NovelGoldChapter 83 Sienna choked back tears as she haltingly explained the situation.
Everyone knew about the Montgomery family. Mr. Eugene, the black sheep of the family, wasn't favored by the elders. He had been sent away from the family estate at a young age to live on his own, raised under the care of nannies and housekeepers.
However, Mr. Eugene had always been peculiar, disliking the bustling company of others in his mansion. As he grew older, he dismissed all the staff, allowing only a weekly housekeeper to tidy up his home.
Yesterday was supposed to be the day for cleaning, but Sienna had something cup and couldn't make it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she finally arrived in the evening, she found Mr. Eugene collapsed on the floor, unconscious. His face was as pale as a freshly painted wall, drenched in cold sweat.
Sienna was beside herself with fear and immediately called for an ambulance. However, as an outsider, she couldn't sign any documents, nor did she dare to. With Mr. Eugene still unconscious and unable to reach any other Montgomery family members, she turned to Mila for help.
After all, in Sienna's eyes, Mrs. Montgomery was the only one in the family who showed any kindness towards Mr. Eugene. She occasionally visited his mansion to check on him and had even left her contact information with the staff for emergencies.
Little did she know, it would be needed today, and in such a dire situation.
"You saved the day, Mrs. Montgomery! I can't thank you enough! You have no idea how scared I was. I'm just an ordinary person; how could I handle the life of such a precious young master?" Sienna sobbed, wiping her tears away.
Mila listened, trying to soothe her, though her mind was racing with questions.
She had heard rumors at the old estate that her mother-in-law, Felicity, had been unwell after giving birth to Eugene, suffering from a severe illness and postpartum depression. That's why he was sent away. But even now, after all these years, they couldn't bear to see him? That made sense to Mila, but what perplexed her was why her father-in-law, Conrad, and his brother, Lysander, also kept their distance. One was Eugene's father, the other his brother. Their indifference to his life-threatening condition was baffling. Did they actually wish him dead? What kind of family was this...
Mila rubbed her aching temples.
Well, she would help this one last time. After the divorce, the Montgomery family's troubles would no longer be her concern, and they could do as they pleased.
Mila paid the medical and surgical fees and kept the receipts, preparing to leave.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing her about to go, Sienna panicked, clutching Mrs. Montgomery's hand and wailing, "Mrs. Montgomery, I can't handle this on my own! What if something happens after you leave?" Her cries grated on Mila's nerves.
She thought for a moment. She had already signed the papers, so she might as well stay until Eugene was out of surgery.
She originally intended to call her great-aunt to explain the situation but decided it was better to tell her in person. After reassuring Sienna that she would return, Mila headed towards the health center.
Her great-aunt had already been displeased by her earlier departure.
When Mila mentioned it was about the Montgomery family, her face darkened further. "Why bother with their family problems? They don't even take care of their own!"
Mila sighed, "Aunt Jade, I can't help but think of him as one of us. When I was little! I was also neglected by my parents..." "That's completely different!" Jade disagreed, "No matter how tough his situation, he was still raised in luxury. You had it much worse." Mila smiled gently, "Aunt Jade, it's all in the past now." "Fine, fine."
Jade, though unhappy, understood her niece's sentiments. Waying her hand, she said, you're too clever with words: I can't win against you. Go if you must."
"Aunt Jade, once your check-up is done, have Secretary Sophie take you hto rest. No need to wait for me."
