Chapter 266: Chapter 266: A Wedding That Shook the World
Ivy Kensington walked over just in time to hear June Keane’s words, and she pressed her lips tightly together.
The news of the Blackwood family’s alliance had already been released; how could she and Sebastian Blackwood continue...
"Aunt June, I know you care about me and Ronnie, but the reality is I truly can’t be with Mr. Blackwood anymore."
He couldn’t accept the child in her belly, and she wouldn’t abort the child because of this.
Moreover, if she didn’t divorce Sebastian, Nina Shaw wouldn’t give the antidote.
June Keane suddenly let out a bitter laugh.
Such an expression Ivy had never seen on June Keane’s face before; the first time she met June, she was exuberantly enthusiastic, like a little fireball, warm despite her age.
"Aunt June, are you feeling unwell?"
Ivy sensitively noticed something was wrong.
June’s complexion looked grayish; actually, Ivy had noticed a trace of it earlier when she reprimanded Nina Shaw at the manor, though not very obvious at the time, but now she appeared evidently weakened.
June didn’t intend to hide it anymore.
"Mother is sick, not long to live."
What?
Ivy was stunned, never expected to hear such a reply.
June continued: "Actually, this illness has been around for many years, and its symptoms relapsed in the past two years."
Years ago, she’d had a hysterectomy, but didn’t expect it to relapse now.
With a serious face, Sebastian Blackwood stepped up and lifted June into his embrace.
"Let’s get checked at the hospital."
June shook her head: "I’m most aware of my body’s condition. No matter how good a doctor you find, it’s of no use. I’m at peace with it; everyone dies, I’ve lived carefree for so many years, there’s nothing I can’t let go of."
"If there’s anything, it’s Ronnie. You two divorce, what about Ronnie? His parents won’t care, and I, his grandma, won’t be around; my poor Ronnie will be all alone."
As she spoke, June’s eyes turned red, quietly wiping her tears.
If her foolish son really married Nina Shaw, with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and even if Sebastian now adores Ronnie, when he has a child with Nina Shaw, Ronnie won’t have a father anymore...
And Ivy, even if she doesn’t plan to remarry, raising Ronnie alone would be hard enough, let alone having two more children in her belly.
Upon hearing this, Ivy’s heart was suddenly gripped tightly, aching.
Indeed, their divorce meant Ronnie would suffer just as much as they would.
Sebastian Blackwood’s grip on June tightened, an unexpected pain flickering in his usually steady eyes.
June’s words equally couldn’t be ignored by him.
Seeing both were pondering over this issue, June continued: "Even for the sake of Mother, postpone the divorce; if I pass away in a month, you can do whatever you want."
At that time she wouldn’t be able to manage much, but she would try her best to leave a huge fortune for Ronnie, and with that money, even if Sebastian and Ivy do divorce in the future, no one would dare harm Ronnie easily.
June was truly doing everything she could to plan for Ronnie.
Listening was difficult for Ivy; at this moment, she didn’t know what to do.
Yet Sebastian suddenly said: "One month, I can."
Instantly, Ivy stared at him dumbfounded.
Did he mean to not divorce for now?
But what about Nina Shaw...
While pondering, Nina Shaw unexpectedly chased them to Blackwood Manor!
