Mrs. Anderson took a deep breath. With a blank and empty look in her eyes, she looked in the direction where Sheena was and said, “I’m telling you to get out instead!”

 

Sheena was stunned. A moment later, her eyes widened and she turned to Mrs. Anderson and exclaimed, “What did you just say? Mom!”

 

The old lady clutched her chest and said, “You have no respect for your sister, nor are you kind or loving to the children. You’re not welcome here!”

 

“Sis again! It’s always about her!” A furious Sheena said, “Ever since we were children, you’ve always been partial to her! But Sis is already gone! All these years, I’m the one providing for you instead!”

 

Mrs. Anderson clutched the white cane tightly. Her lips trembled as she said, “No matter what, Nora was just trying to help!”

 

Sheena sneered, “Mom, do you really believe a stray child like her can cure your eyes? We’ve approached so many doctors over the years, but none of them could do anything. Why would she be able to? Do you really trust her that much?”

 

Mrs. Anderson was lost for words.

 

To be honest, she didn’t really believe it, either. However, Nora meant well, so she didn’t have the heart to refuse her.

 

Seeing that she didn’t reply, Sheena continued and said, “You can’t see, so you have no idea how red and swollen your eyes are! How is that supposed to be a medical treatment? She’s obviously torturing you instead!”

 

 

Mrs. Anderson’s eyes were completely red and the area around her eyes was swollen as though she was having an allergic reaction.

 

However, this was actually a sign that the ointment was working.

 

She hadn’t been using her eyes for too long, so all the muscles there had already loosened and sagged. Without a more potent ointment, how would she be able to recover quickly?

 

Nora was about to explain when Mrs. Anderson said, “You don’t have to say any more. I’m willing to let Nora give it a go. She said that my eyes will recover and I’ll be able to see again in seven days. If I don’t try it out, how would I know whether she can really do it or not?”

 

“You—” Sheena was so angry that her eyes were all red. “That’s how much trust you had in Sis back then, too. She said she would be gone for a week, but in the end, she never came back! And now, you’re also putting your trust in her daughter? You’re so stubborn!”

 

She picked up her bag and walked straight to the door. When she passed by Nora, she looked at her repugnantly and said, “So, seven days, right? Okay, I’ll come back in seven days, then. If your grandma’s condition doesn’t improve even after so much torture from you, I’m throwing you out of the house even if she kills me!”

 

“Aunt Sheena.”

 

When Sheena was about to step out, she suddenly heard a woman’s cool voice calling out to her and she stopped and looked back. The look in Nora’s eyes was a little cold. The expressionless woman said in a low voice, “If I successfully cure Grandma’s eyes, I hope you will apologize to my mother.”
