Chapter 787
Cassian did not seem to realize where he was. He seemed a little confused as he surveyed his surroundings. His dazed expression only dissipated char his gaze finally landed on Raven, “L…
As soon as he tried to speak, he found that his voice was extremely hoarse.
Raven quickly reached for the flask on the bedside table and tried to pour him a glass of water, but the flask was empty. Even the glass was covered in a thick layer of dust.
It was clear that the Cherry family did not take Cassian seriously at all. They could not even be bothered to cater to his daily needs.
“I’ll go get you a glass of water.” Raven picked up the flask and went downstairs to get water.
Just as she entered the kitchen, Mack Cherry and the other family members came into the house. They rushed straight to Cassian’s room on the second floor. “Cassian!”
Tuesday Lysander was the first to barge into the room and act like a loving mother. “Are you okay?”
Cassian had fully regained consciousness. Other than his limbs being a little sore and weak due to the sedative, everything was normal. “If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to put on an act in front of me.”
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so obsessed and tried to pressure you into donating your heart to Felipe.” Tuesday dabbed at her eyes and came
to Cassian’s bed.
“I know my mistake now. Please forgive me this time, my child. I promise you that this will never happen again. I will take good care of you.
“As for Felipe’s heart disease, we’ll find another suitable heart donor for him or find a way to treat him without changing his heart. In short, such an incident will never happen again.”
Tuesday’s words sounded very sincere. If Cassian had not seen through her true colors earlier, he would have believed her lies.
The older man, Mack Cherry, also said hypocritically, “My child, our family has made you suffer. I promise you that no one will ever do anything to hurt you again.”
Cassian raised his eyebrows slightly. Tuesday’s behavior was more or less within his expectations, but what kind of act was Mack Cherry putting on? Even Tuesday did not feel much regret, let alone this old man who was not related to him by blood at all.
As he did not know what these two were up to, Cassian simply watched them icily from a distance. “I don’t need your apologies. Besides, you’re not my grandfather.”
“My child, you can’t say that. Your mother married into the Cherry family, so you’re also a member of the Cherry family. Naturally, that makes me your grandfather.” Mack Cherry explained earnestly.
“I know you feel aggrieved, but it doesn’t matter. We’re all family, and we can settle all our differences amicably. From now on, the Cherry family will be your family. No one will stop you from doing whatever you want. I’ll also treat you as my biological grandson.”
“Cassian, see? The Cherry family has already accepted you. Don’t be angry with us anymore.” Tuesday looked at Cassian anxiously.
“You’re new to this place in Forreb. We’re the only ones you can rely on.”
When Cassian heard this, he gave a scornful snort. “Rely on you guys? For what? To tie me to the operating table and dig out my heart? Or rely on you guys to make me a live–in son–in–law in another family in exchange for investments for you guys?
“Tuesday Lysander, do you really think I don’t know why you came back to Vyrdenia to look for me? Surely you haven’t fooled yourself into thinking you’re a good mother because you have been acting in this role for too long?”
