    Chapter 33


    Cassandra was stunned. She lowered her head and stared at the ground, subconsciously thinking


    about the fact that Reba was still living in Dustmeadow Mansion.


    However, she did not tell Peter. She just shook her head and smiled faintly. “No.”


    She did not want Peter to worry about her. Although Peter was hospitalized this time to manipte


    Ondo, she would not make any bets with his body.


    “If he dares to bully you, just tell me, and I’ll deal with him.” Peter looked at Cassandra firmly, his eyes


    filled with


    the love of an elder.


    Cassandra smiled and said, “Okay. I know you treat me the best.”


    She raised her hands and massaged Peter’s leg. Without the slightest precaution, she covered her


    mouth and ran to the bathroom to vomit crazily. It was probably because she had not eaten breakfast,


    and the smell of disinfectant in the ward was strong.


    There was nothing to vomit without eating. However, Cassandra felt a lot morefortable after that.


    She washed her face and walked out.


    Peter stared at her and asked in a low voice, “Cassie, what’s wrong with you?”


    She shook her head calmly and said, “I’m fine, Grandpa Peter. I may have caught a cold. Don’t worry.”


    Peter did not say anything, but he looked at Cassie with cloudy yet energetic eyes. He asked, “Cassie,


    are you hiding something from me?”


    Cassandra was stunned.


    She had never been a good liar, especially in front of Peter who loved her unconditionally.


    She pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She replied, “Grandpa Peter, what are you talking about? How


    could I possibly keep something from you?”


    “Cassie, although we don’t spend much time together, I know you’re a good girl. You can tell me


    whatever you

    Chapter 33


    have in mind. I will always be on your side,” said Peter.


    “Grandpa Peter, I’m fine. Please don’t overthink,” said Cassandra.


    fast


    Cassandra’s insistence kept Peter silent. He just looked at her and said after a long time, “You said


    you’re not feeling well. Let’s get the doctor to take a look at you, since you’re at the hospital already.


    Otherwise, I’ll be worried about you.”

    After saying that, Peter was about to make a phone call. Cassandra hurriedly stopped him with


    embarrassment and hesitation on her face. “Grandpa Peter, I’m fine. I don’t need to see a doctor.


    Please stop asking me, okay?”


    “Cassie, don’t you believe me?” asked Peter.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    Cassandra fell silent.


    She sat on one side with her head down. Her face was a little pale and indifferent, and she enunciated


    word by word, “Grandpa Peter, I am pregnant.”


    With Cassandra’s answer, the air in the ward became quiet.


    Cassandra pursed her lips and continued, “I found out about the baby after I decided to divorce


    Ondo. I didn’t


    mean to hide it from you.”


    “Does he know?” Peter asked with a sullen face.


    “He doesn’t. I didn’t tell him. After all, we have decided to divorce.” Cassandra looked up at Peter and


    said, “Grandpa Peter, will you promise me not to tell Ondo? I don’t want to use a child to force a


    marriage. Neither of us will be happy that way. A child who grows up in an unhappy family will not be


    happy either. Grandpa Peter, I’m telling you because I hope you can support me and believe me. Now


    that I have told you the truth, I will definitely keep the baby. But I don’t want anyone to use my child to


    manipte something. You don’t want to


    see such a situation too, do you?”


    Peter was silent.


    Cassandra felt bad to see him like this, but she had no choice.


    She could lie to everyone, except Peter.


    Even if Peter did not agree to hide her pregnancy, she would not me him.

    However, she still hoped that Peter would agree.


    Peter said in a low voice, “Cassie, what did Ondo do to make you so sad that you are so determined


    to


    divorce?”


    Cassandra shook her head and said, “Nothing, Grandpa Peter. Don’t think like that.”


    “I know it even if you don’t tell me. Although I am old, I’m not blind.” Peter sighed. His eyes were dim,


    and his tone was heavy. “If he really divorced you, he would regret it. Reba is not a simple woman.


    If she could be half as good as you, I wouldn’t have stopped them from being together at the beginning.


    Forget it. He is unlucky to let go of a good wife like you, and he will regret it.”


    Peter said, “Cassie, I promise you that I won’t tell anyone. But you also have to promise me that you


    will tell me everything. As long as I’m still alive, I will not allow anyone to bully you.”


    Cassandra nodded violently, tears running down her cheeks. “Thank you, Grandpa Peter. Thank you


    very


    much.”


    She was not a person who liked to cry, but Peter’s unconditional goodwill made her lose control of her


    emotions.


    At this time, the door of the ward was opened from outside. Gabri and Frederick came back from


    buying breakfast. Ondo also walked in with them.


    He was here too.


    The three of them saw Cassandra sobbing with her head down and Peter’s kind and loving face.


    Gabri was the first to ask, “What’s going on?”


    Cassandra wiped her face and said with a smile, “Nothing. I just talked to Grandpa Peter about the


    past.”


    She calmly changed the subject, but Ondo’s eyes were fixed on her.


    His face was gentle, and his deep eyes were full of curiosity. ‘What was she crying for?‘ he wondered.


    Before he could think too much, Gabri had already asked Cassandra toe over and said,


    “Cassie,e


    here for breakfast.”


    Cassandra stood up and walked over. When she passed by Ondo, her eyes fell on him involuntarily.


    They lived under the same roof, but they came to the hospital separately.

    Cassandraughed at herself inwardly and thought, ‘Am I doing a bad job as a wife?‘


    Cassandra sat down and had breakfast. Peter nced out of the window as if he did not see Ondo.


    After Frederick coughed slightly, Ondo stepped forward.


    Ondo asked, “Grandpa, how do you feel?”


    “Hmph.” Peter red at him angrily and gave him a stern expression.


    Ondo said helplessly, “Grandpa, you’re just getting better. Please don’t get angry.”

    “If you want me not to be angry, just leave. I won’t be angry if I don’t see you.” Peter spoke. He looked


    indifferent and unhappy.


    Ondo was disgusted by his grandfather, and no one spoke up for him.


    Usually, Cassandra would help her. But today, her mouth was full with Gabri’s breakfast. Gabri


    said, “Don’t feel sorry for him. Only when he suffers will he know that he is wrong.”


    Cassandra said nothing more.


    After breakfast, Peter said, “You all go and do your work. Since he wants to apany me, then let his


    wish be


    fulfilled.”


    Cassandra looked at Peter, and Peter also looked at her, as if he was telling her, “Don’t worry. I won’t


    say anything.”


    Cassandra apanied Frederick and Gabri out of the ward. Then, she made an excuse, saying,


    “Frederick, Cassandra, you go back first. I’m going to see a friend.”


    “Okay, take care of yourself. We’re leaving now.” After Gabri and Frederick left, Cassandra turned to


    the obstetrics and gynecology department in another building.


    Only Ondo and Peter were left in the ward.


    Ondo knew that Peter made him stay, as he had something to tell him. So, he sat on a chair beside


    the hospital bed. Before he could speak, he heard Peter’s sharp voice. “Did I let you sit?”


    Ondo was slightly stunned and looked at Peter. He replied, “Grandpa, if you have something to say,


    just tell

    Chapter 33


    1. me. We are alone here.”


    “What? You won’t even listen to me now, will you? Fine. I’m lying in the hospital anyway. If you want to


    make my blood boil, the doctor can save me,” said Peter.


    “Okay, I will stand. Is this okay?” Ondo felt extremely helpless, but he had no choice. He could only


    do


    whatever Peter said.


    Ondo stood up and stared at Peter gently.


    Peter said indifferently, “I don’t expect you to be nice to Cassie. Since Cassie wants to stop living with


    you, I have no objection to your divorce. But, remember that I do it for Cassie instead of you.”


    Peter red at him with disgust in his eyes. He added, “It’s okay to divorce, but you have to promise


    me one


    request.”


    Knowing that Peter asked him to stay to talk about divorce, Ondo did not feel as happy as he


    imagined. Instead, he felt unspeakably upset.


    He frowned, looked at Peter indifferently, and asked, “What request do you have?”


    “Aren’t there many young talents around you? Choose one and introduce him to Cassie. It doesn’t


    matter whether his family is rich or not. The key is that he is kind, treats Cassie well, loves Cassie, and


    the most important thing is he is better than you,” said Peter.


    Peter spoke meticulously, without the slightest sign of anger or joke.


    Ondo was shocked. He asked, “Grandpa, you want me to introduce a boyfriend to Cassandra?”
