"Mr. Williams, do you want to tell me something? If not, I'm leaving." When Lannan saw all this, she knew that it was not a nice place to stay.
"Aren't you here to see grandma? Are you leaving without seeing her?" Lambert asked.
Since Lambert asked, she didn't hide it anymore. "I have taken care of grandma for a while. I'm really not used to living without her, so I came to see how she is recovering. I can feel at ease after seeing her."
"Really? Grandma is fine, but she's a little worried when she can't see Jessica. She's not in a very good mood because of this." Lambert said and looked at Lannan.
Lannan's hand was under the coffee table, and she clenched her sleeve, afraid that she would show any signs. She smiled and said, "Is Miss White okay? I haven't seen her for a long time. I was going to call her and ask grandma about her situation, but I couldn't reach her on the phone at all."
"You can't reach her?" Lambert asked.
Lannan shook her head and said, "It's been a long time since I saw her."
As soon as Lambert heard that, he put down the glass in his hand with a loud sound. He was probably a little worried. He didn't use much strength, but he made them sound so loud.
Lannan was so frightened by Lambert's movement that she didn't even dare to breathe. She didn't know what she had said wrong.
"Didn't she contact you?"
Lambert had been keeping an eye on the surveillance cameras to see who was the first person to see grandma. That person must know Jessica's whereabouts.
He had thought before that it would be Martin or Sally who would come to visit her. Maybe Jessica didn't want to cause any more trouble for them, so she let the most inconspicuous person, Lannan, go and ask for news.
Anyway, Lambert couldn't do anything to Lannan, and he couldn't affect Lannan's career. This was why Jessica thought about it again and again before she asked Lannan to come.
"No," Lannan answered.
"If Jessica contacts you, please tell her that grandma already knows the fact that she left Birmingham. Because she was too worried, her conditions became worse and she has been transferred to the intensive care unit."
When Lannan heard this, her look changed and she looked anxious. She asked, "Then Mr. Williams, can I go and visit grandma now?"
"Sure, I'll get someone to take you there."
After saying that, Lambert looked at the man in black.
The man in black took Lannan to the intensive care unit.
Because the intensive care unit was sterile, people had to wear protective clothing when they went in.
After putting on the protective suit, Lannan was taken to a ward by a nurse.
The nurse said to her, "Now that the patient is resting, outsiders are not allowed to enter in case of infection by the virus."
Lannan had no choice but to stand in the corridor and look in through the glass window.
She saw a white-haired elder lying on the bed with an oxygen mask on. Because of the distance and the oxygen mask covering her face, she could not see her clearly.
But it should be grandma since Lambert had told her so and she came here uninvited. Maybe grandma really fell ill again.
After thanking the nurse, Lannan went out of the intensive care unit and left the hospital directly.
As soon as she got home, she called Jessica and told her everything she saw in the hospital.
Jessica's hand holding the phone was trembling.
She couldn't believe it. She also thought about the possibility that Lambert had deliberately set such a trap to lure her back.
'However, what if grandma really fell ill again because of me?'
