Goodbye My Arrogant Ex (Marguerite and Leonard) novel Chapter 354

It felt like she’d spent half the year in and out of hospitals, and each time, the outcome was the same. She knew her condition. Without surgery, medication was only a temporary fix, and any emotional distress could trigger a fatal attack. What was the point of going back? She’d rather be at home. She wasn’t going to endure the torment of another hospital visit, another grim prognosis from a doctor. She was old. Her time was up.

“Grandmother, I know what you’re thinking,” Leonard said, his voice low and strained. “If you don’t go to the hospital, then I’m walking away from the company. From this day forward, I won’t have anything more to do with it.”

It was a desperate, last-ditch effort.

Mrs. Murphy’s eyes flew open. She was utterly stunned. She never thought he would use the company—her life’s work—to threaten her.

“You fool!” she cried, a surge of adrenaline making her voice stronger. “The company isn’t something you can just abandon! I entrusted it to you because I believe in you!”

“Mom, he’s already offered to give up the company, what more do you want?” Aaron interjected, seizing the opportunity. “Don’t you worry, my brother and I can handle everything. The important thing is for you to get to the hospital. We can’t let this wait.”
