Walker quickly reached out to steady her.
Chloe quickly asked, "Grandma, are you alright?"
The old woman stared blankly for a few seconds before shaking her head. "I’m fine, I’m fine. Just a little weak. I’ve been lying down for too long..."
The old woman even gave Chloe a reassuring smile.
Chloe quickly lowered her gaze and supported her grandmother, helping her walk slowly back and forth inside the room.
After just a few laps, the old woman was exhausted, and the color had drained from her face.
"I’m tired, so tired..."
Chloe helped her lean back against the headboard and asked, "Is there anything you’d like to eat?"
The old woman stared blankly ahead, her eyes growing more cloudy and vacant. After a long moment, she said, "Noodles. Let’s have noodles."
Chloe nodded. "Okay."
Just then, Walker spoke up. "Grandma, when you’re discharged in a few days, why don’t you come live with us at Jardinelle? Jardinelle is very big. You can grow flowers and vegetables there, and even raise cats and dogs."
Hearing this, Chloe immediately furrowed her brow and shot him a look.
’How could he say that to Grandma right now? Grandma already knows we’re getting a divorce. If he invites her to live with us at a time like this, what is she going to think?’
But Walker didn’t look at her, simply keeping a gentle smile fixed on the old woman.
The old woman paused for a few seconds before nodding. "Alright."
Her answer stunned both Walker and Chloe. Neither of them had expected her to agree!
"Chloe."
The old woman suddenly took her hand, her eyes filled with affection. "You’re not getting a divorce anymore, are you? If you don’t want to, then just forget about it and live your lives together."
Chloe’s expression stiffened.
A faint, happy smile touched the corners of Walker’s lips.
