CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: THAT’S RIGHT, SHE DID IT ON PURPOSE

Nathaniel Gallagher glared angrily, turning to look at Josephine Thompson on the hospital bed, his tone as cold as frost, "Josephine Thompson, you’ve gone too far! Mrs. Dixon is already so old, how could you do such a thing?"

Josephine Thompson seemed not to hear him, her face calm, nonchalantly scrolling through videos on her phone.

Indeed, she was being deliberate!

She never actively bullied anyone, much less those weaker than her.

But if someone wanted to bully her, she would fight back without mercy.

"I’m talking to you, did you hear me? Is this intentional?"

Josephine remained indifferent, no matter what he said, she wouldn’t respond.

Nathaniel Gallagher was so enraged his heart choked, a flare of anger surged to his head.

"I’ll ask you again, is this intentional?"

"..." Josephine didn’t even lift her eyes, silently continuing to scroll her phone.

She actually despised cold violence.

But if she had to use cold violence, no one could be colder than her.

She could mentally block and ignore everything about the other person.

Nathaniel Gallagher was utterly furious, the veins on his temples popped.

He suddenly flung the covers aside, grabbed her hospital gown, and lifted her to sit up, "I’m asking you, why do this?"

"Speak, don’t anger me!"

Josephine still remained silent, neither arguing nor explaining, let alone quarreling with him!

"President Gallagher, she’s doing it purposely, intentionally targeting us mother and daughter. The young lady is so heartless, she wants to force me and Vivian to death... wailing..."

As the last nail was pulled out, Mrs. Dixon screamed more fiercely.

"Doctor, hurry and take Mrs. Dixon for treatment."

"Alright, President Gallagher."

A few nurses came forward, lifted Mrs. Dixon onto a stretcher, and hurriedly pushed her away.

Mrs. Dixon continued to cry out in pain, "Oh my, I nearly lost my old life. Will my leg ever walk again? Will I be crippled?"

"Don’t worry, it’s just flesh pain, very unlikely to be crippling."

After Mrs. Dixon was pushed out.

"Josephine, I’ll ask you one last time, why do this? You knew Mrs. Dixon was my nanny, it would’ve been enough to ignore her usually, why mess with her like this?" Nathaniel Gallagher said, shaking her collar vigorously.

He was really hopping mad.

He also discovered for the first time her personality was so stubborn, so headstrong, it was simply unbelievable.

"Speak!" Nathaniel shook her hard again in exasperation.

Just then.

Master Thompson came to the hospital, just in time to see this scene.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing, Nathaniel Gallagher instinctively released Josephine, "...Grandfather, why are you here?"

Master Thompson’s face was full of shock and anger, he took a few steps forward, coldly pushing Nathaniel Gallagher away from the bedside, "What were you just doing to Josephine?"

"...I...I didn’t do anything!"

"Did you want to lay a hand on Josephine?"

Master Thompson’s trembling fingers, his cloudy eyes full of rage: "Nathaniel Gallagher, don’t forget, Josephine grew up in the palm of my hand! How dare you touch her in the hospital?"

He said, turning carefully to help the collapsed Josephine on the bed, "Josephine, don’t be afraid, Grandpa is here. With Grandpa around, no one can bully you."

Josephine, who had been maintaining her composure, nearly collapsed at this moment, her voice choked with tears: "Grandpa, I want to go home."

"Alright, Grandpa will take you home."

"You guys go and handle the discharge procedures immediately, we’ll go home to recuperate."

Nathaniel Gallagher opened his mouth, guiltfully trying to defend: "Grandpa, it’s better for Josephine to stay in the hospital."

Master Thompson’s face was stern, "Move aside, I want to take my granddaughter home."

"Before Josephine’s body has healed well, I won’t let you see her."

After speaking, Master Thompson directly ordered someone to pack up.

Then, despite Nathaniel Gallagher’s and the doctor’s pleas, forcibly took Josephine out of the hospital.

The Thornton Family has the top private doctors and medical facilities.

Recuperating at home is better than being in the hospital.

If worse comes to worse, they can transfer to an overseas hospital. In short, Master Thompson doesn’t feel secure leaving his granddaughter in a Gallagher Family-run hospital now.

After all, the Thornton Family has only her as their sole offspring. If the Gallaghers want to extinguish the Thornton lineage, they might harm the granddaughter.

...

Forty minutes later.

Master Thompson brought Josephine to another Thornton Family residence—the Verdant Hill Villa.

After all, Josephine has just had a miscarriage, not suitable to stay at the ancestral home.

"Josephine, just rest assured and stay here during this period!"

"Grandpa has already arranged medical staff and caregivers to provide you with the best care."

Josephine’s eyes turned red, choking up as she said, "Mm, thank you, Grandpa."

Master Thompson looked at her with a face full of heartache, worriedly advising, "Silly child, if you’re wronged, be sure to tell Grandpa, don’t keep it bottled up inside!"

Josephine took a heavy breath, "Grandpa, I’m afraid you’ll be upset, I want to divorce Nathaniel Gallagher."

"No need to say anymore, Grandpa has found the best lawyer for you. Grandpa doesn’t want you to divorce but seeing the attitude of the Gallaghers towards you, Grandpa really can’t feel at ease."

"Grandpa..."

Master Thompson let out a heavy sigh, "Grandpa was too rash, didn’t guard you well initially."

Josephine frowned slightly, with a tinge of regret in her voice: "Grandpa, don’t say that, it’s fate."

"Back then, I was also too hasty, shouldn’t have rushed into marriage without fully understanding the other side."

Four years ago.

After she separated from Julian Grant, she was really hurt. After all, he was her first love.

Thus, she went to matchmaking with a sense of rebellion.

And Nathaniel Gallagher, being seasoned in romance and exceptional in every way, easily caught her—a naive bunny inexperienced in the world.

"No need to say anything more, focus on recovering your health now."

"Tomorrow I’ll have Lawyer Kane and Lawyer Lynch come over to make a divorce plan. Our Thompson Family can give up everything, but we must fight for Henny’s custody."

"Grandpa estimates the Gallaghers won’t easily give up Henny’s custody either, so you must be mentally prepared!"

"Grandpa isn’t worried about anything else, Grandpa’s mainly afraid you won’t bear to part with the child!"

Josephine’s heart ached, "Grandpa, actually Henny..."

She wanted to tell Grandpa about Henny’s blood type problem and her suspicions.

There’s a high probability Henny isn’t her child.

But right now there’s no substantial evidence to prove it.

"What’s wrong with Henny? Grandpa knows you’re reluctant, don’t worry, Grandpa will have the lawyer fight for Henny’s custody with full effort."

Josephine felt heavy-hearted, "Grandpa, leave it to fate! If we can win, that’d be best! If not, let the Gallagher Family have him!"

"..." Master Thompson listened, somewhat surprised as he looked at his granddaughter.

He had always worried she wouldn’t bear to part with the child.

Unexpectedly, she seemed more open than he thought.

"You can really bear to part with the child?"

"Grandpa, it’s not a matter of bearing or not, it’s just that..." Josephine choked, swallowing her words!

Without confirmation yet, it’s better not to hastily conclude.

She plans to go elsewhere to do another DNA test.

In any case, she must clarify the truth. She can give up the child’s custody, but cannot be kept in the dark by Nathaniel Gallagher.

Seeing his granddaughter’s sad appearance, Master Thompson felt even more heartache, "Don’t think too much, regardless of the issue, first recover your health. Grandpa is afraid you’re sad, even more afraid you can’t think straight."

"No, Grandpa don’t worry about me, I will take good care of my health."

"Then Grandpa is relieved."
