Chapter 240 Bringing Veronica and Conrad Together

Holding a basket of fruits, Veronica ambled toward Elizabeth. “Grandma.”

Elizabeth handed over the grain that she fed the poultry to the maid. “Roni, you’re here.”

“Yeah, I miss you, Grandma.” Veronica smiled and clung onto the old lady’s arm before looking at the poultry. “It’s nice to rear some chickens and ducks as a pastime.”

Elizabeth couldn’t work because of her old age, so it was best for her to indulge in something to lift her mood.
