Chapter 849
Old Madam Shelby patted Mrs. Larson’s shoulder to reassure her. “Alright, enough. Don’t let Charlie see you like
this, or else he will be even more upset.”
Mrs. Larson sniffed and said, “Mrs. Shelby, I need to calm myself down in the room…”
The old lady composed herself, and walked to the door. “Charlie, Edith, Nia, you all are here finally. I am so worried
that you will not come.”
Nia was sensible enough as she was helping Charlie to get out of the car with Meredith. She raised her head and
said hello to Old Madam Shelby, “Great Grandma, I came with Papa Charlie!”
“Oh, Nia has always been a good kid.” Old Madam Shelby caressed Nia’s hair, then took Charlie’s hands, and said,
“Charlie, how have you been doing recently? You haven’t come to have dinner with me for so long. I think I’ll not be
used to seeing you if you don’t come today.”

“Really? That’s good.” Old Madam Shelby went to shake Meredith’s hand again. “Edith, thank you for your hard
work.”
“Grandma, this is what I should do.” Meredith looked at Charlie and said, “And that’s mainly because Charlie’s
mentality is slowly getting better too.”
“Lovely, lovely. Everything will be fine.” Old Madam Shelby then urged, “It’s cold outside. Let’s get inside quickly.”
“Grandma, you know it’s cold outside, so please don’t come out to greet us next time. I’m worried about you.”
Meredith smiled and said, “If grandma catches a cold, we will all feel bad.”
“Okay, I’ll go in now.” Old Madam Shelby then held Nia’s hand and said, “Little Nia, let’s enter the house.”
While Nia was walking into the house with Old Madam Shelby, she raised her head and asked, “Great Grandma, is
my Daddy here already?”
“Your Daddy hasn’t arrived yet. Maybe something has been delayed.”
“Oh, okay.”
When everyone entered the drawing room, Mrs. Larson came out of the bedroom in a good mood.
Charlie’s current appearance was terrifying in people’s eyes, even Mrs. Larson had to be careful with him.
Therefore, Mrs. Larson did not dare to treat Meredith as how she used to. She greeted her gently and said, “Charlie,
Meredith, you are back.”
Mrs. Larson had warned Meredith not to call her ‘mom’ before, but as Charlie was in front of them, Meredith had no
choice but obediently called out, ‘mom’.
Mrs. Larson only dared to glare at Meredith. Contrastingly, she replied gently, “Well, sit down and have a drink.”
She then pushed Charlie to the sofa, sat down, and looked at him. “Charlie, why have you lost so much weight? Did
you not eat well?”
Charlie did not answer her question. He had been quieter by each day since the accident.
Meredith answered on his behalf, “Mom, don’t worry. Charlie has been eating and sleeping quite normally recently.”

And then Old Madam Shelby replied for Charlie, “People become thin when they are sick, and they will naturally
gain weight when they recover.”
Mrs. Larson nodded. “You’re right, mother.”
“Come on, Charlie. Have some snacks first.” Old Madam Shelby handed him a cookie. “Penny has just made these,
and it’s delicious.”
“Thank you, Grandma.” Charlie took it but handed it to Meredith. “Edith, you can have it.”
That cookie was given to Charlie by Old Madam Shelby, so Meredith did not dare to accept it. She hurriedly took a
piece from the plate and said, “I have one here. Let’s eat it together.”
“Yes, there is a lot in the kitchen. Let’s eat together.” Old Madam Shelby also took a piece for Nia.
She also gave a glass of juice to Nia too. “Nia, come and drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice.”
“Thank you, Great Grandma.” Nia took the juice but accidentally spilled the juice on her clothes because her hand
slipped.
“Oopsie!” Nia let out a low voice. She then took some tissue papers and bent over to wipe the floor while blaming
herself. “I’m so clumsy. I did not hold the juice firmly.”
