Summer was woken up by a phone call .
With her eyes still closed , she reached for her phone on the bedside table and answered .
It was Yvette on the other end .
Summer ! Have you seen the news ? What ? Todays biggest headline in Havenbrook ! The Graham Group just announced that Maximus has passed away .
Hearing this , Summer instantly snapped awake .
She sat up in bed and quickly searched on her phone .
The news headlines were all about Maximus death , and even the Graham Groups official website was in black and white .
Yvette continued , Didnt you leave with Fraser last night ? How is he ? I heard some gossip that Fraser lost his parents when he was young and was raised by Maximus and Helen .
Now that Maximus is suddenly gone , this must be a huge blow to him .
Summer lowered her gaze .
Yvette , Ill call you back later .
She hung up and recalled waiting for Fraser last night .
At some point , she had fallen asleep .
Looking around the suite , the fresh flowers were still vibrant under the sunlight .
After a moment of hesitation , she dialed a number she hadnt called in a long time .
The phone rang a few times before the call was connected .
Summer gripped her phone tightly .
Fraser … are you okay ? There was a few seconds of silence before an aged voice spoke .
Summer .
It was Helen .
Summer bit her lip , momentarily at a loss for words .
Helen was half lying on a hospital bed , her eyes red , her white hair disheveled .
She had fainted last night and was admitted to a hospital roorn .
Fraser had been handling everything and stayed by her side after finishing up the arrangements .
He had stepped out briefly to speak with the hospital director , leaving his phone on the table .

When the phone rang .
Helen saw Summers name on the screen .
Instantly , her sharp , clear gaze turned cold , and she picked up .
With the grief of Maximus death still fresh , Summers call was like fuel to the fire .
Helens pupils burned with rage as she erupted .
Summer , do you remember what you promised me ? You took 30 percent of the Stewart familys shares from me ! You agreed to leave my grandson ! So why are you still breaking your word and clinging to him ? You disgusting , shameless woman ! You think you can manipulate your way in by getting pregnant ? Let me tell you right now , dont even think about it ! If you dont want anything to happen to your child , then stay as far away from Fraser as possible .
Otherwise , dont even dream of giving birth to this baby ! With that , Helen hung up viciously .
Her chest heaved from her outburst , and after a moment , she steadied herself .
She entered a long known password into the phone and deleted Summers call log .
Just as she was about to place the phone back on the table and pretend nothing had happened , she looked up , only to see Fraser standing at the doorway with one hand in his pocket .
Helens heart nearly stopped .
Her face paled as she clutched her chest .
My dear grandson .
when did you get back ? Frasers gaze was dark as he stepped inside .
He reached for his phone on the table and rubbed it between his fingers .
What did you delete ? Helens eyes flickered .
No , I.
I just thought I saw something on your phone … Fraser unlocked his phone and found nothing unusual .
His sharp gaze bore into Helen for a few seconds .
c c equipment .
Fraser took a step back , crossing his arms as he watched the doctors check Helens blood pressure and administer an injection .
A while later , Helens complexion improved slightly .
But Frasers gaze never left her .
How is she ? The doctor responded , She is fine , just a sudden spike in blood pressure .
At her age , she shouldnt be exposed to too much stress .
Fraser tapped his phone lightly a few times .
Leave us .
The doctors and nurses exited the room , closing the door behind them .
Helen forced a stiff smile .
My dear Fraser , your grandfather is gone .
There must be a lot to handle at the company .
You should go take care of business .
Fraser lifted his eyes coldly .
His tone was indifferent , yet carried a hint of pressure .
That call just now .
It was from Summer .
wasnt it ? Helens face froze .
She frowned .
