When these words were spoken, the temperature in the room dropped to zero, even Joel Quinn’s expression changed.
Ethan Grant gave them one last cold glance and turned to leave the ward.
After he left, the atmosphere in the ward was tense and cold. Zoe Quinn started crying aloud, grabbing Claire Sullivan’s hand beside her, "Has Ethan really given up on me?"
It’s not about giving up; he never wanted her in the first place.
Claire Sullivan looked at Zoe with swollen red eyes and noticed the bleeding from her wrist. She calmly said, "I’ll call the doctor for you."
Today, her reaction seemed strange.
In the past, if Ethan had said he didn’t want Zoe, Claire would have jumped up to question him just like Ruth Hale. Follow current novᴇls on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Zoe Quinn felt Claire Sullivan seemed absent-minded. After calling out, she looked up at Joel Quinn beside her.
Joel Quinn’s gaze fell on Claire Sullivan, and he frowned.
"Claire, aren’t you going to do something about this?" Ruth Hale walked to Claire Sullivan’s side and asked displeasedly.
"How should I intervene?" Claire Sullivan replied calmly.
Ethan Grant still loves Serena Sullivan. Although she didn’t want the two of them together, would intervening make any difference?
The Grant Family used so many tactics to separate them back then, yet four years later, Ethan Grant still married Serena Sullivan!
"If not for her, would Zoe be driven to attempt suicide?"
Ruth Hale’s expression darkened as she spoke more angrily, "It’s still all about Serena Sullivan. As long as she doesn’t cling to Ethan Grant, Ethan will naturally come back to Zoe."
Zoe Quinn nodded in agreement with Ruth Hale.
If not for Serena, Ethan would eventually be hers.
"You want me to go find Serena Sullivan!"
Claire Sullivan pressed her lips and asked, her voice light with a hint of self-mockery, "She’s no longer my daughter."
Thinking of Serena Sullivan not wanting her as a mother, Claire Sullivan felt particularly pained.
"Claire, I see you just don’t want to deal with it."
Ignoring the pain in Claire Sullivan’s eyes, Ruth Hale mocked, "Zoe isn’t your daughter. Why would you care about her affairs?"
"Exactly, now that Serena Sullivan is married to Ethan Grant, you have good days ahead. Why would you care about Zoe’s life or death?"
When Claire Sullivan first met Ruth Hale, she was a nobody, but Claire saw her talent for design and paid for her to find teachers and attend training classes.
Ruth Hale was arrogant, frank, and Claire Sullivan was used to it. Usually, such words didn’t affect her, but now, these remarks made her very uncomfortable.
Her expression immediately turned stern, and she suddenly stood up from the bedside, looking at Ruth Hale and coldly replied, "I’ve already told you, Serena Sullivan has severed our mother-daughter relationship, what more do you want from me!"
"For someone else’s daughter, I even lost my own daughter, yet you think I’m not good enough to Zoe!"
The misunderstandings and accusations against Serena at the "Final Draft" meeting, Ethan Grant’s questioning, one thing after another had set off Claire Sullivan. Now, with Ruth Hale’s words, Claire couldn’t bear it and didn’t want to listen.
She suddenly exploded in anger, startling both Zoe Quinn and Joel Quinn.
Zoe Quinn blinked, tears streaming down, but before she could call out "Mom," Claire Sullivan calmly said first, "I’ll call the doctor over."
"Claire," Joel Quinn hurriedly turned and followed her.
Watching the two of them leave one after another, Zoe Quinn held back her tears, and a fierce resolve emerged from her eyes.
Serena Sullivan, if Ethan Grant abandoned me, you won’t have a good life either.
Remembering Ethan bringing up Serena Sullivan’s departure from The Sullivan Family four years ago, a wave of panic surged in her heart. No, only a few of them knew about that, Serena wouldn’t tell Ethan.
"Zoe, we can’t be reckless with what comes next."
Ruth Hale pulled back her gaze from the doorway and pondered.
