Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) -
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 333
Chapter 333
Arthur was very sharp. He had lived for many years, and he knew very well what everyone, including Aurora, was thinking.
He was going to turn ninety soon and had lived longer than most people. Some of his children even passed away before him. He only had one child left, and he had also been bedridden
himself.
He drifted apart from his grandchildren after his children passed away too. He had been living alone for so many years in his old home, and his family would rarely pay him a visit. However, all his good and dutiful family members returned to take care of him after he received the compensation.
He knew very well that those people were only doing that for the money he had.
He was already so old. He started not taking materialistic things like money seriously long ago. He also knew that nobody would visit him anymore if he were to divide the money between those people. He started to become a burden as he grew older.
So, he told them he wanted to come to Rivera when he still had the money. All of them obeyed him because he had what they wanted.
He watched the television with other patients in the hospital. He saw Stella's face on the screen while they talked about the plot, and he suddenly wanted to meet his great-granddaughter, whom he had not met for a long time.
Stella was different from those people. She would stop him from eating confectionaries, smoking, and drinking. She would also be worried for him and switch on the heater, in case he woke up in the middle of the night.
Stella had never changed. She would always put the feelings of others before her own.
She was that sensible.
Stella held her tears back and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll make the Kane family apologize to you."
Arthur waved his hand. "She's just an insolent brat. You can't expect anything good from her." Then, he grabbed Stella's hand and put the bankbook into her hand. "Hide it well. Don't let your uncles and aunts see it."
At the window to the room, Lydia stood on tiptoe, unable to resist looking inside.
However, because the curtain was blocking her view, she could not exactly see what was happening inside.
Elaine was very worried too. However, her dignity stopped her from looking inside, so she
asked Albert instead.
"Bro, what did the doctor say? Is grandpa going to be okay?"
Albert frowned and said, "It's a hard fall, and he'll probably be bedridden for some time."
Elaine furrowed her brows. "How long is some time?"
"It depends."
Lydia immediately turned around after hearing that. "I told you this hospital sucks. Just look. The doctors can't even give us a definite answer. What does "it depends" even mean? Are we just going to let grandpa stay in the hospital until the day he feels better? Who's going to pay for the medical bill?"
Everyone looked at each other, but none of them said a thing.
They were not very close to begin with, since there was a generation gap between them. There was only one reason why they were there, and every single one of them knew exactly what that was. They could buy something to eat and drink to make Arthur happy, but none of them were actually willing to spend money on him.
It was very expensive to stay in the hospital, and it could cost up to a thousand in just a day. There might also be some additional fees and supplements that Arthur might need, so the total bill might turn out to be more than ten thousand.
Besides, they might not even get the money back. They did not know who would end up getting the money from Arthur.
Elaine spoke after noticing how everyone kept quiet. "Bro, all of us here would be responsible and do whatever we can to take care of grandpa if he was admitted because he was sick. However, he fell in Stella's house, so I guess somebody else should bear the consequences, right?"
Elaine added, "Grandpa wouldn't have ended up like this if they were more careful. What if grandpa had other complications because of this?"
