"Grandma came out with you, and she almost got scalded. Don't you have anything to say about that?"

Jerome furrowed his brows slightly, his mind drifting back to that incident at the airport.

In places like airports, where getting lost could lead to unimaginable consequences, Jerome's gaze grew sharper with each passing moment.

Hospitals are full of germs and all sorts of people; frankly, it might be best if Grandma visits less. Ms. Gardenia needs to rest, and I don't think she was all that welcoming of our visit anyway."
