"Let's go." Julien took Sydney by her arm.
"But…" Sydney held the bowl, still wanting to say something.
Julien shook his head at her.
She seemed to understand what he meant and handed the bowl to the Old Madam, "OK, Grandma. Tell me if you need anything."
"OK." The Old Madam nodded benevolently.
Sydney went back to the table, with her hand taken in Julien's.
Julien handed her the fork, "Sit down and eat. I bought the dishes you love specially."
Sydney took the fork and smiled warmly, "Thank you."
They began to eat.
After dinner, they stayed with the Old Madam for a while and didn't leave until about nine o'clock in the evening.
When they arrived at the Cloud Building, Julien opened the door and made an inviting gesture to the woman beside him.
Sydney grabbed the bag chain on her shoulder with both hands and bowed slightly, "Thank you."
Julien frowned, "Don’t say that. This will be your home soon. You don’t need to say that."
Sydney blushed and turned her face away when she heard the word “your home”. "What are you talking about? My home? Don't make things up."
"I did not." Julien bent down and opened the shoe cupboard. He rummaged inside, saying, "When we get remarried, my home is also yours. And… How about using it as our newlywed home?"
"Our newlywed home?" Sydney was stunned.
"Mmm, " said Julien.
Sydney looked at him, "But you said that we would live in the old residence with Grandma."
"I had this intention before, but I have now decided to send Grandma to a sanatorium." Julien took out a pair of fuzzy pink slippers and put them in front of Sydney.
Sydney's mouth quirked up, looking at the slippers.
Who bought these? Such bad taste.
Although she thought so, she did not say so. She still took off her high heels and put on the slippers.
After putting them on, it dawned on her that the slippers were just her size.
In other words, they were prepared for her.
But she just didn't know whether Julien bought them himself or he had Zach prepare them.
But no matter who bought them, the taste was bad.
‘Why do men always think that women must like pink or cute things like rabbits?’
"Why do you send Grandma to a sanatorium?" Sydney followed Julien into the living room, then put down the bag on her shoulder and asked.
Julien went to the water fountain to get water and handed her a cup of water. Then he answered in a somewhat low tone, "Grandma's health is getting worse. The doctor said she doesn't have much time."
"What do you mean?" Sydney's face changed and her hand shook, almost dropping the cup.
After a long while, she barely calmed down. Her voice trembled a little, "How come…"
"The truth is so hard to predict." Julien sat down opposite her, took a sip of water, and said wearily.
Sydney's hands tightly held the cup, "Grandma… How much time is left?"
"Two years." Julien lowered his eyes, "Two years at most."
"So, you thought of sending Grandma to the sanatorium to let her live longer?" Sydney looked at him.
Julien nodded slightly, "The sanatorium has the most advanced health experts in the world. Grandma can get the best care there. I believe it will allow her to live longer, although it probably won't…”
He did not say the words left, but Sydney understood his meaning.
He wanted to say that although it might let Grandma live a little longer, it definitely couldn't be too long.
It took a lot of courage to say such sad words.
