Chapter 279Chapter 279
Holding her hand in his, Josiah smiled and called out to her softly, “Grandma, you’re finally awake. I
thought you didn’t want to see me anymore.”
Josiah’s grandmother moved her lips softly. She wanted to say something but no sound came out of
her mouth
Josiah comforted her, “Grandma, it’s okay, take it slow. We can talk some other day.”
Josiah could see that his grandmother looked worried and desperate. But no one knew what she was
worried about and thought that she was worried because she was not able to speak.
After spending an hour at the hospital with his grandmother, Josiah had the doctors keep an eye on her
and left the hospital. In the lobby, he noticed Ysabelle walking toward him. “Josiah, I heard that your
grandmother is awake. Is it true?” She asked.
She might look relieved on the surface, but deep down, she was panicking.
She was worried that her plan would go to waste once Josiah’s grandmother regained her
consciousness and that Meredith would turn the tables around with the help of his grandmother.
Josiah looked at her and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Ysabelle sulked, “You don’t allow me to visit your grandma, so I can only wait for her here in the lobby
every day.” “You’re that worried if my grandmother would regain her consciousness?”
“Of course, I treat your grandma like my own, and she’d always been someone that I respected,
“Ysabelle tugged at his shirt and pleaded, “Josiah, can you please not trust what Meredith has told you
about me harming your grandmother? I am just as worried about her as you.”“It’s not because I trust her. It was just a precaution,” Josiah responded. Ysabelle thought to herself,
‘Aren’t they the same?’ She then asked Josiah, “Oh right, how is your grandmother doing? Can she eat
now? If yes, I can cook something for her.”
“It’s fine. She can’t eat anything yet.”
“Ahh, I see. So she can’t move and can’t speak yet?”
“Mm.”
‘This is perfect.’ Ysabelle thought to herself as she sighed in relief.
She thought that Josiah’s grandmother was already at an old age and there might be a chance that she
would not recover and might not be able to speak again.
Ysabelle comforted herself.
“‘What are you smiling about?” Josiah noticed the flash of a smile across her face.
Ysabelle froze and quickly explained, “Oh no. I’m just really glad that your grandma is awake.” She
grinned and then put her arms around his. “Because I know that you care a lot about your grandma.
And you’d only smile knowing that your grandma is getting better.”
She reached out her hand to touch his face but was stopped by him.
novelbinYsabelle moved her hand away and apologized, “I’m sorry. I was just too happy for you.” Josiah simply
nodded and said, “I have other things to attend to. See you later.” “Josiah,” Ysabelle stopped him from
leaving and asked, “Can I go visit grandma?” “It’s fine, you don’t have to. Grandma can’t speak nor can
she move. There’s no use if you go visit her now.” Josiah then left.
Ysabelle gnawed on her lips. She did not think that Josiah would be so defensive against her.Josiah’s grandmother recovered slowly. She had been awake for half a month, but she still could not
speak. Josiah felt bad for his grandmother and asked the doctor, “How long more do we have to wait
before she could start moving around?” His grandmother had always been a person who enjoyed
moving around. It must be torture for his grandmother, having to be bound to bed.
