Sylvia interrupted Kira, "Grandma, why are you still covering up for him? Look at what have you made him. He is an ungrateful jerk." Tears trickled down from Kira's eyes. "I'm sorry." Seeing Kira's tears, Sylvia regretted being too mean.
Kira brought her up. Thinking of this, Sylvia said, "I's my father's fault, not yours." She handed the soup to Kira. "Let's stop talking about this. Try the soup.” She let out a long breath to ease her discomfort.
Skyla's words repeated in Sylvia's mind. "Do you love your granddaughter more than your own son?" She recalled a piece of news she had seen a while back.
A paralyzed old woman was buried alive by her own son, but when her son was about to go to jail, the old woman came out to plead for him.
Sylvia suddenly understood why Kira never agreed to live with her although she had repeatedly invited Kira over the years.
No matter how close she was to Kira, Otto was Kira's son. A mother would never stop loving her son.
Perhaps, the person Kira loved the most was Otto.
After having some soup, Kira put down the bowl and glanced at Sylvia embarrassedly, "Sylvia, your dad's company seems to be in trouble recently.” "Grandma, are you trying to ask me to lend him money?" Sylvia felt more frustrated.
To her, 2 million was nothing.
However, when the request was made by Kira, Sylvia felt upset.
‘Grandma knew how Otto and Skyla abused me when | was little. But as she said, Otto is my dad. Do | have to support this shameless family only because | am Otto's daughter?’ thought Sylvia.
Kira saw that Sylvia's face turned livid. Her heart skipped a beat.
She knew that Sylvia always listened to her and loved her.
She couldn't bear to hurt Sylvia's feelings. But Otto was in trouble now. She couldn't bear to see Otto being pushed by his creditors either.
Finally, Kira sighed but said nothing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFranklin and Jasper entered the ward. Franklin noticed that the atmosphere in the ward was not quite right.
Jasper put down boxes of nutritional supplements and went to the door, waiting for orders.
Sylvia was upset. Seeing Franklin, she was even more upset.
"What brings you here?" "Frank visits me almost every day. When you are busy, he comes to chat with me." Kira explained.
Franklin glanced at Kira with gratitude.
"Grandma, how are you feeling today?" To ease the tense atmosphere, Kira glanced at Sylvia, then at Franklin, and said, "Pretty good. Frank, stop wasting your money. | have enough supplements here." Kira said nice words about Franklin.
Sylvia was a little surprised that Franklin visited Grandma every day.
Seriously? Did he get nothing else to do? She glanced at Franklin and met his dark eyes, which were shining.
She was stunned.
Franklin was like a kid from a kindergarten waiting to be praised, but he said modestly, "It's my duty to erase your boredom, grandma.” Sylvia was lost for words.
Franklin was so shameless.
He wasn't like that in front of other people.
Sylvia took a deep breath, suppressing her indescribable emotions, and looked out the window.
She had mixed feelings.
The Andrews family, Kira, and Franklin.
She rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a headache.
After staying in the ward for a while, she was about to leave.
Franklin followed her out immediately.
"What's wrong? Are you not happy?" "Nothing." Sylvia shook her head.
"Sweetie, you don't need to deal with the Andrews family. | will handle it for you," Franklin whispered.
Sylvia stopped in her tracks, looking up at him, "Franklin, Otto is out of cash. Did you do it?" She was deep in thought in the ward just now. The evidence Mark and Vaild got hadn't been handed up yet, but Otto was in trouble.
It turned out Franklin made it happen.
Should she describe him as considerate or cruel? She didn't know.
"Sweetie, | won't allow anyone to act against you!" Franklin paused, his voice cold and deep. "Not even your father." His tone of voice was domineering.
Sylvia was like a baby that needed him to take care of carefully.
Sylvia's throat was dry. She wanted to say something but was unable to open her mouth.
This feeling was weird.
She could feel tears in her eyes.
Kira, her dearest grandma, spoke for Otto. But Franklin stood up for her.
Franklin was on her side.
He was standing right behind her.
It gave her a feeling that she had never gotten from Logan and the other people that worked for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was a feeling. She felt guarded and loved.
She took a deep breath, then looked away and blinked.
She held back her tears.
Then she looked back at Franklin. "Thank you." Franklin kept staring at her, not missing an expression of her.
After a moment, he spoke, asking for rewards.
"Sweetie, if you want to thank me, why don't you have dinner with me today?" Sylvia glanced at him. She should have scolded him for interfering in her business.
She could handle Otto herself.
But...
She couldn't scold Franklin. She even appreciated his help.
She thanked him.
She had no idea what she was thinking.
It must be Franklin's fault.
Or perhaps it was because she was too sad hearing that Kira chose Otto instead of her. Maybe, it was because Otto went too far.
Franklin was the only one by her side all the time.
She couldn't figure out why.
She went to the supermarket with Franklin to purchase food.
Franklin only liked her dishes.
