S31 54. The Old House

Frank frowned. His eyes flickered to his wife, looking for inspiration.” Can we move her mother to Jeremy’s house?”

“I think it’s a good idea. If Jeremy is willing, I can contact Wela directly.” Kara turned to her brother-in-law. 1

Jeremy raised his eyebrows along with his shoulders. “Even if you want to change the house into a hospital, that’s fine. Grandpa Rowan will definitely be happy if his old residence becomes more useful.”

Frank nodded. “That’s right. We have to minimize the risk. Besides, she has a lot of bad memories in this house. I’m afraid it will affect her recovery.”
