GoodReadAfter a while, Olivia started to frown.
"How is she?" Sean cforward and asked.
Olivia withdrew her hand and said softly, "Madam Fordham is a little frail. It's probably because she sustained sinjuries during childbirth in the past. Her condition can be improved over time." "I know my condition won't get any better. I'll be content with however many days | have left." "Mom, please don't say that!" Sean didn't want his mother to be so pessimistic.

"Madam Fordham, this is such a beautiful place, but isn't it a little lonely if you're here by yourself all year long?" "I've always preferred peace and quiet. I've never been fond of hustle and bustle. Our family is very united. The younger ones visitfrequently, so I'm never lonely." Oliva nodded. "That's true. Sean has already recovered from his depression. He'll be able to stay by your side from now on." Sean looked at Olivia in surprise. They had only planned to cover for a meal. They didn't plan to stay.
After spending twith Olivia, he felt she was very reliable. She had to have a reason for making such a suggestion. So, he didn't say anything.
Shana smiled. "That's wonderful. Sean was unwell for so many years. I'm still worried about him. I'll be very content if | can see him every day. I'll even be able to see you and your child." She ordered Nina to prepare the guest room.
"Don't worry, Madam Fordham. Sean's legs can still be hEged one day. Look at how successful your children are.
You have to get well soon so that they don't have to worry about you." "Yeah, | know | should try my best to stay alive." "Watch out, Madam Fordham. There are sstairs here," Olivia reminded.
Before they approached the steps, Olivia noticed a rope by the stairs with sbells attached.
"How thoughtful. Ms. Jacqueline probably prepared it, right?" "This was made by Garrett. He knows my eyesight is bad, and he doesn't wantto fall when I'm walking, so he put the bells by the stairs to remind me." Garrett Fordham was Sean's cousin. Avery had also mentioned him before. Sof the leads they uncovered were linked to him.
Sean felt even more guilty. "I'm a failure of a son. My cousin takes better care of my mother than me." "Silly boy, you know our family's situation. Avery is haunted by his kidney illness, Troy is focused on his designs, Vox is never home, and you have been fighting your own demons.

"Besides, | have so many people tending to my needs. My life is already better than most people." It was clear that Shana was a very gentle and elegant person. She didn't have the snobbishness of srich people. That was why her children were all very outstanding.
"Garrett comes over very frequently, too?" Sean changed the subject.
"That's right. He's a very mild-mannered person. | took care of him for stwhen he was young, so he's very close to me. Your father has been very busy this year. Garrett knows I'm alone, so he visitsvery often." Olivia and Sean looked at each other. It was clear they were more suspicious of Garrett.
"Mom, why don't you invite Garrett over for dinner? | want to thank him in person." "I've already contacted him. He'll cover after work. Jacqueline will be coming over too. It's a pity that | can't get in contact with Vox, and Avery's not in the country at the moment. It'd be great if we could have a reunion." "Don't worry, Mom. We'll have a reunion sooner or later. Avery will recover. When we get better, we'll be able to lighten Dad's load. Then, he'll be able to chto you when he's no longer so busy." "That would be great."
