"Miss Harold, is it?" As Ruby had just arrived at the entrance of the hospital, she saw Old Lady Sutton waiting there, looking at her with a complicated gaze.
Ruby looked at Cara in front of her suspiciously, not sensing any malice in her, so she was silent for a moment before she opened her mouth and asked, "You are looking for me? If you want to ask about Taylor's condition, I suggest you go directly to the doctors at the hospital, they will give you a very satisfactory answer."
"No, I'm not looking for them, I'm looking for you." Old Lady Sutton shook her head, her gaze never leaving Ruby's face.
Ruby felt that Old Lady Sutton in front of her was strange, her eyes held a hint of nostalgia and seemed sad, and she had a feeling that Old Lady Sutton seemed to be looking at someone through her.
"What is wrong?" Ruby glanced at the time, it was getting late at this hour, if she didn't go back now, there would definitely be traffic on the road and she would be late arriving home.
"Let's get in the car and talk, shall we?" Old Lady Sutton lifted her hand and rubbed the corners of her dry eyes.
Ruby hesitated for a moment before nodding and following Old Lady Sutton to the car parked at the roadside.
It was only after she got into the car that Old Lady Sutton spoke with emotion, "I thought I would never see you again in this life."
"You've seen me before?" Ruby was a little surprised at her words, she recalled carefully and was quite sure that she had never seen Old Lady Sutton before.
Old Lady Sutton pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head without saying anything.
Ruby was bewildered by her reaction.
"Is your mother okay? Can you take me to meet her?" Old Lady Sutton was silent for a long time before she asked.
"Old Lady Sutton, my mother is no longer alive." Ruby was more and more certain at this point that she must not have known Old Lady Sutton, otherwise she could not have even known about her mother's death.
Old Lady Sutton was slightly stunned for a while before she muttered to herself, "She has passed away?...... So, do you still have any relatives at home? Can you take me to meet them?"
Ruby felt that Old Lady Sutton's attitude was strange, and she stared at Old Lady Sutton for a while, silent for a moment, before nodding her head.
After telling the driver the address, Old Lady Sutton did not continue talking. The car drove all the way to Shangcheng International and was stopped at the entrance of the community.
Ruby rolled down the car window and spoke to the security guard before she opened the door and let them in.
After Old Lady Sutton got out of the car, she surveyed the neighborhood in front of her before quietly following behind Ruby.
"Grandma, I'm back." Opening the door and entering, Ruby shouted into the house.
"It is good that you are back." Cara didn't raise her head, watching the television intently.
No one else was at home, Levi had gone off somewhere, and Olivia hadn't come out.
Ruby changed her shoes and brought a new pair of shoes to Old Lady Sutton, who changed her shoes and followed her in the door.
When she saw Cara, Old Lady Sutton had some excitement in her eyes, but tried her best to control her emotions.
