Glancing at Nico, Arielle was annoyed that the woman flirted with her man.
“That's her room right there,’* informed Melissa with a smile, completely unaware of what was going through Arielle's mind. “With her age, she prefers being alone in a quiet place.’*
Arielle nodded in agreement, for most of her elderly patients back in Chanaea had the same preference. They would rather spend most of their time on their own.
Nico was the first to step inside when
Arielle and the others reached Lisa's room.
“Grandma, Dr. Moore is here to see you. She's the one who treated you," announced Nico before she even entered the place.
“Nico’s always been rash like that. I have no idea who she got it from." Melissa shook her head while chuckling.
Since Arielle would rather just ignore Nico, she decided not to comment on that.
Even though Arielle planned to curry favor with Matthew, she intended to be on an equal footing with the man.
“Come push me now!" ordered Lisa, whose voice remained clear despite her age.
Nico knew that Lisa could not wait to see Arielle, so she hurriedly got behind her grandmother's wheelchair.
“You must be Dr. Moore," voiced Lisa with a big smile as she held Arielle's hand at the entrance of the living room. “My, my! What a beauty you are! Are you seeing anyone at the moment?"
“Mother, Dr. Moore's a Chanaean. You know she can't marry into our country, right?’* reminded Melissa helplessly.
Lisa had reached an age where she enjoyed playing matchmaker.
“Oh, right!’* exclaimed Lisa as she smacked herself on the forehead. “My memory is getting worse every day. I forgot that you're a Chanaean.’*
