After the cake was cut, everyone sat down to eat, but Grandma excused herself, saying she wasn't feeling well, and returned to her room.

I returned to the Bible scripture, waiting quietly.

From the doorway, I could hear Grandma's voice. "Mrs. Lambert, get someone to check out what's going on in Cloudville. Something doesn't feel right."

"Old Madam, are you that sure the person in that video isn't Ms. Chloe?"

Grandma shot Mrs. Lambert a look. "I watched Chloe grow up. Don't you think I know her character? Even if she'd fallen for someone else, she'd have divorced Luke first. She wouldn't do something like this while still married."

"You're right. Ms. Chloe has turned down countless suitors over the years. She's always been sensible, so it's unlikely she'd lose her mind and use her body to get back at Mr. Bolton out of spite."

Grandma gritted her teeth. "If I can figure this out, how is it that Luke, who grew up with her, believes other people's lies? When Chloe comes back, I'll make sure she divorces him. Marriage is built on trust, and if even her husband can't believe in her, what's the point of staying together?"

I couldn't help but feel a sting in my eyes after listening to her words. Grandma saw things clearly, yet the person who grew up by my side just couldn't understand.

"Anyway, quietly have someone look into what's going on in Cloudville. Find out what Chloe is doing over there."

"All right, Old Madam, you should wash up and get some rest. Maybe Ms. Chloe will be back tomorrow."

"Fine."

Grandma let out a long sigh and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

At ten o'clock, after taking her medicine, Grandma sat staring at the slice of cake on the table. She had glanced at it several times that night.

"Old Madam, you should sleep."

"It's not midnight yet. I'm waiting for Chloe."

When she mentioned me, a gentle light appeared in her eyes. "She's always loved sweets since she was little, and I've always spoiled her. I even found a chef to teach me how to make her favorite treats. She's such a sweet child. Even when I got older and couldn't get around easily, she would often come over to cook for me." "She'd say, since I watched her grow up, she'd take care of me as I grew old."

As she spoke, tears streamed down Grandma's face. "Mrs. Lambert, Chloe has always been so devoted. She'd never just disappear. I'm just afraid something's happened to her."
