Sybil reached out her shaky hand to welcome Lysander, "Lysander, you're here. Let me have a look at you."
Lysander walked up to the bed, with Zephyr kindly giving up his spot.
Sitting by the bed, Lysander took Sybil's hand, "What did the doctor say? Is her condition serious?"
Earlier on the phone, Lysander had flat out denied his grandfather's suggestion to return home and discuss marriage arrangements with Charlotte.
Using his dislike for children as an excuse, he suggested that they adopt from an orphanage instead.
His intention was just to get his grandparents off his back about getting hitched, he never intended for it to upset his grandma.
But now that his grandma ended up in the hospital due to the stress, Lysander felt both heartache and a sense of guilt.
When Lysander was little, his parents passed away in an accident. It was his grandparents who raised him and taught him everything.
His grandma meant the world to him.
"Grandma’s fine, it's just an old ailment acting up again. A drip will do the trick," Sybil said, holding his hand tightly and smiling kindly.
"Your grandma is worried about you. You're thirty already, still not married. Both your grandma and I are concerned. Get married earlier, have kids earlier. While we're still fit, we could help with the kids, wouldn't that be great?" Zephyr frowned at Lysander from the side.
Hearing this, Sybil chimed in, squeezing his hand gently, "Yes, Lysander, you're not getting any younger. It's time you think about the important things in life. Charlotte is a good girl, and you two have been engaged since childhood."
Saying this, Sybil turned to look at Charlotte, who was standing not far from the bed.
Catching the hint, Charlotte walked over, sweetly calling out, "Grandma."
Though Charlotte wasn't the most striking beauty among the rich girls, she had big eyes and a pointed chin, similar to the popular influencer look. But her petite figure, curvy body, and ample assets made her irresistible to men.
