Chapter 142\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it was just a misunderstanding,\u201d Trey said coldly, brushing past Stella before she could say any more, and stepped into the hospital room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Khloe, Lauren seemed to brighten immediately. She reached for Khloe\u2019s hands, showering her with praise and complimenting how much more beautiful Khloe had become since they last met.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this time, as she spoke to Khloe, Khloe could sense a subtle reserve in Lauren\u2019s tone. It lacked the genuine warmth and sincerity that Lauren had shown when she\u2019d supported Khloe and Trey\u2019s marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, I brought you some supplements. Please take care of yourself and don\u2019t let anything make you angry- it\u2019s never worth it,\u201d Khloe said softly, her concern for the elderly woman unchanged. Even if fate had separated them from being a family again, she would always remember the care and protection Lauren had shown her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, you really have no sense at all,\u201d Alicia sneered. \u201cGrandma treated you so well, and now that she\u2019s sick, you bring her some random, cheap stuff?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at the plain plastic bag Khloe had placed to the side, then at the luxury gifts piled high on the cabinet -gifts that her own family had brought. She let out a disdainful snort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how stylish Khloe looked, once she was out of their family, she was nothing but a spent force. She didn\u2019t even have the nerve to spend a little money properly-how long could she keep up this facade?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, if you can\u2019t afford proper gifts, just don\u2019t bring anything. Don\u2019t make Grandma think Trey has wronged you,\u201d Stella added, frowning. She gestured to a servant to throw the humble bag away. A black plastic bag looked like trash-what kind of \u2018supplements\u2019 could be inside that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had lived in the Fox household for two years, yet they still treated her so petty. Not even a shred of dignity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I\u2019m sure Khloe\u2019s intentions are good. Don\u2019t act like this,\u201d Trey hurriedly interjected, trying to stop Stella.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren, with a sidelong glance at the bag, also noted that the gift was modest, but she was there to encourage Khloe to return home. She spoke gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the thought that counts. How much can an old woman like me really eat? You all brought so much, Khloe doesn\u2019t need to prepare anything for me. Next time, you don\u2019t have to go through this trouble if there\u2019s nothing worth giving.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She patted Khloe\u2019s hand, her eyes soft with affection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this time, Khloe noticed the subtle presumption in her expression. Lauren seemed to naturally accept that Khloe was, in essence, the same as Stella and the others had suggested: incapable of spending or showing worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, Khloe truly was modest and unrefined. Lauren had understood and believed in her, often saying she would one day become a capable wife for Trey and a proper hostess for the Fox family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had worked harder out of gratitude, diligently striving to prove herself worthy, often minimizing her own hardships. She had wanted to show the family she deserved Trey.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Khloe realized the difference. Lauren\u2019s trust carried the tone of someone in power showing leniency and expectation toward a competent subordinate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been too young before to see it clearly. But thinking of Nick\u2019s grandparents, she suddenly gained some clarity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did the same kindness feel different? Why did Nick\u2019s grandparents\u2019 support feel warm and familial, while\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 142\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren\u2019s gestures remained distant, a form of grace rather than equality?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because\u2026 Lauren was bestowing favor, while Nick\u2019s grandparents gave her respect and equality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leon and Loretta treated Khloe as their true granddaughter-in-law, expecting nothing in return-just her happiness was enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
