Chapter 1385


    Jenna said nothing; Hansen kept quiet too. Since Marissa refused to listen, he simply led Jenna out


    of her room. Marissa was so furious that her whole body was trembling as she scolded Jenna.


    Hansen did not like Marissa insulting his wife, so he stopped in his tracks, but Jenna immediately


    tugged him, telling him to let it go. However, Marissa''s anger only grew. If it weren''t for Jenna, none


    of it all would''ve happened.


    "No need to shed crocodile tears. I''m not dead yet; drop the act."


    Marissa roared at Jenna like a madman, and it pained Hansen to see his mother behave so.


    "It breaks my heart to call you my mother."


    With that, Hansen left with Jenna with a grim face. Jenna tried hard to pull him back, but she


    couldn''t stop him at all.


    After leaving Ink Garden, Jenna tried to talk some sense into Hansen. However, Hansen''s temper


    only grew with age. Ignoring her, he booked their flight to Evend and went straight.


    Jenna sighed, "Do you have to do this?"


    Jenna was still nagging at Hansen even when they arrived at the airport. Hansen and Marissa were


    mother and son, after all.


    Hansen leaned against the side and called his father as they waited for their flight.


    The call went through, but he hung up immediately, not saying anything.


    Trevor was silent for a while before he put his phone down. After some thought, he called a servant,


    "Call my wife and tell her I''m ill."


    Trevor''s words got the servant silent.


    The servant looked at the man who was as tough as old boots and baffled at the fact that he was ill.


    Trevor got up and went upstairs, took a few changes of clothes, and went straight to get himself


    admitted into the hospital.


    Marissa''s heart skipped a beat when she received the call, then fainted. It wasn''t until five in the


    afternoon when she regained consciousness. As she was still feeling dizzy, Ste stayed by her and


    took care of her.


    "Grandma Marissa."


    Seeing that Marissa had woken up, Ste hurried to inquire about her well-being. However, Marissa


    was upied with the thought of Trevor being admitted to the hospital. After feeling distressed for


    some time, she finally got up and made a call home.


    As soon as a servant answered the phone, Marissa immediately asked, "Where''s my husband?"


    She tremored as she spoke. Immediately, the servant said, "He went to the hospital."


    "Why did he go to the hospital? Wasn''t he doing just fine? What happened?" Not only did she sound


    shaky, but even her arm was trembling a little.


    "We don''t know either; just that Old Master Richards calmly packed some clothes and told us he


    was going to the hospital. He has already admitted himself there."


    The servant''s words got Marrisa on tenterhooks. What illness was it that he could be so calm?


    Marissa closed her eyes. Ste called her several times, but she seemed to have not heard it and


    kept silent.


    "Ste, I have to go back to A City. The servants here can take care of you."


    Marissa got out of bed, wiped her tears, and packed some clothes, silent the entire time. After she


    got to the airport, she flew straight back to A city that day.


    As Marissa was leaving, Ste asked to follow her, but Marissa shook her head. "No, I can''t take


    care of you."


    Marissa left after that, leaving Ste on her own.


    Marissa cried the entire flight. With no one beside her, she felt exceptionally lonely and miserable.


    After getting off the ne, she took a taxi and went straight to the hospital.


    When Marissa arrived, Trevor was doing checkups. After fussing all day, he was worn out. It was


    common knowledge that being admitted to the hospital was no walk in the park, even for a healthy


    person.


    When she got to him, Trevor''s face was ghastly, looking like he was on the verge of death as hey


    in bed. The Richards Family''s doctor was advising him then, "I told you to watch your health and


    what you eat, didn''t I? Look what happens when you don''t believe me. This illness..."


    Marissa pushed the door open and saw that Trevor''s eyes were bloodshot. They were an old


    married couple, after all. How could she not feel distressed? Especially after she heard what the


    doctor said.


    "He''s already like this; would reprimanding him do him any good? Illness and death are part of life.


    Are you making him upset on purpose?" Marissa looked at the doctor unhappily. The doctor was


    surprised to see Marissa, "You''re back, Mrs. Richards."


    "Hmph. If I don''t, you would''ve bullied him even more." After ordering the people to put down her


    luggage and paying them, she went to Trevor''s side. "What happened to you?"


    Trevor said, "I''m fine; just some ailments. Why are you here?"


    Marissa held Trevor''s hand. "How could you be fine when you look like this?"


    "It''s nothing. Really." Seeing how tired he was, she couldn''t rest assured.


    "Tell me what happened to him." She couldn''t help feeling sad at the thought that there was no one


    by their side when the two of them were ill; she couldn''t care less about their children anymore.


    The doctor answered truthfully, "He''s just... a little malnourished."


    Trevor had been eating well, but there were different reasons for malnutrition. One of them was that


    the body couldn''t absorb the nutrition as one grew much older.


    It was the case for Trevor.


    However, Marissa did not think so. There was no way she would believe Trevor was malnourished.


    A member of the Richards family malnourished? What a joke.


    "Don''t think you can lie to me. Him, malnourished?" Marissa raised her voice. Trevor genuinely


    found her loud; there was a reason why he hadn''t gone to see her for so long.


    He felt at peace ever since he left her. How great it was when no one was there to nag at him for


    whatever he did.


    But their son had also given up on her, so he could only have here back.


    Trevor reminisced what Marissa was like when she was young, fiery, and as capable as men.


    It was a pity that she changed as she aged. It wasn''t that she had turned awful but unreasonable.


    Trevor was well aware that Marissa had be so because everyone in the family put her first.


    Any slight dissatisfaction would make her unhappy.


    She wasn''t any different from a child. Spoiled!


    "Marissa dear." Trevor was used to calling her so. Although they were old, he felt that nothing had


    changed even after a few decades together.


    It was his business to address her how he pleased; it had nothing to do with anyone.


    Not his son nor his grandson could tell him otherwise.


    When Trevor called out, Marissa immediately became quiet. Even though she was angry, she


    wouldn''tsh out at Trevor.

    She turned to look at him and asked, "What''s wrong? Are you not feeling well? I''ll contact world-


    renowned leading experts right away. I''ll get them to check on you; you''ll be fine."


    He shook his head. "It''s noisy here. Tell them to leave; I want to be alone with you."


    Blushing, it was music to her ears.


    She then ordered everyone out. Resigned as they left, it was apparent Marissa was the one making


    a fuss.


    However, she had indeed quieted down after everyone left. She sat by Trevor''s side as she held his


    hand and asked many questions.


    Trevor was truly exhausted, and he didn''t want to talk too much with Marissa. If he spoke, she


    wouldn''t stop, so knowingly, he kept quiet.


    He would only shake his head at her questions, not answering. Thinking he was chronically ill, she


    laid on his body and sobbed.
