The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 797

"Stay away from Lance! Who do you think you are to question him? Would the Olson family be in this mess if it weren't for you?"

Suddenly, the door of the nearby ward was opened, and a nurse inside quietly said, "Mr. Kendal is asking for Ms. Chloe."

Lauretta was venting her anger by pulling at Keira's hair, while Lance just leaned against the wall, watching with an emotionless expression.

He didn't care about the eighteen percent of shares his grandfather was about to hand over to Chloe. He knew that handing those shares to Chloe was the only chance for the company to survive. And the remaining shares owned by the Olson family would be enough to sustain their lifestyle...

Kendal was sitting on the bed. In just a short time, his face had become much thinner and haggard, seemingly aging a decade.

Chloe's icy heart fluttered slightly, showing a hint of reluctance.

She quickly diverted her gaze, lowered her head and turned around, placing the flowers she brought on the table next to her.

When she looked up, she saw the weather outside the window had turned gloomy. The autumn wind was bleak, blowing off a few leaves from the trees, and lifting those on the ground.

She felt troubled inside, turned around, and broke into a smile.

"Are you feeling better?" she walked to the side of the bed and stood still.

"Eventually, that day will come."

Chloe smiled, "The most important thing is to have no regrets, like meeting a great-grandson at least once."

A few words of this insincere courtesy were enough.

The ward fell silent for a while.

"Mr. Kendal, did you ask me to come in person because you have something to say?"

Kendal coughed lightly, and finally let out a heavy sigh.

"You're not a heartless person, why pretend to be so tough?"

Chloe's delicate eyebrows knitted slightly. She looked at Kendal for a moment, then laughed and sat down on the chair in front of the bed.

"It's important to me."

Kendal looked at her. From his expression, Chloe knew he was waiting for her to continue.

Chloe's eyes hesitated for a moment, then tightened sharply.

Her face suddenly turned cold, and looking at the old man on the bed trying to see through her, she stood up from the seat.

"What are you trying to say? You think I don't really like Lance, so I don't have the right to be angry with him, right? But whether I really like him or not, I've always been wholeheartedly devoted to him. I've done my best for the Olson family. I don't think I've done anything wrong! If you just want to probe the real feelings between Lance and me, let's just drop it. As for the share transfer document, if you decide to give it to me, then go ahead. If not, I won't snatch it from you. I'm leaving!"

"Wait, Chloe!"

Kendal hurriedly called out to Chloe who was already turning around. Seeing her stop, he took the documents from under the pillow.

"I promised you, so I won't go back on my word. I know our family and Lance treated you unfairly, and I'm not trying to persuade you to forgive anyone. I just hope you don't hate Lance too much. In the future, please try to give him some respect. He is a man after all. Now he's paying for his mistakes. Even if you decide to treat him as a stranger, please try not to...hurt him with harsh words..."

Chloe pursed her lips, "I will treat him as a stranger! Dignity is earned, not given."

Outside the ward, Lauretta sat on the sofa, her face full of sorrow. Chloe walked out. Grover glanced at her, then looked away.

Keira, standing at the door with a face full of bruises, stared at Chloe as she walked out, regardless of her own dishevelment.
