Chapter 228: Chapter 228: I Have No Room to Rest

Because he wanted to stay by his sister’s and mother’s side.

’How could he do that?’

’How many opportunities like this does a person get in life? If he gave this one up, who could say if he’d ever get another! By the time he regretted it, it would be too late.’

"Oh, come on, Sis! I know exactly what I’m doing. Don’t think I’m naive just because I’m young. I’ve actually thought about all of this many, many times! About how to plan my future, about forging my own path."

Alex Grant naturally knew what his sister and mother were thinking, and understood the high hopes they had for him.

But having been born into this family, and having received their love and care his whole life, he couldn’t just focus on his own future and ignore his family’s struggles.

’If I did that, would I even be human?’

"Alex..."

"Sis, you don’t have to say any more. I believe I need to learn how to be a decent person before I can learn how to succeed. Otherwise, when I enter the real world, I’ll just be a cancer on society."

His words made Evelyn Grant laugh.

"Oh, you! Alright, alright. Since you have your own ideas, I won’t say any more. I just hope you can start living the life you want soon. And that the next time you have a girlfriend, you won’t have to break up because of the gap between you two."

Alex Grant nodded. "Yeah! I will! Every time I’m studying and I start to feel tired or think it’s too hard, I remind myself that I can’t rest now! I don’t have room to rest. I have to keep working hard!"

He felt that he was already starting from behind, with a different starting line than others. If he didn’t wake up earlier and endure more hardship than they did, how could he ever hope to succeed?

If he couldn’t make something of himself, he’d be stuck like this for the rest of his life.

Living a lower-class life, where every day was just a struggle to make ends meet.

He absolutely did not want that.

Evelyn Grant nodded, gratified. "I knew my little brother was the best."

...

After leaving the hospital, Ryan Sterling went straight to his mother’s.

Florence Morgan had already cried herself into a state, her hands trembling as she clutched her son’s.

"Ryan, hurry up and take your father. Let’s go, let’s go now!"

"Mm."

Ryan Sterling had only gone to the hospital to see Evelyn Grant because he knew he was leaving. He didn’t know when he’d be able to return, so he just wanted to see her one last time.

Her finding out was a complete accident.

He had just wanted to come and go quietly, without her ever knowing.

But what Ryan Sterling didn’t know was that Evelyn Grant wasn’t the only one who had found out about his hospital visit—Julian Sterling had, too.

How could Julian Sterling possibly allow the two of them another chance to be alone? So, naturally, he had his mother call Ryan Sterling at once and tell him to leave the hospital immediately.

When Ryan Sterling stepped out to arrange for the plane and cars, Florence Morgan finally had a chance to call her elder son.

"I did everything you said. Your brother is about to take us away. The rest is up to you!"

"Right, I know. Don’t worry. By the time you get back, you’ll be hearing the good news of me and Evelyn Grant getting remarried!"

In contrast to Julian Sterling’s brimming confidence, Florence Morgan could only sigh.

"Julian, just do your best. If you try to force things too much, the outcome might not be what you hope for. If Eve really doesn’t want to remarry, don’t push her too hard... Otherwise, the relationship between our two families will only grow more strained."
