StarNovelChapter 288 The coldest tof day was during the darkest tbefore dawn.
Serena and Hugh hurried downstairs, and she was jolted by the sharp chill of the wind. She gritted her teeth, enduring the cold as she made her way to the parking lot.
She felt a weight settle on her shoulders.
Hugh's coat had fallen over her shoulders. His hair was disheveled from the wind, but his gaze remained intense as he watched her.
"Don't catch a cold." "Thank you," Serena responded absentmindedly, glancing at the few steps leading to the car. Without thinking, she pulled the oversized coat tighter around her shoulders.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth Cole and Hugh were from the Larson family. But Hugh treated her, his engagement partner, with such care, while Cole remained so indifferent. It truly was frustrating to compare people.
As soon as they got in the car, Eric called.
"Hugh, bring that ungrateful son of mine from the Larson residence! No amount of kneeling in the family chapel will make up for how he made Grandpa sick like this. He should kneel in front of him!" "Alright." Hugh's face remained grim, but he didn't change direction. He kept heading to the hospital.
Serena, confused, asked, "Why not go straight to the Larson residence?" "The Larson residence is too far and cold. I'll take you to the hospital to stay with Grandpa, and you can help check on him. I'll handle the family matters; you just need to show up." Hugh sped up, heading straight for the hospital.
"Okay." Serena nodded in agreement.
The streetlights flashed by as the car sped through the night, casting dappled light on Hugh's cold expression. Serena felt warmth stir in her heart. He was going out of his way just to make sure she didn't catch a cold. As her ally, he was more considerate than any friend.
She would take care of Calvin for him.
Upon reaching the hospital, Hugh's car disappeared into the early morning darkness. Serena rushed upstairs and was relieved to hear that Calvin's condition had finally stabilized. Eric and Melissa were watching over him.
Serena entered the room and asked softly, "How is Grandpa?" "Speak quietly." Melissa made a shushing gesture, signaling her to step into the hallway.
Serena glanced at the stable readings on the machine. She let out a sigh of relief before retreating back to the corridor.
Melissa and Eric followed her out. Before Serena could ask about Calvin's condition, Melissa was already pointing at her, her eyes bloodshot and her voice trembling.
"What are you pretending to be so kind for? Don't think I have no idea that Sarah got into a conflict with Regina a few days ago. And last night Regina had a car accident and broke her legs! "Sarah also got hit at the porcelain exhibition because she was flirting with Cole! How could this be a mere coincidence? Tell me, is Sarah behind the car accident?" Melissa's finger was almost poking Serena's nose.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEric stepped in, his face dark as he held her back.
"Stop talking nonsense! What she does has nothing to do with Serena. Grandpa's condition hasn't improved yet. Why are you making baseless accusations?" "Can't I say anything? Cole and Regina were a perfect match; their marriage will be excellent! But Cole called off the wedding without considering the Arnold family. He was doing all this for Sarah, that vixen! What's wrong withcalling Serena out?"
If Cole's arranged marriage with the Arnold family went well his position would be secure.
But now, because of the car accident, Cole hadn't even spared Regina a glance before breaking off the engagement. He hadn't just ruined the marriage. He'd also severed ties with the Arnold family.
Both the marriage and business deal were gone. The contentis novelenglish.net!
Melissa was so furious she almost fainted. Her legs gave way as she nearly collapsed to the floor.
