Charlie froze, and the words he was about to say got stuck.

Heriberto walked in, stared at him, and said straight out, “Come with me!”

“Heriberto, even if your mom owed you a lot, she was still your real mother. Are you really going to just watch her die?” Charlie asked.

Heriberto heard that and his face instantly went cold.

He called Charlie out without mercy. “Don’t act like you care so much about my mom in front of me. You just want to take Zeke and Be back to Ardiham to show them off to the n, so they’ll stop having those thoughts they shouldn’t have.”

As he spoke, he gave a disdainful snort. “I’m just a little over thirty, still far from dying or getting senile, so you don’t need to overthink it.”

Iris listened to what he said and pretty much got it.

So, Charlie actually wanted to ask her to agree to take Ezekiel and Isabe back to Ardiham.

“Julian died, two years ago, you almost died too.”

He raised his voice, trembling, and kept questioning, “Did you ever think about how desperate your mom and I were when you were lying in the ICU, barely hanging on to life?”

Charlie turned to look at Iris again and pleaded, “Iris, I know Megan did a lot of stupid things to hurt you. But Zeke and Be are her real grandkids. Her biggest wish now is to see and hug Zeke and Be before she dies.”

“As long as the surgery was sessful, she wouldn’t die,” Heriberto said.

“The sess rate of the surgery was at most 50%, and for the other 50%, she could die on the operating table,” Charlie reminded him.

Yeah, there was still a 50% chance Megan wouldn’t make it off the operating table.

Even if Heriberto resented his mother, he still didn’t want her to die.

“When was the surgery?” Iris suddenly asked,

Charlie was happy and said right away, “One weekter.”

Heriberto also looked at Iris in surprise,

“Coincidentally, I was also nning to take Zeke and Be back to Ardiham to visit my grandma’s grave. If Madam Hale really wanted to see Zeke and Be that much, it’s not impossible,” Iris said.

If it really was like that, even if Ezekiel and Isabe believed her and wanted to stand up for her, being talked about like that still made them feel bad.

And she really was nning to go back to Ardiham.

Not just because of Marie’s death anniversary, but also because of what happened with Danica.

Danica’s three–year contract with Everett ended, she sessfully met the requirements on their bet agreement, and she got divorced from Everett, getting her freedom back.
