Chapter 259

Grace is strange today for some reason,’ Daisy thought.
Grace paid the bill and returned to the ward. Daisy was peeling an orange for Frederick.
Grace sat down for a while. Listening to Daisy’s conversation with Frederick, she felt more and more like an outsider.
No, she was indeed an outsider.
In the past, she could blame Daisy for not caring about her, but now, she had no right to criticize Daisy.
Grace felt terrible and could not stand staying there any longer.
At that moment, she heard Daisy’s impatient voice. “Grace! Didn’t you hear me? I asked you to give me the water cup! Are you deaf?”
Grace came back to her senses and immediately handed Grace a cup of water.
She looked into Daisy’s eyes, only to see that Daisy’s face was filled with disdain.
Grace had often seen that expression since she was young. However, today, she suddenly wondered, ‘Daisy must hate me very much, right? She probably doesn’t want to see me for even a second.’ She hung her head and clenched her fists.
“I’m going back. I’ll pay for Dad’s hospitalization fees. I won’t come again.”
Daisy glared at Grace and said furiously, “What did you say? You won’t come again? How heartless you are!”
Grace said calmly, “I’ll hire a nurse to take care of Dad. Don’t worry.”
Daisy was stunned. “I just said a few words to you. Are you throwing a tantrum now?”
“No. I don’t think you want to see me, so I won’t come and be your eyesore in the future. I’m not aggrieved. I have nothing to do at home for the time being, and I’ll cook for Dad every day.” With that, Grace left the ward under Daisy’s surprised gaze.
Daisy did not come back to her senses for a long time. She looked at Frederick and pursed her lips. “Did she take the wrong medicine? Forget it, it’s fine as long as she pays the medical fees.”
Frederick’s hand that was holding the orange paused for a moment. “Don’t be so aggressive when you talk to Grace. It’s not easy for her to take care of a child alone now. Don’t ask her to pay the hospital fees again.”
Daisy glared at him. “I raised her for more than twenty years. Can’t I ask her to pay some medical fees? Isn’t that her duty? So what if she has a child? She insisted on bringing that burden with her! How can you blame me?” Frederick frowned. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
“She’s just an ingrate. We have to force her! When she has no other way out, she’ll give her child to Brian. I thought she would earn some money for us before. However… What a waste of her good looks and more than twenty years of efforts from us!” Grace did not bring any benefits to the Sherman family! The more Daisy thought about that, the angrier she became. She said viciously, “If I had known that earlier, I would have sold her back then!”
Frederick looked at her in shock. “What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!”
Frederick was still ill. Daisy did not want to argue with him and shut her mouth awkwardly.
As soon as Grace returned home, Carson noticed that something was wrong.
“Grace, what’s wrong?”
Grace shook her head in a daze. “I’m fine. I’ll go buy groceries. Send them to Dad later.”
Seeing her upset face, Carson was worried about letting her out, so he said, “I’ll go buy some. Stay at home and take care of Austin.”
Grace looked at him and nodded. “Okay.”
