Yolanda, upon assessing the current situation, piped up, "Alright, for me, Arabella will always be my sister; even if she made our family cough up six million dollars, I still get her; I don't want to be at odds with her."
After her speech, she glanced at Attlee and said, "I remember Grannie Grace has a thing for almond cream soup. I Googled it; the soup's loaded with protein, good for nutrition replenishment, and perfect for the sick. Plus, it's smooth and easy to digest, so I made a bit extra. Dad, you should have a taste later, okay?"
Suddenly, she shrieked, "Oh no, I forgot to turn off the stove!"
From the kitchen, he could hear her say, "Phew, the soup's not ruined. Where’s our thermos? I need to store the soup. I need something that seals well."
Seeing Attlee still rooted to the spot, Olga stepped forward and said, "You see that? Yoli's got our backs, unlike Arabella, who's cold as ice! We ought to treat her better from now on!"
With the soup packed, Yolanda instructed the servants, "Can you guys carry the other stuff I prepared for Grannie Grace to the car, please? Thanks heaps."
Upon hearing this, Attlee couldn't help but ask, "Besides food, what else did you prepare?"
"I got a lumbar pillow; it'll make Grannie Grace more comfortable when she sits."
"There's also a tablet, so she can watch her favorite shows. I've got all her favorites downloaded—all the shows with her favorite actors."
"And flowers, Grannie Grace has been stuck inside for ages; she hasn't seen the outside world in a while. The bouquet will remind her of the beauty of summer!"
Yolanda rattled off a long list, her face beaming with happiness and joy.
Attlee couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt; Grannie Grace always doted on Arabella and never cared much for Yoli, yet here was Yoli going the extra mile!
That was truly something!
In room 301 of Hope Hospital's Inpatient Department, an old lady with white hair lay peacefully in bed.
