Chapter 200 +15 Bonus The girl nodded silently . Sarah was leaving her office when James called . She didn't want to talk and immediately hung up . Mia and Zachary had already departed for the auction . Sarah knew the walk from campus to her apartment was brief . As she approached her building , a car pulled up . The window lowered , revealing Charlotte , who called out urgently : " Miss Sanders , grandfather has collapsed ! " Sarah's heart raced . " What ?! " " Get in ! " Without hesitation , Sarah jumped into Charlotte's car . Perhaps those persistent calls from James had been about this emergency , though she'd dismissed them earlier . At the hospital , James stood slumped against the doorway while nurses moved in and out of his father's room . She approached him , brow furrowed . " What happened to your father ? " James looked haggard , a flash of unease crossing his eyes . " The butler called . I'm not entirely sure .

" Grandpa , " Sarah said firmly , " Lucy's actions are her own . I know you care about me . " Richard patted her hand . "I hardly deserve your compassion . I kept asking James to bring you here , but you never came . I thought you were angry with me . " Chapter 200 She glanced at James , realizing those repeated calls had come directly from Richard . A soft smile crossed her lips . " Don't worry so much . Just focus on getting better . " Her hand slipped away almost imperceptibly . +15 Bonus Richard spoke reflectively . " I know I shouldn't try to manipulate your emotions . Yesterday , I saw a video of Lucy in the hospital . I'd intended to let her learn her lesson , but she was throwing herself against the walls , begging me and James to help her. " He paused , his voice cracking . " I'm sorry . I'm ashamed to even discuss this with you . I thought about asking you to intervene , but now I've changed my mind . " A complex emotion flickered in Sarah's eyes . She knew Richard would inevitably bring up this painful topic .
