Chapter 197
Miranda said, “Mat, I have no money. Shouldn’t you give me some? I’m your Mom.”
She didn’t dare to spend a penny on anything except for the hotel and food. She even used a taxi application and paid the fee using her credit card.
Without money, Miranda didn’t know what she could do.
She didn’t know where Yulissa had been recently and why she hadn’t come back yet.
Matthew said, “I have no money. Don’t you have some private money? Why are you asking me for money?” He sounded a bit disdainful. He didn’t want to look straight at Miranda.
Hearing Matthew mention her private money, Miranda became angrier. She said, “It’s your brothers‘ fault. They stole every penny of my money. I don’t have any money now.”
Matthew was not surprised. At least his brothers had left him some money although it wasn’t in his bank account.
He was afraid that Miranda found his card and transferred the money to her account. He would lose everything then.
He snorted coldly. “You spent billions of dollars on Yulissa without hesitation. Why are you so upset that your sons split just tens of millions of dollars?”
Miranda’s expression immediately changed. She felt a bit guilty. She said, “What are you talking about? Just tens of millions of dollars? It’s everything that we can depend on. What are we supposed to do now? Your father needs money.”
Matthew suddenly thought that it was a tragedy for him to have a mother like Miranda.
Fortunately, Cassandra didn’t belong to the Yates family.
Matthew said, “Dad’s medical bill has been paid. What you really care about is yourself. It’s you who needs money.”
Miranda shouted, “Matthew!”
Miranda and Matthew kept arguing with each other in the ward and no one cared about Benjamin, who was lying on the bed.
Benjamin’s fingers suddenly moved slightly and his eyes moved too.
Suddenly, he made a muffled groan. He sounded like he was in pain.
The quarrel between Matthew and Miranda came to an abrupt end.
Matthew turned to Benjamin in disbelief. He heard Benjamin groaning in pain on the bed and noticed that his hands were moving.
He thought, ‘Is Dad waking up?”

He quickly realized what was happening. He immediately went to find the doctor but Miranda just stood there motionless.
She was suddenly afraid that Benjamin would wake up now and settle the scores with her.
She thought to herself, ‘No, it’s not going to happen.
The doctor said that even if he woke up, he would be hemiplegic. What am I afraid of?
‘Anyway, he can’t do anything to me now.
Soon, the doctor came to give Benjamin a brief examination and said in surprise, “He is indeed conscious now. You have taken good care of him. There are very few patients like him who become conscious again. I will tell the precautions to the nurses later and you should also keep them in
mind.”
After Benjamin woke up, Matthew sent a message to the chat group with his brothers to tell them the news.
But after a long time, no one replied to him.
The next day, Kayden came to Springmount Townhouse and blocked Cassandra’s way after she walked out of the gate.
Kayden said, “Cassie, I have something to tell you.”
He had been putting up with it for so long and he couldn’t stand it anymore. He thought he must apologize to Cassandra in person.
He knew he had said something wrong yesterday.
Cassandra asked, “Mr. Yates, what can I do for you?
Cassandra didn’t directly refuse Kayden as she did to Leonardo..
Kayden felt a little embarrassed. But he didn’t beat around the bush. “I’m sorry for what happened yesterday. I shouldn’t have questioned your capability or treated you like that.”
Cassandra was stunned for a moment and then she remembered that he was talking about what happened yesterday in the Yates residence. She shook her head and said, “It doesn’t matter. I understand it.
Cassandra’s tone was flat, not showing any emotion. Kayden did not know her very well so he thought that she really didn’t care about it.
Kayden was delighted. “Really?”
He thought, That’s great!‘
He added, “Grandpa is awake. He wants to see you. Do you have time…”

Cassandra raised her eyes and said coldly, “Mr. Yates, if you don’t want me to say anything to him again, you should give up this idea.

“Yesterday, I made it very clear that the relationship between me and your family would never change.”
Kayden’s smile froze on his lips. “Are you still blaming us?
“What happened yesterday is our fault. We were just too worried about Grandpa. The doctor had. told us that his mood must stay stable so we said those hurtful things to you. I’m so sorry. Please forgive us.”
Kayden bowed slightly to Cassandra.
Cassandra said, “Mr. Yates, your family is already a loving and happy one. Why do you insist on me joining you? Your solidarity is enviable. But it’s not what I need.”
When Cassandra was reminded of what happened when they unanimously attacked her yesterday. she knew that they were just feeling guilty and they didn’t really want her to join them.
She had suffered for 18 years because they were late. They just didn’t want to be haunted by guilt so they wanted her back.
When they questioned and criticized Cassandra unanimously, it was decided that they would end
up strangers.
Kayden recalled what he, his mother, and her aunt said to Cassandra yesterday too.
He turned pale in an instant.
He murmured, “L…”
Cassandra said, “Mr. Yates, you are Kenne’s friend so I’m willing to talk with you now. But it doesn’t mean that I have to listen to you. The Yates family is not something that everyone wants. Why do I have to accept you?
“Blossom, who adopted me, was seriously ill when I was ten years old. She didn’t survive a year. In the next seven or eight years, I had a good life. You should know what kind of person I am since you are close to Kenne. For me, having a family or not is no longer important.”
In her previous life, she was too obsessed with family so she almost lost her life.
She had been killed by her stupidity once. She decided not to make the same mistake twice.
Even though it was a different family, she thought it wouldn’t make a difference.
Kayden suddenly didn’t know what to do. He even felt like his feet had taken root in the ground and he couldn’t move at all.
He didn’t know how to respond to Cassandra. He only knew that what they had done yesterday had. really hurt her.
He said, “Cassie, it’s not like that…”
Chapter 197
Kayden was about to explain but Cassandra directly interrupted him. “Call me Ms. Yates. You can also call me Emery like everyone in the information security department.”
Kayden thought, ‘I can’t even call her Cassie?
What should I do?”
Just when he was at a loss, he saw someone walking toward them. He thought, “Thomas?”
Thomas said, “You’re my idol. I finally found you.”
Thomas took off his sunglasses. He found the bright sunlight a bit harsh so he frowned. He said, “Where are you going?”
His mother took him here. He happened to hear the conversation between Kayden and Cassandra just now. He panicked.
Cassandra said, “I’m going to Whitecrane Hall. Why are you here?”
Her attitude toward Thomas was somehow much better. Perhaps it was because he didn’t call her Cassie.
Thomas said, “I’m here for you. You saved my life during the show. Of course, I should express my gratitude for you.”
Cassandra said, “No need. It’s not a big deal. If you really feel grateful to me, buy some supplementary food for that old lady.”
