Next One Is a Babe Chapter 1781

Sally had received news about Bryce too. She heard that he was in bad condition and had been sent

into the emergency room the night before. If anyone asked whether she felt sorry for Bryce, she

couldn’t say that she felt anything much for him. The only thing she felt for Bryce was a sense of

respect—Bryce had always been the one to make decisions in their family. Leah would often take a

step back when Bryce insisted on his opinions, and Sally gradually developed a sense of respect for

Bryce when she saw the way her mother treated him.

But that didn’t mean that she felt any concern for the man. Bryce had been especially cruel toward Ian,

but he hadn’t paid much care to Sally and Simon either. Sally merely felt like it was a shame for Bryce

to be in such a state—he was a wealthy man who couldn’t seem to save his life despite all the money

he had. What was the point of all that money, then?

Sally and Simon had shown up to take a look at Bryce before they attempted to get Leah out of the

basement. After years of parenting, it was clear that Bryce’s skills were nowhere near Leah’s when it

came to caring for children. Leah might not be that great of an individual, but she was an undeniably

wonderful mother who had given her all to her children.

Even her recent actions—starting arguments with Bryce, fighting for the money in his possession—

were done for the sake of her children, Sally and Simon. Since Bryce’s life was nearing its end, Sally

and Simon wanted to resolve this matter before Bryce passed away.

Sally looked away before she strode toward the entrance, keeping a distance from Ian. Ever since she

had begged Ian for help and had been rejected by him, she no longer wanted to have anything to do

with him. It wasn’t just Ian—she didn’t want to interact with Sean either.

Throughout the years, Sally and Simon were on relatively good terms with Sean. Sally may have the

guts to abuse her power while she was with Ian, but she didn’t dare to do the same with Sean. Even

Leah had to show Sean some respect—no one in the family dared to go against him. Sally had never

thought that their family would be indebted to Sean, but her opinions changed after she, Leah, and

Simon visited the company to discuss with Sean about the will.

Sean was beyond evil and harsh when he spoke to them back then. It was then that Sally knew Sean

hated them all along. It makes sense, really. Sally decided that Sean’s feelings were valid after she

thought about it a while more. It’s true that Mom used some manipulative tactics on the entire family,

and I bet Sean was already aware of the chaos when it first happened. That explains why he dislikes

Mom.

Throughout her years of being in the Morgan Family, Leah had always avoided Sean. She would often

take a step back before a conflict happened, but there were still unavoidable situations in which she

would try to portray herself as the woman of the family. She wanted to replace Sean’s mother’s position

in the house—she wanted to be the person others thought of when others thought of the term ‘Mrs.

Morgan’. If Sally and Simon could recognize the greed in their mother’s eyes, Sally was sure that Sean

had noticed it as well. That gave Sean the reason to hate Leah.

However, Sally was no longer interested in digging deep into such matters. They were already at this

point, so there was no use in looking back into the past. Her main focus then was to resolve the issue

that was right before her eyes. Soon enough, Simon came out of the wards. He hadn’t noticed Ian at

all, so he took large strides directly in Sally’s direction.

Sally hurried over anxiously. “How was it? How’s the situation up there?”

Simon shook his head. “He’s not awake. I took a look at him just now—he doesn’t seem too well.”

Sally was rather shocked to hear this. “How did he end up like this? Wasn’t he doing fine a while ago?”

“I asked the nurses about it. They said that his condition started to deteriorate after we went to start a

fight. They said that he would sigh really loudly in the middle of the night when he couldn’t fall asleep.”

Simon spoke in a rather uncertain tone. “He was probably outraged. Dad’s heart has always been

weak, and he used to tell us about his chest pains. Perhaps his heart issues were triggered this time

around.”
