Silvia's tears fell down. She shifted the topic to the two brothers again, "Your brother is in his 40s and you are in your 30s. Both make me worry. You don’t want to think for yourself, anyway, please think about me, okay? I’m getting older and older day by day. But I haven’t had a grandchild yet!"
Sean was speechless.
Every time the topic came up, Sean would respond in silence, because comforting words would not help, unless he could take action.
"Your eldest brother and your sister-in-law are in the current state. I can't force them. But you are different. In short, you must make it clear with me today. When will the wedding be held? If you don’t hold the wedding, from tomorrow on, I will follow you all day. I want to see what you are doing all day and even have no time to get married!"
Silvia finally said such words.
Sean pondered for a moment, raised his head, and glanced at Wilson, who was standing in front of the drinking fountain not far away and waiting for the water to boil. Then he said, "I have a piece of important news. Do you want to listen to?"
Silvia's eyes brightened, "What...?"
Sean approached Silvia's ear, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Brother may have a daughter..."
"What?" Silvia almost jumped up when she heard the words.
Sean held on to the excited old lady, then looked back in Wilson's direction. Seeing that Wilson didn't look over, he continued, "It's still not confirmed. Don't be so excited. This time, he returned just for this matter. But he doesn't want to make it public before the matter is confirmed. In short, you just pretend not to know, and you have to keep it from my Dad. Just wait until the matter becomes clear."
The tears of Silvia shed even more fiercely. She didn't know if she was sad or happy. She held Sean's arm tightly, crying out.
After controlling her emotions, she couldn't help asking, "How old is the girl? Where does she live? What is her name? How is she? Can you take me to see her first?"
Facing with a series of questions, Sean was silent. It seemed that today's trick to divert attention didn’t work...
Wilson waited until the water boiled and then got some water. Silvia also left the sofa cheerfully. Before leaving, she did not forget to say to herself with a happy face, "If this thing is true, I will have a granddaughter..."
Looking at Silvia like this, Sean only felt a headache.
Wilson placed the water cup on the coffee table on his left, glanced back at the muttering old lady, and then asked, "What were you talking about just now? I saw mother crying and laughing."
Sean shrugged, "I lied to her and said that you have a daughter outside. She believes in it..."
Wilson was stunned when he heard the words, then he shook his head helplessly. He laughed in a low voice, "Take me out again as a shield... But what you said is right. Maybe Emma is really my daughter. ..."
There was a soft clash from the coffee table. It was Sean who knocked over the water glass.
Wilson was in a panic. He threw the water glass and checked the injury on the back of Sean's hand. Sean got a serious burned. The whole glass of hot water was poured on the back of his hand...
...
In the ward of the Central Hospital, Jessie was crying with hugging Simon.
