A month?
Or half a month?
I didn’t even see him last time I went to Canal Town. It can’t be more than half a month.”
“So what?”
Lucille retorted.
“Lucille, you can’t trust people so easily, especially men. Is someone you’ve known for less than a month really worth your trust?”
Lucille looked at his anxious, know–it–all expression and couldn’t help but sneer. “And so what?
I’ve known you for twelve years, so what?
Are you worthy of my trust?”
“Lucille, have I ever deceived you in any way?
Haven’t I been good enough to you?”
“Good to me?”
Lucille laughed. “Cedrick, I don’t want to dig up the past. It’s pointless. Go ask Maricela about the day she was kidnapped. See if she thinks you were better to her, or better to me.
The color drained from Cedrick’s face, leaving it even paler.
“Sorry, I don’t have time to argue about the past with you anymore. Let’s just meet at City Hall.‘
Lucille walked past him toward the hospital building.
Robert, who had been standing on the steps of the hospital building, immediately strode over Cedrick tried to grab Lucille, but Robert reached out and pulled her behind him
“Mr. Maynard, you can leave now.”
Robert didn’t look happy.

With their boss leading the charge, the bodyguards didn’t dare hang back and immediately surrounded them
Robert then led Lucille into the building and into an elevator
Cedrick stood there for a long time, not leaving. However, he didn’t see the two of them come back down for the rest of the day.
Now, Mylee was the only person he could contact
But besides telling him how the grandmother was doing, Mylee didn’t know anything else.
Since there were caregivers at the hospital, Mylee’s main job was to prepare and deliver three meals a day
Edwin was very efficient. After Robert gave the order, the redecorating, cleaning, and disinfecting of the house were all done in a single day. So, Mylee was the first to move into the villa, with a driver taking her to and from the hospital to deliver meals.
Cedrick ran into her at the hospital building at least twice, but he never got a chance to speak to her, only watching as Mylee entered the building with a food container, escorted by bodyguards.
Whenever he asked Mylee for any information, she would just say she didn’t know.
Cedrick was furious: “I’m the one who hired you!”
But Mylee apologized to him, “I’m sorry, Mr. Maynard, I have my own difficulties, I really can’t say‘
Cedrick couldn’t press her any further, because Lucille had sent him a text: “I’ll pay Mylee’s salary. Please don’t give her a hard time anymore.”
Cedrick looked at the message and could only give a bitter smile.
Five days later, his grandmother was discharged from the hospital, and Cedrick, who had been counting the days, came to pick her up.
When he arrived at the hospital and had just parked his car, he saw his grandmother from a distance, coming out supported by Lucille and another man.
Cedrick finally stood before his grandmother.
The grandmother who once doted on him the most now just looked at him with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, surrounded by people, including Lucille who was supporting her.
“Grandma…” he finally said, his voice a little hoarse. “I’m here to take you home from the hospital.

Let’s go home.”
Her expression was as kind as ever, but she only responded with a sigh

“Grandma, I’m sony. I didn’t save you in time…” Cedrick couldn’t bear to think about how his grandmother had survived the past half–month of abuse. Just thinking about it made his chest
ache.
Grandma shook her head, her voice still gentle. “Cedrick, it’s not your fault.”
“Grandma, can we go home then?
Back to our own home.”
Cedrick said, glancing at Lucille.
