Chapter 3550



Holden said, "Kathryn, this is a small gift from me and your brothers. We're family, so of course, we had to visit you in the hospital. I'm getting older and not as strong as I used to be, and I've been in the hospital myself recently, so I can't take care of you. But your brothers are still young and can look after you. If you feel uncomfortable having them here, you can ask your sisters-in-law to come and stay with you. There's no need to rely on Mr. Fraser all the time-after all, he's still a stranger."

Holden stressed the word "stranger," reminding Kathryn to keep her distance from Pedro. The people at the hospital, unaware of the situation, probably thought Pedro was Kathryn's husband.

Holden didn't like Pedro. In fact, he despised the all-around assistant who was always by Clarissa's side. Don't be fooled by how friendly he seemed with Mr. Dunn, sometimes even acting like they were brothers. The truth was, Holden hated Mr. Dunn deeply.

Mr. Dunn was more respected by Clarissa than her own husband and was trusted with everything. Clarissa confided in him, while she kept many things secret from Holden. He only knew what Clarissa wanted him to know, and nothing more.

Holden could see the affection in Pedro's eyes when he looked at Kathryn, and he didn't want anything to develop between them. To him, Pedro was just a servant to Kathryn.

Marco added, “Yes, Kathryn, your sisters-in-law can take care of you. They can chat with you and keep you company. Mr. Fraser is busy, so we shouldn't burden him with this."

Clarissa had suddenly ordered Holden and her sons to replace Pedro and not let him stay with Kathryn. They were her family, and they should be the ones taking care of her in the hospital.

Clarissa had scolded them, accusing them of lacking any father-daughter or sibling bonds. Kathryn had been in the hospital for days, and they had only visited once or twice, and that too only when she asked them to.

The three brothers especially got a harsh scolding.

Clarissa had returned to work at the company, but she was in a terrible mood. Her face was tense every day, as if someone owed her a fortune. The employees at Farrell Group had been on edge for the past few days.

When the weekend finally arrived, Clarissa announced that everyone had to work overtime with no days off this week.

Marco's face twitched as he remembered the scolding he had received from Clarissa in her office earlier that day.

She had berated him for not caring about Kathryn and lacking any brotherly affection. She even warned him that his cold-heartedness would come back to haunt him in the future.
