Chapter 533
Katherine sat down by the hospital bed.
Ivan looked at her calmly. "It seems you have something to say to me."
"I am just an outsider, theoretically, I shouldn't meddle in your family affairs, but I am also a friend of Mrs. Winston. I cannot stand by and watch her burden grow while knowing she has something on her mind," Katherine said lightly. "Mr. Winston, you are a pride of heaven, the heir of the Winston family, the helm of the Winston Group. You have so many halos around you, enough to make everyone envious. Moreover, you are about to marry the woman you love the most, and your family of six will live happily together. Are you so happy that you have forgotten about your brother, who is still suffering in dire straits?"
Ivan's eyes narrowed suddenly, his gaze turning cold all of a sudden.
Seeing his expression, Katherine was taken aback.
She had seen Ivan's photo in Mrs. Winston's phone before, and she had marveled at how the two brothers looked exactly alike, including their features, contours, and figures...as if they were carved from the same mold.
Now, seeing Ivan's cold gaze, she realized that Ivan and Sterling were not just similar in appearance, but also in temperament.
It was just that Sterling always had a gloomy and fierce look on his face.
And Ivan only occasionally revealed this side in front of others...
"It seems you have come as a mediator," Ivan sneered, "I suppose in the more than four years abroad, Sterling has visited the estate often. Otherwise, how could you willingly speak for a murderer?"
Katherine's fingers stiffened.
She really hadn't expected Ivan to guess this.
She took a deep breath, raised her chin, and said, "Sterling is Mrs. Winston's son. Is there anything wrong with him going to the estate to visit his biological mother? As for what you said about a murderer, I don't think it holds water. Back then, Sterling was still young, he was pushed to the brink, with no choice, so he made a mistake. It's been ten years since that incident, do you really need to bring it up again?"
"He was already fifteen at the time and should pay for his mistakes." Ivan's thin lips tightened, not wanting to say more. He said coldly, "Please leave!"
Katherine stood up; her face also cold. "Sterling doesn't owe you anything. You shouldn't be so ruthless towards him!"
"Get out!"
Ivan's face was full of coldness.
"You will regret this one day!" Katherine bit her lip and said, "I hope when that day comes, you won't turn around and beg him!"
When Haley was preparing to return to the ward with a few children, she saw Mrs. Winston standing in the corridor, looking lost.
She had just noticed that Mrs. Winston's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
She squatted down gently and smiled. "Keith, take your siblings to play over there. I'll talk to your grandmother about some wedding matters."
Keith obediently nodded. "Okay, Mom, we'll go play at the amusement park over there for a while."
Haley walked toward Mrs. Winston.
Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Winston turned her head and hurriedly wiped the corner of her eye.
"Mrs. Winston, your mood seems a bit off today. Is something wrong?" Haley asked softly.
"Nothing." Mrs. Winston sighed with her eyes downcast. "Seeing you and Ivan so happy, I thought of Ivan's father. We were so loving back then, but fate played a cruel trick."
Haley's fingers paused.
She had seen news about the Winston family online. Ivan's father seemed to have passed away very early, but the news did not mention the reason for his death.
She comforted softly, "The deceased is gone, he must also want to see you live happily..."
"His only wish before he died was for the family to live in harmony, but I failed to fulfill his wish..." Mrs. Winston's voice was hoarse, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Haley furrowed her brows gently.
