Chapter 187 Call Him Back
I smiled lightly, quickly shaking my head and said, “Grandma, you misunderstood. I came to see you, not to complain about him. I know he’s busy, I don’t blame him for not coming home.”
Carley greeted me with a smile, either praising me for being sensible or blaming herself for being too harsh on me in the past two years. She admitted it was her fault.
She had said these words many times before, and I had long since become numb to them in my heart.
She was so kind to me now because she didn’t know that Henry had already died, so she wanted to keep me by Walter’s side to continue suppressing Ashley
Just a lot had happened these days. I wonder if she knew that Henry was dead, and that Ashley was no longer pregnant, that no one in the world could threaten her anymore, would she still continue to match me with Walter?
“Tabatha, I had an accident before, I heard from Dale that he told you about what happened that year,” Carley suddenly said to me.
I was taken aback for a moment, unable to react immediately. Only when I grasped the probing and warning in her aged eyes did I suddenly understand, involuntarily turning to look at Dale who was standing aside.
At that moment, he stood respectfully to the side, his expression unchanged. However, his hands, tightly clenched at his sides, betrayed his nervousness.

Indeed, an accident killed three hundred people. Back then, this incident was tightly covered up. If it weren’t for Henry suddenly making a fuss, no one else would have known about this accident.
This matter was a matter of life and death. If even a hint of rumor leaked out, even if it was baseless, it would be enough to throw the Hinton family into chaos, let alone the fact that it was true.
Once the truth was revealed, the prosperity of the Hinton family was essentially over with this generation!
Knowing the consequences this matter would bring, I looked at Carley and began to speak, “Grandma, I…”
“That old man burdened the Hinton family with the lives of hundreds of people. I know, even if he’s dead, there’s no way to atone for this.” Before I could speak, Carley directly opened her mouth, looking at me and said, “Tabatha, Walter and William don’t know about this. The sins committed by the elders of the Hinton family, I will atone for them, can you…”
Knowing what she wanted to say, I spoke up, “I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Just as things came to a halt, and Carley and I had just finished our conversation, the door to the ward was pushed open. The person who came in was Walter.
Seeing me there, Walter paused slightly, walking to the bedside. He looked at Carley and asked, “Grandma, what’s wrong? Dale said you urgently wanted me to come over, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Carley looked at him, her eyebrows furrowed, and said seriously, “Can’t I call you over if I’m not in trouble? Tell me honestly, where were you last night?”
Suddenly questioned, Walter was slightly taken aback. He looked at

Carley and said, “I was in…” Before he could finish, he seemed to have thought of something and looked up at me, his eyes filled with inquiry.
I was just about to speak when Walter’s phone suddenly rang. As he reached out to answer it, Carley suddenly spoke up, “What? Are you already so busy? You’ve just arrived here and you’re already preparing to leave?”
Walter glanced at the caller ID, a hint of helplessness on his handsome face as he looked at Carley and said, “Grandma, what are you talking about? It’s Roy calling about company matters. If you’re not happy, I won’t answer.”
Saying so, he hung up the phone, it seemed as if he was coaxing a child.
Who said it wasn’t? When people get old, aren’t they just like children?
Seeing him like this, Carley’s stern face couldn’t hold back a bit. She pursed her l*ps, trying to keep her composure, but her words softened a bit, “You accompany Tabatha for breakfast later. She came to see me early, and you, I don’t know where you’ve run off to. Neither your wife nor your grandmother is accompanying you. I think you don’t want this” family anymore.”
Walter had a smile on his face, nodded gently in response, but his dark eyes were slightly squinted as he looked at me.
In front of Carley, I just held a smile, acting as if I knew nothing else.
After speaking a few words, Carley became tired and asked Walter to take me out for breakfast, as she needed to sleep.
Once out of the ward, Walter didn’t say a word, just squinted at me with his dark eyes. I knew what he wanted to say, so I simply said, “Grandma asked me why I didn’t come to see her with you. I just said I didn’t know, so she called you.”

He hooked his l*ps, “Really?” His dark eyes looked at me, his voice neither cold nor warm, he said a baffling sentence, “You rarely come to see her so early.”
That being said, I must have had an ulterior motive.
