"Let me show you Chris." Anya took out her phone and showed her daughter's photos and videos to Lorie, which could help ease Lorie's sadness.
As expected, Lorie was holding Anya's phone tightly.
"Beautiful."
"Cute."
"She's pretty."
Lorie admired her granddaughter while looking at the photos.
It was not flattery but sincere praise. The baby was so beautiful and cute in a porcelain sort of way.
In the first few photos, Chris looked a bit wrinkled in the incubator. But in the photos and videos taken recently, Chris looked very adorable with pink skin and it melted Lorie's heart. She really wanted to cuddle Chris in her arms and cherish her.
Seeing videos and photos of Chris, Anya said in a softer tone, "When she grows bigger, I'll take her back to see you."
"Okay." Lorie nodded happily, hoping that she could recover better by then and could hug the baby in her arms.
When Lorie finally gave the phone back to Anya, Anya then shifted the topic, "I came back this time to visit you and deal with Gracie and her mother."
Last time, Phil and Anya speculated that there was more to Lorie's car accident based on the word "car" mentioned by Lorie.
Phil carried out an investigation, and the evidence showed Luna was involved in it.
"I've seen that driver," Lorie said with difficulty.
It was a truck that collided with her car. Before Lorie fell into a coma, she saw the truck driver's face. He was a distant relative of Luna and had been driving for her.
She investigated Morgan and Luna after knowing that Morgan had an affair because she wanted to collect evidence and know how much money Morgan had given to Luna and Gracie over the years. That amount of money belonged to both of them, so she had the right to get the money back.
So, she knew the relationship between the truck driver and Luna from the investigation.
Maybe Luna knew Lorie's investigation and was afraid that Lorie would get the money back, so she wanted to kill Lorie.
Anya nodded, "Phil has got that driver under control. He suggested that I should deal with Morgan's new family when I returned home."
When she mentioned Phil, a trace of uneasiness flashed across her eyes.
No one told Lorie that Anya and Phil had broken up, for fear that Lorie would be unhappy.
Lorie knew that Anya had been repelling Phil all the time. Lorie believed Anya had opened her heart to him and accepted him after Phil took the bullet for Anya to protect her and the baby.
Anya did open her heart to him and accept him, but what Lorie didn't know was that Phil was flinching. Thus, she always thought that they should be happy together now.
Hearing Anya's words about Phil's decision, Lorie couldn't help but give a thumbs up. She still had difficulty speaking, so she showed her approval and satisfaction with Phil through her movement.
Anya felt a bit sad.
Lorie didn't know what was going on between Anya and Phil, and Anya had pushed him to give a clear answer. If it was a negative one, Anya didn't know how she should explain it to Lorie.
Lorie had suffered a lot. So, Anya hoped that Lorie would be happy every day in her life and free from sadness or worries.
