Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 352

But the old woman barely acknowledged him. “Don’t you stand there and pretend to care,” she rasped, her eyes still closed. “I know exactly what you’re thinking. Even if I die, the company will never fall into your hands. So you can forget about it.”

Her words were sharp and final. She would not budge on this.

“Mom, how can you say that? I’m genuinely worried about you! If it means you’ll get better, I don’t care about the company,” Aaron insisted, a sudden wave of regret washing over him. Why hadn’t he been a better son? Why did he always manage to upset her? Seeing her like this filled him with a pain so sharp it felt like a physical blow, but he knew she no longer trusted a word he said.

Behind him, his wife, Edith, shot him a furious look, jabbing him in the back. *Don’t care about the company?* The company was rightfully theirs!

“Mom, Baron and I are both here,” Aaron’s brother added, stepping forward. “We both want you to go to the hospital. Please, give us another chance. We promise we’ll never upset you again. We didn’t come here today to talk about the company, only to help with the family.”

“Grandmother, look how much pain you’re in,” Marguerite said gently, taking the old woman’s hand. “How can you get better if you don’t go to the hospital? The doctors can help you. Please, just listen to us this one time.”
