Chapter 132

Previously, she could ignore his plight, as she had no idea about their history.

She only found out everything as Glen recounted the entire incident to her. He was reminiscing about the past and did not mean anything else, but she had to do something.

There was no way she could pretend nothing had ever happened and gloss over it.

If Old Mr. Chivers hadn't offered a helping hand, Granny would've frozen to death on the streets, and Mother would've died when she was still a child. He saved their lives. Granny and Mother couldn't repay him, so I can't just forget about it. This is the best opportunity for me to repay his favor. But I can't hold a scalpel!

Sensing her sadness, Glen stroked his beard and chirped, “Bay, don't take it to heart. I was reminded of your granny and got overwhelmed with emotions. At this age, nothing matters to me anymore. The longer I live, the more torturing it is for me. I want nothing more than to be reunited with my partner.”

Bailey's lips curled as she flashed an assuring smile. “You look like you can live till a ripe old age. You should be at ease and stay happy every day. You'll get to recover one day.”

Hearing that, Glen burst out laughing. “Everyone else resorted to different ways to console me, and honestly, I'm bored of it. Your way of comforting me is quite interesting. All right, there's no need to comfort me. I can't even find someone who can operate on my cranium, so there's no way I'll live till a ripe old age.”

Bailey went quiet.

As the mood turned tense, Gwendolyn immediately tried to liven things up. “Looks like the saying 'birds of a feather flock together' is right. Your granny and mother had a history with the Chivers family, so you're meant to marry my son. If you want to repay the favor, then marry into the Chivers family and make your grandpa happy by being a filial granddaughter-in-law.”

Glen slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “That's right. Bay, marry Eddy as soon as possible so I can get a granddaughter-in-law while I'm still alive. That way, I can tell your granny all about it when we reunite one day.”

Tears threatened to spill out of Bailey's eyes when she heard his words.

She trusted Glen, for why would he lie to her? It would only take an investigation to confirm the facts.

Old Mr. Chivers must be friends with Granny. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remembered her for that long. I can't ignore his plight.

Previously, she could ignore his plight, os she hod no ideo obout their history.
