he pushed the door open and called out to Aunt Lewis. "Aunt Lewis, Aunt Lewis, you don't have to prepare the porridge anymore. I brought some home."

Aunt Lewis, who was about to start preparing the porridge, saw that Sean had carried a large container home and she also got very curious. However, since Master Ford said not to prepare the porridge, she just followed his orders. Half an hour later, Sebastian, Sabrina, and Aino got up to have breakfast, and all of them, especially Aino, was stunned after they had the first bite of the porridge.

Aino looked at Aunt Lewis with surprise. "Grandma Lewis, have your cooking skills improved again? I love you to the moon and back. I want to have your porridge every day from now on.

Well, can I have another bowl, Grandma Lewis?"

Aino was very curious about why Aunt Lewis put the porridge in the container.

Aunt Lewis looked at Aino with embarrassment., " Well... Aino, the porridge today is not...not prepared by me..."

Aunt Lewis glanced at Sean.

Aino was speechless. After she was stunned for a while, she asked Sean, "You're the one who prepared it?" She was truly impressed by the old man.

Sean immediately smiled apologetically. "No...it was not prepared by me. I...I bought it. Is it...delicious?"

Aino nodded. "Yes, it's delicious."

She had to admit that the porridge that the old man had bought was indeed too delicious. It was incomparably fresh, smooth, and thick. It was simply fantastic. That morning, Aino unprecedentedly said to Sean, "Thankyou, old man."

Just a simple thank you was enough to melt Sean's heart. From then onwards, Sean would go and buy a large container full of porridge for the entire family every now and then. Also, he learned that the other dishes from the restaurant were incomparably tasty as well. It was no wonder why the restaurant was thriving despite being located in such a remote place.

However, that particular day, Sean was actually feeling restless. He did not even sleep a wink the night before, and he could not sit in his rooftop garden. He had to get busy and do something. Therefore, Sean had carried his food container and lined up in front of the restaurant earlier in the morning. He had waited in line for about an hour before he was able to buy the porridge, side dishes, and also some other food. He then finally felt more at ease. However, Sean knew more than anybody else that something would happen that day.

While he slowly walked back home, tears were streaming down his face. Once he opened the door, Sean saw the entire family was standing at the door looking at him. Sebastian, in particular, was looking at Sean with a calm expression.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked.

"Dad, she...is dead," Sebastian said calmly.

Chapter 2024 The porridge that Sean was holding in his hands fell. Fortunately, Sebastian was quick to react and he caught the thermal container before it landed on the floor.

"She had a very peaceful expression when she died."

Sean raised his head and looked at his son. His son's expression was even calmer. It was as if he knew that his stepmother, Rose Quinton, would die at this time. In fact, Sebastian truly knew.

Even that blade was deliberately placed at a prominent place by Sebastian for his father to see.

His father had recently often visited Rose during that period. He almost went to the psychiatric hospital to visit Rose every time he visited Grace at the cemetery. He would spend as much time scolding Rose at the hospital as the duration he had spent crying at Grace's grave. Both the people who were still alive were suffering beyond measure. It was particularly so for Rose.

Sebastian had sent someone to keep a close watch on Rose's every move. Under the circumstance of not having any kind of entertainment and only in a room where the walls and everything else was white, it truly was very difficult for a sober person who had not gone crazy to endure. It would have been better if she had gone crazy. Everything would have been resolved if she had gone insane. Rose's regret and the self- inflicted torture made her scratch and yank her hair til she was bald.

Since Sebastian had already gotten what he wanted, it was unnecessary to go overboard and force her into the corner like this. Therefore, Sebastian placed the blade that was most eye- catching to his father, other than that, he also notified the staff at the psychiatric hospital and asked them to turn a blind eye to what might happen.

Rose had once lived a glorious and wealthy life. However, she was too cruel and she had not taken other people's lives seriously. It was already the greatest kindness Sebastian could give her to let her have such an ending and to die in such a good and dignified way.

Sebastian knew that his father was sad. His father had not slept a wink the night before while Sebastian also did not sleep much. In fact, when his father had gone to buy porridge early in the morning, Sebastian had been following behind him. Sebastian had just arrived home five minutes before Sean had gotten home. Within that five minutes, Sebastian received a call from the psychiatric hospital. Rose had taken her own life. It was expected, but the sorrow was also inevitable. 1 However, Sebastian only felt sorrow for a brief moment in time. He then looked calmly at his father. " Dad, I will give her a grand funeral and I will also..."

Sebastian originally wanted to say, "I will also bury her in the Ford family's family plot. In the future, she will be buried with you."

However, before those words came out of Sebastian's mouth, Sebastian cut him off. "No! Don't bury her in the Ford family's family plot. I...don't want to be buried together with her!"

He said that with immense resolution and was without the slightest bit of hesitation. Sabrina and the maids all became silent for a moment when they heard him. Two lines of tears streamed down the old man's face and he took over the thermal container from Sebastian's hand once again, and then he walked to the dining room with faltering steps.

"If there is another life, I will never marry such a forceful and domineering woman who recklessly harmed others in order to achieve her goals. Never again. I never want to see her again in this life and in any other lifetime. Let's just not see each other again."

What he said was the truth. Such a woman seemed forceful, but she made the Ford family lose everything in the end. Every decision she made seemed to be well thought out and shrewd, but every decision she made was shooting herself in the foot. Such a woman seemed very strong, her spirit and courage were comparable to men. However, what about the actuality? She actually just had a mentality of a jealous woman. It was because she was jealous that her husband had once slept with Grace that she did not care if Grace was a pawn arranged by her and if Grace was set up by her. As long as Grace was a woman who had been with her husband, she would have to die! It was to such an extent that not only did she harm others, but she also harmed herself.

Chapter 2025 This kind of woman must never be chosen as a partner in all the future lives to come, she was too harmful!

After he placed the thermal container in the dining room, Sean turned to look at Sabrina.

"Sabrina, come over and eat. The porridge today is especially good. You should eat more so that you can produce more breastmilk."

"Mister Ford..." Sabrina did not know what to say.

No matter what this person had done when she was alive, the deceased was still to be respected after all.

"Sabrina, it's Sebastian's greatest fortune to be able to meet you in this lifetime."

Sabrina was speechless.

While Sean served a bowl of porridge, he said, "In fact, your mother-in-law, Grace, was a rare and good woman who had discerning eyes. It's just a pity that I'm not worthy of having Grace.

Look at Grace. How great was she in keeping a low profile? How great was her foresight? she knew a long time ago that you're an extraordinary woman, so she had decided that you'll be her daughter-in-law. I had only realized one truth at this moment after I had lived to such an old age.

The greatest fortune in a man's life is finding a woman who could lead her man to the right path and also go through thick and thin with him. If a man could have such a wife to accompany him, even if he did not have wealth in his life, so what? What is wealth? It's just a fleeting thing that we're born with and can never take with US after we die. Your mother- in-law had paved the path for Sebastian's future very well before she died. It's just such a shame that I wasn't blessed and I'm not worthy to be with her for life."

"Mister Ford..." Sabrina said. At that moment, she could only call out to him. She could not say anything else. She also did not know what to say. Even Aino could tell that the old man was in a very depressive mood that day. Aino gently called out, "old man, no... Grandpa?"

Sean looked at Aino with a warm smile. "Aino, hurry up over to eat. The porridge today is better than the previous one. I had learned a trick, which is to go earlier. If I were to go earlier, the porridge I buy would be even fresher, smoother, and thicker. Quickly come and have some."

Aino nodded. "Mm-hmm. Alright, Grandpa."

"Sabrina," Sean called out again. "Come over as well. Let me have the child. Let me tell you something. The child is already six-months-old. He could have some porridge or some paste.

This porridge will melt in your mouth, so it's suitable for the child to have a little."

Sabrina looked at Sean with gratitude. "Thank you."

"Come, let me have the child." Sean took Louie off Sabrina's arms and carried him.

The six-month-old baby was very close with his grandfather. He babbled while his grandfather blew on a small silicone spoonful of porridge to cool it and then fed it to him. Louie enjoyed it very much. After he finished that spoonful, he even opened his little mouth and asked his grandfather for more. Sean then fed another bite to the child.

Aino, who was watching from the side, was incredibly envious. "Grandpa, you only feed my brother!"

Once Sean heard that, he immediately handed the child to Sabrina, and then he frantically and sincerely fed Aino. "Aino, open wide. Open wide and you'll be able to have the whole bite."

Aino opened her mouth very obediently and ate the porridge that her grandfather had fed her.

Sabrina and Sebastian looked at each other in shock when they saw that scene.

After a while, Sebastian made a call. "Kingston, give the orders to the rest. Rose Quinton's funeral must be held in a grand manner."

Kingston, who was on the other end of the call, was speechless. There was a pause before he replied, "I got it, Master Sebastian. Should I..."

"Yes, invite all the friends and family of the Ford family."

She was already dead, so Sebastian did not want to fuss about anything anymore. Moreover, his father had already said to not let Rose be buried in the family plot. That was already a huge punishment for Rose.

"Alright, Master Sebastian. I got it," said Kingston.

After he ended the call, Sebastian looked at Sean and said, "Dad, do you have anything else you want to add?"

Sean put the bowl and the spoon down, and he suddenly burst out bawling

Chapter 2026 Sean's voice was extremely miserable and mournful. A whole night had passed since he had given Rose that blade yesterday. Sean was finally about to release all over the pent up emotion. He bent over on the dining table and cried so hard that he was unable to get up. She was his wife, after all, so how could he not have any affection for her at all? The two of them had three children together and had lived together for more than forty years. In those years, they had been through thick and thin and had supported each other. How could he just let that go?

Sebastian consoled Sean. "Dad, just cry if you want to. Just go and have a look if you want to."

Sean was covered in tears. "Sebastian, I...thank you, but I still have to move on. You had already done right by me and also her. she and I have no relationship anymore in this life. However, she was my wife, after all, so I want to see her off one last time. "

Sebastian nodded. "Alright. We'll do everything as you say."

Sebastian was a man of his words. In the next few days, Sebastian held a grand funeral for Rose, and he also received the highest praise for his good reputation.

"After all the things that this old woman had done to Master Sebastian, he should have just dumped her at a mass grave, and yet, he held a funeral for her?"

"He is Master Sebastian, after all. He is generous and tolerant!"

"People often say that Master Sebastian is vicious, cold, and heartless. I don't think so."

"Master Sebastian was indeed cold and heartless in the past, but he had changed a lot in the recent years. After all, he is a man with a wife and two children. He has now become tolerant and kind- hearted."

"I, on the other hand, feel that the reason Master Sebastian became so tolerant and gentle definitely has something to do with that good wife behind him."

"Master Sebastian's wife indeed is an extraordinary person!"

"I heard that Missus Ford is very capable. She seemed to be the boss at an architectural firm now, and the projects she undertook were big as well. It's truly so unexpected that she has such a wealthy husband, but she did not rely on her husband at all. she was able to stand on her own two feet instead." 1 "I truly could not tell. To think that back then..."

"What happened back then?" The person who had asked this question was a very young lady, she was not from South City and had just come here three years ago after she got married. Therefore, she had not much knowledge, or she even simply had no clue at all, about what happened nine years ago.

When this young lady saw Sabrina, she was already a mother of two, was very competent, had a calm expression.

The Sabrina that this young lady saw was already a mother of two, was very competent, had a calm expression, and also had a mature and composed smile. She was also heading a very high-end architectural firm. Sabrina was already incomparably glorified in the eyes of others, she was exuding a sense of confidence from her core. How many people in the entire South City looked up to her and respected her? Sabrina could not even remember it herself. She truly had a world of difference compared to nine years ago. 1 This was particularly so for the people who had seen her nine years ago when she was down and out, ostracized, and kicked around like a rubber ball by the entire high society of the South City, when the same people saw Sabrina again, she was incomparably calm and composed at her husband's stepmother's funeral. She was able to take care of all the matters for her husband, and she cooperated with her husband very well. Everyone was impressed by her. Nigel's mother, who was Sebastian's aunt, was especially impressed by her.

At that moment, other than Sean, all of the older generations of the Ford family were gone. Winnie Ford felt that this elder brother of hers was her only relative, so after Rose's funeral, Winnie also wanted to get closer to Sabrina. A few years ago, because of the matters relating to her son, Nigel Conor, Winnie had made Sabrina's life quite difficult.

Chapter 2027 In fact, at that time, Winnie knew better than anyone else her son was actually a jerk, and it was indeed her son who came on to Sabrina. However, Winnie just could not stand the sight of Sabrina at that time.

Therefore, she exhausted all the ways to drive away and bully Sabrina, she just kept sullying with Sabrina's reputation.

Back then, Winnie thought to herself that since Sabrina already had such a tainted reputation, the more she could sully her reputation the better it was. In any case, Sabrina was just a drifter who had no power to fight back, so even if Winnie had bullied and humiliated her, what could Sabrina do?

However, Winnie had never expected that such a drifter was able to survive with her own perseverance, and she was even married to Sebastian. On top of that, she was able to make a name for herself without relying on Sebastian’s powers. At that moment, not only did Sabrina make Winnie feel ashamed and terrified, she even made Winnie have an incomparable admiration for her.

A week after Rose's funeral, Winnie came to Sabrina and Sebastian's house under the pretext of visiting her elderly brother. Winnie and her husband asked Nigel and Minerva to bring them to Sabrina and Sebastian's house. Once they entered the door, they saw that Sebastian's house was very lively that day. Zayn and his wife were there. Marcus, Yvonne, and also Gloria were there. Ryan and Ruth were also there. Sebastian's living room was usually very spacious, but after so many people had come, it appeared to be slightly packed.

When they saw Nigel, Minerva, as well as Winnie and her husband, all the guests in the house were stunned for a while. Nigel and Minerva had come often, so they did not feel strange about them at all. However, Winnie had never been to her nephew's house. 1 "Sean..." Winnie smiled and looked at her Sean. "Our parents are gone, and so is your wife. I am just here to see you. If you feel bored, you can come to my house and chat with me and Nigel's father..."

Sean looked at Winnie calmly. "Winnie, thank you for coming to see me. Don't worry, I am living a good life here with Sebastian and Sabrina. Sabrina cares about me very much. The two children also don't bother me. Aino, in particular, used to be reluctant to talk to me, but she is willing to call me grandpa now, and she even often follows me to get breakfast. There's also the little boy. He is already seven months old and can already babble now. My life is very enriched."

Sean had already completely moved on from the grief of Rose's passing. He did not have any great wishes at that moment. He just wanted to accompany his two grandchildren and buy them some food when he was free. That would be enough for him. what made Sean feel the most relieved was that Sabrina was not estranged from him at all. she still addressed and treated him like he was her own father.

Thinking of that, Sean said to Winnie, "Sabrina is a great daughter-in-law. The best thing the Ford family did in this life was to let Sabrina marry into the family. Not only is she a great help to her husband, but she also understands very well the fact that everything will be great when a family lives harmoniously. Sabrina is my good daughter-in-law!"

Sean truly was emotional when he said such sincere words, which made Winnie feel even more ashamed. She smiled awkwardly and looked at Sabrina. " Sabrina, back then, I..."

Sabrina did not have much of an impression of Winnie at all. They usually hardly had any interactions with each other. Even if there was any form of contact with her, it was also through Nigel. At that moment when she saw Winnie, Sabrina did not know what to say at all.

"Missus Conor, if you have something to say, just be straightforward about it." Sabrina looked at Winnie with neither an arrogant nor humble expression.

"Sabrina, you see, you...had once saved Nigel's life. If it wasn't for you, Nigel would have died a long time ago. However, I still treated you that way. It had already been so many years, and I never had the chance to properly apologize to you. Look at you now. You take such good care of my brother as well. As Sebastian's aunt, I truly am..."

"Aunt Winnie, what...exactly do you want to say?" Sebastian asked indifferently.

Chapter 2028 Winnie looked at Sebastian with embarrassment. " Sebastian, I just felt that I had been too harsh on Sabrina a few years ago.” 'You were more than harsh.' Sebastian thought to himself.

However, she was his aunt after all, she was the only relative his father had in the world. On top of that, the Conor Group had been very obedient and Nigel had also been doing very well in the past few years. Therefore, Sebastian did not want to argue with her on whatever matters that he could let go of.

Sabrina actually did not care about it at all. The main reason was that Nigel had once saved both Sabrina and Aino's life back then in star Island. Besides, at that moment, Winnie had long lost the arrogance she had back then, and she was only left to tremble in fear.

Sabrina smiled calmly. "Let the bygones be bygones. In any case, if you were to encounter such a situation again in the future, just don't oppress others. To be honest, the feeling of being oppressed truly is very bad.” Speaking of that, Sabrina raised her eyebrow and smiled, and then said jokingly, "You have no idea how many times I had the urge to kill someone back then.” Winnie wiped her sweat and nodded. "Yes, if I were in that kind of situation, I would also kill someone.” To think about it at that moment, to what extent had they forced a girl, who was powerless and without support, back then? How could someone bully another person like that? How could someone crush another person like that? It was fortunate that she was Sabrina. If it were any other girl, who did not have a strong enough will, she might have died 100 times. Not only did Sabrina not die, but she even lived very well.

Since Sabrina was living her life very well at that moment, then there was no need for her to fuss about and complain about the past. One must always move on. Besides, Sabrina already had two children, she would become even stronger for the sake of her children. Only if she was strong could she be a very good example to her children and let her children not easily give up in the future no matter what kind of difficulties they faced.

Sabrina looked and smiled at Winnie, and then changed the topic. "Cousin Nigel...” Nigel was actually older than Sabrina. However, as Sebastian was older than Nigel, Nigel had to treat her with respect as if she was older than him. Usually, Sabrina would not dare to address Nigel as her cousin through marriage, but she still had to be more respectful in front of Nigel's mother. 1 "Cousin Nigel and Minerva..." Sabrina looked at Nigel and Minerva.

Although Minerva had just turned nineteen, everyone knew that Minerva would never marry anyone else if not Nigel. Many years ago, when he was still a playboy, plenty of girls and young women in South City had fallen for him. If Sebastian's looks were the best in South City, then Nigel would be second best. However, such a man fell head over heels for such a young girl like Minerva who had freckles on her face, a flat nose, small eyes, thick lips, and tan skin. Nigel was already thirty-two years old, but he still did not Minerva instantly blushed when she heard that. ” Aunt Sabrina...” Minerva addressed Holden as Uncle Holden. After Holden was gone, Minerva willfully addressed Sebastian as Uncle Sebastian. Sebastian also did not object. Besides, Minerva was really hand in glove with Aino. If you were to ask Aino who was the prettiest girl in the world, Aino absolutely would give a jaw dropping answer, "of course, it's Miss Minerva, she is a world class beauty.” Just based on that point, Sebastian absolutely would not object to Minerva addressing him as Uncle Sebastian. If Minerva addressed Sebastian as Uncle Sebastian, it was only natural that she would address Sabrina as Aunt Sabrina.

”L..had just gotten into college,” said Minerva, blushing.

"You're going to be studying for seven years straight to get your master's degree in medicine.

After waiting for you for seven years, Nigel would be almost forty. It is possible to get married while attending college, so don't delay it for too long.” Sabrina then said.

Minerva's eyes lit up. of course, she agreed. It was also for the sake of preventing herself from dreaming about it often.

Chapter 2029 Nigel smiled. "Anythingyou say, Sabrina."

Up until that point, although Nigel loved Minerva, the respect and sincerity he had for Sabrina were still deeply rooted in him. The three of them then chatted for a while regarding Nigel and Minerva's marriage, and then Nigel got up and left. He still had to drive Minerva to visit Holden's grave.

Nigel only found out later on that the girl, Minerva, valued relationships too much, when her Uncle Holden was still alive, she did not show it. However, after a year since her Uncle Holden had died, Minerva still could not move on from his death, and she went to visit her uncle's grave almost every week, she would place fresh flowers on his grave and would cry while hugging his tombstone every time.

She would say with incomparable resentment every time, "Uncle Holden, why are you so not strong, why must you jump in front of a bullet for someone else? Uncle Holden, why are you so silly? Why don't you want your own life? You just had to wait for me for another seven years. I will be working seven years later, and I can support you, Uncle Holden, when the time comes, I can even help you get a girlfriend who is a doctor. Uncle Holden..."

She cried her heart out. However, no matter how hard she cried, only the man in the picture on the tombstone with a slightly gloomy smile looked at her coldly. Sometimes, Nigel would think that if there were someone who looked very similar to Holden in this world, then he certainly would let Minerva treat that person as her uncle. The loss of her Uncle Holden truly was the most heartbreaking thing for Minerva in her life.

Nigel also knew that Minerva did not love food or clothes. She had been very frugal with everything. Ever since she came to South City, she did not talk much. The only thing she had to do every week was to visit her Uncle Holden's grave. Therefore, even if Nigel had something immensely important, he would postpone it because visiting Holden's grave was the most important thing.

After Nigel got up and left, Zayn, who was originally sitting on the couch and had a hand wrapped around Hana, saw Nigel out.

"Nigel, when you're not busy, let's grab a bite together," said Zayn politely.

Nigel looked at Zayn emotionally. "Zayn, I see that your wife is about to give birth, right? when your child is born, you will..."

Halfway through his sentence, Nigel swallowed his words. Originally, Zayn was considered Nigel's follower. In the past, he had brought Zayn along to do many bad things. However, Zayn was more lenient, gentle, and kind than Nigel, after all. Zayn was Sabrina's family for life, but Nigel, on the other hand, was not. Zayn was Sabrina's life, but Nigel, on the other hand, was a spittoon to Sabrina at best. Nigel's place in Sabrina's heart in this life was never able to compare to Zayn in this life. However, Nigel was not jealous at all. He was very relieved and also very ashamed.

"Zayn, we..."

Zayn patted Nigel's shoulder. "Nigel, when did you come so sentimental! When my child is born, you'll certainly be his godfather! Could it be that you're trying to dodge it, and you want to not give my child a gift? I won't allow it!"

Nigel was flattered. "Yes! Great! of course, it's alright! I will certainly be your child's godfather!

When the time comes, how could just a gift be enough? I will prepare a mansion for the child!

Now, that's the bomb, right?"

Zayn annoyedly patted Nigel again. "You brat! Don't scare my child! If my child burst out crying because of your bomb, I will get back at you!"

Nigel laughed.

The two men heard Hana suddenly calling out, "oh, gosh!"

Zayn turned around and quickly ran to Hana, "what's the matter? What's wrong, dear?"

Everyone looked in Hana in shock.

Hana then raised her head, smiled. "I'm afraid that the child is coming out earlier after Uncle Nigel dropped the bomb."

Chapter 2030 Hana actually was still three weeks away from her due date. However, for some reason, she actually had signs of premature labor. After all, Hana was having a geriatric pregnancy, so she was at an advanced maternal age.

"Hana, Hana!" Zayn called out anxiously. "Is it very painful? Are you really going into labor?"

Hana was in so much pain that she could not straighten her back anymore. "I...this is my second pregnancy. I have experience and I am in labor. Zayn, hurry...quickly get me to the hospital, quick!"

"Alright!" Zayn immediately carried Hana in his arms and headed out.

Nigel, who was at the door, had already opened the door. After Zayn went down, the large number of people in Sabrina's house also followed him to the hospital. Even Louie, who was only eight months old, was brought to the hospital as well.

Everyone was anxiously waiting outside of the delivery room and nobody dared to say anything.

Only the little child, Louie, was babbling inside the stroller. Time was flashing by but at the same time, passing very slowly. They had already been suffering for almost five hours, but Hana still had not delivered the baby. The people, who were standing and waiting outside, even heard the midwife shouting inside the delivery room.

"Push! Push harder!"

"Gosh...the pregnant lady's age is slightly advanced, she can't exert any strength anymore, what should we do? Half of the baby's head has emerged," said one of the midwives anxiously.

"What to do? Ask her family if they want to save the adult or the child?"

Zayn vaguely heard such words inside the delivery room and he broke down. He squatted outside the delivery room and cried while cowering.

Sabrina stood in front of Zayn and felt very sorry for him. "Zayn! You have to stay stronger. You can't cry at a moment like this! You are the mainstay for your wife and child! Zayn, you have to stay strong!"

The door to the delivery room opened. A midwife emerged. "The lady is having a difficult delivery. There is a great possibility that we can only save one of them now. Do you want to save the adult or save...” "Adult! Adult! Adult! I don't want the child anymore! " Zayn was crying inconsolably.

He was beyond exasperated! He had followed Sabrina and wandered out there for almost six years. On top of that, his legs were crippled. He honestly had already lost hope for life until he met Hana. He and Hana had a very good relationship. They were extremely close. It did not matter even if they did not have children. However, if Hana was gone, even if they had a child, Zayn also did not have the courage to live anymore.

Seeing that Zayn had a meltdown, Sabrina quickly made the decision. "Save the adult!"

The midwife hesitated for a while. "If this delivery is not successful, the mother may never be able to have another child again."

"I know!" Sabrina said firmly.

"Alright, we'll do as you say and save the adult!" The midwife went back in with a very relieved expression.

After she entered and closed the door to the delivery room, the few midwives said, "Such an open-minded family. How touching."

After saying that, one of the midwives said to Hana, " Your family said to save you, the adult."

"No! No, no, no! I want the child. I want my child. Doctor, I'm begging you, please. You have to save my child. My husband is ten years younger than me. He loves me very much. I have nothing to give to my husband anymore. I just want to give him a child. Doctor, you have to listen to me. You have to do as I say. My husband is very rich. Even if I died, he can still remarry. If I survive, I will never be able to have a child again for life. I will be a burden to my husband. My husband is too good to me. I had only received kindness from my husband in this life. I can't bear to harm him! Doctor, I'm begging you."

The midwife cried. Perhaps this was what a couple who had been through adversity together looked like.
