The old woman gently stroked her hair and said slowly, "I was prepared for this. From the moment she offered to take care of me, I knew she had an ulterior motive."
Chloe Reed looked confused. "Then why did you let her stay and take care of you?"
Her grandmother sighed. "It’s absurd, I know, but I wanted to see if there was any sincerity in her at all."
And the result was, inevitably, a disappointment.
Chloe Reed leaned her head on the bed by her grandmother’s hand again, her heart aching.
’That’s her own daughter. The daughter she carried for nine months, the one she brought into this world with such high hopes.’
’To be treated like this by her now... how could her grandmother not be utterly disheartened?’
Chloe Reed closed her eyes for a moment. "I’ll make her apologize to you."
Her grandmother just gave a faint smile, saying nothing more.
"..."
「The next day.」
Chloe Reed was busy until noon, when she received a call from Charles Reed. "I brought your mother to see your grandmother, but we can’t get in."
"I’ll be right there," Chloe Reed said coolly.
She hung up, said a quick word to Kyle Coleman, and left for the hospital.
When she reached the door to the hospital room, she saw Charles Reed and Autumn Linton standing there.
Her gaze landed squarely on Autumn Linton.
Though it had only been a few days, Autumn Linton had grown thin and haggard, losing the radiant glow she usually wore as a society wife.

The old woman lay in her bed, her expression placid.
