"What’s the matter?"
The old man habitually responded when he realized it was Serena Sullivan calling him from the bed, and he was stunned.
"I..."
The old man wanted to lie without missing a beat that his surna was not Sterling and that he had nothing to do with The Sterling Family.
"Thinking about it, there’s no way soone would save for no reason, let alone spend so much money to save !"
Serena lowered her voice and continued speaking; her guess was correct.
"Mm-hmm!"
Old Man Sterling felt embarrassed with his identity exposed, he lowered his head without making a sound.
"I know Dr. Mo from earlier."
Des Davis had ntioned to her that there was a doctor nad Mo in the Imperial Capital with exceptional skills, but this person treated patients based on his mood; even for the highest price, he might not treat.
Both Finn Chandler and Anna had gone to see him.
Being able to have him co must an having power and influence.
"This is a private manor; not even ordinary wealthy people can access it."
The Sterling Family is the top family in the Imperial Capital, with innurable assets.
An island, a manor, perhaps to them, is nothing.
"Spending so much thought and money to save , and this being the Imperial Capital, no matter how I think about it, I can only think of The Sterling Family."
She knew her own lineage, so Old Man Sterling must also know who she is.
"Yes!"
Exposed, Old Man Sterling could only admit it.
"I am Old Man Sterling, and also your grandfather."
Grandfather!
The title made Serena curl her lips in a mocking smile.
"It’s been over twenty years, and I’ve never known about having a father or grandfather, let alone about their illustrious history."
Serena couldn’t understand why they didn’t co twenty years ago, why, four years ago when she had the accident, they didn’t show up, and now they suddenly appeared one after another!
Was it because they knew she was dying at the ti?
"I’m sorry!"
The old man placed his hands on his cane, speaking with a sense of guilt and apology.
When he was younger, for the family’s benefit, he was ruthless, thinking it was normal.
These past few years, perhaps due to his advancing age, he regretted it.
"Why?"
Serena asked coldly again.
Old Man Sterling dared not et Serena’s gaze, finding it difficult to tell her that he initially wanted grandsons and, after getting grandsons, wanted a granddaughter.
Four years ago, he learned about Serena’s car accident and the loss of her legs, instructing Simon Sterling to go and see her.
Simon secretly went, and he thought Simon would bring her back to The Sterling Family.
Simon did not; Serena left Solaria not knowing where she went.
After Serena returned to Solaria, he casually reminded Simon to go to Solaria to see his daughter; Simon delayed repeatedly, only recently going over.
After waiting and waiting, they heard the news that Serena wouldn’t live long, and without ti to communicate with Simon, he directly went to the island to see.
In the end, he brought back a half-alive Serena.
For three months, he used his poor health as an excuse to spend most of his ti here with Serena.
Spending ti with her increasingly felt like a granddaughter was a treasure, while grandsons and others were insignificant!
"Is the old man acknowledging back into The Sterling Family?"
Serena asked with a cold voice.
The old man lifted his head, eting Serena’s eyes full of ridicule; ultimately feeling as if they owed too much to this child, facing her, he was deeply guilty and uneasy.
He gently sighed, "Serena, The Sterling Family holds a high position in the Imperial Capital, and you won’t suffer if you return."
"And about your legs!"
Dr. Mo didn’t guarantee that Serena was entirely healed, nor did he confirm whether her legs could be completely cured.
With The Sterling Family, even if Serena’s legs remained impaired, her life would be secure.
