Franklin said gently to Kira, "Grandma, do you want some fruit?"

And then he signaled for Jasper to do it. Jasper hurriedly opened thefruit basket and took out several large red apples from it.

Before Jasper could peel one, Franklin said, "I'll do it myself."

Jasper was shocked and almost stabbed his finger with the knife.

It was rare for Franklin to peel an apple.

Only Kira and Sylvia deserved such treatment!

Sylvia then saw Franklin take over the apple and the knife, and beganto peel the apple with his big hands.

He was even charming when he peeled an apple.

Under the incandescent light of the ward, he looked mysterious andnoble, due to which Sylvia was unwilling to look away from him.Gradually, Sylvia flushed and her heart began to beat faster.

Franklin was too tempting. Even if Sylvia was very familiar with him,she was tempted by his handsome face.

She exhaled quietly to calm down.

Just as Sylvia looked away, Kira asked, "Franklin, what kind of job areyou doing?"

“I'm an airplane pilot, Grandma. When you get well, I'll invite you takethe plane I fly. I'm better than anyone else at flying a plane, so youneedn't worry about safety.” Franklin looked up at Kira with a smile.When he spoke to someone, he would habitually look directly into hiseyes. And his eyes were very gentle now.

The way Kira looked at him and said to him made him feel more athome, which even reminded him of his grandparents.

This feeling made him feel comfortable and cozy.

"Flying a plane? This is an awesome job." Kira was very satisfied withFranklin. She had thought Mark and Vaild were good.

But now she thought they were just better than ordinary people.Compared with Franklin, Mark and Vaild paled a lot.

Sylvia deserved the best.

"Sylvia is a doctor and I'm a pilot. I think we're both doing a good job."Franklin took a look at Sylvia meaningfully.

Words failed Sylvia.

She knew Franklin said this on purpose.

Sylvia thought, "Why don't you say you are the president of SouthStarAirlines? And even Maskelyne Group is under your control. It's nottypical of you to be so modest!"

Franklin didn't want to be modest, either, but he was afraid to scareKira.

“It's not easy to replace a good job." Kira nodded, "When Sylvia was 15years old, she was admitted to the college, but her father didn't let hergo to the college at such a young age. It was I who made the decisionand sent Sylvia to the college.”

Speaking of this, Kira sighed. She was not very old back then, so shehad a say in that. As she grew worse these years, Otto and Skylabecame increasingly aggressive.

"What are you saying this for, Grandma?" Sylvia was a little awkward."It doesn't matter. Franklin is your friend.” Kira smiled, "Franklin, do youknow? Sylvia achieved the highest scores in SAT, so the villagegovernment gave me a little money as a reward for raising Sylvia. Igave it all to Sylvia as tuition.”

Franklin's speculation was finally confirmed!

Sylvia was the anonymous girl who had achieved the highest scores inSAT.

Franklin knew it.

However, he was still shocked when Kira said it to her.

He looked towards Sylvia as if he wanted to devour her.

He did not expect that she grew up in the countryside. No wonder shewas so close to her grandmother. Knowing that Kira brought up Sylviaalone, Franklin had great respect for Kira from the bottom of his heart."Grandma, you must have had a hard time over the years." Franklinsaid softly, "Sylvia is great."

More exactly, Sylvia was excellent!

It was fantastic for a 15-year-old girl to achieve the highest scores inSAT.

She was a genius!

Sylvia listened to the conversation between Kira and Franklin. Althoughshe was the one who was being discussed, she found it hard to jointhem.

The apple was peeled. Sylvia didn't expect Franklin was good atpeeling apples. The apple skin was not broken but connected in circles.Franklin got up, cut up the apple into small pieces, and put them on adisposable plate with a small fork.

Then he brought the plate to Kira. "Grandma, you try it. The apple isfrom abroad.”

"Thank you." Kira could tell from Franklin's luxurious clothes,extraordinary appearance, and awesome temperament that he mustcome from a noble or wealthy family.

But Kira knew little of Franklin's background, so she was not surewhether his family would be nice to Sylvia.

That was what she was most worried about.

Thinking of this, Kira took a bite of the apple piece and said, "Do youhave any siblings?"

Franklin froze, and then he smiled again. "I have an older sister, ayounger brother, and a younger sister. Both my parents are livingabroad and they work in research.”

Franklin did not notice the gleam of confusion and sharpness in Sylvia'seyes when he said the word “research”.

Sylvia was surprised that Franklin had a sister.

She knew that he had younger siblings, but she knew nothing about hisolder sister.

Therefore, Sylvia glanced at Franklin in doubt. She felt she still knewlittle about him.

Realizing Sylvia's confusion, Franklin said, "My sister has always livedwith my parents, and she is also engaged in research.”

Sylvia did not say anything, but looked at the time and then at Kira. Kiralooked tired, so Sylvia said, "It's late. You should go back."

Franklin did not get up but nestled on the sofa, "Grandma needs goodcare, so I will take care of her tonight. And you can rest in the loungenext to us."

Franklin said naturally as if he was Kira's granddaughter-in-law.

And he was doing what a granddaughter-in-law should do.

Sylvia was startled, and so was Kira.

Before Sylvia could say something, Kira said, "Franklin, I can't haveyou do that. Hurry up and get back to rest. I don't need anyone here.And the nurses do much better than you in taking care of me. Hurry upand go home."

Kira said seriously, "Franklin, can you give Sylvia a ride home?"Sylvia was lost for words.

She wanted to refuse.

But Kira continued in a firm and decisive tone, "I'm fine, so you must goback to rest right now. Or I will be angry!"

Sylvia knew Kira's temper. In order not to make Kira angry, Sylvia hadto follow Franklin out of the ward.

It was very late now.

The hospital, where the Andrews made a scene, fell into silence at thistime.

Sylvia had mixed feelings inside her.

She didn't expect Franklin would chat with her grandmother soattentively.

In her mind, he was always ignorant. Thus, she was surprised by whatFranklin did.

Sylvia was also guilty of her negligence in caring about Kira.

She didn't even know that her grandmother was seriously ill.

She felt very sorry for Kira and thought she shouldn't have spent toomuch time on work. At the sight of Kira's huddling in the attic, Sylviaalmost freaked out in a rage.

She even wanted to kill Otto and Skyla.
