Chapter 187 Call Him Over
I smiled gently and quickly shook my head, saying, “Grandma, you’ve misunderstood. I came to see you, not to complain about him. I know he’s busy, and I don’t blame him for not coming home.”
Madam Young chatted warmly with me, either silently praising me for being understanding or blaming herself for being too harsh on me in the past two years.
She had said these words many times before, and I had long grown accustomed to hearing them.
Her kindness toward me now was because she did not know that Noah was dead, so she wanted to keep me by Idris’s side to continue suppressing Moore.
However, with the events of the past few days, I wondered if she would still try to bring Idris and me together once she found out that Noah was dead and Moore had lost her child, removing any threat to her.
“Yvette, when I had my accident, Zane told me he had spoken to you about the past,” Madam Young suddenly said, looking at me.
I was momentarily stunned, not immediately grasping the implication in her probing and warning gaze until I caught sight of Mr. Zachary standing respectfully to one side.
His clenched hands at his sides betrayed his nervousness.
Indeed, a disaster that killed three hundred people had been concealed. If not for Noah’s sudden appearance, no one else would have known about it.
Such a matter involving human lives, could cause chaos in the Young family if even a hint of it were leaked, let alone the truth.
Realizing the consequences of revealing this information, I looked at Madam Young and said, Grandma, I…”
“That old man caused the Young family to bear the weight of hundreds of lives. I know that even though he’s dead, that sin can never be fully atoned for,” she interrupted before I could speak further, looking at me. “Yvette, neither Idris nor Liam know about this. The sin of the older generation of the Youngs… I will atone for it. Can you…
“}
Understanding what she was about to ask, I replied, “I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Leaving the matter at that, our conversation had just ended when the door to the ward was pushed open. Idris entered.

Seeing me there too, he paused for a moment before approaching the bed and asking Madam Young, Grandma, what’s wrong? Mr. Zachary said you urgently wanted to see me. Are you feeling unwell?”
Madam Young looked at him, her eyebrows knitting together seriously. “Can’t I call you here even if I’m not sick? Tell me honestly, where were you last night?”

Caught off guard by the sudden interrogation, Idris hesitated slightly and began, “I was at…” but stopped abruptly, as if he had thought of something. He glanced at me, his eyes carrying a question.
Just as I was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He reached for his phone to answer it, but Madam Young abruptly said, “What? Are you always so busy? You just got here, and you’re already preparing to leave?”
Idris glanced at the caller ID, his handsome face showing a hint of helplessness as he said to Madam Young, “Grandma, what are you talking about? It’s Ensio calling about something at the company. If it makes you unhappy, I won’t answer.”
Saying this, he hung up the call, almost like he was coaxing a child.
Indeed, as people aged, they often become like children again.
