Chapter 69

Chapter 69 One Year At Most “Please tell me honestly how much time I still have.” Thinking about the scene just now, Kelvin had a hard-to-describe feeling inside him. He thought for a long while before answering, “One year at most.”

‘One year?’ Kisa laughed and sell on the bed with tears in her eyes. ‘What could I do in a year? Would it be enough to find out who hurt Grandma, or would it be enough to avenge the prison sentence and the murder of my son? I could not even get Howard’s role back, let alone these two things. At this moment, she found herself unable to do anything but wait for her final moment. She curled up in bed, letting the pain of her illness torment her tattered body.

She thought of her mother, the days when she and her mother depended on each other. They were poor at the time, but she had the world’s warmest love of her mother. Unlike now, she was all alone, dragging her sick body to suffer the cold of the world. How she wished she could turn back the time. The scene of her mother’s death was still vivid in her mind, and her mother’s last words were clearly ringing in her ears. “If you meet a man named Gilbert Kooper in your lifetime, you must love him and guard him with your life.” She never understood what her mother meant by these last words. Only much later did she understand that her mother was asking her to atone for her sins. But before her sins were atoned for, she was already wounded in love.

Two days later, snow fell from the sky. Taking advantage of the fact that Ariella had not yet returned, Kisa decided to visit Madalyn, Gilbert’s grandmother, who treated her the best in the world besides her mother. She just wanted to see the kind lady before she died.

Gilbert put his grandmother in a villa at the foot of the mountain and hired many servants so that his grandmother could recuperate in a quiet environment. He went to spend time with her almost every day, sometimes bringing Andrew and Ada with him. Kelvin also often went to check on Madalyn’s health.

Kisa got Madalyn’s address through Andrew. But when she arrived at the entrance of the villa, the bodyguards would not let her in.

“We are sorry, lady. No one except for George, Dr. Hoover, and Miss Case may enter. Unless with Mr. Kooper’s permission.”

‘Miss Case? Sharon? Heh! It seems that Sharon has a place in the heart of that man.’ But thinking about Sharon’s malicious look, she suddenly doubted what had happened back then.’ If Sara didn’t go into hiding on purpose, and she didn’t hurt Mrs. Kooper Sr., then Sharon would be the biggest suspect. After all, Sharon was the one who benefited the most from getting rid of her and Sara, wasn’t she?’ But these were only her guesses. If you wanted to find out the truth, she still had to collect concrete evidence. With the thought of her only having a year left to live, she became despondent.

“Even I can’t go in?” Andrew said, looking displeased.

One bodyguard hurriedly said respectfully, “Of course you can go in, but not this lady.”

“She is my aunt, my father’s best friend. She is accompanying me to see my great grandmother today.”

“But Mr. Kooper said that if there is no order from him Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t care. I’m just going to take her in today, and I will take the blame if anything happens. “Good thing Andrew came with her. At Andrew’s insistence, the bodyguards finally opened the door and let them in. Andrew led Kisa to a room on the second floor. “Ma’am, my great-grandmother is inside. Go ahead and see her.” Kisa nodded. “Don’t wander off. I will see your great-grandmother for just a while and take you back.”

“Okay. I will just play in the garden.” After Andrew went downstairs, Kisa stood outside the room for a moment before pushing the door open. As she walked in, she saw the skinny lady lying on the bed with tubes all over her body. Tears immediately fell down her face.

Madalyn was such a kind and elegant person, but now she was bedridden, and that saddened Kisa. She slowly walked to the bedside, covering her mouth and holding back her tears.

“She did not scheme against my grandson. She is my grandson’s fiancée. They are in love. If you denigrate my grandson’s wife again, I will not tolerate it again.” “Don’t you worry, Kisa. If Gilbert doesn’t treat you well, I will spank him myself.” “You must take good care of yourself, Kisa. I can’t wait to have a great-grandson.” All the good Madalyn had shown her came back to her, making her sob uncontrollably. She gripped Madalyn’s hand and called out, “Mrs. Kooper Sr., wake up. It is me, Kisa. Can you open your eyes and look at me?” She cried and crouched beside the bed. “Wake up. Wake up and tell me what happened that day. What did you want to ask me?” But as soon as Kisa’s cries subsided, the instrument next to her suddenly buzzed with a nerve-racking sound.
