"Mom, what's wrong? I just went to sleep, and you fell?" Addy cried as she ran to the hospital. She groped on Grandma Eva as if she were caressing her.
"Halbert, it's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to sleep. I didn't expect that Mom would go around when I was asleep." Addy was jealous as she saw Halbert and Cathy being together.
"It's not your fault. Mom might have not slept well. Let's wait for the results and see if there is anything else wrong with her." Halbert comfort Addy as he saw her crying so sadly.
What happened a few days ago made Halbert hate Grandma Eva very much. He had told her that he would not like Addy, but she still kept pushing his buttons.
Halbert felt that Addy was also very poor. She was forced to marry him by Grandma Eva, but she couldn't get his love and be alone. Halbert wanted to compensate her with money, but she forsook everything when they divorced and didn't give him a hard time.
"But I feel so guilty. You asked me to take care of Mom, but I couldn't." Addy sobbed. She now felt at ease. As long as Mom didn't wake up, she would be safe.
"It's not your fault," said Halbert as he held Cathy's hand, which made Addy feel so uncomfortable.
"Dad, how's Grandma?" Richard quickly put down his work and rushed here as he heard the news of Grandma's fall. Although Grandma Eva was not welcome in the family, she was an elder and he had to take care of her.
"She's safe now, but she may not wake up for a while. She is too old to recover from her injuries," Halbert said to Richard.
Richard looked at his grandmother. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her face was pale and wrinkled.
"What's the matter?" Richard looked at Addy.
"It has nothing to do with Ms. Cliff. She was taking a nap and grandma was walking outside and fell," Halbert said.
Halbert had been holding Cathy's hand all the time. He wanted to explain his business to her, but he didn't have a chance. When they were back to the car, Halbert wanted to explain to her.
"No. It's all my fault. I should have believed you." Cathy covered Halbert's mouth.
Richard was envious to see their parents loved each other so much. When could he be able to be with the one he loved?
However, what happened recently annoyed him. All the evidences were unfavorable to Amy, but she seemed not to be aware of it. It made him feel strange, as if he could got the news, Amy should also know it.
Anyway, Richard had to ask Amy about it.
"Allison, what should we do? Amy is trying to save the HD Group. Our efforts may lead to no end." Sophia found Allison and told her everything she knew.
