Chapter 542
Back to the Wilson’s residence.
It happened to be lunchtime. Natalie asked Lena if there was anything she wanted to eat. Lena said that she was a little tired and wanted to sleep. She did not force her. She needed to give her some time to deal with this sudden illness.
Even Natalie needed time to take in everything that had happened. She felt that she hadn’t spent enough time with Lena in the past.
After sending Lena back to her room, Natalie went downstairs. She no longer had the smile on her face when she first entered the Wilson’s residence with Lena. Theo immediately knew what the problem was.
When she sat down on the sofa and petted Jasper’s head, Theo leaned on his walking stick and looked at her with slight heartache. He heaved a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, “Kiddo, did the results not go well?”
“Yes, Grandpa, it’s fine. I’ve already done the biopsy. The results will be out tomorrow.” The results of the checkup in her own facility would definitely come faster than anywhere else.
For a loyal child, to see their parents healthy would be the best scenario. Theo said in a low voice and sighed in his heart. “Don’t worry. If you can’t handle this problem. Let that brat come up with a solution. It will be fine.”
Natalie knew that although her grandfather said mean things about Trevon, he was actually considerate of him in all aspects. He just didn’t want Trevon to be too proud, so he did not dare to praise him. After all, that man could easily become full of himself when given a little compliment.
Rachel came in from outside. Seeing that no one was chatting and laughing as usual, she roughly knew the reason. She asked her daughter-in-law, “Natalie, what do you need the kitchen to prepare?”
Natalie’s heart was filled with warmth. She turned around to face her. She hoped that the people around her could be happy, healthy, and safe at the same time.
Regardless of whether one was rich or poor, their biggest issue in life would be their health and safety. Without these two things, it was useless no matter how much money they had. They would not be able to spend it even if they had the money.
“Mom, get the kitchen to make some oatmeal. It’s easy to digest.”
Rachel replied, “Okay.” She was not very good at comforting with words. All she could do was show it through her actions.
“Thanks, Mom.”
After dinner, Natalie carried a bowl of oatmeal to Lena’s room. When she pushed open the door, Lena was already up and had even washed up. When she saw her daughter enter, she rebuked, “Why are you bringing it to me? I can still move. It’s not your turn to serve me like this.”
Lena felt guilty. She felt that she had not helped much and had even caused trouble. Natalie was already very busy. She had three children and had to take care of them by herself most of the time. She also had to go to work and monitor the development of the base.
Meanwhile, Natalie felt that this was what she should do. So what if she carried oatmeal to Lena? Lena could eyen risk her life to save Jasper. Her actions could not be compared to Lena’s at all. “It’s fine. I have nothing to do. I should move around and take the stairs more often. Take your medicine after eating the food. You’ll feel better.”
Neither of them mentioned the biopsy because both of them could guess that the result would be bad. Lena picked up the bowl, picked up the spoon, and began to eat.
Natalie, on the other hand, collected the clothes that Lena had changed out of and prepared to take them down to wash them herself. She knew that Lena liked to have her clothes washed by hand by herself and did not like to get help from the
servants.
Seeing this, Lena quickly stopped her. “Leave it here. I’ll wash it later. You don’t have to do this. I can still do that.”
“It’s not that much clothes. I need to wash Jasper’s clothes anyway. I’ll wash yours too. Eat first. Leave the bowl after you’re done. I’ll come and collect it later.”
Seeing how stubborn Natalie was, Lena could only give up. Her eyes were filled with tears that kept flickering. What did she do to deserve to have Natalie in her life? She even wanted to help her hand wash her clothes.
Half an hour later, a man in a black down jacket came in from the door and strode towards the living room. Theo stopped his grandson when he saw him coming back. He knew that he was going to look for his wife.
That was the first thing he did every day when he returned home, like a baby looking for breast milk all the time. Theo slammed his walking stick on the ground and made a deafening sound. “Stop right there.”
Trevon was eager to go upstairs. He saw his son playing with the repaired plane, beside him was Lego. “Grandpa, I have to ask you to wait with whatever you want to do. I need to see Natalie and the child first. Has Jasper been a good child today?” “Yeah, I have.” Jasper was already used to his father coming back every day to greet him before going to look for his mother.
He replied to his father with an indifferent tone.
Seeing that his grandson continued to prepare to go upstairs as if he had not heard him, Theo waited until Trevon was upstairs before saying, “She isn’t upstairs. She’s washing clothes. You will not find her upstairs. I told you to wait, but you refused to listen. You’re as stubborn as a donkey. Come over and let me tell you something.”
Trevon felt that his grandfather did it on purpose, but he didn’t have any evidence. Why didn’t he tell him that sooner?
Trevon felt helpless and came down from upstairs and approached the sofa. However, his toes were still facing the door. His heart was clearly not there. “Grandpa, what’s the matter?”
“It won’t take up much of your time. If you were so clingy two years earlier, would you have ended up like this? This is all your fault.”
“Grandpa, can we get over this matter now? I already have three children, but you’re still not satisfied. No matter how dissatisfied you are, I won’t have another child. At most, I’ll have three.”
Theo said in a resentful tone, “Do I look like I want you to have more children? Even if you’re willing, I don’t want the girl to suffer anymore. I want to talk to you about Lena. Natalie took her to have a checkup today. The results are probably not going to be ideal. You should talk to her. Lena has been part of her family since she was young. We’re not even as close to her as she is. She means differently for the girl. Additionally, with the matter of Jasper…”
Theo did not continue, but the scene of his great-grandson’s car accident had already appeared in his mind. He sighed and glared at his grandson. “Did you hear me?”
