“Matilda wants 15,000, I think it’s too much for us.”
“That’s easy. We’ll fire Matilda, and you will stay home to care for Grandpa. By the way, Grandpa has an inspection tomorrow morning and needs a family member to accompany him. I’m busy tomorrow morning. Why don’t you take some time off and accompany Grandpa to the hospital?”
“I can’t do it tomorrow.”
“Helene, one of the conditions for me to marry you is you taking care of my grandfather. You can’t do anything. Why should I marry you?”
Helene was speechless.
“My grandma is going to have an operation, so I will go to the hospital to accompany her tomorrow. After my grandma has the operation, I will quit my job and stay home to care for Grandpa.”
“I can wait, but my grandfather can’t.” Carlisle’s eyes became colder and colder, and the anger on his face was undeniable.
“Helene, don’t be too selfish. Your grandma is sick and needs to be taken care of. What about my grandpa? What did you promise me when we got married?”
“That’s right. Why didn’t you consider it clearly when you got 500,000 bride tokens? Since you promised to do it, you should do it.” Matilda added fuel to the flames on the side.

Helene’s eyes gradually turned red.
She was very disappointed that the man who had risked his life to save her yesterday became so cold-blooded and ruthless today. She shouldn’t have wanted so much.
“Okay, I’ll take Grandpa for an examination tomorrow.” Helene ran back to the room crying.
Matilda snorted coldly, “Mr. Bamford, you must not soften your heart. A girl of such a background likes to take advantage, and she never thinks about others.”
Carlisle looked at Matilda coldly, “Matilda, you should be content and do everything in moderation. Don’t treat others. as fools.”
Carlisle’s sharp eyes startled Matilda.
Helene felt so wronged, not because she couldn’t accompany her grandma tomorrow but because she found Carlisle’s attitude unacceptable.
If Carlisle had a good discussion with her, she would find a way to care for his grandpa and her grandma. Carlisle’s cold attitude made her very upset.
After crying for a while, Helene picked up her m phone and called Zion, asking him to spend time with their grandma
tomorrow.
It took Zion a long time to answer the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, there was arguing from Zion’s side.
“Zion, what’s wrong? It’s so noisy.”

“It’s okay, Helene. What’s it?” Before Zion could finish his sentence, there was a quarrel on the other end of the phone.
“Zion, here are the shabby clothes your sister gave me!”
“Lavinia, don’t be so unreasonable. How did my sister offend you?”
“What’s wrong with me being unreasonable? You are a good- for-nothing man, and you talk about your sister daily. Why don’t you marry your sister?”
“Lavinia, aren’t you ashamed?”
The noise on Zion’s side got louder and louder. Helene hung up the phone silently, suddenly feeling unprecedented powerlessness.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden heavy rain.
The sound of thunder awakened Helene. She realized that she had brought the blanket from the study, and Carlisle had nothing to cover at night.
She picked up the blanket and pushed the door a few times. The wind was so strong, and she finally made the door open with difficulty. The heavy rain hurt her face. She walked along the eaves to the entrance of the study.
She found that the lights were still on in the study. But with the curtains drawn, she couldn’t see if Carlisle was asleep.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Her back was wet from the rain, but she tightly protected the

blanket in her arms from the rain.

Then she knocked on the door again. Carlisle’s dull voice came from inside, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s getting cold at night. I’m bringing you the blanket.”
After Helene said it, there was no movement in the room. In a while, she was shivering from the cold. Thinking that Carlisle would not open the door, she was about to turn around when the door finally opened.
Carlisle stood at the door with messy hair. His shirt was loose, and his neckline was wide open. He looked weak like he was about to fall in a second.
“What’s wrong with you?” Helene touched Carlisle’s forehead nervously.
But the moment she touched his forehead, she was blocked by him.
“I’m fine.” Carlisle took the blanket from Helene’s hands and
was about to close the door.
Helene reached out her hand to block it and asked nervously, “Are you sick?”
“Helene, stop pretending to care about me. I’m afraid I might misunderstand…”
“Misunderstand what?” Helene was stunned.
Seeing that she was still playing dumb, Carlisle couldn’t help laughing at himself. He had overestimated himself.
Apart from his grandpa, who else in this world cared about

him?
So Carlisle closed the door without hesitation. Helene put her hand through the door crack without thinking, but it was too late.
The door was slammed shut, and her two fingertips were pinched and swollen. She almost cried out in pain.
Helene waited for a while. Seeing that Carlisle didn’t intend to open the door, she had no choice but to turn around and leave.
The next day, Helene woke up very early. She first contacted Zion and asked him to accompany their grandma for today’s preoperative examination.
Then she came to the study and saw that the study door was ajar, so she pushed the door and walked in.
It was the first time for Helene to enter Carlisle’s study. The layout inside was simple, with a desk, a chair, a single bed, and a bookcase against one wall.
Although simple, all the furniture was mahogany, so it shouldn’t be cheap.
A box of cold medicine and half a glass of water were on the desk. It seemed that Carlisle had taken the drug in the morning and left.
Helene turned around and was about to leave when she found
a book about to fall off the bookcase. She walked over to straighten the book.
At this moment, a photo fell out of the book.

It was a picture of Carlisle with a girl by the sea. The girl was wearing a bikini and had a hot body.
The two were holding hands, and the girl had a happy smile. Compared to her, Carlisle looked a little severe. But with her intimate demeanor, they looked like a couple.
Helene’s heart suddenly trembled.
She put the photo back and closed the door of the study.
Grandpa would check on an empty stomach, so Helene didn’t have breakfast either.
At 8:30, Helene accompanied Grandpa to the hospital, which happened to be the hospital where her grandma stayed. But Old Mr. Bamford made an appointment with a well-known foreign expert from the International Department.
Before the doctor arrived, Helene waited in the lounge with
Old Mr. Bamford.
Old Mr. Bamford asked about her grandma’s illness and said that after her grandma’s operation, the two families should meet and get to know each other.
Helene looked hesitant. She hadn’t told her grandma about her flash marriage for fear that her grandma’s overthinking would affect her condition.
Old Mr. Bamford saw that Helene’s expression was wrong, so he asked if Carlisle had forced her to sign the prenuptial agreement. He said that if that were the case, he would never allow Carlisle to divorce her.
Helene knew that the prenuptial agreement disturbed Old Mr.

Bamford, so she comforted, “Grandpa, I signed the prenuptial agreement voluntarily, but I know that marriage should not be trifled with. As long as Carlisle does not ask for a divorce, I will not divorce him.”
When Helene said this,/she thought of the photo she had seen in the study in the morning. She believed the girl in the image must be Carlisle’s first girlfriend. He still kept that photo, probably because he hadn’t gotten over it.
