Chapter 567

Bella Thompson lowered her voice and said, “Honey, I saw on the news that Dad got hurt, I was so worried about him, so Matthew and I rushed back overnight.”

Olivia Jenkins silently sneered in her heart: Hypocrite!

Olivia Jenkins’s almond eyes were shining with sharp light, she said before her father-in-law could respond, “It is very late now, Grandfather is already asleep. Please be as quiet as possible, don’t wake him up. The doctor said that Grandfather should not be disturbed or it would affect his future recovery. Dad, please go easy, take Grandfather’s injury into consideration.”

Without awaiting an answer from her father-in-law, Olivia indifferently walked back to the ward.

At this moment, the attending doctor also came for ward rounds.

The doctor’s face was grave, “President Michael Marshall, it’s a good thing that many people are concerned about Mr. Alexander Marshall. However, please do not disturb him as much as possible, his recuperation should not be disrupted. The first month is crucial. Brain damage is unlike other physical injuries, he needs to rest well. If he does not recover well, it might affect his normal life in the future.”

Michael Marshall nodded slightly, “I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Doctor.”

The doctor briefly nodded and went inside the VIP suite to continue the ward rounds.

Michael Marshall and Bella Thompson were still standing outside the door.

After a moment of thought, Michael Marshall said in a low voice, “You and Matthew should go back for now, don’t disturb Dad yet, wait until his condition stabilizes, then you can come see him.”

Bella Thompson hadn’t expected Michael Marshall to be so cold-hearted, her heart instantly cooled to the bone, all hope extinguished.

Bella Thompson not only hated Michael from the bottom of her heart, but she also despised every other member of the Marshall Family.

It couldn’t just be her and Matthew who were suffering. Just wait and see, she was going to make them all wish they were dead, they all needed to experience the same agony as she and her son were feeling.

“Fine, Matthew and I will leave first.”

Matthew Marshall, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, “It’s too late, and the driver is tired. It might be dangerous. We will stay in a hotel for the night and head back to the countryside in the morning.”

His son made sense, so Michael Marshall nodded, “You two go stay in Beverly Hills for the night then, don’t stay in a hotel. All the media are watching, we wouldn’t want them to exploit this.”

Even if it was for just one night, the chance to return to Beverly Hills made Bella Thompson ecstatic. However, she didn’t show it, instead, she diplomatically declined.

“Matthew and I will stay in a hotel, Dad. You said we shouldn’t return to Beverly Hills, we can’t break the rules and we don’t want people to think we’re scheming.”

Displeased, Michael Marshall frowned, “If I ask you to go back, then just go back. Don’t talk so much, leave early tomorrow morning.”

“Honey, I won’t put you in a difficult position. Matthew and I will just stay in a hotel near the hospital. This way we can also stop the media from gossiping.”

After a slight bow, Bella Thompson firmly ushered her son away.

Even if Bella Thompson yearned to return to Beverly Hills, she knew it wasn’t the time, she was aware that Daniel Marshall would not let her go back.

Although she hated Michael Marshall, Bella Thompson knew very well how to manipulate him. If not, then how would this fool have believed that Ella Charles could betray him all those years ago?

From this moment on, Bella Thompson wouldn’t have any more illusions about the Marshall Family. She would have to be even more ruthless and decisive. No one would ever dare to bully her and her son again.

Watching the silhouette of his wife and son gradually disappear until they were out of sight, Michael Marshall felt a pang of melancholy and a sense of powerlessness gripping his heart.

All these complicated family relationships were suffocating him.

Even if everything wasn’t ideal, they were still his wife and child!

…

It wasn’t until they had checked into the hotel that Matthew spoke, “Mom, Olivia was clearly preventing us from seeing Grandfather. That sneaky woman purposely delayed us to ensure she would bump into the doctor making his ward rounds.”
