Chapter 270
Gloria had just walked out of the kitchen, and Nicole was holding a bowl of hot soup she had prepared for her.
She drank it without any expression and said, “Thanks, Mom.”
‘The base is all fine and dandy, but the chef is just nowhere as good as Gloria’s cooking.’
“Really.
You look really haggard over these past two days.
You must’ve gone through a lot.” Thinking Nicole taking care of Mr. Riddle Sr.
for the past few days, Gloria could not help but feel distressed.
“It’s fine.
It’s my duty.
Only when grandpa gets better that you two will be at ease.” If it were not for her parents, she would not have activated the branch for the sake of the old man.
However, seeing that both Gloria and Daniel were at peace now, she felt everything was worth
it.
“Silly girl.
You need to take good care of yourself for mom not to worry.” Her dark circles were so pronounced it was clear that she had not been resting well for the past few days.
“Alright, once we get home, I’ll take a good rest.” With Mr. Riddle Sr. now hale again, she could indeed relax.
“Good.” Gloria nodded, feeling relieved.
As the two spoke, Dexter and Emma came back with Ellar and Emery in tow.
Even Miley brought Everett over to visit.
Karen rushed over with Preston, and Snow and Raine arrived at last for fear of missing the opportunity.
Yet when they arrived, they were still last no matter how they rushed!
But they had no other way but to just bite the bullet and head in to see the old man now.
Mr. Riddle Sr’s awakening was a big matter, and everyone in the Riddle family rushed home, almost filling his room to the brim.
Mr. Riddle Sr. leaned against the bed as he looked at everyone.
Although his face was pale, he still had a presence and vigor about him.
The only difference was that normally he would be flanked by Damien and Dillon.
After Dillon sat down, he looked at his original spot, now taken by Daniel, and a look of resentment appeared in his eyes.
Nicole sat to the left of her elder brother while Samuel sat to her right.
“Grandpa, you’re finally well! You really scared
“Yeah, Grandpa! You scared us by falling so ill so suddenly!” As Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at their eyes, his anger toward Dillon subsided a little.
His eyes gradually became calmer as he said, “Good girls, at least you still know how to worry about grandpa.
Grandpa didn’t love you guys for nothing.”
Snow and Raine both nodded and wanted to sit by grandpa’s side as usual.
