Lise feigned concern and advised, “Katelyn, I understand your distress regarding Carol, but you must remain aware of the circumstances and show some respect and decorum.”

Katelyn regarded them with a frosty stare and stated in a resolute tone, “Once I verify her condition, I will depart without delay.”

Merely examining the current medical data and reports wasn’t enough; she needed to determine the exact moment when Carol’s health began its steep decline.

She only partially believed the family doctor’s assertions. Given that the Wheeler family employed a professional medical team, a mere cold could hardly explain such a significant deterioration in Carol’s health. Katelyn needed precise diagnostic data to evaluate Carol’s condition and determine the proper medication.

For elderly patients, treatment and medication had to be managed with the utmost care and caution, as their bodies often couldn’t endure significant stress or stimuli.

Mabel’s face flushed with rage. She stepped forward, her finger jabbing emphatically at Katelyn. “You’re incredibly audacious! Do you really think I won’t take action against you? Lise, call the police immediately. I intend to press charges for unlawful entry.”

A flicker of hesitation crossed Lise’s eyes, as though she felt compelled to comply. Just as she was about to dial the final number, a chilling voice suddenly resonated from the doorway. “Wait.”

Neil appeared at the door, already aware of the chaos unfolding inside. A knowing glimmer sparked in his dark eyes as he realized Katelyn was there to stir up trouble. Since Katelyn had approached him alone, he decided there would be no mercy.

Lise clenched her teeth, put her phone away, and stepped forward, feigning concern. “Neil, you need to talk some sense into Katelyn. She’s out of control—she just attacked a few of the Wheeler family’s guards at the door.”

Katelyn maintained a steady, unbothered gaze on them. Even with their threat of calling the police, there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes. Nothing mattered more than Carol. Right now, Katelyn was even determined to take her away, regardless of the risks—though she knew it was impossible. Get full chapters from Find~Novel.net

She took a deep breath and spoke with calm determination. “Carol recognized me as her sworn granddaughter, and that makes her my Grandma. Now that she’s unwell, isn’t it only natural that I visit her? Why are you all so eager to keep me out? Or is there something wrong—something you’re hiding?”

Katelyn had considered this possibility. Everything had seemed fine at the birthday banquet. Even if Carol’s condition could be loosely blamed on medication side effects, her sudden decline felt far too rapid.

If someone truly had an issue with the land deal and was targeting Carol, why did the family doctor say her health had been deteriorating since the spring? It was unusual for someone healthy to weaken so suddenly.

Katelyn couldn’t help but prepare for the worst.

A hint of malice flashed in Neil’s eyes as he turned his wheelchair.
