Chapter 338 Why Are You Still Here?
“But you…” Mabel didn’t know what to say for the first time. She felt sorry for Nova who was having a hard life! Nova’s biological father had died early. Her husband didn’t like her. Her mother–in–law even picked on her. So, Mabel was always trying to find ways to make up for Nova. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nova smiled and said, “Grandma, don’t think too much. Don’t worry about me.”
Mabel had to say, “Well, okay.”
After that, they kept talking and laughing. Nova thought that she really felt the care of the family when she was staying by Mabel’s side.
Her relationship with Mabel had always been very good over the years. For Mabel, Nova was her real granddaughter. In Nova’s mind,
Mabel was also her real grandmother. Nova stayed here to chat with Mabel and was never disturbed.
Originally, Nova wanted to go back before dinner. But Mabel kept pulling her to prevent her from leaving and asked her to have dinner before she left. She had no choice but to stay Unexpectedly, the sound of a car engine came from the courtyard. Nova thought that it must be Orville who was back.
Nova and Mabel looked towards the door together. Nova froze for a moment when she saw a tall and distinguished figure coming in. Why did he come?
Even Mabel froze for a moment, thinking, “Why is he here?” In the past, Mabel would welcome him with surprise, “Hello, my dear grandson.” But today… Mabel really didn’t want him to come over. It was possible that once he came, Nova would leave.
Henry walked in and when he saw the two on the couch, he said calmly, “Hello, Grandma.”
Mabel looked at him with some suspicion. In an unwelcoming tone, she said, “What are you doing here?”
Henry did not speak. He froze at Mabel’s words. Nova smiled but said nothing. Henry coldly glanced at Nova before saying calmly, “I came to deliver your medicine.” Saying that, he raised the bag in his hand.
Mabel frowned and said, “I’m always taking medicine these days, but I don’t have a problem at all.”
Nova hastily held Mabel’s hand, persuading, “Grandma, good medicine always tastes bitter but it’s effective. You can’t sleep for a long time, which is not good for your health.”
Henry’s serious look eased.
Mabel sighed, “Okay. Put the medicine down and you can go.”
Nova froze while Henry was speechless. He thought, “How scared is Grandma that Nova will run away?”
Nova got up and walked to Henry. Henry looked at her coldly and didn’t say anything, while Nova took the medicine in his hand without looking at him. It was tense in the room. Nova walked towards Mabel, while carefully examining the medicine inside.
After reading the names of several boxes of medicines, she went to sit next to Mabel. She smiled and said, “Grandma, there is still some time before dinner. Why don’t you take the medicine first? Maybe it will take effect in the evening.”
“Okay, then I’ll listen to you.” Mabel had a helpless look, saying, “You just know to pour the medicine into my stomach. The medicine I’ve
been taking for the past two days is too bitter.” The most disliked thing by Mabel all these years was taking medicine. Nova had to coax
Mabel to take the medicine.
Mabel had no way to refuse Nova. She basically listened to Nova. Nova had already opened the medicine box and prepared some medicine for her. When Mabel was ready to take the medicine, she suddenly looked at the person who was still standing at the door and asked, “Why are you still here?”
