Chapter 64:

As Sadie gripped Laura’s delicate hand, her tears began to flow.

“Grandma, it’s such a relief to see your eyes open! I was terrified when you collapsed. What caused your heart attack?” Sadie’s voice trembled with emotion.

Laura had always been healthy, with no history of heart issues, making the attack even more baffling to Sadie.

Confusion clouded Sadie’s expression, and her anxiety mounted. “Grandma, why would you think that? Who has been filling your head with such lies?” Sadie’s voice rose in frustration.
