Chapter 2024 What For

As Jonathan and Madilyn had already gone on their “honeymoon,” Roxanne began planning in her head for her

honeymoon trip with Jonathan.

It was almost winter holiday, so the children were free as well.

Furthermore, she had yet to reach the stage where her pregnancy was obvious, so she could still freely move

around. Hence, Roxanne began picking the destinations for the trip.

Lucian agreed to it. He felt that it was time for him to reward himself after working hard for Farwell Group for so

many years.

Of course, he said those words on purpose before Elias.

After all, Elias left the mess to his son so that he could enjoy his own life before he even reached forty. It seemed

like he was confident that Lucian would be able to handle the company well.

Sonya then chimed in, suggesting family-friendly places.

Right then, Elias burst everyone's bubble. “Roxanne, I don't think it's a good idea to go anywhere now. After all,

Grant's condition has not stabilized yet.”

Roxanne froze. The mention of that man brought a bitter smile onto her face.

For dozens of years, Grant had never given her even one second of attention—it was as if she was dead to him.

Naturally, it would not be her habit to think about him.

"I'll continue performing acupuncture for him today before taking him to the hospital for a checkup. I'd like to find

out how the tumor is,” Roxanne muttered.

Sonya and Elias nodded.

Lucian started consoling his wife. “Regardless of everything, we'll send him off. Consider this as us being kind. We

always go on holiday some other time in the future.”

"All right. We'll go on a family trip by then. I'm sure we'll have an easier time taking care of the children with Mom

and Dad with us," Roxanne said as she turned to Sonya with a smile.

Sonya was not expecting to hearthat from her, and a smile manifested on her lips in pleasant surprise. Then, she

bobbed her head and answered, “Sure. I'll help with the children with Elias.”

That afternoon, Roxanne and Lucian went back to the Farwell main residence.

They asked the housekeeper about Grant's recent condition, and it seemed like he was mostly fine. He had a

routine for his meals and sleep. Although there were times when his gastritis would flare up, his medicine could

keep it under control.

When Roxanne entered the room, something on the wall caught her attention and made her snap her head

upward.

It was a large wedding photo of Grant and her mother.

Evidently, the photo was a new print, for the colors were vibrant.

Roxanne's mother was smiling sweetly in the photo. Maybe she thought she was the most blessed woman in the

world at that time, Roxanne mused. Who would have known that the man who promised to spend the rest of his life

with her would betray her? She cried so much that her tears went dry. Then, she was so sad that she broke down.

Roxanne stared at the photo for a long time before resentment swelled in her chest. She turned to look at Grant.

Grant seemed dazed as he stared right at the photo.

Then, a look of pain crossed his face, and tears welled up in his eyes.

“Roxanne, I'm sorry. I've made a mistake. A grave mistake. I was too ambitious that I lost everything in the end. I've

wronged your mother, and I owe her so much. I wish I could die faster so that I could apologize to her in the

afterlife,” Grant cried out before dissolving into tears as he broke down.

His words and his cries made Roxanne feel so uncomfortable that she retreated from the room. She wanted to

recompose herself too, or else she would not be able to treat Grant either.

The housekeepers walked over cautiously and whispered to Roxanne, “Mrs. Farwell, your father has been crying

these few days. He kept apologizing to the photo.”

Roxanne curled her lips into a mocking smile. "Is that so? Well, you just need to do your job and ignore him.”

What's the use of regret and apologies when you're on the verge of death? My mother won't come back to life.

Regardless of whether you 're sincere or not, do you think you hove another chance at this? You don't. The

destruction you've brought to this family will always be here until the end of time.
