Chapter 344

Chapter 344 Never Learn a Lesson Early in the morning, Sean came to the hospital. He saw Kelly in the ward, looking after Lina, and annoyance flared in his eyes.

He stood at the entryway, refusing to go into the room. “If you like my grandmother that much, Miss Hagl, why don’t you take her to your place and care for her there?”

“Oh, what’s with you getting mad first thing in the morning? She’s just being nice. You’re busy as a bee, and I’m bored living in the hospital alone. It’s nice I get someone to talk with,” Lina chided.

He remained icy and silent.

“Kelly’s the most meticulous woman I’ve ever seen. She even got a chef to make breakfast, especially for me. Not everyone can do that,” she commented, looking at Kelly with affection.

Sean knew she was mocking Abigail on purpose again. “If you like her that much, treat her like your granddaughter. I’m going on a business trip for two weeks. I’ll tell the doctors about it. You rest up. Call Grandpa if you need anything,” he stated calmly and left. He seldom got in touch with Lina anyway, and even if Kelly liked to stay with her, he would not do anything about it. She didn’t learn anything at all. Even after Joan played her like a fiddle, she still doesn’t know how to be cautious Kelly’s a more cunning woman than Joan; she’s a viper. There’s nothing good about staying in touch with her.

Sean knew Lina would never listen to him until she got in trouble. Even if they were to argue, she would just use her heart condition to bully him into silence. As such, all he could do was stay away and talk as little as possible to her.

The moment he turned around, a disgruntled Lina complained, “I got kidnapped and fell sick, yet you’re going on a business trip?

How heartless can you be?”

Kelly held Lina’s hand. Nicely, she said, “Old Mrs. Graham, it’s hard to hold up a company alone. He has to do this. You get to live in the best ward and have the best bodyguards because he worked hard for it.”

“I just want him to stay and get along with you,” said Lina.

Kelly smiled. “I’m not close to him. We shouldn’t force him to stay, or things will get awkward.

By then, Sean had already left. Xavien followed him and said quietly, “I’ve told Josh about Kelly’s case. She’s the one who hijacked the network. Probably wanted to use this case to get close to your family.”

Sean nodded. “Let her get close to Grandma. I’d like to see what she’s up to.” He did not mind doing to Kelly what he did to Joan.

Once he was gone, Lina held Kelly’s hand. “If you didn’t do it for him, why did you come to care for me? Do you like him?”

1/2 Kelly smiled but said nothing.

Lina quickly grinned as well. “I knew it. You don’t have to feel embarrassed. He’s always cold and distant, but you’re a good lady.

Take it slowly, and he’ll see the good in you.”

“I don’t mean anything. This is all because of Abigail. There’s a misunderstanding between us, so I want to know Mr. Graham and see if he can clear things up between me and her,” said Kelly softly.

The mention of Abigail made Lina’s face fall. “What misunderstanding do you have? She’s a bad person anyway. Don’t get anywhere near her.”

Kelly put on a look of surprise but quickly defended Abigail. “It’s not like that. You misunderstood her, too. She’s a good person.

Made a lot of designs people loved. I adore her.”

Lina wanted to tell her that she had stayed in touch with Abigail for three years, so she knew what she was talking about.

However, Kelly came from a great family, so she did not want her to know Sean was divorced for fear of scaring this lady before the relationship even began. Not to mention, she was doing this for Abigail.

“So what if she makes great designs? If she’s a bad person inside, she’s nothing,” Lina said with scorn, chortling.

Kelly looked at her for a while and asked, “Why do you hate her that much, Old Mrs. Graham? I think she gets along with Mr.

Graham quite well, and he takes care of her. I thought you didn’t hate her.”

“This is a long story. Just know that she owes all her success to Sean. She dumped him like trash after using him. But it’s alright.

I don’t want a barren woman like her to have eyes for him. I’m not going to tolerate her.” The mention of Abigail angered her.

Kelly listened quietly and smiled awkwardly. “I don’t know much, so I’ll refrain from commenting.”

That made Lina sheepish as she thought about something. She’s a gentle, reasonable woman who came from the capital. And from a great family, too. I have to seize this chance. Joan is nothing compared to her.

She quickly held Kelly’s hand and defended herself. “Oh, it’s just a grudge between families. I’m not lying to you. I experienced it first-hand. My family is the best one in this city. There’s no reason for me to get angry at an orphan who has nothing unless she went too far, that is.”

Kelly nodded. “Lina, you and Abigail both are quirky. You’re straightforward, while Abigail’s stubborn. She won’t change her mind once it is set, no matter what you tell her. I wouldn’t have tried to clear the misunderstanding through Mr. Graham anyway.”

Lina still looked disapproving. “No need for that. She’s not worth your time.”
