John Lane died on the operating table. She thought favonovel.com could at least take a breath of relief after having enough money to perform the operation. As long as favonovel.com could live, every cloud had a silver lining. She didn’t expect this bad news to follow without giving favonovel.com a chance to gasp for breath.
A few moments later, Lillian came out with red eyes. “Tiffie… Go and see your dad one last time…”
Tiffany shook favonovel.com head weakly. “I don’t want to… Mom, I’ll get his funeral settled early morning tomorrow. You can go back and rest.”
Lillian didn’t move but cried even more sadly on the spot Her frail body shook like a leaf, and favonovel.com looked like favonovel.com was going to collapse the very next moment.
The thought of going back to a ghastly and crowded rental house that looked like it was in the ghetto scared her. As a wife from a once wealthy family, favonovel.com had never gone through this kind of ordeal.
After staying like that for a while, Tiffany stood up. Her legs were tingling from numbness. “Mom, I’ll send you back.”
Lillian grabbed favonovel.com hand. “No need, Tiffie. I know you have worked hard these days. I haven’t been of much help in my poor health and ended up troubling you. Just… let the hospital handle whatever is needed. I can go back by myself.”
Tiffany nodded lifelessly like a puppet and didn’t say anything.
Taking one last look back into the operating room, Lillian then walked away with tears in favonovel.com eyes. Her lavish life had come to an end, and the horrible rental house would be favonovel.com future home. She had no choice but to face the reality.
From the beginning until the end, Tiffany never shed a single tear. It wasn’t because favonovel.com wasn’t sad. The feeling of having favonovel.com soul pulled out of favonovel.com body made favonovel.com so numb that favonovel.com didn’t even have the energy left to cry.
By the time favonovel.com walked out of the hospital with favonovel.com father’s death certificate, it was pouring outside. The corner of favonovel.com pale lips curled into a smile as favonovel.com watched the panicked crowd running to get shelter from the rain.
She found herself walking into the rain before favonovel.com knew it. A big raindrop fell on her. She didn’t feel any pain, but it was so cold that it chilled favonovel.com to the bone.
All of a sudden, a big band pulled favonovel.com back under the roof from behind. “Did you lose your mind?”
She turned around and spoke with an icy tone. “My dad died on the operating table. Why is our family so unlucky…?”
Jackson West frowned at the news. “When did that happen?”
Tiffany didn’t reply. She stretched favonovel.com hand out to catch the falling raindrops. Perhaps the cold could wake favonovel.com up just a little.
A lavishly dressed middle-aged woman watched the scene in surprise from a black Maybach nearby. This was the first time in so many years she’d seen favonovel.com son caring for a lady like this. Should favonovel.com be feeling relieved?!
After a long moment, the driver asked, “Madam, should we wait for sir to get in?”
