Chapter 624 - 623: Only Hope Brings Disappointment
If a person has no hope from the start, there will be no disappointment.
After having hope, only then will one become disheartened in repeated disappointment and give up on oneself.
Upon waking, Serena Sullivan adjusted her heartbeat, even though her legs still lacked any sensation. She was prepared to spend her life in a wheelchair.
She wanted to cherish each day and live it well.
"Really?" He chuckled, "Your legs still have no sensation?"
"How about this, let the nurse take you for a check-up later."
"I had a full body check-up yesterday." Yet another check-up, and Serena was inwardly resistant.
"Not standing up isn’t a big deal," she said, the smile on her lips fading, "I’m used to it."
Saying she’s used to it, Serena placed her hands lightly rubbing on her legs.
She hadn’t been able to stand for four years, and she always hoped they would regain sensation someday.
Observing the faint smile on Serena’s face, he smiled along and turned to look around the hospital room. Only a female bodyguard was present, with those in charge absent, so he decided to return later.
After he left, First Mrs. Sterling and her family arrived shortly.
The lady brought freshly made meat buns and all sorts of soups.
The aroma of the delicious food was alluring, making Nancy drool. First Mrs. Sterling liked this cute and silly little girl, and had prepared her portion.
She placed the rest on the table and accompanied Serena in eating.
James Sterling and First Mrs. Sterling knew the matter was caused by Young Master Kane, and were so angry they couldn’t sleep well the whole night.
"The Kane Family is getting more and more excessive," James remarked bluntly. In the past, regardless of his hatred for the Kane Family, it wasn’t as intense.
"So what if they’re excessive! The Sterling Corporation is still under their control."
It’s because the Kane Family controls the shares of The Sterling Corporation that they dare to be so arrogant. In essence, the Kane Family is smart; they know how to leech off The Sterling Family.
"Simon Sterling has his reasons for acting this way," James quickly defended Simon. He acknowledged Serena as his daughter, not to sever the father-daughter relationship between her and Simon.
"Serena, he has his difficulties. Regarding this matter, he definitely won’t let it go like this."
James continued to defend Simon.
"Truly letting it go means Serena shouldn’t recognize him in this lifetime."
First Mrs. Sterling’s temper wasn’t as good as James’s. She knew the twenty-year-old story, feeling sorry for Simon despite his helplessness, but blamed him for being liked by a woman like June Kane, and she was also mad at Claire Sullivan for targeting June so harshly.
"He should let it go."
Serena smiled faintly, interjecting into First Mrs. Sterling’s words.
First Mrs. Sterling was taken aback, and James was puzzled. Beside them, Eldest Master Sterling and Second Master Sterling exchanged glances, borne out by years in the business world, understanding Serena’s meaning.
"Grandfather and Second Uncle have the same intention."
"Nancy, whatever you do, Big Brother and Second Brother stand by your side."
During this incident, Wayne Jennings almost claimed Serena’s life. Regardless of Wayne’s motives at the time, Ethan Grant and Wyatt Sterling retaliated, marking the official commencement of the "battle" between the Kane Family and The Sterling Family.
Wayne Jennings intentionally crashed his car into Serena, resulting in his arrest by the police, and further investigation would likely be settled with money by the Kane Family.
The best approach is to endure temporarily, letting the Kane Family relax their vigilance.
"Thank you, brothers." Receiving support from her family, Serena smiled.
With their presence, she truly felt her hardships weren’t burdensome.
"Serena, no matter what changes lie ahead, you’re always our beloved daughter!"
First Mrs. Sterling held Serena’s hand tightly, softening her voice in assurance.
