When they arrived at the hospital, they were quickly directed to the floor where elder Mr. White was staying.
After verifying their names on the visitor list, a nurse guided them down the corridor.
Given that this floor was reserved for the White family, the hallway was eerily quiet.
Stopping in front of a door, the nurse knocked gently.
“Mr. White, you have visitors.”

Christy wasn’t willing to back down.
“Please! She’s been absent all these years, not even visiting her own grandfather. And now she wants shares and property? What a disgrace!”
Hannah overheard the heated exchanges and insults.
