Aeston First Hospital. Vera Hansen was getting bandaged, while Julian Lawson sat alone in the hospital corridor waiting. The lights in the hospital were cold. He sat alone leaning against a chair, staring at the pale ceiling. Too much had happened today; his mind was a mess. What kept appearing in his mind was Serena’s figure, the bits and pieces between him and her over many years, and lately, her role as Irene. Her tears, those eyes of hers, made his heart ache. But what ultimately overwhelmed all of this was Vera Hansen’s blood-covered wrist. That was his responsibility. All kinds of emotions welled up in his heart, a sense of helplessness engulfing him. He didn’t know how he could find a solution that would satisfy everyone. Julian Lawson painfully closed his eyes. What eventually made him open his eyes was an angry yet aged voice— He opened his eyes to see his grandfather’s furious face before him. "Grandfather." Julian Lawson called softly. "You little bastard!" Caleb Lawson snorted coldly, "Why are you not looking for Serena and came here instead?" Julian Lawson didn’t know what to say, just looking at Caleb Lawson powerlessly. Seeing Julian Lawson made Caleb Lawson angry. As people passed by, he said to Julian Lawson, "Come with me!" Julian Lawson supported himself against the wall to stand up, following Caleb Lawson who was leaning on a cane. They walked in silence. Eventually, they arrived at the emergency passage. The old man was supported by Butler Wyatt, and the old lady was also there, watching Julian Lawson. "I don’t want to say much else." Caleb Lawson sternly locked eyes with Julian and said, "Julian Lawson, I’m telling you, our Lawson Family doesn’t tolerate such chaos, and you need to go find Serena immediately!" "If you can’t get rid of Vera Hansen, then I will!" But Julian Lawson only looked at the corridor on the side. Again, he recalled the day he accidentally pushed Serena down the stairs. And during the first live broadcast of ’Heavenly Sound,’ the scars all over Irene’s body. When he was with Vera Hansen on the ambulance, he saw reporters squatting nearby. The news must be everywhere online already. Given the current situation, would she... be willing to see him? Seeing Julian Lawson made Caleb Lawson angry; he hit Julian hard with his cane: "Speak!" But Julian Lawson didn’t know what to say. The old lady couldn’t stand it anymore; she stared at Julian Lawson, saying word by word, "Julian, people have feelings, you keep hurting Serena over and over again, have you ever thought about how sad she would be?" The rıghtful source is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁 "Back at the old house, we wanted you to talk things through, but now it seems you didn’t at all!" "Aren’t you afraid she won’t want you anymore?" Julian Lawson looked at the old lady blankly. Once again, he imagined Serena’s eyes that never looked at him anymore, calm and indifferent. And on the day they got the divorce papers and left the civil affairs bureau, her departing figure. Julian Lawson’s fists clenched tightly, suddenly feeling a bit uncertain. "Your grandmother is talking to you, can’t you hear her!" Caleb Lawson was getting angrier and angrier. He took out his phone, found Serena’s contact, and handed the phone to Julian Lawson. "Now, call Serena immediately and tell her you’ve broken up with Vera Hansen and that you’ll go see her!" But Julian Lawson just stared at Serena’s name on the phone. His clenched fists were trembling. Everything before him seemed unreal; next to the corridor, Serena’s figure seemed to appear again as she fell, followed by the shout he heard without daring to look back. Just as Caleb Lawson was about to speak again, Julian Lawson heard his own voice. The voice sounded unfamiliar, as if it didn’t belong to him. Caleb Lawson paused with the cane raised. "What?" Caleb Lawson asked incredulously. Julian Lawson lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the big green words in the emergency passage. He said, "The cooling-off period has passed; we collected the divorce papers a few days ago." The entire corridor was silent for three seconds. Then came Butler Wyatt’s incredulous voice, "Young master, you can’t joke about this. You can’t deceive the old master and old lady so you won’t call the young madam!" But Julian Lawson only pressed his lips tightly, saying nothing. Caleb Lawson’s anger surged, and he lashed out at Julian Lawson with the cane. "Good, Julian Lawson, really good job, Julian Lawson!" Caleb Lawson’s gasping intensifies; his chest rises and falls violently, his eyes red as he pointed at Julian Lawson. "So, at least a month ago, you already mentioned divorce to Serena!" "Even when you were blatantly with Vera Hansen!" "Good, really great! You divorced Serena for Vera Hansen!" Caleb Lawson’s finger trembled with anger, even his lips were shaking. "How did our Lawson Family end up with such a disgrace like you!" "I’ll... see if I won’t beat you to death!" Caleb Lawson took the cane again and hit Julian Lawson hard, but as he raised it again. "Our Lawson Family... Lawson..." In an instant, Caleb Lawson couldn’t catch his breath; his eyes rolled back as he fainted, and Butler Wyatt and the old lady immediately supported Caleb Lawson. Julian Lawson jumped to help Caleb Lawson but was pushed away by the old lady. "Grandmother, let me..." Julian Lawson hurriedly said. "Get out!" But before Julian Lawson could finish, the old lady shouted angrily, "We don’t have a grandson like you!" "You’ve long ignored whether we live or die; why are you pretending now?" "Do you want to piss off me, the old lady, as well?" Butler Wyatt had already called for a doctor loudly. "Grandmother, I didn’t." Julian Lawson’s eyes were red, "Let me hold grandfather; grandfather’s illness..." The response was the old lady’s merciless shove. The light in the emergency passage flickered on and off. No matter how Julian Lawson tried, the old lady kept pushing him away. This pushing reminded him once again of the day they wrestled in the emergency passage. In an uproar, medical staff hurried over, carrying Caleb Lawson for emergency treatment. Julian Lawson followed them all the way, finally being shut out of the rescue room. Leaving only the old lady’s words— "If something happens to your grandfather, I, the old lady, will follow him to death. Remember, Julian Lawson, what you carry is our lives!" Julian Lawson faced the closed rescue room, surrounded by people coming and going. What were they saying? He couldn’t grasp it. Everything felt unreal. Why did things escalate to this point? It seemed he had messed everything up.
