Chapter 3641


    Chapter 3641


    When William pushed the door open and entered, Camelia was getting up to pour a ss of warm


    water. As soon as she saw William, she was startled and even almost dropped the cup in her hand.


    “William, you…you’re here?” Camelia’s face showed surprise and joy. She quickly put down her cup


    and walked towards him, “Your grandfather just fell asleep. I’ll wake him up now. He’ll be very happy to


    see you.”


    William smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Camelia. I’ve missed him a lot.”


    Camelia led William to his grandfather’s room and gently woke him up. The old man’s eyes slowly


    opened, and when he saw William, his face lit up with a big smile.


    “William, my boy! You’ve finallye to visit me,” his grandfather eximed, his voice filled with joy.


    William walked over and hugged his grandfather tightly, “I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit sooner,


    Grandpa. How have you been?”


    They spent the rest of the afternoon catching up and reminiscing about old times. William was grateful


    for the opportunity to spend time with his beloved grandfather.


    “No need,” William said coldly. “Since he’s already asleep, let him sleep.”


    “Well… why don’t you sit down first and let me pour you a ss of water?” Camelia offered.


    “No, thank you,” William declined, and Grace remained standing without any intention of sitting down.


    “Then… would you like something to eat or drink? I can go to the convenience store on the first floor of


    the hospital and buy something for you. It’s still open,” Camelia suggested again.


    “I don’t want to eat or drink anything,” William said expressionlessly. “I came here today just to ask why


    you came to Emerald City. Isn’t it better to stay in Deer Capital? Or is it because you want something


    from me?”


    “We… we came to Emerald City just to see you. We really don’t have any other intentions. Your


    grandfather’s health is not good, so he misses you even more. The other day in Deer Capital, we


    happened to meet a ssmate of yours who said you were studying at Stanford University, so we


    came over,” Camelia exined. “We really didn’t expect that our visit would cause you so much


    trouble. Your grandfather mes himself for getting sick.”


    As Camelia spoke, she wept, no longer the haughty socialite she once was, but a helpless and


    heartbroken old woman.


    Yet William’s face remained unmoved. “Self-me? When Lily died and left me alone, did you feel any


    self-me when you


    knew I would be sent to a welfare home but refused toe get me? Did you feel any self-me


    then?”


    Camelia was at a loss for words. “Our living conditions were poor at the time, and we couldn’t afford to


    raise you, so…so we thought that going to a welfare home might be better for you.”


    “So you left me there without a second thought, without even bothering toe see me,” William said.


    Camelia’s face was filled with guilt. She opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, nothing came out.


    “Or is it because you’re afraid of being implicated? Afraid that even if you just nce at me, the Reed


    family wille after you? Afraid that the Reed family will retaliate against you? So you just decided to


    ignore me altogether.”


    As soon as these words were spoken, Camelia’s expression immediately turned guilty and uneasy.


    Even though she didn’t say anything, William knew that he had guessed correctly.


    He suddenly chuckled, “You were afraid before, but now you’re not. Is it because you know that my


    rtionship with the Reed family is good and that they won’t me you? If I hadn’t been adopted by


    the Reed family for a period of time, would you still dare to appear in front of me and admit that you’re


    my grandparents?”


    “I know we were wrong to you before. These years, we’ve been


    thinking about you and hoping that you’re doing well. We didn’t want to disturb you, but… your


    grandfather’s health has been declining these years, and he really wanted to see you, to talk to you for


    a bit,” Camelia murmured. “William, please forgive us. We’re not asking for anything, we just hope that


    you can forgive us so that we can die in peace as two old folks.”

    William’s face turned cold as he spoke to Grace, “What gives you the right to ask for my forgiveness?


    You never raised me for a day, let alone all these years, and now youe asking for my forgiveness.


    Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”
