Chloe Reed’s eyes began to sting. She blinked rapidly and lowered her gaze, struggling to keep her emotions in check so her grandmother wouldn’t notice anything was wrong. She could only hope that once the poison was completely flushed from her system, her grandmother’s symptoms would improve.
Her grandmother no longer looked at her, turning her gaze to the window instead. The sky had grown completely dark, and though it was pitch-black outside with nothing to see, the old woman stared without blinking. It seemed as if new wrinkles had etched themselves onto her aged face, and her entire being exuded an even deeper exhaustion.
Chloe Reed got up and went to the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face to compose herself. Lifting her gaze to her reflection in the mirror, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. ’Is this it? This seems far too easy for Charles Reed and Autumn Linton. They wanted to kill my grandmother!’
Chloe Reed slowly exhaled. ’I have to get them back. I have to make Charles Reed and Autumn Linton taste this same suffering.’
"You... Why are you here?"
Just then, her grandmother’s voice came from the outer room.
Chloe Reed hurried out and saw Walker Grant walking in. Her grandmother was staring at him, her gaze sluggish.
Walker Grant also noticed that something was wrong with her grandmother. His expression remained composed as he said gently, "I came to see you. How are you feeling?"
It took her grandmother a moment to respond. "I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep."
As she spoke, she began to shift, trying to lie down.
Chloe Reed’s brows furrowed. ’In just one day, Grandmother has already slept for so long. Is this really okay?’
She said, "Grandma, don’t sleep just yet. I’m going to go ask the doctor."
Her grandmother, who had lifted the covers, slowly put them back down upon hearing this. She nodded. "Alright. Go ask the doctor."
Chloe Reed looked at Aunt Woods. "Please take good care of my grandmother."
Aunt Woods nodded. "Don’t worry."
