Chapter 216
Looking inside through the glass window, he saw the woman who had cared for him for twenty–three years, lying motionless and covered with all
kinds of detectors.
Conrad’s gaze rested on her graying hair, and he felt as though there was no emotion within him.
After standing for a while, he took out his phone and made a call.
The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
He dialed the second number, but it was the same,
As soon as Moira and her mother reached the ground floor, Jane began to scold her, “You and Virgil are just dating. You haven’t registered your marriage yet. You can’t be this proactive, or people will look down on you!”
Moira was stunned. “Mom, didn’t you say you were going to stay and watch over her?”
“How can I be the same as you? I went to take care of you Page because she and I are friends. What position are you in to take care of her?”
Since she and Conrad hadn’t divorced yet, Page was technically her mother–in–law.
She also felt that she should help out.
Moira remained silent as Jane continued, “In any case. I’m speaking from experience, and my words have merit. Think about how you treated Jaylee before. You were always enthusiastic, running around for her and caring for her without complaint. But when Austin became rich, they didn’t appreciate you. Instead, they spread rumors that you were clinging to her son…
Jane didn’t finish her semence, but the memory y of it still made her angry
“Page is not that kind of person.”
“I didn’t say Page is that kind of person. I’m just asking you to be more reserved

Hearing this. Jane felt a bit relieved
Leaving the hospital, Moira found a good spot to call a taxi using the app
At this time, traffic wasn’t too bad, and a driver soon accepted their request.
After they got into the car, Jane praised. “But I have to say, Virgil is really a good kid. You called him, and he came right away. He’s much better than
Austin“”
Austin was actually filial too, but he asked Moira to help him be filial. Every time Jaylee had a headache or fever, she would be the one to run errand’s
At that time, Moira thought it was normal for a man to be busy with his career and felt it was natural to help take care of her boyfriend’s mother.
But as the head of Morton Group, Conrad was also busy.
He was probably even busier than Austin.
However, when something happened to his adoptive mother, he came immediately after getting the call.
He even thought about her mom, bringing her food. A man like that would surely be good to his wife. If she ended up with him, she could be at
Listening to her mother’s words, Moira found herself not disliking Conrad as much as before.
After taking her mother home, Moira planned to take a taxi back to Zea’s place

“Not yet. I’m not going back today
Moira’s heart tightened “Where are you now?
“At the hotel. I drank a little and felt a little dizzy. I stayed at the hotel with Emily and the others
“Which hotel? Tell me the address and I’ll pick you up.”
“No need, don’t pick me up. Emily booked a room at a five–star hotel tonight. It’s a thousand dollars a night. I wouldn’t spend that much money myself. The Morton Group is so rich. Even without any achievements. I get to stay in sugh a luxurious hotel. I’m really happy, it feels like a stream?
Moira had been a little worried, but hearing Zea’s tone, she realized her concerns were unnecessary.
“Such a huge money can’t go to waste. I’m going to have a good sleep. Moira, let’s meet tomorrow. My bath is ready.

Before Moira could say anything else, the call was disconnected.
