Chapter 298
Following Zoe back to her room, Maureen explained, “Last night, he insisted on staying, but nothing happened between us
“Recme, you don’t need to explain to an old woman like me. I just want to say, whatever you decide, III back you up.”
Maureen nodded.
Zoe couldn’t help but add, “Actually, I’ve seen Geoffrey really change. It’s good for you to be with him properly”
“Old folks say it’s best for couples to stick with their first partners, and besides, you two have
kids”
Maureen listened quietly, unsure how to respond to Zoe. “I’ll think about it, don’t worry,” she finally said
“The doctor will be here soon. You should rest a bit more.”
“Alright”
After their conversation, Maureen went out to contact the doctor.
By the time she finished, Geoffrey had woken up and was coming downstairs
“Reenie”
Maureen deliberately ignored him, refusing to respond or make a sound.
Geoffrey frowned slightly, his handsome face turning cold.
Assuming she’d gone out, he returned to his room.
Only then did Maureen get up to wash up.
Soon, the doorbell rang
Thinking it was the doctor, she hurried to answer
Opening the door, she found Katherine looking around while carrying a backpack.

“Katherine? What brings you here?”
Maureen sounded puzzled. “Where’s Jacob?”
11 248 cheek
“Dad kicked me out last night. Jacob’s probably inspecting the White Family business with him right now.”
Scott adored Jacob beyond measure-not just calling him “baby” constantly, but actually making a will to leave everything to him.
Katherine lowered her voice. “Where’s Geoffrey?”
She hadn’t come seeking shelter, but purely to see the once-mighty CEO now rendered blind.
Couldn’t wait to witness what had become of him.
Maureen pointed toward Geoffrey’s room: “In his own room.’
“I’ll go check.”
་་
Katherine set down her purse, approaching Geoffrey’s room like visiting a rare zoo exhibit.
Before she reached it, the door swung open from inside, revealing the man’s towering frame.
“Reenie, do we have guests?”
Katherine stood mere steps away, noting his seemingly normal eyes yet undeniable blindness, sighing inwardly.
Karma’s a bitch. This bastard turned blind.
Without waiting for Maureen’s reply, Katherine spoke up: “Hi, I’m Reenie’s best friend, Katherine. You once had me hauled to the local police station. Remember?”
Hearing this, Geoffrey resumed his trademark iciness: “Don’t recall.”
Katherine choked on her words.
Still as rotten-tempered as ever?
Didn’t Zoe say he’d changed?
Only then did Katherine realize the change Zoe mentioned was solely for Maureen.
But Geoffrey did speak to Zoe in a decent tone, showing real change.

After the medical team arrived, they brought various high-end equipment.
Katherine was impressed “Reenie, did you arrange all this?”
“Geoffrey helped source the medical equipment.”
Maureen answered truthfully.
She still didn’t know Geoffrey was why she got the specialists.
Zoe knew, but Geoffrey asked her not to tell Maureen.
He didn’t want Maureen staying with him out of obligation.
That convinced Zoe Geoffrey had changed.
The elderly lady spent the whole morning undergoing examinations.

Afterward, the specialists told Maureen, “Ms. Ramirez, we can’t cure age-related illnesses, but surgery could extend her life.”
“Okay, when can we schedule it?”
“Take medication for a while first, then we’ll set a date.’
“I
Maureen saw them out after finalizing details.
Back inside, she reassured Zoe: “The doctor said surgery can fix this. You’ll recover soon.”
Zoe knew full well about her health, but didn’t have the heart to worry Maureen, smiling as she replied: “That’s good. I just want more time with you all.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Katherine also comforted the elderly woman nearby, making the household exceptionally cheerful today.
Geoffrey still had to go to the office. After the doctors left, he headed out too.
On the way, he called Wayne: “Any progress on yesterday’s incident?”
“Confirmed it was Alex.”
“What about those projects you intercepted?”
“No issues.”

Wayne believed Geolliey would reclaim the company soon after this year.
Only then did Geoffrey hang up.
Meanwhile, Katherine accompanied Maureen to visit Ethan.
At the hospital, Ethan lay in bed staring coldly out the window.
Until a nurse approached gently: “Ethan, your mom and aunt are here to see you.”
Ethan instantly regained his usual innocent expression: “Really?
That’s wonderful!”

Katherine entered the room before Maureen. Seeing Ethan-identical to Jacob yet paler-she couldn’t resist reaching to pinch his cheek.
“Sweetie, remember your auntie?”
Ethan silently avoided her touch, then cooed: “Aunt Katherine, if you come to see me any later, I won’t remember you.”
Katherine’s heart melted upon hearing this.
“Sorry, I’ll come to see you often from now on, okay?”
“Okay.”
After saying this, Ethan saw Maureen and, to avoid being harassed by Katherine, immediately got up and went to Maureen.
“Mommy, you’re here.”
“Mm, how have you been feeling lately?”
Maureen crouched down and asked.
“Great, it doesn’t hurt at all.”
