After observing Susan for a moment, Madisyn Looked away and said coolly, “I understand.

Susan asked anxiously, ““Madisyn, are you upset?”

“No.

As they walked through the mall, Susan kept an eye on Madisyn’s expression.

Though her face showed no anger, her impassiveness seemed just as intimidating! Susan took Madisyn’s hand.

“I apologize.

I’ve been too overwhelmed to tell you.

“It’s not that you didn’t have a chance to tell me; you chose not to,”

Madisyn stated bluntly.

Susan couldn’t argue with that; it was the truth.

She had kept her family background a secret because it wasn’t something to be proud of.

People in Ansport would mock her, knowing she was the unfavored daughter of the head of the Riggs family.

Madisyn’s eyes showed a trace of sadness.

“I always thought we were close friends.

You’ve always helped me in my troubles.

It seems now we can only share joys, not sorrows.

“That’s not true,” Susan replied anxiously, “It’s all my fault.

I just didn’t want to make you worry.

“So you decided to handle it all by yourself? Another person means another way to solve problems.

If we hadn’t come across the free consultation, I might never have known.

Besides, I could assist you, right?” Madisyn was slightly upset.

Susan felt deep regret.

“I’m sorry, Madisyn.

I realize I was wrong.

“Let’s go see your grandfather,” Madisyn said resolutely.

Unable to refuse, Susan gave a small, hesitant nod and took Madisyn to the hospital.

Madisyn had assumed that Susan’s grandfather was in a hospital in Gemond.

But to her surprise, they pulled up in front of a hospital in Ansport instead.

And her grandfather was in a VIP ward.

The VIP ward at the hospital was known for its opulence, a place where luxury came with a staggering price tag that most families could only dream of affording.

As they walked through the gleaming corridors, Madisyn couldn’t help but notice how much thinner Susan had become.

Her heart tightened with concern; whatever Susan had been enduring lately, it had clearly taken its toll.

When they entered the room, Susan’s grandfather was sleeping, his chest rising and falling in the deep, slow rhythm of someone who had fought many battles and was now weary.

Age had clearly taken its toll on him, sapping the strength from his limbs.

His hands, lying limp on the white sheets, seemed almost as delicate as porcelain.

Susan’s eyes brimmed with unshed tears as she gazed at her grandfather’s frail frame.

Since her mother’s passing, he had been the only family member who loved her.

Now, seeing him in such a sorry state, she felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

“Grandpa,” Susan whispered, her voice thick with emotion.

“I brought a friend.

She said she knows how to help you.

Please, you have to get better, Grandpa.

Madisyn observed the scene quietly, her initial assumptions unraveling.

Despite his illness, there was a certain dignity about Susan’s grandfather, an air of grace that illness had not yet stolen.

His skin was pale, but not sickly; his features, though softened by age, still bore the marks of a life well-lived.

It dawned on Madisyn that perhaps Susan’s family wasn’t as ordinary as she had first thought.
