“Miss Xia, you don’t have to be so courteous. Boss’ matters are my matters. And your matters are his matters. And in simpler terms, your matters are my matters!” Jack said.
Jack was a cheerful man and he always gives off a comfortable vibe.
Annabelle nodded smilingly, “Alright, I shall go now!”
Jack nodded and Annabelle entered the lift. When she got to the car park and saw Alistair’s car, she unlocked the car and sat inside.
Fortunately, there weren’t many people around and she needn’t worry. She drove the car and left the office.
About half an hour later, Annabelle reached the hospital.
It was peak hour in the evening and the traffic was bad. Not only that, Annabelle made a quick stop to buy the grandmother’s favorite dessert. Therefore, when she reached the hospital, it was more than half an hour later.
In the hospital ward, the nurses were coaxing the old woman to take her medicine. However, the stubborn woman was just refusing it.
The moment Annabelle entered the door, she heard their conversation.
“I don’t want it! I don’t want to eat that! It tastes so horrible, how can you torture this old lady like this?!”
“It might taste bad but it is good for your health. Please just take it so you can recover faster!” The nurse was gentle and patient. However, the old woman was just stubborn to refuse it.
When Annabelle was at the doorstep and overheard their conversation, she said, “Grandma, why are you not taking your medicine again!?”
When the old woman heard Annabelle’s voice, she hurriedly turned her head towards the door. The moment she saw Annabelle, a smile blossomed on her face, “Annabelle, you are finally here! It is so late already and I thought you aren’t coming for today!”
Annabelle walked closer and took over the medicine from the nurse’s hand. And then she gave the nurse a reassuring smile.
The nurse hurriedly passed the medicine to her. But she didn’t leave as she must make sure the old woman takes her medicine!
At that time, Annabelle brought the capsules over and poured a glass of water. After that, she passed it to the old woman.
As the grandmother said that and saw Annabelle’s gesture, she was upset but she obediently accepted her fate…
“This medicine is really bitter!” The old woman continued to complain as she took the glass of water from Annabelle’s hand. She looked very upset and repelled by the medicine.
“This is all for your own good, you must take it!” Annabelle said.
The grandmother knew that she couldn’t reject anymore and she took it obediently.
The nurse that watched from aside was just elated. She had spent a long while to coax her. But the old woman was too stubborn. Now that this young lady came, she gave in so easily.
“Grandma, you are truly blessed to have such a good granddaughter!” The nest chuckled.
When the old woman heard that, she corrected the nurse immediately, “This is my granddaughter in law!”
The nurse was shocked but she smiled, “How nice to have such a close relationship with your family!”
“You really have a sweet mouth!” Grandma Mu cheered.
The nurse smiled and said, “If there’s nothing else, I will get out first. You can call me if you need anything!”
“Okay, go on!” Grandma Mu replied.
And so, the nurse went out.
At that time, Annabelle took out the dessert she bought for the grandmother, “Grandma, can you please don’t tell everyone that I am your granddaughter in law?”
When the old woman heard that, she took a mouthful of her favorite sweet course and answered, “Why can’t I say it? It is the truth!”
“It is not!”
“Weren’t you together with Alistair yesterday? How was it? When do you guys plan to get married?!” When the old woman said that, she got closer and giggled happily.
