Chapter 297

Cordelia glanced over, ready to see the content on Everard's phone when suddenly, a scream echoed from the bedroom: "Ah!"

Her eyes narrowed, and without another look at Everard's phone, Cordelia dashed into Mathilda's bedroom. There, she found Lacy seemingly in the throes of a fit, screaming on the bed and waving her hands, "Get out, get out!"

Mathilda was stunned, and so was Cordelia.

Everard stood there, his eyes squinting slightly, before he took a couple of steps back and left the bedroom.

It wasn't until he had left that Mathilda rushed to Lacy's side, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Though Cordelia didn't speak, as she approached, Lacy grabbed her hand, "Lorna, don't let him in. Dad has a secret; he can't know about it. It's all for you, left all for you..."

After saying this, she calmed down.

Mathilda couldn't help but curse, "What secret do you have? Really... you're a lunatic. What valuable thing do you have that you won't even show your son-in-law? It's just unreasonable!"

Cordelia found it amusing, but Louie had once said that Grandpa's condition required rest, and they should follow his wishes without contradiction. So, Cordelia nodded, playing along, "Okay, we won't let him touch our stuff."

Only then did Lacy nod vehemently, "Right, he bullies you, he's not a good person, a bad egg!"

Cordelia: ".

For some reason, she felt unexpectedly moved.

Even in his delirium, Grandpa was still constantly looking out for her.

Mathilda also sighed, her eyes red, "This stubborn old man, ever since I mentioned you found a boyfriend from the Fortuna Group and worried he might bully you, he's been so concerned about you."

She laughed, "But since his illness, he doesn't recognize people anymore, yet he always cares about you. You might be the only person he hasn't forgotten."

Mathilda was both laughing and crying, making Lacy stare at her for a long time. Lacy's gaze was confused, as if she couldn't recognize her, then looked at Cordelia, grasping her hand like a child, "Lorna, did I do good?"

Cordelia paused before responding, "Very good."

Lacy then smiled satisfactorily, letting go of her hand, "The money Dad left you, keep it safe, don't show it to anyone."

Cordelia nodded seriously, "Okay, I won't show anyone."
