The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 178 Encounter with the Anti-Vice Squad

Mia's smile froze on her face.

Ellie, standing nearby, chuckled.

Sebastian put down the gift, and Zoey embraced him. "Sebastian, you're back, and you look even more handsome!"

Sebastian sighed helplessly.

Ellie urged them to start eating.

Sebastian sat in the yard, chatting with Ellie, "Dad is at the hospital with Grandpa?"

"Yes, you all came back late today. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital to see your grandpa."

"Mom, how is Grandpa?"

Ellie replied, "Not very good. If things can be stabilized here, we won't transfer him. But the medical technology here is limited. If it doesn't work out, we plan to take him back to Zandonick for treatment." Mia overheard and, holding her mother's arm, tilted her head and asked, "Mom, why didn't we take Grandpa to Zandonick in the first place? The medical standards there are obviously higher!" Sebastian knocked on Mia's head. "If he wanted to go, do you think they wouldn't have moved to Zandonick already?"

Mia understood; it was because Max and Zoey didn't want to leave.

As night fell, the neighbor's dog wandered over.

Mia was terrified of dogs. She picked up a nearby stick, ready to confront the dog.

"Sebastian, there's a dog. Get rid of it."

Sebastian quickly stood up, shielding Mia behind him. He grabbed a broom from the yard and chased the dog away, then locked the gate.

Zoey glanced over and said, "Mia, why are you afraid of dogs? When you were little, you loved playing with puppies whenever you came back." Mia was at a loss for words. "Grandma, I'm allergic to dog fur."

"Impossible, you used to sleep hugging a dog. You..."

"Mom, do we have any thick blankets? I'll go make the bed so they can sleep comfortably tonight," Ellie interrupted.

Zoey, dressed flamboyantly, nodded and led her daughter-in-law to the west room.

She asked Ellie, "How did Mia become allergic to dog fur?"
