Chapter 329 They All Died in a Car Accident
The servant reported that there was a young woman squatting outside the main gate, and she looked a lot like Ms. Sackler.
Margaret thought the servant must have mistaken someone else for her.
But Margaret couldn't help but come out to confirm it herself. She threw on a coat over her pajamas and went out.
It turned out to be Paige.
Margaret anxiously asked her questions, but Paige slowly lifted her head and looked towards Margaret.
Her face was tear-streaked, her appearance haggard, and her eyes were swollen as if she had cried for days and nights when Luna passed away.
Margaret's heart was instantly struck, filled with pain.
These days, she had often thought about calling Paige or visiting her. But knowing she had wronged her, Margaret had been reflecting on herself all this time.
She had been harsh to Luna and even less tolerant towards Paige, not showing the magnanimity a senior should have.
At that time, even knowing Paige wasn't a child of the Sackler family, she still sent Paige to the countryside.
The Sackler family was so large, it wasn't like they couldn't afford to feed Paige.
What was wrong with keeping Paige at home? Could she really bankrupt the Sackler family?
Thinking of this, Margaret found it even harder to forgive herself.
She had always cared about bloodlines but had overlooked the kindness she should have as a human being. Back then, even if she had just adopted Paige, she wouldn't have let her suffer so much.
Now, looking at Paige, knowing she was indeed a child of the Sackler family but bearing the Ellison family name, pushed to the top of the Universe Group, a place perhaps full of schemes and dangers.
If someone exposed her identity, who knew when she might fall from grace.
Thinking of this, Margaret had been unable to eat or sleep well these days.
She was extremely worried but didn't dare to look for her.
Now seeing Paige crying, her eyes red and swollen, squatting at the door of the Sackler Villa, looking so desolate and lonely, Margaret felt as if her heart had been shattered by a heavy hammer.
She was now standing at the pinnacle of power in the Universe Group, such a desolate appearance was absolutely not right!
Even if there was an issue with her identity at the Universe Group, wasn't there still the Carnegie family? Such a strong support, and Raymond who protected her, where was he?
How could he let Paige cry and come to the Sackler Villa in the middle of the night?
Margaret felt that something big had happened, and the problem was very serious!
Paige just shed tears without saying a word.
Margaret frantically asked, "Did Raymond bully you? If he dared to bully you, tell me, I'll go reason with Bradley. Our Sackler family may not be what it used to be, but we are not to be bullied."
Margaret asked, but Paige still didn't answer, just looked at Margaret with tears streaming down her face.
Margaret got anxious, thinking she must have guessed wrong. Raymond was so good to Paige, it must be something else.
So she asked again, "It's not him bullying you, right? Then what is it? Is it the Universe Group? Is someone targeting you because of your identity? Did they find out about your background and know you have nothing to do with the Ellison family, so they embarrassed you?"
Paige slightly shook her head at this moment, unable to utter a word.
Margaret was still worried, but seeing Paige shake her head, she slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
She supported Paige and said, "Come on, get up Paige, let's go home, whatever it is, we'll talk at home."
Paige's legs were numb from squatting at the door, and Mrs. Sackler, being old, couldn't support her alone. She gave a look, and the servant quickly helped to bring Paige inside.
Back in the villa, Margaret felt Paige's hands were ice-cold, and had someone bring a wool blanket and hot water.
Although it was already spring, the temperature was still very low at night, and Paige's whole body was radiating cold, making Margaret very worried.
She turned and ordered, "Call the family doctor."
Hearing the word "doctor," Paige seemed to suddenly wake up and immediately said, "No."
Margaret immediately turned back to look at Paige. "Paige, you're willing to talk?"
Paige replied, "I'm fine, don't call the doctor."
Margaret's anxious expression twisted into a frown. "I'm very worried about you like this, no matter what happened, it's okay. Your hands are so cold, you mustn't get sick."
Paige insisted, "No doctor, I'm not sick. Don't tell anyone I came here, or I'll leave immediately."
Hearing this, Margaret, although not knowing what had happened to Paige, immediately responded, "No, no one is allowed to talk nonsense, and don't spread the word that Paige is back."
With Margaret's order, the servants all nodded.
Paige took a sip of hot water, and the maid handed over a hot towel. Margaret took it and wanted to help Paige wipe her face, but Paige looked at her and took the towel to wipe herself.
After stopping her tears, Paige suddenly asked Margaret, "Were you waiting outside my mom's delivery room the day I was born?"
Margaret was puzzled.
The topic shift was quite abrupt!
Paige asked again, and this time Margaret seriously thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it was my first time becoming a grandmother, how could I not be nervous? And back then, when Luna was pregnant with you, many people said, looking at her belly, it should be a boy, but it turned out to be you. To be honest, when your dad brought you out of the delivery room and handed you to me, I was a bit disappointed."
Paige continued, "Everyone said it was a boy, and I was hoping for a boy to inherit the family business. Who knew, it was a girl. But I didn't mind that. These days, I've been wanting to see you, but felt embarrassed to go. I'm happy you came. If I had known, I should have held you and raised you well when you were born. Paige, I..."
Before Margaret could finish, Paige shook her head and interrupted her. "Many people said my mom was carrying a boy?"
Margaret nodded, "Yes. But it doesn't matter, girls are good too, really."
Paige took a deep breath and asked, "Dad brought me out of the delivery room? Did he accompany my mom during childbirth?"
Margaret confirmed again, "Yes, he even cut the umbilical cord himself. What's wrong, why are you suddenly asking about that time?"
Margaret didn't think much of it, but Paige got more and more scared.
Mr. Sackler, who personally cut the umbilical cord, watched his child being born, how could he not know if his child was a boy or a girl?
Thinking about it, in the following years, Mr. Sackler, her biological father Gregory, all died in car accidents, Paige's heart tightened rapidly.
