Chapter 584 Final Goodbye
+8 Pearls
Landon brought Tessa to Mr. Walter’s hospital room. Inside, Yardley and the others were already gathered. They weren’t there out of filial piety.
They were there because they were afraid that if the old man passed, he might leave them nothing. So they waited, hoping their presence would earn them a share–anything–just not everything going to Tessa.
They didn’t trust her.
The moment she arrived, Yardley jumped to his feet.
“Tessa, where the hell have you been?” he barked, feigning righteous anger. “Do you know how long your grandfather’s been waiting for you? He loves you the most–he’s on his deathbed, and you show up just now?”
Every word was an accusation, dripping with false
He didn’t care where she’d been.
He only cared about the inheritance.
Tessa gave him a single glance.
Just one look–and Yardley was instantly silenced.
But then Winona stepped forward.
concern.
“He’s right, isn’t he? Dad’s always loved you most. But now you’ve screwed up, and no one’s allowed to say a word to you?”
Landon’s brow creased in disgust.
The Sinclair family was truly nauseating.
If not for the promise he’d made to Mr. Walter to leave them untouched, he’d have thrown them out already. Even hearing their voices was exhausting.
Lila quickly chimed in too.
“Tessa, your grandfather loves you the most. Go talk to him. He’s only still breathing because he’s waiting to see you.”
Tessa clenched her fists.
So it really was time. There was no saving him now.
Inside the room, Louis heard the commotion and stepped out. The moment he saw her, his eyes reddened.
“Ms. Tessa, thank God you’re back. Go on in. He’s been waiting just for you.”
At that, Tessa no longer spared a glance at the other three. She brushed past them toward the door.
Yardley tried to follow–but Landon’s guards blocked him.

Frustrated, Yardley turned to Landon. “Alpha, I know we’ve overstepped, but this is a family matter. We jur want to see him one last time. Isn’t that reasonable.
Hands in his pockets, Landon cut him off coldly.
“He wants to see Tessa. That’s it. So shut your mouth. I don’t care for your noise.”
Just a look from him, laced with the pressure of an alpha’s presence, and Yardley backed down without another word.
Not long after, Ysabel arrived–tears brimming in her eyes. She had rushed here as soon as she heard Tessa had returned.
She knew how much Tessa cared for Mr. Walter. Now that he was like this, she had to be here for her.
When she and Nathaniel reached the hospital, they found Landon waiting outside alone. That meant Tessa had already gone in.
“Can she handle this?” Ysabel asked, clearly distraught. “How could you let her go in there alone? She must be devastated–she shouldn’t have to go through that by herself.”
She wasn’t afraid of her uncle anymore. Not when she was this worried.
Landon exhaled deeply. “She and the old man are saying their final goodbye. No one else can be part of that.”
He couldn’t breathe just thinking about how much pain she was in.
