"President Flint called to tell me, so I came to visit you, " Sydney replied.
The Old Madam feigned an angry grunt. "That little brat. I told him not to tell you."
"Grandma." Sydney shook her arm petulantly. "Did you not want to tell me because you don't like me?"
"Of course, not." The Old Madam lovingly stroked Sydney's hair. "I just didn't want you to worry."
"But you not telling me is what caused me to worry. If I only found out late that you had fallen, I would've regretted why I didn't know earlier so I could come and see you." Sydney touched the back of the old woman's hand. "Grandma, you can't do this again. You must tell me if anything happens."
"Yes, I also think that Syd is right," Felicia finished arranging the flowers and said with approval.
The Old Madam laughed so happily she could not close her mouth. "Okay, okay. I'll tell you next time."
"That's better." Sydney also laughed.
"Old Madam, let Syd accompany you. I'll go to the doctor and ask what you need to pay attention to." Felicia wiped her hands and spoke.
"Go ahead." The Old Madam nodded.
When Felicia left, the Old Madam took Sydney's hand. "Syd, tell me. How have you been these days?"
"Okay," Sydney responded.
Then, she briefly told her about some recent events.
She only talked about the good happenings and did not mention being targeted by the Graham family because she did not want to worry the Old Madam.
After talking for an unknown amount of time, two laughing voices suddenly sounded from outside the ward.
Sydney could immediately tell that they were Velma and Lyra.
The Old Madam also heard them. The kindness on her face disappeared in an instant and turned into indifference.
Soon, the door opened, and Velma and Lyra came in while talking and laughing.
Sydney frowned with displeasure.
What was wrong with these two people?
Grandma was sick, but they were still laughing so happily.
"Ms. Raines?" Lyra noticed Sydney first and a look of surprise surfaced.
When Velma heard this, she turned around and saw Sydney sitting by the Old Madam's bedside. Her expression sank and her voice became sharp. "What are you doing here? Who let you in?"
Before Sydney could answer, the Old Madam held her hand tightly and spoke in a cold voice, "I told Syd to come. Do you have a problem with that?"
Velma choked and then laughed. "What are you talking about, Mom? Of course, I don't have a problem with that. However, she's just an outsider. It's not good for you to ask her to come."
The Old Madam snorted coldly. "Who said that Syd is an outsider? Even if she was forced aside by a certain someone and divorced Julien, she's still my granddaughter."
"Grandma..." Sydney looked at the Old Madam, touched.
To the side, Lyra lowered her head and covered the distortion on her face.
She knew that the "certain someone” the Old Madam mentioned was referring to her.
"Yes yes yes, she's your granddaughter. She's your granddaughter, okay?" Velma smiled obsequiously, but she secretly glared fiercely at Sydney.
She did not know what the Old Madam liked about that damned girl.
The Old Madam was still so protective of her even after she left the Flint family for so long.
"Grandma, it's getting late now. I should go." Sydney looked at her watch and offered to leave.
She had wanted to stay with the Old Madam for a while.
However, now that her two most hated people, Velma and Lyra, were here, she did not want to stay any longer.
The Old Madam grabbed Sydney's hand and refused to let go. "Stay a little longer. Grandma has something to give to you later."
"Me?" Although Sydney was confused, she was smart enough not to ask anything.
Lyra bit her lower lip, her heart full of jealousy.
During this period, she visited and tried to please the Old Madam multiple times, but the woman was still lukewarm to her.
However, the Old Madam saw Sydney and immediately wanted to give her something. How could she?
Velma was also unhappy and narrowed her eyes." Mom, if it's something good, why not just give it to one of our own? Why should you give it away to someone else?"
"You shameless thing." The Old Madam's face hardened. "You only know how to stare at other people's pockets. That problem of yours hasn't changed even after marrying into the Flint family for more than ten years. Also, I'm free to give my belongings to whoever I want. You have no right to question me. Besides, this originally belonged to Syd in the first place."
Sydney raised her brows.
