Chapter 402
As I reached out to knock on the car win
dow, a bodyguard swiftly blocked my motion.
âExcuse me, maâam! This is a private vehicle.â
âIâm aware.â
I pointed inside the car, âI know him.â
The passenger window rolled down, and another bodyguard spoke up, âSorry, but our boss doesnât know you.â
I retorted, âHe doesnât? How could that be!â
âThatâs correct. You must be mistaken!â
As those words were spoken, the driver, following orders, pressed the gas pedal, and the sleek black sedan slowly drove away.
The other cars quickly followed suit.
I stood there, dumbfounded, for a moment.
Gregory was refusing to meet meâ¦
Or was he not Gregory at all?
Suppressing the doubts in my heart, I turned back to Ramonaâs hospital room. to ask the nurse.
âWas that Mr. Ford visiting for the first time?â
âI donât think so, but it wasnât during my shift.â
The nurse replied, âHe seemed quite familiar with the hospital room and its setup when he came.â
I inquired, âHow did Grandma refer to him?â
âShe just held his hand, wouldnât let go. His people kept me outside, but
before I left, I heard her call him something⦠what was it? Something like. âFordâ?â the nurse recalled.
It was him.
Chapter 402,
He was alive! He hadnât died!
And he was right here in Vista Town.
I let out a deep sigh of relief, feeling relaxed for the first time in ages, my voice tinged with excitement, âOkay, I got it! Thank you!â
I
âMs. Webster, youâre friends, right?â
I chuckled and nodded, âYes, heâs a very important friend to me.â
The psychologist had told me that my depression had built up over time.
But Gregoryâs death was the straw that broke the camelâs back.
During those two years in France, I often wondered, if during the time when my relationship with Bryant Ferguson was fallingâapart, Gregory hadnât been there to catch those straws for meâ¦
Would I have been able to hang on?
The answer was probably no..
After waiting for my grandmother to wake up, I spent some time talking with
her.
She recognized me.
But her memory was jumbled.
She kept insisting on giving me spending money.
Refusing her made her angry. After visiting the nursing home, my bank account had swelled by seven figures.
I crouched beside her, chuckling, âGrandma, why give me so much money? Itâs hard to tell if Iâm visiting you or if youâre taking care of meâ¦â
âSilly girl, donât talk nonsense.â
Ramonaâs hair had turned much whiter, she gently stroked my head with a laugh, âWhatâs this money worth? When you grow up, the whole Myers family, itâs all going to be yours.â
I was surprised, laying my head on her lap, âBut Iâd rather have you healthy and well.â

To really have a family that would love and cherish meâ¦
It wasnât until Ramona fell asleep again that I finally got up to leave.
As I was leaving, I ran into Richard Myers, who was also visiting Ramona at the hospital.
I knew this man was my father.
But I just couldnât feel close to him.
He saw me and frowned, âWerenât you happily playing Mrs. Ferguson these past two years? What brings you to Vista Town all of a sudden?â
He made it sound like I was here to fight for an inheritance.
Well, in a way, I was.
The Myers family legacy belonged to me, down to the last penny, and it couldnât fall into Dorothy Myersâ hands.
I stared at him, counterâquestioning instead of answering, âCan I ask you something?â
âWhat?â
âSusan Myers isnât my biological mother, then who is?â
This question caught him completely off guard.
Richardâs demeanor flickered for a moment, and he responded
selfârighteously, âWhat nonsense are you spouting now? Trying to stir up trouble in the family again?â
