When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 870

Chapter 0870 

Madison’s words sounded blunt, but she wasn’t wrong

Joli scratched his head awkwardly. Icouldn’t remember your phone numbers, so” 

What about Theodore? Don’t tell me his phone broke too?” 

At the mention of Theodore, the light in Joli’s eyes dimmed considerably. He’s still unconscious and still in the hospital, so he can’t use his phone” 

The three exclaimed in unison, Unconscious?” 

Miranda asked, What happened to him?” 

Speaking of which, it does involve my family. It’s” 

Suddenly, a coughing sound came from the bedroom. Joli seemed to remember something and quickly turned toward the kitchen. As he left, he called back to the three of them. I’m sorry, you guys take a seat for now. Julie, pour some water for our guests.” 

Julie obediently fetched three rustic cups and began pouring hot water from a thermos. Madison quickly waved her hands: Don’t trouble yourself, Julie! I’m not thirsty!” 

However, she didn’t listen and still poured a cup for each of them

Thank you,Miranda said

No need to thank me. You’re my brother’s friends,she replied. Then, Julie pointed to the couch in a corner. Please take a seat. I’ll go check inside 

With that, she headed to the kitchen

The bitter scent of herbs hit Miranda as soon as she entered the house. Sure enough… 

The pot on the stove was already sizzling loudly Joli wrapped the handle with a cloth, lifted it carefully, and poured the steaming herbal medicine into three bowls

This was his mother’s daily dose of medicine

He usually brewed the medicine all at once and divided it into three portions. The last two doses would be reheated later to save on firewood. Then, he poured out the dregs and cleaned the pot thoroughly

Finally, Joli picked up a bowl of herbal medicine, walked through the living room, and into one of the bedrooms

Mom, the medicine is ready. I’ll help you to drink it.” 

Alright.” 

Chapter 0870 

Madison couldn’t help but stand up and follow Joli. However, she politely stopped at the doorway without stepping inside

An elderly woman, Wanda Miller, lay on the bed. She appeared frail and had a head of white hair. She was covered with a thick quilt that had been washed so many times that the color 

had faded

The bitter taste of herbal medicine permeated the air, but it couldn’t mask the heavy atmosphere of hopelessness and gloom looming over the room

It was hard to describe the feeling, but the atmosphere in the bedroom felt stifling and depressing

Yet, Joli seemed oblivious. He carefully fed Wanda her medicine and food, wiped her mouth, washed her hands, and gently helped her lie back down before tucking her in

After completing all this, he left the room and closed the door behind him

Joli turned back to see the three people waiting for him in the living room. His younger sister was looking at him expectantly

At that moment, a wave of helplessness hit him. There was so much to say, but he didn’t know where to start

Madison and Sebastian had never encountered a situation like this before

While they were shocked and taken aback, they felt saddened at the same time. However, they held their emotions in check, making no odd noises or exaggerated expressions of shock
