In this 39-degree weather, what she wears is her freedom. Nowadays, young girls tend to wear a tank top with hot pants. Cheyenne felt that her outfit was already conservative.
"Mr. Foley, we are already divorced. You are in no position to tell me what to wear. Think I'm embarrassing? Then why did you invite me?"
Did Kelvin think she, Cheyenne, was very good-tempered? Hearing her emphasize it, Kelvin felt a surge of anger, feeling both stifled and uncomfortable.
The confrontation between the two was a perplexing act in Franklin's eyes. Cheyenne disliked Kelvin, so why did she agree to come and help treat old Mr. Foley? He thought perhaps there was a tendency for them to remarry, but now it seemed their relationship was still as contentious as ever, with remarriage a distant prospect.
Of course, this was the result Franklin was most happy to see. Otherwise, dealing with Kelvin and involving Cheyenne and Layne would be a headache.
In the midst of their argument, old Mr. Foley gradually woke up. He struggled to open his tightly closed eyes, his gaze blurred. When he recognized Cheyenne among the blurry figures, he was moved to tears. He reached out his frail hand and grabbed her wrist, his voice hoarse.
"Cheyenne... Cheyenne, you're here. I... I thought you, you were mad at me."
Seeing his weak appearance, Cheyenne felt her nose tingled. She allowed old Mr. Foley to hold her hand, consoling him softly, "Grandpa, take good care of yourself. I will cure you."
Previously, she couldn't promise to save old Mr. Foley, but now having mastered the Thirteen Needles, her chances of success were greater than before.
Emelia, watching this heartwarming scene, felt a lot of resentment and jealousy. Adrian, embarrassed after being slapped in the face, stood aside. He exchanged a glance with Vincent, who shook his head, indicating that he shouldn't act recklessly.
This brief eye contact did not escape Kelvin's eyes. He was slightly surprised to see that Vincent and Adrian... didn't seem like they had just met recently.
"Now that old Mr. Foley has awakened, I'm no longer needed here. There are some matters I need to attend to; allow me to take my leave."
He politely bid farewell to everyone and turned to leave.
"Dad, I'll see Mr. Edwards off."
Vincent followed Adrian out of the bedroom.
...
Old Mr. Foley had awakened, gripping Cheyenne's hand tightly to prevent her from leaving. Tears welled up in his eyes as he expressed his concern about what would happen if she left and he had another episode at night.
"Grandpa, it won't happen. I've prescribed medicine. As long as you take it, you won't have an episode in the short term. Next week, I'll bring a treatment plan to see how you're doing."
She needed to go back and check on Master Iker.
Although her own grandpa was watching over and there shouldn't be any major issues, staying in the Foley mansion made her feel strange, especially with Emelia openly targeting her.
Kelvin's face darkened as he noticed Cheyenne's hesitant expression, suddenly thinking of another possibility.
The reason Cheyenne didn't want to stay wasn't just because of him; it was likely she was still concerned about someone else.
Even though she said so, old Mr. Foley still didn't want to let go of her hand. "Cheyenne, your room stays unchanged. Stay for one night and have dinner."
"Just consider it as keeping me company."
The pleading look in the old man's eyes softened Cheyenne's heart. A faint hint of softness appeared on her cold face as she nodded slightly.
