Giana acted like a loving grandaunt who cared about Jimmy, and Martha was almost touched.
However, she smelt something fishy in her words.
Jimmy pretended to be naive and replied, "Grandaunt, I'm lucky. I'm not pitiful."
Giana had to hold back her tears.
She saw Jimmy widen his eyes while staring at her and look seriously. Inwardly, Giana cursed him.
However, she still showed her care. "Jimmy, be obedient during the treatment. Take pills on time. I'll come to see you frequently in the future."
She wanted to pat Jimmy's head as she spoke, but the boy dodged.
Watching them, Martha explained Jimmy didn't feel well.
In fact, Jimmy was a polite boy. He did so only because he disliked the two strange women.
Martha also disliked them, but Giana was an elder.
Besides, Martha didn't know her well, so she couldn't recklessly think Giana was unkind.
After talking to Jimmy, Giana gave Martha some kind reminders to take care of the boy like a typical elder from the Harrison family.
"Stefan's parents have passed away. I'm his only elder now. If you and Jimmy need anything in the future, please let me know."
Giana held Martha's hand while speaking nice words. Martha consciously took her out of the ward and glanced at Amanda, who followed her mother in silence all the time.
Martha didn't want Jimmy to hear anything between her and Stefan.
In the corridor, Giana was still nagging.
"I've known everything about you, Martha. Stefan has been ruthless since childhood. I didn't expect him to do those things to harm you. I feel so ashamed."
Giana repeatedly blamed Stefan.
"Fortunately, you don't hate him. After he has done so many things to hurt you, you gave birth to Jimmy. Such a lovely boy...
"Martha, you are indeed a tolerant wife. We, the Harrison family, owe you an apology."
Martha finally understood Giana's implications.
