Chapter 341


    They persuaded ra for a while before she agreed to be taken to the upscale private room across


    the hall.


    ra tossed and turned in the bed, struggling to find sleep, but eventually, her eyes grew heavy


    with fatigue.


    The following morning dawned.


    Eve, with Jay in tow, arrived at the hospital. Upon seeing a line of somber-d bodyguards standing


    outside the room, Jay stopped, fear gripping him. He grabbed hold of Eve’s arm. “You don’t think


    they’ll stop us from going in, do you?”


    Eve snorted with disdain. “I’m Casey’s mother. I’m here to see my son. What right do they have to


    stop me? If they do, I’ll just sit here and cry, and we’ll see who ends up being more embarrassed.”


    After saying that, she marched up to the door, with fire in her eyes. Just as she was about to enter,


    a bodyguard blocked her path. “Ma’am, you can’t go in,” he said firmly.


    Eve’s temper red. “My son is lying in there ill, and I’vee to see him. What gives you the right


    to keep me out?”


    The guard’s face remained impassive. “Sorry, but Mr. Hayes has given strict orders — no visitors.”


    He gestured politely, yet firmly, indicating she should move away.


    Jay, sensing the tension, quickly interjected with a grin, “Gents, my uncle is seriously ill, and my


    grandmom has been crying all night. Look, ra is in there. Maybe she could let us in?”

    The guards exchanged nces, and one of them said, “Wait here. I’ll ask Ms. ra.”


    Minutester, ra stepped out of the room. Her gaze instantly fell on Eve, whose face was twisted


    in anger, and Jay, who wore a sycophantic smile.


    She clenched her fists tightly and strode towards them, her face a mask of ice. “What are you doing


    here? Hoping my father’s lifees to a swift end?”


    Eve snapped. Her voice dripped with spite. “ra, your father is at death’s door, and I’m going to


    get awyer to draft his will. All his assets will go to me — everyst penny. You won’t get a share.”


    ra red at them, her voiceced with contempt. “I’m beginning to wonder if you’re even his


    mother. He’s lying there sick, but all you care about is his money, trying to snatch away his


    belongings. In your dreams!”


    “ra, mind yournguage! I’m your grandma. You’re showing no respect, and ording to our


    family rules, you should be severely punished.”


    ra’s eyes shed with even more anger. “You’re the one who’s disrespectful, not caring for your


    own son. You’re the one who should be punished. When my father wakes up, I will make sure you


    answer for how he ended up like this.”


    She turned to the bodyguards at the door. “Throw them out. And don’t let them set foot in here ever


    again.”


    “Understood.” Upon receiving the order, the bodyguards took hold of Eve, one on each side, and


    began to escort her out.


    Eve wasn’t one to leave without a fight. She erupted, hurling insults at ra, “Don’t get cocky,


    ra! Casey is my son, and you have no im over him. His fortune is mine, and you won’t get a


    dime.”


    Eve let loose with the nastiest of words. She called ra an unwanted bastard, and cursed her for


    being as lowly as her mom Victoria, living off men.


    Amidst her tirade, the elevator doors slid open, and out stepped theposed figure of Edwin.


    When he heared Eve’s vicious words, Edwin’s gentle demeanor instantly froze over. He leaned


    down slightly, peering over his silver-rimmed sses at Eve and said in a voice as cold as steel,


    “Insult her mother one more time, and see if I don’t break your grandson’s legs.”
