From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 571 Liam Fainted! Kelvin's status meant folks were too scared to criticize him to his face. They'd just butter him up and kiss his ass. But the second he was out of eyeshot, he'd hear what they really thought.

And then there was Lily, always stirring the pot. She'd do stuff that grossed him out and made him squirm, but it was so sneaky he couldn't even call her out on it.

Like, she'd buy new toys just for Grant, leaving him in the dust. Or, at parent-teacher meetings, she'd hit up Grant's classroom first and only show up for his meeting after it was all over.

Kelvin's throat tightened.

He thought he'd buried those memories for good, but now, facing a divorce from Penelope, they all crushing back.

"I don't get it," Penelope said, "but you can see Lucy's never felt second-rate." "Not now, but what about a year after our divorce? Two years? When she starts to get it?" Kelvin shot back. Penelope turned to look at his sharp jawline. "So, are you having second thoughts?" Were they not getting divorced? Liam had really screwed things up.

Just as Kelvin was about to say something, they heard Liam yelp, "Ouch," clutching his chest.

"Grandpa?" Kelvin called out.

Liam looked like he was about to keel over, taking a few shaky steps back and clutching his chest even harder. "I can't go on. I'm feeling really weak." Kelvin and Penelope exchanged a look.

"You two are gonna be the death of me!" Liam groaned. "One of these days, I'm gonna drop dead because of you." Liam's face was twisted in pain.

Kelvin just stood there, clueless.

It was obvious Liam was faking it. His acting was terrible. Anyone could see through it! But Kelvin couldn't just ignore it, right? What should he do? Send Liam to the hospital for a few days to chill out? Penelope was even more lost than Kelvin. Should she act worried or just watch? Liam sneaked a peek at them and cried out even louder, "It hurts. My high blood pressure and heart disease are flaring up." He'd noticed Kelvin and Penelope whispering and sensed something was off.

These two were dead set on getting divorced! He couldn't let that happen! He had to stop it! Liam couldn't let this trip be a waste! So, after thinking it over, he decided to pull this stunt. But it wasn't working! Liam thought again, maybe he wasn't acting well enough? His eyes darted around, and he let go of his cane, swaying like he was about to fall. "I'm dizzy." Seeing Liam, at his age, about to fall, the butler quickly stepped in to support him. "Are you alright?" "I, I..." Liam rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Mr. Davis, Liam's fainted!" the butler shouted. "What should we do? Quick, call an ambulance." Liam lay there with his eyes closed, not moving, leaning stiffly on the butler's shoulder. Kelvin pursed his lips and called for an ambulance.

Soon, the ambulance arrived with sirens blaring and took Liam away.

What a joke.

Kelvin knew Liam was faking it, so he didn't follow the ambulance to the hospital; he just sent the butler along. Liam knew Kelvin was onto his act, but he had to keep it going now that he'd started.

Watching the ambulance drive off, Kelvin's eyes flickered.

Penelope was at a loss for words. After a few moments of awkward silence, she finally said, "Who tipped off Mr. Davis?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

"Don't look at me," Kelvin replied. "If I didn't want this divorce, I could've just said no. Why would I need Grandpa to cto King Manor and make a scene?" Right then, his phone rang.

Kelvin answered, "Hello?" "Mr. Kelvin Davis," the butler's voice cthrough, "Mr. Liam Davis just suddenly woke up." "Woke up?" Kelvin echoed.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liam Davis has something to say to you!" The butler held the phone to Liam's mouth. "Kelvin, if you really go through with this divorce, it would be a great act of unfilial piety! You're going to be the death of me!" Liam said, gasping between words. "I'm telling you, if you wantto live a few more years, you have to listen to me! If you driveto my grave, you'll be the only one left in the Davis family. You'll have the whole world to yourself, and no one will be able to control you. Is that what you want?" "Grandpa," Kelvin replied, "you're threatening me." "Yes, I'm threatening you. My words stand. If you wantto die and have a funeral, go ahead and head to the city hall!" "Grandpa..." Kelvin said.

The call ended.

Kelvin pursed his lips and turned to look at Penelope. He had put the call on speaker, so she heard it all.

Liam was using his life to blackmail them! Penelope stomped her foot, bit her lip, and quickly walked down the steps.

"Penelope, where are you going?" Kelvin called after her.

"To the office!" Penelope was fuming.

They were so close, but Liam's sudden interference ruined everything! Who knew if they'd get another chance? The longer a divorce dragged on, the harder it was to go through with it! Kelvin's lips curled into a faint smile.

He had thought the divorce was a done deal, had given up, and was ready to spend the rest of his life quietly watching over and protecting her.

But then, Liam pulled this stunt.

So, this couldn't be blamed on Kelvin, right?

It wasn't like he had instructed Liam to cause a scene, scene, fake fainting, of use his life as leverage. It was all beyond his expectations.

Penelope understood this, which was why she had nowhere to vent her anger! This was all Liam's self-directed ; Kelvin had no part in it.

And he hadn't wavered; he had consistently insisted on the divorce.

What could Penelope do? She could only blher bad luck! Meanwhile, in the ambulance.

The doctor and nurse exchanged glances. Were they supposed to save patient or The content is on the novelenglish.net! just let it be? Liam, sitting there full of energy, didn't look like he had any issues.

The butler helped Liam sit up.

"Mr. Davis, you should still go to the hospital," the butler said "Geta ViÞ room and stay for a couple of days, just to recuperate." Liam grunted in agreement.

That was his plan, too; after all, he had gone this far.
