After breakfast, Serenity went to the hospital.
Selena had already made it very clear yesterday that her divorce from John was a matter private between the ex-couple. Furthermore, Serenity was now married to Gabriel. So even though Master Samson was not very pleasant to her, he was not as outwardly hostile toward her anymore.
In the afternoon, John came to the hospital to visit Master Samson. When the latter saw him, he snorted and said, “You are no longer the grandson-in-law of the Rivers family. What are you doing here?”
John knew Master Samson was unhappy about his divorce from Selena. However, if Serenity was not here, he would not have come either. “Since you’ve said so, I’ll be leaving.”
Master Samson’s face darkened. The elderly tended to put on airs, especially old-fashioned people like Master Samson so he did not expect John to not even entertain him.
Master Samson was so angry that he huffed and glared at John. “You must think you’re so great now that you’re the president of Grant Group. We must no longer be worthy of you. You’d better never have any contact with the Rivers family in the future!”
John’s face twisted slightly. But knowing how badly Master Samson and Benjamin treated Serenity, he did not want to be another reason for their behavior to worsen toward her. John was fine with cutting ties with the Rivers family, but not with Serenity.
He knew she would come to the hospital for Master Samson so he came over as well but the visit was just a pretext to see and spend more time with Serenity.
With so much tension in the air and afraid that Master Samson would get angry again, Helena quickly said, “Jinchen, if there’s nothing else, you can go back first.”
John glanced at Serenity who did not look too good – her delicate and pretty face was a little haggard. And despite the makeup, the dark circles under her eyelids were still visible.
“Mrs. Rivers, I’ll be leaving first, then,” said he as he looked at Helena Turner.
Helena nodded and looked at Serenity again who had been rather indifferent toward John the entire time. John felt slightly bitter about it.
The two people who were once close were now walking further away from each other.
John walked out of the ward but not without one last look at Serenity through the slowly closing gap through the door. She didn’t seem to be in good spirits today, looking very tired.
He met Selena at the entrance of the hospital. “Did you just get off work?” John greeted her in a calm voice.
He was right, she had come straight from the company after work so she was still wearing a work suit enveloped in her working woman aura. Her short chestnut hair was slightly upturned, making her look intellectually fashionable.
She nodded with a smile and struggled for a while before saying, “If you have time, go see Eva. She’s been clamoring for you all day. She’s still too young so you have to give her time to adapt.”
It had not been long since they had parted ways but since Eva was a toddler, it was normal for her to make a fuss about wanting him. It would take some time before she got used to the separation. He nodded. “I’ll visit her this weekend.”
“John.” Selena stopped him when she saw that he was about to leave.
He turned back to look at her, his eyes waiting for her to continue.
She was standing on the steps in her high heels, a meter away from him. At this height, she was at eye level with him.
She knew her next words would be cruel, but she had no choice but to remind him to stay away from Serenity if she had no intentions of divorcing Gabriel.
If those photos fell into Gabriel’s hands, Serene would not have a good life. As her sister, she just wanted Serenity to be happy..
