Chapter 45 Stunning Enough

"Austin, how dare you touch my phone!" Queenie was so angry that she wanted to scratch him with her nails. "You better download it back for me!"

Without even looking at her, Austin replied, "That's your phone's problem. You need to get a new one."

Queenie was speechless.

Sam was relieved that they finally arrived at the hospital. He reminded, "Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, we're at the hospital now."

Austin closed his computer and got out of the car. He was tall and had long legs, which made him look very elegant.

Queenie thought to herself, 'Ha, he's just pretending.'

She also got out of the car and followed him into the elevator.

Sam carried various gifts. They were prepared by Austin but given in Queenie's name.

This was Austin's instruction. He considered it very thoughtfully.

Mary had already been waiting at the elevator entrance. When the elevator doors opened and Mary saw the woman behind Austin, she was stunned.

"Grandmother!"

Queenie stepped out first. When she saw the silver-haired old woman, she couldn't help but tear up.

It had been five years, and Mary had aged a lot. But she still looked good.

Mary...

"Grandmother, it's me, Queenie. Don't you recognize me anymore?"

"Queenie?" Mary looked at the beautiful woman in front of her and then looked at her grandson, Austin.

Austin nodded to indicate confirmation.

Only then did Mary snap out of it. She was so excited that she almost cried, "Queenie, you really are Queenie! Oh my, you've become so beautiful. Your grandmother almost didn't recognize you."

"You look so good, and your figure is great! Austin, stop standing there like a fool. Lead your wife inside to see your grandfather."

Mary kept giving signals to her grandson. She was so eager to bring Austin closer, "Look at how beautiful your wife is. I've lived to this age and haven't seen such a beautiful woman before! Austin, hurry up and take her inside. Look at how lucky you are!"

Just as Austin was about to follow Mary's arrangement, Nora called him. He hesitated whether to answer or not.

Mary was displeased to see that her grandson didn't understand.

On the other hand, Queenie was used to it a long time ago.

Meanwhile, in another elevator, James walked out with his hands in his pockets. His gaze quickly swept over everyone present. Then, he rushed over and grabbed Queenie's delicate and fair wrist.

"Sister-in-law! I finally get to see you, sister-in-law!"

Queenie was shocked.

Austin was speechless.

Mary was confused.

After a moment of confusion, Austin decisively snatched Queenie's hand from James and placed it in his own palm, wanting to show that Queenie belonged to him.

Austin's expression turned icy, and he exuded a chilling aura. Then, he lectured in an elder's tone, "You're already 26, why are you still so impatient? You're only seeing your sister-in-law, is it necessary to be so excited?"

‘He's 26?’ Queenie was stunned by James' age. When she first saw him, she thought he was a teenager.

Just as James was about to speak, Mary intervened, "Alright, alright, let's not keep your grandpa waiting too long. You and Queenie go ahead."

From the moment Austin pulled her over, Queenie was reluctant and wanted to struggle. He really was a domineering man!

Austin understood her thoughts perfectly. That's why he warned her in a low voice, "Do you want Grandma to know about James' feelings for you?"

Queenie remained silent. What feelings does James have for her?

"Honey, let's go see Grandpa." Austin played the role of a good husband. Indeed, his magnetic and gentle voice was quite alluring.As Queenie leaned against him, she immediately calmed down.

Mary looked at this scene with great joy, "Yes, yes, hurry up and go see your grandpa. He's been waiting for you for a long time."

James thought to himself, 'Yeah, keep pretending! I can see clearly that sister-in-law isn't willing. I'm just watching you act!'

Unfortunately, Mary sighed in his ear, "Look at how well-matched they are in appearance. Your brother has good taste. He actually found such a good daughter-in-law."

However, when she turned her head and saw James, her attitude completely changed, "You're already 26, you should know better. You were too clueless when you saw your sister-in-law. What if you scared her?"

James remained silent. He was already having a hard time. These past couple of days have been miserable for James. Because of Austin, he had profiles of all the heiresses in Imperick. Then, Austin even told James' mom, "James likes Queenie, that's his sister-in-law. James has always liked the women around me, it's a sickness. So, you need to find a girlfriend for him as soon as possible."

Cathy was shocked when she heard this. Immediately, she began arranging blind dates for James with those girls.

"Grandma!" James caught up to Mary.

Mary asked straight away, "What did you think of your blind date today?"

As soon as James heard about the blind date, he wanted to die. He watched six identical movies in one day, had six meals, and even went to the amusement park twice. He was on the verge of being labeled as a player.

"It's alright, you're still young. You can slowly find a girlfriend. Don't rush it," Mary said.

"I am in a rush, Grandma," James said.

Although Mary was shrewd, she didn't know about James's feelings for Queenie. "James, do you really want to get married?"

James nodded continuously, "Yes, I do."

"You've seen so many girls, and you don't like any of them?"

"I like one girl. But I can't have her right now. I guess I have to wait outside the courthouse," James estimated.

"Are you waiting for her to get a divorce?"

"Yes."

Mary slapped him on the back of his head, "You brat, can't you have some self-respect? You still want to wait for her to get a divorce? I don't think you'll ever get her even if you wait until you die. You should give up on this idea."

"You're so young, why do you want to be someone's mistress? You're really embarrassing!" James felt hurt.

"Hey, I'm biased. What can you do about it?" James was speechless.

"In the past, when you and your brother fought over Nora, it caused quite a scene. You've never been reliable! Your brother decided to give Nora to you, and then you disappeared. I ask you, why did you run away? "That's how you've always been since you were young. Whenever your brother likes a woman, you like her too. Are you intentionally targeting your brother, or do you genuinely like the same type of woman as him?"

James was about to cry. If he said it was a coincidence, would anyone believe him?

Mary said, "Don't follow me in, I'll call your mom later. I'll ask her to make you work harder these two days. You should try to find a girlfriend as soon as possible."

James remained silent. He thought to himself, 'Can someone tell me why all the women I like are related to Austin? Damn, I'm so unlucky. Hmph, I won't give up easily.'

…

In the hospital room, Derek fell asleep after taking his medicine. He looked tired.

Queenie and Austin didn't want to disturb him, so they stood aside and took care of Derek carefully.

"Has Grandpa been in poor health for these past few years?" Queenie asked softly.

Austin covered Derek with a blanket and said, "He's getting old, so it's normal."

Derek and Mary were already 80 years old. Their relationship had always been good throughout their lives. They couldn't be separated from each other. If something happened to Derek, Mary probably wouldn't be able to live on.

Queenie gazed at Derek's wrinkled face, feeling a pang in her heart. She would never forget the first time Derek saw her. He kindly said, "This is the future of the Lewis family." That statement directly elevated Queenie's status. At the same time, it indirectly informed the other members of the Lewis family that Queenie was the lady of the house.

Queenie stared at Derek for a while. "It seems like Grandpa has a headache. He doesn't look comfortable sleeping. And his chest is heaving, indicating that he feels chest discomfort."

Austin glanced at her. "He has high blood pressure, so it's inevitable that he will feel dizzy and have headaches. Also, many older adults experience chest discomfort."

"You step aside."

Austin looked wary, "What are you going to do?"

Queenie checked Derek's physical condition without paying attention to his strange expression.

Austin was silent. He had a confused look on his face.

Queenie ignored his strange expression. Then, she was about to proceed with her actions on Derek.

"Are you crazy, Queenie?"

Queenie glared at him, "If you want Grandpa to sleep more peacefully, then shut up!"

Austin narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Queenie said, "Austin, I'm confident about this. That's why I will give Grandpa a massage."

"Who do you think you are, using him as your guinea pig?" Austin sneered, "He is my grandpa. Queenie, don't be too confident."

Queenie remained silent. Was she too confident? After all, she had some fame on the internet and was a doctor who required appointments. Others didn't even have a chance to invite her for a massage.

During their time at Apriland, Queenie helped many people solve headaches and chest discomfort, as well as various other difficult conditions.

She didn't blame Austin for being so nervous. Back then, when he had a headache, Queenie took the opportunity to give him a massage without his notice. Austin discovered what she was doing, but she was so nervous that her hand trembled, causing her to massage the wrong area. This made his headache even worse.

Because of this, Queenie was almost charged with attempted murder of her husband. As a result, she hadn't seen Austin for several months.

She had always been careful in apologizing to the Lewis family. Fortunately, Austin's parents and grandparents were more reasonable. They didn't blame her too much.

However, since then, her relationship with Austin had become even worse. She didn't know if it was because of this incident, but Austin immediately moved to another room to sleep. They slept in separate rooms for nearly two years.

Queenie didn't want to see Derek in pain. So, she retorted, "As long as you don't scare me, there will definitely be no accidents this time."

"Huh, I think it's because of your guilt that you will be scared. In any case, you don't have permission to touch my grandpa."

"Why are you so stubborn? I just want Grandpa to sleep more peacefully. Your approach will only harm him!"

Austin couldn't be bothered to say anything more. He just held onto her and they remained in a stalemate.

When Nora came into the ward carrying various gifts, she saw Austin holding hands with a girl. She was shocked and almost couldn't control her emotions.

Nora only saw the girl's profile, but that was enough to leave her mesmerized.
