The chattering continued until they reached the living room. Hector was in his wheelchair with a cold look.
As he saw Alice, his eyes moved and widened.
“Mmm…”
He tried to lift his hand, but he could not. The wheelchair was shaking.
Seeing that, the nurse quickly came over. “Old Mr. Lowen, please calm down. Take a deep breath.”
Alice saw Hector’s reaction and smiled.
Look how excited he is. I wonder how he’ll react when he sees his great-grandchildren.
Juliette sat beside Old Mr. Lowen and stretched out her small hand. “Old Mr. Handsome, do you want some candy?”
Hector was about to calm down. However, once he saw Juliette’s little hand and heard her sweet voice, he was stirred up even more.
He rolled his eyes, and it scared Alice’s heart out.
“Bring Old Mr. Lowen back to his room! Let him stay there for the night.”
The housekeepers and nurse then pushed Hector back to his room. He tried to mutter something as his head was tilted. Unfortunately, no one understood he did not wish to leave.
He wanted to see and play with the kids. Sadly, no one could understand him.
When his bedroom door was closed, the atmosphere quietened instantly.
Juliette then unwrapped her candy and fed it into her mouth.
“So sweet!”
In the meantime, Justin and Julian sat down with their backs straight. Their cool stance attracted a lot of the housekeepers’ attention.
Gwendolyn passed the fruits and coffee to a housekeeper. “Old Mrs. Lowen, I brought some fruits and coffee. It’s not anything fancy, just a small gift from me.”
Alice held onto Gwendolyn’s hands. “I’m extremely happy just to have you visit me. You didn’t have to bring anything. Thank you, Gwen.”
Justin answered with merely a word, “Thanks.”
Julian then had a bright smile. “Thank you, Old Mrs. Pretty.”
After that, Alice got up. “Gwen, make yourself at home. I’ll go check the kitchen.”novelxo.com fast update
Gwendolyn was following Juliette, afraid that the latter would cause havoc. Upon hearing Alice, she turned around and replied, “All right, Old Mrs. Lowen.”
Alice then entered the kitchen and gave her eldest grandchild a call.
After a while, he picked up. “Grandma, what’s the matter?”
“Can’t your grandma call you anytime, Pat?”
Patrick always answered Alice’s calls with the same sentence, and she did not like that.
“That’s not what I meant. I’m busy right now. Can I call you a little later?
