Chapter 1356
Upon witnessing the situation, Neera pursed her lips lightly.
E
She still had reservations in her heart, and at that moment, she didn’t want to take the initiative to persuade anything. After all, whatever was meant to happen would still happen.
Surgery carried risks, and she couldn’t confidently guarantee anything.
Even though she remained calm, she was not a heartless person.

Knowing that she could receive help from others to do something she didn’t want to do, she tilted her head to glance at the triplets.
The triplets quickly understood and gathered around.
Penny took out a small handkerchief she always carried with her and, in a soft, childlike voice, said, “Grandma, let me wipe your tears. Don’t cry anymore.”
Sammy gently placed his small hand on hers, gripping it awkwardly. “Grandpa will be fine..Don’t worry.”
Harvey stood a little further back than Sammy and Penny.
Clearly, he had not yet forgiven Wrenn for the harm she once caused to their mother
However, deep down in his heart, he yearned to be close to his grandparents, which left him feeling somewhat torn and conflicted for a while.
But in the end, he was still worried about those two elders. Seeing Wrenn so helpless, he also felt uncomfortable. He hesitated for a moment, his lips moving slightly. “Grandpa has always been blessed with luck. He won’t be defeated by these difficulties. He can pull through, and y-you must also stay strong,”
Wrenn looked at the triplets, feeling both surprised and touched, her emotions incredibly complex.
Before that, the triplets voluntarily stayed behind to keep her company, and indeed, she felt a bit comforted.
However, they didn’t approach her, nor did they say anything. They just stood quietly by the side.
On each little face, there was an expression of alienation.
In response, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness, yet she understood their willingness to stay with her was already quite an achievement.
After hearing those words, Wrenn ended up crying even harder. Her emotions were complex and tumultuous, filling her heart to the brim with shame, guilt, and relief.
She took’Penny’s handkerchief and uttered cautiously, “I understand. I’ll pull myself together.”
Penny’s eyes sparkled. “That’s more like it. Grandpa surely wouldn’t want to see you so dispirited. Haven’t you eaten yet?”
Wrenn really wanted to hug her, or even just hold her little hand, or touch her small face would be nice.
But fearing that it might upset the triplets, she had no choice but to hold it in, managing only a bitter smile. “Yes. I don’t have much of an appetite.”

At this point, Sammy chimed in, “That won’t do. If you keep skipping meals, you’ll starve yourself sick. Grandpa is still in bed, ill. You can’t afford to fall ill, too. Otherwise, Daddy will be upset.”
Right then, Harvey paused in contemplation, then turned to look at Jean. “Daddy, could we ask Mr. Assistant to bring some food over? We can’t go in to see Grandpa right now, so let’s just have dinner with Grandma. You and Mommy must still have things to take care of, right?”
He was very understanding, aware that the best thing he could do at that moment was to keep company. So, he willingly took on the responsibility of taking care of Wrenn.
Jean naturally had no objections, and as for Neera, she also felt that the arrangement was more appropriate.
Hence, Neera gave them a few instructions, then left them there for the time being, as she and Jean decided to depart temporarily.
Before she left, Wrenn suddenly called out to her.
Neera turned around, her expression cool. “Is there something you need?”
Wrenn came over, glanced at Jean, and hesitated. “Jean, could you let me have a word with Neera alone?”
Jean fell silent for a moment before walking away.
