225 Speak Up

Had she remembered everything?

Keira was a bit surprised.

She hadn’t expected the Alzheimer’s medication to work this fast!

It had only been two days!

However, she also understood that the medication was designed to stimulate nerve regeneration and regulate bodily functions.

Old Mrs. Horton would gradually regain her memory. The reason she remembered why she got married so quickly was simply because she had just managed to recall that period of time.

She asked, “How did we get our marriage certificate?”

Old Mrs. Horton was about to speak when Selena’s excited voice came in from outside. “Great-grandma is

Old Mrs. Horton paused mid-sentence, looked outside, and asked, “Who’s out there?”

Keira explained, “It seems that relatives from the second branch of the family have come to see you.”

Old Mrs. Horton immediately said, “Oh, it’s my second brother and his family!”

She patted Keira’s hand. “The matter of your marriage is a long story; let’s talk about it after they leave.”

“Okay.”

No sooner had they spoken than the patriarch of the second branch and Nathan walked in.

“Sister-in-law!”

The patriarch of the second branch called out.

Old Mrs. Horton responded with a smile. “Why have you put yourself through the trouble of coming here? I’m perfectly fine now!”

The patriarch of the second branch also looked at her.

Old Mrs. Horton was a sister-in-law whom even Mr. Horton respected, and he had deep feelings for her.

When his elder brother passed away unexpectedly, he was only fifteen.

Their parents had died young, and he thought his

sister-in-law would take her young children and

remarry, leaving him to drop out of school and work to support himself.

Instead, without a word of complaint, she took on the entire household and told him, “You focus on your studies; I’ll figure out a way to cover your tuition fees.”

Afterward, she carried Nathan on her back and opened

a roadside stall.

They faced many hardships.

At that time, the world was very tumultuous. Once, he saw some little punks come to collect protection money, and without hesitation, she grabbed a kitchen knife and brandished it at them, yelling, “No money, but if you want a life, I’ve got one to spare!”

Those little punks left a message that they would come
