Laura thought, “Hand Bert the worst? How could Grandpa actually pick him?”
She wanted to turn back, but she stopped herself
She knew that if she turned around, she might not be able to get a divorce.
She didn’t want to tie her happiness to Bert or the Higgins family any longer.
Laura tried to stay focused on her goal and kept walking, but her steps slowed.
Just as she was about to stop, she heard a shout from behind

Thanks to timely rescue efforts, the old man was out of danger.
The old man’s health is deteriorating and this incident has further damaged his foundation
The attending doctor carefully instructed. “When he wakes up, take good care of him. He must not be stimulated for at least six months, otherwise, he may be at risk of a
stroke at any time, and then…“.
He paused there.
But the three people waiting understood what he meant.
The second sister–in–law covered her chest, feeling a sense of dizness.
“No, absolutely not, we must take good care of him and prevent any stimulation, absolutely no simulation.….”
