Keira decorated the place she rented in a neat and cozy way.
She watched as the elderly woman sitting at the table drinking her third glass of water, and said seriously, “I really am not your granddaughter-in-law.”
“Yes, you are,”
The old lady was very stubborn. She held her glass and gulped down another glass of water.
Keira knew it was impossible to convince her, so she took out her phone and dialed that number from last time.
The call was answered right away. “Hello?”
Keira faintly recognized the man’s voice and was about to say something when the old woman snatched the phone from her.
Meanwhile, Lewis was leading a group of people searching for the old lady nearby.
He seemed calm, but deep down, he was somewhat anxious.
His grandmother not only had Alzheimer’s, but at 87 years old, every organ in her body was beginning to decline, and her life could be in danger at any moment.
The moment the phone rang, he picked it up immediately. Then he heard his grandmother’s vigorous voice.
“Little brat, don’t come pick me up. I’m with my granddaughter-in-law.”
Granddaughter-in-law…
The phone number was that of the girl from last time, so his grandmother was with her again now?
Lewis’s face darkened as he asked, “Where are you?”
“I won’t tell you.”
“Do you think I can’t find you that way?”
“I forbid you from looking for me or sending anyone after me!”
Lewis rubbed his forehead and asked the attending physician in a low voice, “Can we bring old Mrs. Horton back by force?”
The doctor shook his head and replied in a low voice, “Old Mrs. Horton should not be subjected to any stress right now. It’s best to go along with her intentions. Besides, that girl last time doesn’t seem to be a bad person…”
Lewis clenched his jaw and coaxed softly into the phone. “Grandma, I have to deliver your medicine.”
“Don’t bother. I brought my medicine with me. Don’t worry. Just wait while I bring my granddaughter-in-law home!”
After saying this, the old woman hung up.
She gave the phone back to Keira. “Done!”
Keira was speechless.
What kind of irresponsible family members were they? How could they just leave the elderly woman with a stranger?
Just as she was about to call back, her received a WhatsApp notification. Someone had sent her a friend request using her phone number. The message read, “Grandson of the old lady.”
Keira accepted the friend request and saved his name in her contacts as “Grandson”.
“Grandson” soon sent a message. “Could you please take care of my grandmother for a while? She hasn’t been well recently and can’t be stressed.”
Keira snorted and typed on her phone in an indifferent manner. “I can’t. I don’t run a charity…”
Before she could finish typing, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the kitchen.
She quickly walked over to find the old lady boiling eggs.
Keira casually asked, “Are you hungry? Some eggs won’t be enough.”
“No.” The old lady turned around, her wrinkled face had a kind smile on it. “Sweetheart, applying an egg to your face can reduce swelling.”
Keira was stunned.
Perhaps she hadn’t noticed it herself. Since she was hit by her biological mother today, she seemed unaffected, but in fact, she had assumed a detached demeanor that distanced her from the world.
The old lady’s words just now touched Keira, and a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes…
