Chapter 273
Edwin thought for a moment. Robert probably wanted to protect Lucille from seeing all this ugliness, and at the same time, he was sending a message: give up on that Maynard guy completely.
But anyway, with Robert around, Lucille and the old lady were under tight protection, so nothing would go wrong.
Just as Robert put his phone away, his grandma on the hospital bed suddenly stirred.
Her eyelids fluttered, and she let out a weak, hoarse sound, “Lucille…”
Lucille and Robert stood up at the same time, flanking the old lady on either side of the bed.
“Grandma, Lucille is here. Lucille is back…” Lucille held her grandma’s hand, her voice soft as she fought back a sob.
Grandma was still a bit delirious, but upon hearing Lucille’s voice, tears immediately welled up in the corners of her eyes. She murmured, “Lucille, stay away. Grandma is dirty… Lucille, don’t
come over…”
Lucille’s heart instantly ached as if pricked by needles. She leaned down, pressing her cheek against her grandma’s. “Grandma, don’t talk nonsense. You’re not dirty. We’re at the hospital now. Everything’s okay. You won’t be bullied anymore…”
“Grandma, look, you’re on an IV, right?
Everything is clean everywhere. Don’t be scared, Grandma…” Lucille kissed her grandma’s cheek, just like when she was a child, comforting her grandmother who had never been truly cherished.
Grandma must have realized she was safe, and she couldn’t hold back her emotions. The two of them, grandmother and granddaughter, held each other and cried their hearts out.
Robert waited until they had cried for a good while before saying, “Alright, alright, it’s okay now. Let’s not cry anymore!”
He gently hugged both his grandma and Lucille.
“Is that… Cedrick?”
Grandma asked, murmuring as she looked in his direction.

“Grandma?”
Lucille met her grandma’s gaze. “Grandma, can you see?”
“Is it Cedrick?”
Grandma asked again, squinting.
“Call the doctor.”
Robert immediately pressed the call button.

But just then, another person burst into the room. With a sudden shove, Robert, who was caught off guard, was pushed aside.
“Grandma, Cedrick is here. Cedrick has come.”
Cedrick had heard Grandma calling his name from outside the room and rushed in.
Grandma frowned and pulled her hand back.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed again as the medical staff arrived. Lucille stepped back from the bedside to make way for the nurse, and Cedrick had no choice but to give his spot to the
doctor.
The doctor examined Grandma, paying special attention to her eyes. Then he said to Lucille and Robert, “Don’t worry. She had a temporary lack of blood supply to her eyes because the diarrhea was so severe, but it will recover. Besides, her condition is already better than when she was admitted. She just needs to rest. She’s not that old and is usually in good health, so it shouldn’t be a major problem.”
Lucille breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m going to adjust her prescription. Call me if you need anything.”
the doctor said.
After the doctor and nurse left, just as Lucille was about to sit down and talk with Grandma, Cedrick leaned down first, taking her hand. “Grandma, it’s Cedrick. Is there anything you want to
cat?
I’ll go get it.”
Once again, Grandma pulled her hand back.
“Grandma…” Cedrick said in disbelief, “It’s me, Cedrick, Grandma…”

But Grandma just closed her eyes wearily and waved him away.
“Let the patient rest.”

Robert grabbed Cedrick by the back of his collar and pulled him away from Grandma.
“You…” Cedrick had had enough of this guy. He turned around and swung his fist, ready to punch him.
Robert caught his wrist, squeezed it hard, and said in a low voice, “I said not to disturb the old lady. Cedrick, please have some self–respect.”
“What right do you have to tell me to have self–respect?”
Cedrick gritted his teeth. “I’m her grandson–in–law. What right do
you have?
