Chapter 302
Do Me a Favor
Harper had been silent since she entered the ward. After hearing Kimberly's question, she said to Benjamin calmly, "You go with Dr. Gene, and I'll see you in the parking lot." "Okay." Benjamin nodded in agreement and left with Yinson.
Harper and Kimberly looked at each other and walked to the end of the corridor. They stood before the window. Harper took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to say?" Kimberly pressed her lips, her eyes indifferent. "Are you blaming us?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," said Harper.
"Because Mom and Dad sent you to Grandma, you hate us, right?"
Harper glanced at her and said, "Is it important whether I hate you? You heard that Mom wanted to cut ties with me, which means it doesn't matter how I treat them, so why would you ask me?" "Harper, Mom and Dad have their reasons, so..."
"Is this all you want to say? If so, save it. I'm not them, and I can't take their perspectives, and you're not me, so don't try to persuade me, okay?"
Harper interrupted Kimberly. The two looked at each other in silence.
Harper finally couldn't bear it and said, "I don't think we can hide Dad's coma from the Mitchell Group's employees and the media. We need someone to calm the company now. You are the legitimate heir to the Mitchell family and the Mitchell Group. Now, you should shoulder the responsibilities as an heir."
Kimberly argued, "Don't call me an heir. You said you can't choose your background and parents. Do you think I can?"
"Kimberly, did you get me wrong?"
"No. You said these things because Mom and Dad treat me better, and you feel it's unfair. So you don't want to help the Mitchell family or Dad."
Harper sneered and said
indifferently, Do you think I'm calling
you an heir because I'm jealous?
Kimberly I'm just telling you in advance what kind of situation you will face. Of course, if you don't want to listen, there's nothing I can do." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Then, Harper turned and left.
No one in the Mitchell family gave her any good memories.
Although Harper had been accustomed to their indifference and distrust, she felt uncomfortable every time she faced them.
After leaving the hospital, Benjamin and Harper returned to the apartment.
She first went to explain the Mitchell family's situation to Eleanor. Then, Harper asked, "Grandma, am I being cruel by doing this?"
Eleanor understood Harper's ideas
and knew that she was kind. She comforted Harper and said, "Of course not. You have your reasons for thinking this. It's just you are unwilling to explain it to others so people tend to misunderstand you. Harper, the Mitchell family is your home no matter what. You have to do what you should do. Got it?"
Harper nodded. To reassure Eleanor, she said, "I see."
She always felt some ambivalence towards the Mitchell family. In the beginning, Harper wanted to fit in, but later she gradually realized that it would be impossible for her to truly get their recognition and become their family. So, she let it go and no longer had any expectations.
But now that the Mitchell family was in trouble, Harper wasn't sure if she could remain indifferent.
When she returned to her apartment, Benjamin had finished a phone call and walked in from the balcony. He saw her looking gloomy.
Benjamin frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Harper asked, "Benjamin, can you do me a favor?"
