The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 242

“Dad, maybe Citrine… maybe she doesn’t want us to bother her.” Sawyer pressed his lips together, clearly uneasy.

Holbrook let out a weary sigh and said quietly, “The person I’ve wronged the most in this life is Citrine. I don’t have much time left. I just want to see her one last time.”

“Alright. I promise I’ll do it.” Sawyer couldn’t stand hearing Holbrook talk like that and immediately agreed.

The next day, Citrine received a call from an unknown number—Sawyer’s.

When she learned that Holbrook wanted to see her before he died, the news caught her off guard.

After all, Holbrook had always treated her, his adopted daughter, with open disdain.

She didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to see her, but the thought of witnessing his misery at the end of his life made the visit feel worthwhile.

Half an hour later, Citrine arrived at the hospital, following Sawyer’s directions.

“Sawyer!” he called, waving as soon as he saw her approach the entrance.

Citrine strode over, her face expressionless. She didn’t even glance at Sawyer, her voice cool and detached. “Lead the way.”

Sawyer pressed his lips together, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. With a forced smile, he led Citrine down the hall to a standard hospital room.

Stepping inside, Citrine glanced around. A trace of mockery flashed through her eyes.

Holbrook had lived half his life in luxury. He probably never imagined he’d end up like this—unable to afford even a private hospital suite in his old age.

How pitiful.
