Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1019: you are not a burden, Grandma.

[SKYLINE PLAZA: OLD PIERSON RESIDENCE]

"Grandma." Penny cradled Old Mrs. Pierson's hand, smiling at her as her eyes swirled with affection. "It's going to be alright, Grandma."

Old Mrs. Pierson smiled back, nodding. "I know, my child," she said, then patted Penny's hand. "I'm just... worried. But knowing that you and your family are here to support my grandson puts my heart at ease."

The two of them kept their smiles and eyes on each other. Penny had come over to check on Old Mrs. Pierson's health and make sure that she was taking her medications.

"Penelope, you said that you were a doctor," said Old Mrs. Pierson. "Tell me the truth, my child. Am I going to die?"

"Grandma, please don't say that," Penny sighed heavily. "I do have my degree, but I focused on research for a certain drug. Even though I chose a completely different path and run a business that has nothing to do with my degree, I am still part of it. So, with all the knowledge I have and advise from my colleagues, you're going to be fine."

"Aren't you working so hard, my child?" Old Mrs. Pierson sighed. "You're already taking care of Renren, and now I am your burden."

"You're not a burden, Grandma." Penny shook her head gently. "If anything, I'm glad I chose to study medicine because I could use the knowledge to help the people I love."

Old Mrs. Pierson was moved, tearing up a little. "My dearest Penelope. You are such a blessing to me."

Penny pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. Old Mrs. Pierson always showered her with compliments and filled her with words of gratitude. At some point, it made Penny feel a little uncomfortable and awkward because too much gratitude was something she could never get used to. Even so, she never said a word about it.

"Grandma, I'll be doing your blood work today, okay?" she brought up, changing the topic before Old Mrs. Pierson could start praising her to the high heavens. "We need a new one before the shareholders' meeting."
