Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 128

"Okay, I know! Anything else?"

"Well, that's all!" Colin ended the phone call.

Herring hadn't told Colin about what was going on between him and Shelly.

Renee was still recovering, owing to the operation she had undergone, so Sophia and Aaron always accompanied her.

The doctor had revealed to them that the old lady's recovery would depend on her progress in the next couple of days. The siblings talked it over and finally decided to tell Jay what was going on.

Aaron accompanied Jay to the bathroom, while Sophia stayed behind to peel some fruit.

10 minutes later, they walked out of the bathroom. Except for Jay's blood-shot and puffy eyes, everything seemed to be normal.

Sophia hesitated for a while and then addressed Jay, "Father, Grandma's also in this hospital. Would you like to see her?"

Jay ignored her as usual.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Sophia put down the fruit. "Aaron, take father to pay grandma a visit! I'm sure she would appreciate it."

"Okay." The siblings coaxed Jay out of the ward with a lollipop.

They had just walked away when a woman in black appeared, following them in silence. Looking ordinary with a baseball cap on her head, she took out her phone and dialled a number. "The siblings have taken Jay to visit the old lady. Should I keep following?"

"How's Jay doing?" Gregary asked, his voice dropping to a whisper.

"Still insane. Sophia coaxed him out of the room with a lollipop." The woman answered. Earlier on, she had installed a sound monitor inside the ward so she could hear their conversations.

"Okay, I'll ask Tab to follow them from afar. You can come back." Gregary replied, after a brief moment of silence, as he considered a few issues.

"Yes, Sir!"

...

Seeing his mother hooked up to several machines and numerous tubes in the ICU, a flush of red washed across Jay's face. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.

Standing by the door, Sophia made sure that there was no one following them. Then, she asked Jay to remove his disguise.

"Mother, it's my fault. I shouldn't have left you home alone." Jay sighed. Aaron had told him what had happened when they were in the bathroom. His elder brother had taken his wife and kids and escaped, but left their mother alone in the village to live by herself.

If Colin and Sophia hadn't gone to the village, Renee could have been dead already.

Maybe there was a connection between them. Momentarily, Renee gained consciousness and called out to her son, "Jay... Is that you...?"

"Mother, it's me, it's me!" Jay held her hand.

"Father, don't cry. Grandmother's operation was successful, so she can leave the hospital soon. Isn't that good news?" Aaron tried to comfort Jay.

Jay wiped his tears. " Yes. Okay, I won't cry. Mother, I promise you, we will be together soon!"

"Fine, fine!" Renee smiled weakly, seemingly happy.

Sophia was weeping by the door, thankful that there were a few people around allowing her father and grandmother to see each other.

However, it wasn't a permanent solution to have father portrayed as a madman. What would they do?

Three days after Colin had left, Herring entered grandmother's ward causing Sophia to rub her eyes in disbelief. "Herring? How do you know we were here?"
