Chapter 179
Chapter 179 He Never Truly Cared for Her
William wore a smile on his face, coaxing Carley, “It’s not a big deal, it’s just that Dale can’t pay
attention, so I thought of letting Walter take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Walter stood up and said to Carley, “Grandma, I’ll go check it out, I’ll be right back.”
At this, Carley could only nod, waving her hand at him, saying, “Go ahead.”
Walter nodded, his gaze lingering on me for a moment, seemingly suggesting that I should spend more
time talking with grandma. I didn’t look at him, my eyes were on the half apple in my hand, which tasted
a bit too sweet for my liking, I didn’t like it.
After Walter left, the ward became lively again. William was chatting with Carley, talking about the
interesting things he encountered abroad. Because it was all new to her. Carley was thoroughly
amused.
Emma sat to one side, she seemed to always speak very little, her beautiful eyes quietly watching
William, who was amusing Carley, full of love and admiration.
There was a moment when I was somewhat dazed. Thinking carefully, these two had been married for
many years. After all these years, Emma could still look at William with love and admiration in her eyes.
It seemed that she truly had him in her heart and eyes.
Probably noticing that I was looking at her, Emma moved her gaze away somewhat embarrassedly.
Seeing my face turn a bit red, she said to me, “Are you thirsty? I’ll pour you a ss of water.”

Seeing her get up to go to the living room outside the ward to pour water, I quickly got up and followed
her out. The ward where Carley stayed was a one-bedroom and one-living roomyout, with everything
in the living room.
I stopped Emma who was about to pour water, shaking my head and saying, “Sister-inw, I’m not
thirsty.
She nodded, her face still slightly flushed. It seemed she was embarrassed because I had seen her
acting infatuated with William.
Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help butugh and say, “I really envy your brother and sister-inw, they
are so in love.”
Emma coughed lightly, her voice soft and gentle, “You and Walter are quite good together, able to
spend a lot of time with each other. William is abroad all year round, we can only see each other for two
or three months a year.”
I smiled lightly, “Didn’t grandma say that once the project in Prylea is settled, my elder brother can
return home?”
Emma nodded, “Yes, but there are still many things to deal with in the project over there, I don’t know
when it will be settled.” After saying that, she slightly lowered her head and touched her t stomach, “I
hope the project over there can bepleted sooner, so he cane back earlier.”
Seeing her actions were overly affectionate, I couldn’t help but express my surprise, “Sister-inw, you
couldn’t be…”
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a hint of shyness as she said, “Hmm, but it hasn’t
been long. Keep it a secret for me for now. Once grandma recovers, I’ll tell everyone when we go to the
resort together.”
I nodded, couldn’t help but ask, “Was it from thest time big brother

returned to the country?”
She hummed in agreement, her face showing a bit of embarrassment as she said, “I forgot to use
contraception at the time, and I didn’t expect to get pregnant. I just found out myself. But it’s not bad,
our little girl is growing up, and having another baby in the house will make it lively. You should take
care of your health, and put in some effort with Walter, who knows, it might happen soon.”
I smiled lightly, not mentioning anything about Walter and me, and shifted the conversation to her,
starting to talk about children.
We hadn’t been talking for long when we heard a woman’s heart- wrenching scream from outside. Both
Emma and I tacitly stopped our conversation and headed towards the door.
Upon leaving the ward, he saw Ashley. Her face was pale, still dressed in her hospital gown, looking
very weak. It was unclear what had happened. At that moment, she was staring at Walter with red-
rimmed eyes, her pale face full of stubbornness and resentment.
Judging by this, it was quite clear that Walter had said something to her.
Seeing use out, Walter slightly furrowed his brows, looking at Roy next to Ashley, he said, “Help
Ms. Conner back to rest.”
Roy nodded, reaching out to help Ashley, but was avoided by Ashley.
Looking at the indifferent Walter, tears streamed down Ashley’s cheeks, her voice hoarse, “So, from
beginning to end, you approached me just to repay a favor, right?”
Walter’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, an imperceptible indifference hidden within his handsome
features. He didn’t respond directly, instead he said, “Take good care of yourself.”

But she seemed unwilling to ept it, her gaze fixed on Walter, her voice hoarse. “Have you really
never treated me sincerely? Not even a little bit?”
