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.”

Hearing Jeremy’s chatter, the curve of Diana’s lips faded. It had been a long time since she remembered that house. She thought she had totally forgotten, but now, every corner was clearly depicted in her

Kara held out her hand. The servant who was on standby quickly brought her phone. Diana remained silent waiting for the results.

“Wela said yes.”

Diana’s heartbeat became increasingly erratic. “W-why didn’t the nurse just move here? Is it because there is no more room available?”

“Then just move Melanie here.” Diana raised an eyebrow, trying to cover her tension with a smile.

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.”
