Chapter 324
David looked at Kaylee and was reminded of the photo album he flipped through a few days ago. “I knew you looked familiar! You’re the little girl from the Reed family, right? We’re all family here, what a coincidence to meet today!”
Country folks are mostly simple and straightforward, and David is no exception. Given his age, he wasn’t going to squabble with a young girl. Knowing she was Liam’s sister, he was even more friendly.
Kaylee sneered, “Who’s family with you guys? Celeste really treats our home like a charity, huh? Helping the Campbell family secretly isn’t enough, now she brings people home! You Campbells really have no shame, do you?”
David’s face immediately changed, looking unhappy. He put down his hoe and pointed at Kaylee, “Young lady, why are you being so rude?”
“Are you afraid of talking about your dirty deeds, Campbells? Trying to be thieves in your old age, huh? How’s living in a fancy house compared to the countryside? All of you are like leeches!”
David turned pale with anger, his voice trembling, “You better explain yourself, what’s wrong with country folks? How are we not good enough? We work hard and grow our own food. Everything you wear and eat is produced by working–class people! Why are you being so sharp–tongued and cutting at such a young age?”
“Did I say anything wrong? Just look at you Campbells. I don’t know what my mom was thinking, still wanting me to bring medicine to Celeste. Good thing she can’t get pregnant. If she did, it would be disgusting if the child turned out to be like the Campbells.”
With that, Kaylee took her suitcase and headed for the house.
David was livid, his face turned pale. He stepped forward and grabbed Kaylee’s wrist, “Get out! Take your things and leave here!”
He yanked her back, and Kaylee stumbled. The suitcase slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. The bottles inside shattered, and the medicine spilled all over the floor.
Almost instantly, Kaylee’s face grew dark. She pushed David away, “You old man! Don’t you dare touch me with your disgusting hands!”
David, weakened by age, couldn’t withstand the force of the push from Kaylee, causing him to collapse onto the ground. Gasping in pain, his face contorted with agony as he lay there trembling, desperately attempting to rise to his feet.
Kaylee was taken aback, “Get up, old man! Stop pretending! I didn’t even use any strength.”
As David’s trembling grew worse and his face turned blue, Kaylee began to panic.
Their housemaid heard the commotion and came running. Seeing David in this state, she hurriedly called for an ambulance.
Celeste received the call on the film set. She was told David had an accident, and she immediately rushed to the hospital after asking for leave.
At the hospital, David was still in surgery, with only the housemaid waiting outside.
Thinking his previous illness had relapsed, Celeste anxiously asked, “What happened? Wasn’t Grandpa David fine this morning? He even took his medicine on time. Why did he suddenly have to be hospitalized?”
“The old man had a fall. I don’t know where he hit himself, but he couldn’t get up.”
Celeste frowned, “How did he fall?”
