Mrs. Clements's face was pale. Closing her wrinkled eyes, she did not speak but she looked very sickly.

Penny Carter turned around while wiping her tears with the back of her hand. Then, she went to inquire about the situation. When she knew that it was Alicia who signed the operation document, she looked enraged and started scolding her.

"How can you make such an important decision on your own? If something bad happens to Grandma, could you bear the responsibility?"

"Why didn't you call us?"

"If you couldn't get through to us, don't you know how to get someone to find us? Are you a dumb*ss?"

As soon as Carson walked in, he saw Penny forcing Alicia to a corner. Unexpectedly, Alicia lowered her head and did not say a word. He softly coughed twice in purpose.

"Ahem, please don't make noise in the hospital! The patient needs to rest!"

At this time, Mr. Clements had arrived with sweat falling from his forehead. He heard Penny's accusation but he disregarded it. Instead, he rushed to the bed and held his mother's hand straight away. "Mom, are you feeling better now? I am such an unfilial son!"

Shaking her head slowly, Mrs. Clements muttered softly, "It's all right. It's so noisy. Can all of you leave? I just need Alicia and Miranda to accompany me..."

With that, all of them headed out as told. Alicia tucked in the fluffy quilt for Mrs. Clements and carefully adjusted the position of the infusion bottle before sitting beside the bed quietly.

At this time, Miranda nodded at Mrs. Clements with a satisfied smile.

"Ally, I'm so sorry that they have wronged you. Don't take it to heart. I know what you have done!" Mrs. Clements comforted Alicia.

"Grandma, I don't feel wronged. In fact, I'm fine! I know, Aunt is just worried about you. It's important for you to rest well and recover as soon as possible!"1

There was not a trace of displeasure on Alicia's face. She even put on a smile.
