By the time Emily was done with the formalities and returned to the ward, Lucy was already awake.

She was on the bed, her head wrapped in a thick white bandage, and an IV feeding into her arm. She propped herself up to sit up.

Emily quickly ran over and helped her grandmother up. She also placed a pillow behind her.

“Grandma, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” She asked with concern.

Lucy held her forehead and replied, “It’s just that my head still hurts a little. Nothing else. The doctor came to see me and said that it’s fine, just a flesh wound.”

Emily breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the chair next to her. “Emily, when the IV drip is done let’s go home. If I stay in the hospital it’ll be so expensive, there’s no need to stay overnight for such a little scratch.” Lucy calmed down and looked at the IV bottle hanging above her which was almost empty. “Grandma, I have paid for tonight’s stay already. Even if you go home now, they won’t refund me. Your condition is still unstable, it’s better to stay in the hospital overnight for observation. Tomorrow we can go home when we’re sure you’re absolutely fine.” Emily reached out and soothed Lucy. She knew that her grandmother would say this, so she went and paid the bills and arranged for the inpatient stay in advance. The cost wasn’t an issue, her grandmother’s health had to come first. Lucy understood her grandaughter’s intentions and helplessly lay back on the pillow. She let out a long sigh and held her granddaughter’s hand. Her expression was full of self-blame. “Emily, you have been taking care of me all these years. I’m holding you back.”

Emily quickly held her grandmother’s hand tightly. “No, don’t say that, grandmother. How are you a burden? Back then, I was kicked out by the Armstrong family and was homeless. If you hadn’t taken me in, I wouldn’t have anything I have now.” Speaking of the Armstrong family, Lucy remembered Mia’s

words today. She hesitated for a moment and asked. “Emily, are you still going back to the Armstrong family?” Emily’s expression stiffened, and then she smiled lightly, “Why would I do that?” The Armstrong family was naturally not worth mentioning. But Emily and Charles had been a pair of childhood sweethearts, and it was a shame they had ended up this way.

Lucy knew that he was a thorn in Emily’s heart. If the two of them met, perhaps everything could still change for the better. “Charles is going to get married. He must have had some kind of reason for doing what he did in the past. Maybe you two-”

Emily interrupted her, her voice somewhat helpless. “Grandmother, Charles and I did have a relationship, but that was in the past. Moreover, I have thought about his actions. When that happened to me, no matter what circumstances he was under, he should have given me an explanation instead of directly choosing to be with Mia. Since he didn’t come to find me, it means that he voluntarily gave up on me. Now that he is going to get married, if I go and seek him out, wouldn’t that just be asking for humiliation?”

Lucy thought for a moment. “That’s true. Back then, the Armstrong family chased you out. All these years, he didn’t care about you at all. He was so cruel. You shouldn’t go back. Aren’t we living a good life now?”

Emily nodded. She didn’t want to talk about this anymore. Seeing that her grandmother was fine, she stood up.

“Grandma, please rest for a while. I will go out to buy some lunch. Don’t fall asleep. Remember to call the nurse when the IV is finished.”

Lucy nodded and turned to leave.

At this time, Mia had just returned to the Armstrong residence. Her face was full of bitterness. The moment she entered the door, she threw her limited edition handbag on the ground, even though her cell phone was inside. She did not change her shoes and just pouted as she sat on the sofa. “Hmph!” Her mother, Emma, heard the sound and came out of the kitchen to look at her. “Mia, what’s wrong? Who made you so angry?” William, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa, also put down the newspaper. “Yes, what happened? Didn’t you go to deliver the invitation? You were still happy when you left.” “It’s that Emily. After a few years, she has really become a total peasant. She has no class at all! Dad, Mom, you have to help me!” Mia put on a sorry face and began to spin her lies. “Here I was, trying to invite my older sister to my wedding, trying to repair our relationship and extend an olive branch. But when I arrived she and that old hag wouldn’t stop cursing and yelling at me! They said you two are horrible for cutting them off. I was trying to be the bigger person and talk to them kindly but they threw me out, and that b*tch Emily pushed me onto the ground! My leg is bruised and it hurts so bad. Look, my clothes are dirty too.” She trembled and went to pull her mother’s hand. She pouted and cried and made afuss. Urging William and Emma to do something in retaliation for the treatment she’d received. “William, look, Mia’s clothes are covered with dirt. How can this Emily be like this? She’s gone too far!” Emma was very distressed for her daughter, and her face was full of indignation.

When William saw that Mia had suffered such a great grievance, he was also angry. “That rebellious girl is too ungrateful!”
