Solara always picked a bone with Zayn as she wanted everything to be equal between the two of them. Jombo was annoyed by her behavior as she always caused a ruckus in the family because of her jealousy towards Zayn.
Moreover, Solara made a scene on Jombo's birthday dinner a dozen years ago. Jombo was so angry that he got a stroke.
Fortunately, the Giblo family had a professional medical team. After several years of treatment, Jombo slowly got better.
Ever since then, Zayn had forbidden Solara to see his grandpa in private.
Upon arriving at the building, Zayn didn't bring Solara to Jombo's ward straightaway. Instead, he stopped in his tracks and waited for Naya's call.
"Is that really necessary? I told you I didn't touch her other than giving her a few lashes. We're almost there. Just take me to him already." Solara furrowed her brows in displeasure.
"I'll let you see him if there's nothing wrong with Carla."
As a matter of fact, Zayn wished he could bring Solara to Jombo because that would mean that Carla was fine.
If Carla was slightly injured, he could close one eye. However, if Carla was harmed in any other way, he would end Solara's life on the spot, without mercy.
"You're such a loser! Your grandpa shouldn't make you the heir of the Giblo family. You choose a woman over your own blood. How can an irrational man like you be the head of our family?" Solara sneered.
"Indeed, I'm not as cold-blooded as you are. Unfortunately, you've been cast out of the family and there are no other offspring of the Giblos, only me and your useless son, so it was not a difficult decision to make anyway, " Zayn replied coldly.
"You…" Solara's face turned ashen with anger. Her eyes were flaring with rage like a raging bull, exuding a murderous aura. She could forgive Zayn for being rude to her, but she couldn't tolerate any of his insults towards her son.
Solara stared at Zayn. "Boris is an innocent and kind man. He'll definitely surpass you one day. Besides, I'll make you pay for what you did to him the other day. Just wait and see."
Zayn turned a deaf ear to her threat and focused on his phone instead.
Soon, Naya called him, "Mr. Giblo, Ms. Wigston was in pretty bad shape. Her back is seriously injured. There are no other serious injuries, nor signs of sexual assault. I can only identify these problems so far. I'm still checking on her and I need some time."
Zayn felt relieved upon hearing her evaluation. He raised his eyes to stare at Solara. "You're going to pay for what you did to her."
"We'll settle them later, once and for all." Solara smirked arrogantly. "So can I see him now?"
Zayn made a gesture and the bodyguards made way for her.
Solara got into the elevator with Shirley.
Thompson was waiting outside the ward. Upon seeing Solara, he bowed to her. "Ms. Solara, you're here."
"It's been a while, Mr. Thompson." Solara gave a respectful nod in return.
"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. You look gorgeous, as always." Thompson smiled.
"Thank you." Solara cast a faint smile at him, then she followed the medical staff to the room next door and changed into the isolation gown.
After that, Zayn and Thompson led the way to the ward while Solara followed after them.
Benard and Shirley waited outside. Disgusted by one another, they gave a sneer and turned around.
Upon seeing the old man on the bed, Solara no longer had that murderous expression on her face. Instead, her expression was rather complicated.
It was a combination of love, resentment and hatred.
Solara stood in her position for a long while before she stepped forward and took a closer look at Jombo. Her eyes were looking somewhat desolate.
She opened her mouth but no words came out. All of a sudden, she was at a loss for words.
Thompson was moved upon seeing her response. He spoke softly, "Mr. Giblo has missed you, Ms. Solara. He once muttered your name when he was half-awake."
"Really?" Solara couldn't believe her ears. Do I really have a place in his heart?
"Of course."
Just when Thompson was speaking, Jombo wriggled a little and his lips were moving. He was muttering some words.
Solara got closer to him and tried to grasp his mutter.
