'' Hey, Lucy, see you want to have it?'' he asked, looking in her direction.  But she was walking on her own ignoring everything on her way.

I can't understand what's happening here at all.'' her mom asserts. '' Who's this invisible helper who's helping us. Anyway, we can figure about it later. Did you talked with the doctor?'' Lucy asked. '' Yes, he said they need to do the operation tomorrow. We should come here by the early morning.'' '' I see.'' '' Don't you have to go to the office today?'' her mom asked.

Insults
'' I am not going to give you the money. He's not my son, if he was then he wouldn't have destroyed my money and my business. If he was my son he would not have married someone like your mother. I wanted him to marry the royal class woman of the Wilson family. But he didn't do that, he refused her and then married your mother without my permission. There's no way I am going to save someone as worth as him,'' shouted her grandpa. Lucy couldn't believe her ears. '' My wife was the bad one, she believed that her son was growing up well. But she didn't know that her son is still as worthless as ever. Instead of listening to what I told him to do he used his time without studying and helping in my business.

Your dad can kick the bucket as he can.'' '' And don't forget I had let you in the succession thing just because I consider your efforts in the business. I als

'' Late, around twelve to one. Don't you remember? Oh, how would you do it? You were out drunk. People get drunk so easily don't they? Even though your dad is in the hospital. You were out drinking, How much carefree can you be?'' he retorted. Lucy felt ashamed of herself not being able to meet his eyes. '' I am sorry, I had gone to gr-'' she didn't complete her sentence.
