Chapter116Â
I went to the second floor, and the doctor was talking to Cierra.Â
“Only a few days left, it’s no use trying any more medication,”Â
the doctor said solemnly. “Mrs. Schmitt, please accept myÂ
condolences.”Â
Cierra wiped away her tears and nodded, “Thank you.”Â
Even though she knew it was impossible to turn back time,Â
when she heard those words again, Adelaide still felt a chill runÂ
down her spine, her feet as heavy as lead, unable to move anÂ
inch.Â
Cierra found her, “Adelaide, you’re here. Your teacher is a bitÂ
more awake now, go in and talk to him.”Â
“Okay” Adelaide nodded and entered the house.Â
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Anderson turned his face withÂ
difficulty, his eyes already wide open, weakly looking atÂ
Adelaide.Â
Adelaide forced a smile, reached out, and shook the old man’sÂ
hand.Â
“Teacher, are you trying to tell me something?”Â
Chapter116Â
Anderson tried to lift his head, Adelaide turned away, staring at the bedside table.Â
She asked, “Do you want me to open the drawer?”Â
Anderson nodded.Â
I opened the drawer, there was only one photo inside, it was still the Anderson family portrait.Â
She was about to ask if he wanted to see the photos, when suddenly she realized something.Â
Anderson got to this point, why didn’t his son’s family of threeÂ
come back from overseas?Â
She looked at the old man and said, “Teacher, do you want me to help?”Â
Anderson cried.Â
About ten minutes later, Adelaide came downstairs and foundÂ
the dining table set with four dishes and a soup, while GarrettÂ
was sitting on the living room sofa with Cierra.Â
Cierra was still not happy with Garrett, but she wouldn’t showÂ
it openly.Â
Adelaide felt guilty and didn’t have the face to stay hereÂ
anymore.Â

She said, “Garrett, come with me.”Â
Garrett immediately got up, “I cooked dinner, won’t you stayÂ
and have it with Mrs. Schmitt?”Â
Cierra also looked at Adelaide, giving her a reassuringÂ
expression, “Adelaide, let’s eat first before we go?”Â
Adelaide shook her head and said, “Mrs. Schmitt, let’s haveÂ
dinner another day. I got a last–minute work call and need toÂ
work late at the office.”Â
“So, okay,” Cierra had to give up.Â
I heard she had to work overtime, Garrett’s expressionÂ
darkened. He walked out of the Schmitt’s villa with her andÂ
then said with concern, “You’ve never worked before, and nowÂ
you have to work overtime. How can your body handle it? QuitÂ
that job. I’ll arrange an easy job for you, okay?”Â
Adelaide stopped in her tracks, glaring at him, “I used to work, IÂ
was a vocal teacher, but you ruined my first job.”Â
Garrett looked a bit upset, “I don’t want you to work hard andÂ
suffer. You were born to be pampered, you don’t need to toil forÂ
a job.”Â
“Your fiancee is the real heiress,” Adelaide retorted coldly.Â
When it comes to Amanda, Garrett seems more disgusted. “SheÂ
Chapter 116Â
just has the title of the Pierce family heiress, but you’re the one who’s really well–raised.”Â
Adelaide felt a chill in her heart, “So from the beginning, youÂ
were thinking the same as the Pierce family, that even if I joinedÂ
the Barnard family, as long as I played the role of a pretty vase,Â
staying at home all day, waiting for you to come back, right?”Â
Garrett frowned, “How could you think like that? There are soÂ
many wealthy families in Evercrest, aren’t those rich wives justÂ
eating and drinking all day, taking care of the family? Do youÂ
want me to be like those useless men, forcing my wife to go outÂ
and work to support the family?”Â
