Bab 187: You’re Late! What Took You Do Long?

"Have you heard from Bill?" Grace asked when they were outside the ward and out of earshot.

Since the day Mrs Gales was rushed for emergency, he had been missing and no one had the time to worry about his disappearance as he was an insignificant factor… whether he was there or not did not make any difference to them. 

"Hmm, that one, he appeared some days ago with the lousy excuse that he just couldn't watch Mom die, so he went somewhere to pray for her survival. Can you believe that?"

"Leaving you alone to handle everything? Such a filial son." Grace's nose turned up in disgust. 

"Bill will never fail to surprise one.

Later he will claim he is the elder brother who demands respect,"

"Respect my foot. He has lost that from me forever. I don't consider him a member of this family again," Wendy declared.
