StarNovelLucas kept quiet and frowned.
Realizing that Barbara couldn't see the photo on the phone clearly, he decided to call Aveline directly.
"Hello?" The call was quickly answered, and a soft, gentle voice cthrough.
"I'm sending someone to bring you to the nursing home," Lucas said. "Grandma isn't in a good state." Aveline was taken aback and asked, "What happened?" "You'll know when you get here," Lucas replied curtly before hanging up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBarbara was still anxiously asking for her granddaughter-in-law. Lucas reassured her, "I've sent someone to bring her over. She'll be here soon. Why don't you rest for a bit?" But Barbara looked like she was about to cry, seemingly blaming Lucas for losing such a big granddaughter-in- law.
Lucas was speechless.
Forty minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
"Cin," Lucas called out, and Aveline pushed the door open, her expression filled with worry. Her hair was slightly disheveled, showing her concern.
"What's wrong with Grandma?" she asked urgently as soon as she entered.
Lucas reached out and patted Barbara gently, then pointed towards the door. "Grandma, look, your granddaughter-in-law is here." "Granddaughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law..." Barbara muttered as she turned her head to look towards the door.
When she saw Aveline, she paused for a moment, then turned back and slapped Lucas on the shoulder. "You're lying to me! You're lying again! This is not my granddaughter-in-law. Where did you take her? Bring my granddaughter-in-law back! Bring her back to me!" Barbara began to throw a tantrum, crying like a child.
Lucas' brows knitted tightly. He had not expected this outcat all.
Aveline watched for a moment before frowning and asking, "What's wrong with Grandma...?" "She doesn't recognize anyone anymore, Lucas replied. "She ran outside. She out today and met a girl was grabbed her and insisted she was her granddaughter-in-law." Hearing this, Aveline pressed her lips together.
So, when Barbara had stubbornly insisted that she was her granddaughter-in-law before, itlwasn't because of affection or liking her-it was just confusion? Realizing this, a faint sadness and disappointment flickered across her heart.

Lucas' face darkened immediately. He glanced at the doctor nearby. "Sedative!"
The doctor nodded and quickly administered the sedatiye. Gradually, Barbara's condition stabilized, and she fell asleep. Lucas stood up and walked directly to Aveline, looking at the red mark on her cheek.
Barbara's outburst had been uncontrolled, and the slap had landed hard.
On Aveline's fair cheek, a handprint had already appeared.
Lucas reached out, intending to touch her face, but as his fingers were about to make contact, hem hesitated, afraid of hurting her. His fingers curled slightly, and he said, "She's getting more confused by the day."
His gaze was intense and heated, and Aveline instinctively looked away, saying, Grandma's health isn't good. It's understandable." Lucas turned to the nurse and instructed, "Get an ice pack." "There's no need," Aveline shook her head. "Grandma didn't use much strength. It doesn't hurt." Lucas frowned. "I know her strength. I've been hit by her too. It definitely hurts." Like RICH WOMEN?
