“What happened? Why did you vomit?” Jeremy asked worriedly.
“She’s always had gastric problems. It comes back whenever she’s nervous. It’s not a big deal, but it just never gets better.” Sophia sighed.
“I’ll find a good doctor for her. If the doctors in the country can’t treat her, I’ll take her abroad to look for a cure.” The man was gentle as he wrapped his arm around Liana’s waist.
Alyssa sneered in her heart when she thought of the time her stomach problem kicked in. Back then, she was so sick yet she had to go to the hospital alone. She didn’t tell him about it, but he never even showed concern even though her face was pale and she looked weak.
It turned out that it was not that Jeremy didn’t know how to love, but that she was just not worthy enough to get his love.
Liana leaned into Jeremy’s arms and stared at Alyssa with a malicious smile.
“Wait! Why did she change so much? She’s become so beautiful! The butterfly brooch on her chest, isn’t that the latest design from the famous designer Alexa? It’s worth five million. How could a country bumpkin like her afford it? This bitch doesn’t have any money. It must be a fake!” Liana thought to herself.
“Jeremy, why don’t you let Liana accompany you to visit Grandpa? She cried all the way here and was so worried about him.” Sophia was very enthusiastic and acted as if Alyssa, who had taken care of their family for three years, was invisible.
However, Alyssa only maintained an indifferent expression. She didn’t even care about Jeremy, so why should she care about her?
At this moment, Newton’s secretary walked out of the ward.
“Mr. Walsh asked for his granddaughter-in-law. Is she here?”
Liana showed envy when she heard that.
“Ben, I’m here.” Worried, Alyssa walked up. She didn’t care about titles now that they were in such a situation.
“Madam Allison.” Ben respectfully gestured for her to enter.
“Mr. Walsh has asked for you and Mr. Jeremy.”
Alyssa didn’t say anything else and walked into the ward. Jeremy pursed his lips and followed behind her.
“Jeremy, wait for me …” Liana quickly followed, but Ben stopped her.
“Sorry, but Mr. Walsh ordered that he doesn’t want to see anyone else besides his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Please leave.”
Inside the ward, the sickly Newton instantly saw a lift in spirits upon seeing Alyssa. “Allison, come over here!”
In the next second, Alyssa changed her persona and obediently stood beside Newton. “Grandpa, how are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?”
“Even if it hurts, I feel cured after seeing you.” Newton pulled her hand and asked worriedly, “Allison, this bastard told me you guys are divorced. Is that true?”
“Yes. Grandpa, we’re divorced.” Alyssa’s eyelashes trembled, and her heart felt empty.
“You blind bastard! You have such a great wife, yet you don’t know how to appreciate her.” Newton expended all his strength to get up and glared at Jeremy.
Jeremy was worried about Newton’s condition and dared not speak rashly.
“Grandpa, don’t be mad at him. I don’t want to continue this marriage. I think it’s better for us to break up.” Alyssa gently comforted him and patted his back.
Jeremy’s eyes narrowed as he thought, “She’s not complaining to my grandfather or using him to vent her anger and take revenge. Could she be using a new trick to get my attention and save this marriage? Allison Burton, what gave you the confidence to think I would be attracted by you?”
“Allison, were you wronged during your time with the Walshs? Did Sophia mistreat you?” Newton asked in dismay.
“No, Grandpa. I just don’t think Jeremy and I are a good match. We wont’ have any feelings for each other, so the best outcome is to split up.”
Sadness shone in Alyssa’s eyes. “Don’t blame Jeremy. We made some good memories during these three years too. That’s enough. Neither of us regrets it.”
Jeremy frowned, and there was a perplexing emotion in his heart. He didn’t remember sharing any good memories with her. He didn’t even give her a wedding ceremony.
They had only gotten their marriage certificate under Newton’s urging. After that, she simply packed her stuff and moved in with the Walshs. Just like that, she became his wife. Did she really find those memories good? She must be lying.
“Allison, could it be my fault?” Newton’s eyes were teary.
Then, he sighed. “I had hoped that you guys would be happy, so I paired you two together. I didn’t expect this bastard to be such a rascal. It seems I’ve wronged you.”
“Don’t say that. Love fades, and I’ve gotten back my freedom. I’ve already gotten over this relationship.” She had been deeply in love with him for 13 years. Only the heavens knew how painful it was to let it go. It was like being skinned alive.
It was Jeremy who was heartless. If she continued trying to stay with him, she would lose her dignity.
She didn’t want to become a hated woman who went all out for the slightest affection from a man.
“Ben, bring over the birthday present I prepared for my granddaughter-in-law.”
Ben put on white gloves before passing over a delicate red velvet jewelry box. When it was opened, Alyssa saw an emerald bracelet inside. She had some understanding of antiques and realized this item must be at least a century old.
“Grandpa, this is Grandma’s …” Jeremy was shocked.
“Yes, I gave this to your grandma when we first got together. It’s a precious treasure of the Walshs. It was passed down from your great-grandfather,” Newton said as he looked at the bracelet under the sun.
His gaze was gentle as he said, “Your grandmother told me this before she passed. This was her favorite piece of jewelry, and she hoped I would give it to the granddaughter-in-law I was happy with.
Your grandmother isn’t here, so I’ll give it to Allison in her place. She’s the only one worthy of it.”
“No, Grandpa. This is too expensive. Moreover, I’m not …” Alyssa rejected it.
“Even if you’re no longer with Jeremy, you’re the only granddaughter-in-law I acknowledge.”
Seeing that she refused, Newton acted stubbornly. “If you don’t take it, I’ll smash it.”
“Don’t! No!” Alyssa held his hand in horror, her heart almost jumping out from shock.
“I’ll take it. Thank you, Grandpa.”
“That’s more like it!” Newton was satisfied and put it on her wrist.
Alyssa had smooth skin, so her arm looked fairer upon wearing the emerald bracelet. This was the first time Jeremy took a close look at her hand and found that it was soft and smooth. She really did look good with the emerald bracelet on.
“Bastard, what did you give Allison for her birthday?” Newton asked.
“Grandpa, Jeremy … gave me an unforgettable present.”
Jeremy clenched his fist, and his lips were pale. He did gift her something—divorce papers.
“Allison, is there really no turning back between you and Jeremy?” Newton didn’t plan to give up.
“Grandpa …” Alyssa held his hand. “If you really love me, you should support my decision and let me live the life I want, right?”
“Since the matter has come to this point. I can’t say anything more. I only have one wish that I hope you can fulfill. Please stay until my 80th birthday is over, okay? It’s only in a few days.” Newton tried his best to make her stay longer.
“Grandpa, that’s not appropriate.” Jeremy frowned and rejected the idea.
“Why is it not appropriate? Don’t tell me you plan on bringing that woman to my birthday and forcefully making her my granddaughter-in-law! Do those two women think they can do whatever they want to the Walsh men? In their dreams!”
Newton slapped the bed in anger. “If you respect me and want me to live a few more years, you’d better stay away from her. I’m never going to accept her.”
