Chapter 496

Once again, Susan had blindly chosen Horace, and her decision stung Ashlyn’s heart deeply.

Her grandma’s love for Horace was so deep that she could not distinguish between right or wrong. If Horace said

he wanted to eat her alive, she would offer herself up to him gladly and without any hesitation.

Ashlyn suddenly felt exhausted.

She put down the knife and handed her grandma a bank card. “There’s money in it. You can use it however you

want. I may be...”

She wanted to inform her that she might be dying.

But how do I tell her?

It’s not like telling her would solve my problem anyway.

“I don’t need your money! All I want is your dad to be back!” she shouted angrily as her tears fell. “Ashlyn, you

really can’t save your dad?”

“I really can’t,” Ashlyn sighed, she then placed the bank card on the table. “Grandma, I’ve paid in advance for the

caretaker for five years. You’ll be discharged soon. The caretaker will help you with everything. She’ll take care of

you in the future,” she explained.

Susan wiped her tears in surprise. “Five years? Why do I need her for that long? I can take care of myself after I’m

discharged. Besides, you’re still here. Now that your dad’s in jail, are you saying you don’t want to take care of me

anymore?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I probably can’t.” Ashlyn felt immense sadness in her heart. When Horace was

still at the Berry Residence, her grandma refused to leave no matter how hard she persuaded her.

Now that he was gone, her grandma finally thought of Ashlyn and wanted to live with her for the rest of her life?

Her son had abused her endlessly, yet she still treated him with love and affection.

Of course, she wished to live with her grandma for a long time. However, the poison in her body would break out

any time. Not only did she have Spirogyra now, but she also had Backtrack poison.

Even if she were to die one day, it was better to instill an idea in her grandma and let her think that she was still

alive.

Hence, she did not stay long as she bid goodbye to Susan.

Susan’s face turned vicious the moment Ashlyn stepped out of the ward. “She’s indeed an ungrateful wretch. I

wouldn’t have treated her this good if I had known. I also wouldn’t have raised her after her mom’s gone. Now look

where that has gotten me, all my effort in raising her went down the drain like that. I should’ve let her die.”

At that moment, a nurse entered her ward to deliver the meds. She was shocked to see the cunning expression on

Susan’s face.

When she looked a little closer, Susan’s face had changed to a more gentle expression. “Nurse, when can I be

discharged?”

“Soon. Maybe in a week or so.” The nurse put down the meds and wondered perhaps she had seen wrongly.

Meanwhile, in Centennial Healthcare’s lab, Jared sat on the couch tiredly. He had been working endlessly, which

challenged him both physically and mentally.

He had been staring at the research result these past few days, but there was no progress at all.

The Backtrack poison was too tricky.

Even if he had analyzed its ingredients, he still could not come up with the antidote.

He had tried various methods, but all of it came back futile.

He was not alone in this. All the other eight researchers were also worn out.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, he heard the sounds of footsteps.

He frowned and looked towards the door. Seconds later, a man with a strong aura walked in.

He was dressed in black and his handsome face seemed determined. One of his hands was inside his pocket as his

whole being screamed nobility.

Jared’s eyes fell behind him.

This doesn’t make sense! Doesn’t Mr. Nolan always have two rows of bodyguards making way for him? Why is he

alone now? Even Spencer’s not with him. Is he planning to kill me? To beat me up?

Jared’s head was filled with a bunch of ridiculous thoughts.

“I have a solution for the poison in Ashlyn’s body.”

The man suddenly voiced out. His cold voice pulled Jared out of his thoughts.

He was a little confused when he heard that.

Solution? Am I hearing it right? Lucas has a solution?
