Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Please Have a Child

Bella Thompson disdainfully said, “Let her be smug for a while. There will be a time when she cries. We will return, and nobody can stop us. Let’s wait and see!”

“How is grandpa’s injury?”

The tone in Bella Thompson’s voice was genuinely serious, “Matthew, you go to sleep first, you don’t have to worry about anything. Your grandpa has already had his surgery and should be fine. With me and your uncle to help you, don’t get your hands dirty. Regardless of how wicked the enemy, your uncle and I will take care of it.”

Matthew felt that his mother was hiding something from him.

Contemplating for a moment, Matthew still didn’t ask.

Thinking of his and his mother’s circumstances, as well as the troubles of Thompson Family, Matthew reminded himself not to meddle in affairs. Perhaps it was retribution, something his grandfather brought upon himself.

Once her son was settled, Bella Thompson only left the night light on, and then left the room.

Returning to Serene City and dealing with the bullying that came along with it, made Bella Thompson’s resolve even stronger, promising herself not to falter.

Breaking off completely, that’s her hard and fast rule; not letting anything hinder her anymore, success is within reach.

…

The next morning, Bella Thompson and Matthew returned to their countryside villa.

They didn’t make a fuss or dragged things out, they left swiftly and cleanly. Suddenly, Michael Marshall was engulfed in a sense of loss, feeling inexplicably unsettled.

They were all family, how did things end up like this?

They were all family, why couldn’t they just get along?

Michael Marshall was at a loss. He hated these internal feuds, and he felt an inexplicable downcast.

Daniel Marshall and his father-in-law had both returned to the Marshall Corporation to handle business affairs, Olivia Jenkins stayed in grandfather’s special hospital room, working and taking care of him at the same time.

Suddenly, the old man called for Olivia Jenkins.

Immediately, Olivia Jenkins went over, holding her grandfather’s hand and asked worriedly, “Grandpa, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable? Should we call the doctor?”

The old man gently waved his other hand. His clear gaze firmly fixed on Olivia Jenkins, “I’m afraid I won’t remember anything. I have a very important request for you. You must have a child with Daniel. Without a child, it’s not secure, no matter how strong the love.

Look at Michael Marshall and Bella Thompson. Because they have Matthew, they can’t break off completely. I don’t know how much time I have left before I leave, but I would really like to see my great-grandchild. I can tell, Daniel is serious about you, he really likes you. I hope you take good care of him.”

It took all the old man’s strength to hold Olivia Jenkins’s hand, his eyes full of hope and expectation.

Although the old man’s voice was faint, his breath weak, and he talked very slowly, Olivia Jenkins patiently listened to his words.

Of course, Olivia Jenkins understood the old man’s heartfelt plea.

However, Olivia Jenkins still hesitated, her heart in turmoil and her brows furrowed.

Seeing Olivia Jenkins’s indecisiveness, the old man continued in a soft voice, seeming to have exhausted all his energy, “Even if… I am begging you… Your grandmother’s shares must never fall into someone else’s hands, not even your father-in-law’s.

In your and the child’s possession, they belong to Daniel. Daniel’s future is difficult; they are all against him. I hope you can help him, bear some of it for him. The Marshall family is in discord, everyone has a hidden agenda, it’s a swirling vortex of political schemes, you have to be careful.”

Olivia Jenkins bit her lower lip and spoke softly, “Grandpa, you will surely get better, I believe in Daniel’s capabilities.”

The old man’s hand trembled uncontrollably from the agitation, “Olivia, you must promise me, the waters in the Marshall family run deep, you might not see it clearly yet, but I believe you can, and won’t disappoint me.”
