Facade of Love

Chapter 157 Come and Visit Me More Often

Inside the hospital room, Emily was spoon–feeding Madam Young when we walked in. She paused to clean Madam Young’s mouth and set aside the lunchbox, giving us a nod. “Back already?” she said.

Idris and I both nodded in response.

Madam Young looked us over and then instructed Emily, “Alex should be here soon. Go on down and meet him, will you?”

With a nod and a quick wave to us, Emily headed out.

Madam Young turned her attention to me, her eyes soft but her voice weak. “Yvette, come over here. I want to talk to you.”

I moved closer to her bedside, noticing the hardly touched food in the box. “Grandma, aren’t you hungry? I can help you,” I offered.

She shook her head, her eyes filled with warmth. “Yvette, I’m so glad you’re here. But I’m afraid… my time is coming.”

Her words hit me like a wave of sadness. “Grandma, don’t say that. It was just a fall. You’ll get better, and you’ll have many years ahead with us,” I said, trying to sound convincing.

She gave a gentle smile. “Dear child, we all have our time, and I’ve had plenty. I just regret being so hard on you. Do you forgive me?”

I could not help but smile back, shaking my head. “You always wanted what’s best for us. That’s what matters.”

She let out a sigh, patting my hand with the one that had the IV needle. “You’re such a good kid,” she said, her voice filled with pride.
