Lynch Mansion.
Granny Lynch was in the courtyard with a lollipop in one hand and a teddy bear in the other, trying to cheer Nellie up.
"Be happy, my precious darling. Come on, smile. Smile for Great-Granny!"
Nellie, dressed in a pink princess gown and sitting on the lawn, tried to squeeze out a smile but could not do i t no matter what.
When she finally could, it looked worse compared to when she was crying.
Adrian furrowed his brows. "Mom, stop making it difficult for her. The doctors already said that her mental illness was due to the brain not secreting enough dopamine. You can't make her smile happily just by asking her to smile."
He glanced at Lily, who was waiting in the distance." Take Nellie back. Remember to feed her her medication.”
Lily nodded. She cautiously walked over, carried Nellie, and took her back into the mansion.
"How unfortunate.” Granny Lynch sighed. "I never once liked that kid Neil, but who would’ve thought that he’d die at such a young age of six. My precious
darling great-granddaughter had to witness the entire explosion, too. She's only six! How could she not be affected by the sight of her brother blasted into pieces? Sigh.
"Tell me: how could Alice bear to do such things?
They're still young children and her own flesh and blood. How could she do it?"
Adrian sighed. He gently patted Granny Lynch's shoulder. "Things have already happened-it's pointless to say anything anymore. The thing we have to do now is to take good care of Nellie and cure Nigel, and..."
Adrian narrowed his eyes. "We can't let Joshua get too close to Luna. We can’t let them get married.”
Granny Lynch calmly took a deep breath. "Do you think we can really stop him?”
All this while, she understood clearly that the elderly could not meddle in Joshua's affairs.
