Chapter 673 Didn’t Intend to Infuriate Him

“My father wasn’t a deadbeat! He wanted to work hard to prove himself, but he was murdered,” Caroline said, taking a deep breath.

“He died for his sins. She wouldn’t have died if he had agreed to divorce Ellie.” Grayson glared fiercely at Caroline.

Caroline retorted, “Have you ever considered that you might be the problem at this point?”

“Get Neil to come back! Grayson shouted emotionally.

Caroline firmly refused, “I can’t do it!”

“Get Neil to come back! I want my grandson back! The Xander Group needs him! I can’t lose the Xander family’s legacy like this!” Grayson’s eyes were bloodshot.

After he shouted, he held his chest and began coughing violently, gasping for breath with wide eyes, NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Stop pretending! No matter how hard you try to act, I won’t persuade Neil! Caroline glared at him resentfully.

“He–elp…”

Caroline realized that Grayson wasn’t pretending after he weakly called out for help. Her expression. changed, and she pressed the call bell.

Soon, doctors and nurses rushed into the room, sent Caroline out, and began emergency treatment,

Caroline stared at the closed door, her mind going blank. Her body shook nonstop as the scene before

her triggered a memory of Katie’s passing.

She felt that she had not said or done anything wrong and that he deserved what he got.

Nothing would have happened if not for him.

Caroline thought about how she didn’t cause his death, and after composing herself, she shakily called

Neil. He answered quickly, and Caroline said, “Neil…

Noticing Caroline’s strange tone, Nell asked anxiously, “What’s going on, Carol? I just arrived in Angelbay.

Where are you?”

Tears streamed down her face as she crouched and hugged her knees. “Something terrible has happened to him, Neil…”

Neil said, “Who?”

“Your grandfather. I didn’t say anything wrong, but I was only telling the truth,” Caroline cried in fear.

“Carol, don’t be scared. I’m coming now. Wait for me!” Neil reassured her.

Twenty minutes later, Neil rushed out of the elevator. He felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw

Caroline crouching and shaking.

He approached her, lowered himself, and held her cold hands, saying, “Carol?”

Caroline raised her head in a daze, and Neil noticed her swollen eyes. “What happened?” he asked.

Caroline explained the earlier incident in detail. Neil’s expression soured slightly, “Grandpa has… heart

failure, and he was recently diagnosed with asthma.”

Caroline’s eyes widened in shock, and her body continued to shake. “I didn’t mean to upset him…” She

broke down and cried again,

Neil hugged her and patted her back to comfort her. “It’s okay, Carol. You didn’t say or do anything wrong.

Grandpa is just…”

Neil swallowed and continued. “Everyone has to take responsibility for their mistakes.”

Caroline cried loudly as she buried herself in his arms. They stayed in silence until the door opened.

Neil turned to the doctor.

The doctor sighed, shook his head, and said, “Your grandfather can’t handle any more stress.”
