Jared answered. “It’s okay. I didn’t ask Mrs. Murphy to wake you up because I think the most important thing for you is to have a rest.”
Only when his grandma had a good rest could she be in good health.
But his grandma did have a long rest!
He always knew that his grandma had the habit of taking a nap. It had been a habit when she was young, and it had never stopped for decades.
Besides, his grandma always had a noon break for only two hours from one o’clock to three o’clock, and she always got up on time.
But now, she had rested for four hours from one o’clock.
Although it was good for her to have a good sleep, sometimes it was bad for her to sleep too long.
Especially for an old lady.
If she had slept for too long, it could only prove that her physical function was getting worse and worse, and she had less and less time to be conscious.
Thinking of this, Jared looked at the old Mrs. Farrell’s head.
Looking at her snow-white hair, Jared felt a little upset.
At this moment, he really realized that his grandma was getting old.
“Mrs. Murphy.” Jared withdrew his gaze and looked at Mrs. Murphy who was also helping the old Mrs. Farrell on the other side.
Mrs. Murphy heard him calling her name and immediately looked at him to respond, “Mr. Farrell, what do you need?”
“My grandma slept for so long just today? Or she has been sleeping for so long every day recently?” Jared held the old Mrs. Farrell’s hand and asked nervously.
Mrs. Murphy seemed to know the meaning of his question. She looked at the old Mrs. Farrell, and a flash of sadness flashed across her eyes.
The old Mrs. Farrell certainly understood, but she didn’t care about it. She still smiled and said, “it doesn’t matter, Murphy. You should tell Jared.”
“My lady…”
“Anyway, Jared will know it sooner or later. It’s okay. Just say it.” The old Mrs. Farrell patted the back of Mrs. Murphy’s hand to comfort her.
Mrs. Murphy opened her mouth, and after a while, she nodded with a whimper, “Okay, I’ll tell you, Mr. Farrell. Recently, lady Georgia has taken a longer and longer break, but not every day. She takes such a long rest every two or three days. Basically, she just takes a nap for two hours every day, just as before.”
Hearing this, Jared’s tense face softened a little.
Although his grandma did have a longer and longer break, it was not every day.
This meant that his grandma’s health was not as worse as he thought.
It would be really troublesome if she rested for so long every day.
“Grandma.” Jared helped the old Mrs. Farrell sit down on the armchair and looked at her seriously. “I told you last time that you should go to the sanatorium. I think you have to go there as soon as possible.”
After the old Mrs. Farrell was hospitalized, Elias told him that his grandma would pass away in two years.
So he wanted to send his grandma to a sanatorium, hoping that she could live one or two more years.
Later, he told his grandma about it, as well as her physical condition. He hoped that his grandma would listen to him and go to a sanatorium.
But his grandma refused. She said that staying in the sanatorium was not as comfortable as staying at home and that she wouldn’t go there.
He couldn’t change her mind. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he thought that she could go there later.
But now, she became unhealthy in such a short time. The sleeping time showed that her body function was getting worse and worse.
If it went on like this, my grandma might not be able to hold on for two years.
So this time, she must go there no matter what she said. He couldn’t let her be stubborn.
Hearing Jared’s words, Mrs. Murphy, who was standing beside him, nodded immediately. “Yes, lady Georgia. Mr. Farrell is right. You have to go to the sanatorium. Look at you now…”
Mrs. Murphy choked with sobs.
The old Mrs. Farrell looked at her grandson, who looked serious, and then looked at Mrs. Murphy, who was crying silently. She sighed, “Well, it’s not a big deal. Normally, someone lives or dies. I can accept it calmly. Besides, I’m old enough, isn’t it? If I stay in this world for too long, I may become a monster. Jared, I’ve told you before that I miss your grandfather. He has been waiting for me in heaven for so long. I don’t want him to wait for me for too long. I’m afraid that he will be impatient and leave. What if I can’t find him when I go there?”
Hearing his grandma’s words, Jared didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t even know what to do!
His grandma was unwilling to go to the sanatorium. Even if he forced her and sent her there, she would be depressed, and the treatment in the sanatorium would not be effective.
But if he listened to her and won’t let her go there. She would be more and more unhealthy, which also made him worried.
So he really didn’t know what to do.
Mrs. Murphy was also worried. She cried silently.
The old Mrs. Farrell looked at Jared who was frowning and silent and then looked at Mrs. Murphy who was sobbing. She knew what she said made them feel bad.
She clapped her hands with a smile and said, “well, let’s stop talking about it. Jared, what brings you here?”
Jared knew that the old Mrs. Farrell was trying to change the topic, so he didn’t talk about it anymore. He answered, “I’m here to confirm something.”
“What’s that?” The old Mrs. Farrell picked up the cup, blew the hot water elegantly, and nodded slightly.
Jared looked at her and said, “grandma, do you know that my mother deliberately trained me to be Connor’s substitute?”
Upon hearing this, the old Mrs. Farrell stopped blowing the water.
Even Mrs. Murphy, who was massaging the old Mrs. Farrell’s shoulders, widened her eyes in shock.
Looking at the two old ladies’ shocked faces, Jared kept silent and didn’t say anything, waiting for the two to speak.
About two or three minutes later, the old Mrs. Farrell closed the cup and put it on the table beside. Then she looked at him seriously and asked, “how did you know about it?”
“It seems that what I said is true?” Jared asked.
The old Mrs. Farrell nodded and sighed, “It’s true. Your mother did it. I couldn’t believe it when I knew it. As a mother, how could she do such an unreasonable thing? But at that time, your mother had passed away, so I couldn’t say anything to her even if I was angry. I could only keep it a secret angrily and hide it from you. I know very well that although you have been deliberately trained by your mother to be a very gentle child, you have a proud nature. You can’t accept the truth. When you know it, you will hate your mother, and be depressed.”
The old Mrs. Farrell’s said with complicated feelings, “Although I’m angry with your mother for doing such a stupid thing, I don’t want you to really hate her. No matter what, she gave birth to you and gave you a mother’s love. Even if there is something else with her love, it was still love. So I’d rather you know nothing. I want your mother to always keep the best image in your memory.”
She looked at him and said, “I thought I could keep it a secret after your mother died, and I deliberately hid it from you. But I didn’t expect that you knew it after so many years.”
Clenching his fists, Jared replied in a deep voice, “As long as Connor is alive, no one can hide it forever.”
