Helen did not dawdle and hurried to Henry’s room.
The room with antique furnishings was now swirling with the scent of medicine, with various emergency medical equipment brought into the room.
Two nurses were working busily, and Helen ran up to Henry to find him on his last legs.
“Grandpa…” she murmured miserably.
“Frank? I–Is that you?” Henry slowly opened his eyes, thinking she was Frank.
“It’s me, Helen,” Helen quickly said.
“Helen?” Henry appeared surprised and mustered his spirit to continue, “You’re here? Where’s Frank? Why isn’t he here with you…”
“Grandpa, we’re already divorced,” Helen said awkwardly. “He’s not coming.‘

Henry’s breathing turned ragged and his tone became urgent. “Helen… You shouldn’t have divorced Frank… You shouldn’t…”
His reaction shocked Helen. “Please, Grandfather. You’re scaring me… calm down!”
The nurse nearby sighed just then. “He’s been calling the name Frank Lawrence a thousand times over, unable to eat or sleep.”
Helen pursed her lips–she knew her grandfather could never accept her divorcing Frank.
And now, he was sick because of that!
Henry grasped Helen’s arm just then. “Helen… I want to see Frank one last time. There’s things I have to tell him… He just might take care of the family out of respect for me.

Helen got frustrated right then–she was already thoroughly disappointed with Frank after what had happened at Skymex Club.
“No, Grandfather,” she said. “We don’t need Frank–why do you keep obsessing over him?”
Henry said feebly nonetheless, “I’m begging you, please…”
“What are you saying?!” Helen was speechless–it was as if she was abusing him!
However, seeing his yearning gaze, she knew that he might die with regrets if she did not say yes, and so nodded since she had no choice. “Fine, I’ll call him.”
Frank was surprised to get a call from Helen, though he did not hesitate to rush over the instant he heard that Henry was sick.
After assuring Henry of that, Helen quietly left his room.
Seeing her, Gina promptly asked, “Helen, has your grandfather said anything?”
“Yeah, who’s getting this house?”
“And what about the rest of his belongings?”
Helen shot a cool glare at the relatives who kept trying to get a word in and snapped, “He wants to see Frank. He said nothing else.”
“What?!” Gina exclaimed. “Why would he want to see that lowlife?!”
“Yeah! He knows you’ve divorced him, doesn’t he?” Peter echoed, utterly upset at the mention of Frank.
“It’s Grandfather’s request. Why don’t you take it up with him?” Helen replied bluntly.
Gina frowned just then. “But I called Mr. Wesley. If Frank comes, he might get the wrong idea!” Helen did a double take and demanded, “Why did you tell Sean to come?!”
Gina did not think she did anything wrong, however. “What? The old man is sick–we should at least call him.”
“This is a family issue. Can’t you keep others out of this?” Helen retorted, feeling a pain right then.
