Grace said slowly, but Old Mr. Kelleigh’s face changed. The others who had been locked up in the police station previously also trembled subconsciously.

It had not been easy for them to get out of there. If they went back to ‘find out’, what if they were locked up again? Only God knew when they would get out.

“Does this mean you won’t give a cent?” Old Mr. Kelleigh’s face darkened. “Are you not afraid that your grandmother has no money to cure her illness and will be driven out of the hospital?”

“If you really don’t want to pay the medical expenses, Grandmother still has the demolition compensation. Isn’t the house going to be demolished? The house Grandfather and Grandmother live in now is a couple’s joint property. Grandmother owns half of it. According to the present demolition compensation, it’s probably worth a million. If

Grandmother takes half, that’s half a million. When the time comes, you can also take out a mortgage. When the demolition compensation is officially deposited, you can use it to repay the loan.”

Grace said without pausing. The Kelleigh family was going dizzy with her words, but one thing was for sure. Grace was planning to use the demolition compensation to pay the medical expenses.

“What does the demolition money have to do with you? You’re just a maternal relative. How dare you talk about this?” Her first uncle shouted at once as if Grace had come to get a slice of the cake.

“So you do know that I’m just your maternal relative? Then why do you want me to pay?” Grace said, “I will bear a quarter of my grandmother’s medical expenses. I will give the money directly to the hospital, but I will not bear the rest. If you don’t treat her well, I’ll go to court.”

After saying this, Grace did not bother to pay any more attention to her so-called relatives and left without hesitation.

The Kelleigh family looked at each other.

“Dad, Grace is only going to bear a quarter of the medical expenses. What about the rest?” Her first uncle asked cautiously.

“Then I’ll say I can’t cure this illness and bring your mother home. I’ll see if she’ll contribute this money!” Old Mr. Kelleigh said angrily.

“But what if she really sues us?” First Uncle said, worried.

Second Uncle hurriedly added, “Yes, she was a top law student back then and had even been a lawyer. Moreover, backing her now…. That big figure is probably there. If they really sue us, we probably won’t be able to win the lawsuit.”

Old Mr. Kelleigh rubbed his chin. His expression was ugly as he said, “Then you three sum up the remaining three quarters of the medical bill.”

“You want us to cover the expenses?” Third Aunt hastily asked.

“What else? Wait for that brat to sue us?” Old Mr. Kelleigh glared angrily at his daughter. “If you don’t contribute to these medical expenses, don’t think you can get a single penny from the coming expropriation compensation!”

Third Aunt did not make a sound anymore. Although she was a daughter who had already married off, the family said before that they would give her a small sum from the expropriation compensation.

Now the whole family had their hopes pinned on this expropriation compensation!

If Grace really started a lawsuit, then maybe Grace could have a piece of this expropriation compensation pie too.

The large family all looked at each other. Finally, they could only come to the decision to pool the money from the three families.

Grace returned to her grandmother’s ward. Her grandmother had already fallen asleep, so Grace sat by the hospital bed and silently watched her grandmother’s sleeping face.

Back then, the person who always protected her was her grandmother, but now she had gotten old and needed Grace’s protection.

Actually, if she really had the money, she would not mind paying all of her grandmother’s medical expenses by herself, but the current her led a difficult life. She could not bear her grandmother’s medical expenses all by herself.

Today, she brought up the expropriation compensation, so she thought that her grandfather as well as First Uncle and the others would probably give her grandmother a good medical treatment.

If there was not enough money for the medical expenses, she would do her best to fight for her grandmother’s rights and use the expropriation compensation money later on to safeguard her grandmother’s remaining life.

Now, there was too little she could do for her grandmother.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky was gradually darkening. Grace only left the ward when the nurse walked in to check the room.

When she walked out of the inpatient section, she inadvertently saw a figure walking out of the clinic.

Grace was stunned. She never thought she would bump into

Brian at a place like this.

Moreover, there was nobody else with Brian. It was just him.

Brian had clearly spotted Grace too. His eyes lit up slightly. Then, he walked over and said, “What a coincidence.”

“It is a little coincidental,” she said before going around him to leave.

However, in the next moment, he reached out a hand to stop her. “Speaking of which, last time I treated you to a meal, I made you encounter some unpleasant things. How’s this… I’ll treat you to another meal today. Take it as an apology for the matter last time.”

Grace knew that Brian was talking about how she had met his ex-girlfriend, Emily Theller, when they ate together last time.

Speaking of which, she used to see news about Emily Theller often on media online, but in recent times, there had been absolutely no news about Emily Theller online. It was like there was no such person in showbiz.

“What happened to that ex-girlfriend of yours?” Grace could not help asking, but she regretted it after the words left her mouth. This was not something she should be asking.

“Nothing happened. Since she did some things she shouldn’t have, naturally, she should bear the consequences,” Brian said carelessly as if he did not think it was a big deal at all.

However, when Grace heard it, her heart jumped. Saying it this way… Had Emily Theller been silenced? She might even have been forced out of show business.

From then on, she would no longer have luxuries to adorn herself and would have to live a plain life.

On this planet, how many would willingly choose plainness? Especially someone who had experienced luxury before. She was afraid Emily Theller would not be able to withstand that kind of commoner’s plainness.

“What, are you sympathizing her?” Brian looked at the woman before his eyes and said, “That day, Emily Theller was not courteous to you at all, though.”

“I’m not sympathizing. I think she wouldn’t want my sympathy either,” Grace said. “You don’t have to treat me to a meal as an apology either. I need to catch the bus back to Emerald City.”

“I still want to treat you to a meal.” Brian said.

Grace said indifferently, “Can it be that you want to use force to treat me to a meal?”

“I don’t like to use force, but using it occasionally isn’t bad either.” Brian pulled Grace’s hand as he spoke, taking big steps toward the car park.

“Brian, what are you planning to do?” Lig Grace yelled in a low voice.

“Just want to have a meal with you,” he said casually.

Was it really just to have a meal? If a man like him really wanted to find a woman to have a meal with, he would have plenty of women who would willingly accompany him. There was absolutely no need for him to force her.

Just as Grace was in doubt, the two of them had already arrived in front of Brian’s car.
