Chapter 110 Since the hospital had placed Paul under special protection , no one could reach the floor where his room was located without permission .
As a result , the Sullivans had to exit the elevator early and take the stairs to Pauls floor .
When they reached the floor and pushed open the stairwell door , they were immediately blocked by two security guards .
Youre not allowed here The Sullivans froze , caught off guard by the unexpected obstruction .
But then they remembered Paul was a respected elder of the Vanderbilt family , so having security stationed here wasnt entirely surprising Were from the Sullivan family .
Im Gregory , and these are my wife and daughter .
Were here to visit Mr.
Paul Vanderbilt .
Step aside , were going in Gregory said His tone was laced with arrogance as he addressed the guards .
He believed his familys status warranted respect , especially since Dominick had .
shown interest in his daughter , Brittany .
He knew surely the Vanderbilt family wouldnt turn them down .
Unexpectedly , the two guards stood their ground , their expressions growing even sterner .
The Sullivan family ! I never heard of you .
Without specific instructions from Mr.
Dominick Vanderbil , no one is allowed through rbilt tha At the mention of Dominick , Brittanys eyes lit up .
Please inform Mr.
Dominick Vanderbilt that Im Brittany , and Ive brought my parents to visit Mr.
Paul Vanderbilt .
Once he hears about this , hell definitely let us in .
Exactly , so go tell him now .
Christina added sharply , waving a hand dimissively at the guards .
If you keep wasting our time , Mr.
Dominick Vanderbilt might come down hard on you later .
The two security guards exchanged uncertain glances , somewhat thrown off by the trios confidence that Dominick would see them .
Finally .
ope of them decided to leave and get Dominicks approval , while the others remained behind to ensure they didnt cause any trouble .
Inside the hospital room , Grayson had cried himself to sleep .
Dominick sat silently by his side , expressionless and lost in thought .
Marissa , seated attentively at Pauls bedside , fussed over him with concern , Grandpa Paul , do you still feel unwell anywhere ? If you do , you must tell us about it .
Paul turned his head away from her clearly uninterested in talking .
Hed never liked Marissa .
There was always something off about her .
Despite her sweet and gentle look , he couldnt shake the feeling that she had an agenda behind everything she did .
It all just felt insincere .
Back when the familys chauffeur from the Prescott family had passed away , Paul had intended to give the Prescott family a substantial sum of money as a gesture of goodwill from the Vanderbilt family .
Bun Lauren had insisted on raising Marissa by her side .
When Paul objected , she even accused him of being heardless .
Now , every time he looked at Marissa , he felt nothing but frustration .
If not for her , he believed Paisley wouldnt have left all those years ago .
Grandpa Paul … Marissa , sensing Pauls disdain, stubbornly called out again .

Dont talk to me .
My head hurts .
Paul shut his eyes , pretending to fall asleep .
Marissa thought , You old geezer why didnt you just kick the bucket this time ! Just then , a light knock sounded on the door from outside the What is it ? Dominick asked Mr.
Dominick Vanderbilt , there are three individuals in the stairwell claiming to be from the Sullivan family .
One of them is a woman named Brittany .
Theyre asking to visit Mr.
Paul Vanderbilt , the security guard reported .
The Sullivan family ! Brutany ? Marissa wondered who they were as she turned to Dominick with a frown .
In her memory , the Vanderbilts werent associated with any Sullivans .
On top of that Brittanys name didnt ring a bell at all .
Hearing it was the Sullivan family , Dominick felt a fleeting emotion , but he quickly masked it .
We wont meet them , he replied curtly .
He wouldnt see them because that family would only remind him of Paisley.
Just recently , Paisley had torn into him with a scathing verbal attack .
He couldnt handle seeing anyone from the Sullivan family right now .
Over the past four years since their divorce , he had been searching tirelessly for Paisley .
In the process , hed learned that Paisley was from the Sullivan family .
He didnt know why , but years ago , she had chosen to leave her family behind .
When they got married .
Paisley had told him she had no family in Harrowfell and that he would be her only family from then on .
The only reason he had ever helped the Sullivan family was because they were Paisleys blood relatives .
He had always hoped that if Paisley ever wanted to return to her roots , he could help mediate the situation .
The security guard , having received Dominicks answer , promptly returned to relay the message .
Marissa pulled her gaze back , a smirk tugging at her lips .
Over the years , far too many people had schemed to cozy up to the Vanderbilt family .
To her , this Sullivan family was just another name on that endless list of opportunists .
The Sullivans were still holding onto hope , but when the security guard returned , he simply shut the stairwell door in their faces .
Gregory froze for a moment before pounding on the door .
Whats going on ? Why did you shut the door ! Mr.
Dominick Vanderbilt said he wont see you .
Just go back , the security guard replied coldly .
Gregory stared at him in disbelief before turning to Brittany , who asked .
Did you mention that Brittanys here ? She couldnt believe that Dominick would turn her down .
Yet , the guards didnt even bother to respond , leaving the Sullivans stranded in the stairwell .
