The fact was, Elise had made a wrong judgment. These two, who didn’t look like they could possibly berelated to the Sinclairs, were in fact Laura’s son and daughter-in-law. Elise and Alexander quicklyreleased them, and Joshua rushed forward to the other side of the bed before sobbing loudly while heclutched at Laura’s leg. “Mom, do you know that I was frantic with worry upon hearing the news thatyou were hospitalized?! You gave me such a fright!” Meanwhile, Maureen followed suit and wailed,“That’s true, Mom! We made our way here in a rush and left everything else behind.

Now that we’re back in town, we won’t be leaving anytime soon. We’ve made up our minds to stay byyour side and take care of you!” However, Laura shot them a disgusted look before she lifted her eyesto glance at Alexander standing by the doorway. “Griffith boy, we’ve got some personal family mattersto settle. We’ll be fine without you.” There was a flash of surprise across Alexander’s face but hequickly recollected himself and maintained his composure. Turning to look at Elise, he said, “I’ll wait foryou outside. Yell if you need anything.”

It was indeed quite inappropriate for an outsider like him to interfere in the Sinclair Family matters, butthese two strangers had popped out all of a sudden so he didn’t want to leave Elise and Laura to facethe duo themselves. However, Alexander had no choice but to retreat and wait outside. Elise noddedher head. Just as he was about to walk out, Laura voiced out once again, “Elise, you can wait outsidetoo.” Upon hearing that, Elise was taken aback but she obediently murmured, “Sure.” However, sheshot a warning look at Joshua and Maureen before turning around to walk out of the room.Subsequently, she left and shut the door gently behind her. She didn’t leave immediately but paused bythe doorway for a short while.

From the glass window by the door, she saw quite clearly how Laura pushed the couple aside andmade them go down to their knees. Subsequently, both parties seemed to be quite agitated but Elisecouldn’t hear their conversation. Elise frowned as she had never seen Laura behave this way. Even

when Madeline had been rude toward Laura, the latter didn’t lose her composure at all, unlike today.Meanwhile, Alexander approached Elise and held her shoulders before steering her to take a seat bythe side. “You shouldn’t worry too much. Grandma knows what she’s doing and everything will be fine,”Alexander comforted her. “I hope so.” Elise was uncertain about that.

Suddenly, she thought of something and she grabbed Alexander’s wrist before staring at him intently.“Do you really think that they are Grandma’s family members?” Elise was aware that she was adoptedbut to her, she was her grandparents’ only next-of-kin so she considered herself to be their actualgranddaughter. However, Joshua and his wife had appeared all of a sudden, causing Elise to feeluneasiness welling up within her. She was afraid of being kicked out from a fixed relationship and thenshe would be left on her own, without any sense of belonging. The truth was always quite odd that way.She wasn’t afraid of bloodshed nor sacrificing herself, but she was terrified of being without any family.Alexander wasn’t quite sure what was on Elise’s mind but he could tell that she didn’t quite like Joshuaand his wife.

After some consideration, he commented, “They might not be. It doesn’t make sense that you haven’tmet them at all if they are part of your family. Ultimately, there must have been fundamental issues inthe existing family for the family to fall apart this way.” “Elise, you’ll always have me.” Alexander tookher hands into his and tried to share some of his body warmth with her this way. “Besides, stayingunder one roof and having the same blood coursing through your veins doesn’t mean you’re a family. Ahome can only exist with love. You’ll always be Old Mrs. Sinclair and Old Master Sinclair’sgranddaughter.

This is something that will never change.” Elise found that her troubled heart suddenly calmed downsignificantly and she stared at the person in front of her, who was utterly sincere as he tried his best tokeep guard of her fragile heart. Suddenly, she realized that she no longer wanted to put on a toughfront so she dropped her defenses and gently leaned on his shoulders. ”Alexander Griffith,” Elise calledout his name. “Hey, I’m here,” Alexander responded. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing’s wrong.” She merely

wanted to hear his response. They sat leaning against each other and after half an hour, the door to theroom flung open from the inside. Subsequently, Joshua and Maureen walked out of the room.

After they had shut the door behind them, they sniffled and wiped off their snot before moving forwardto face Elise. ”Elise, it must have been tough on you over the last few days. From now onwards, youcan leave your grandma in our hands. You must be quite tired, too. Go home and take some rest.”Joshua put on an air due to his position as her elder and he gave out his instructions without botheringto ask for her opinion. “No, I’ll stay here and take care of Grandma.” However, Maureen interjected,“Joshua, why don’t you go back with Elise to get some supplies?” As she said that, she franticallysignaled with her eyes to Joshua. At that point, he caught on to it and he changed his tune. “That’strue.

I should go back and visit Dad.” “Let’s go, Elise. Lead the way.” He then reached out to grab Elise’shand as he spoke. Meanwhile, Elise immediately took a step backward and avoided him. Her distantexpression was still full of wariness. “Why did you move away?” Joshua was slightly upset. “We’refamily now. Are you worried that I’ll harm you?” As for Elise, she didn’t respond to his words and onlyallowed the tense situation to persist. As soon as Alexander saw that, he instantly went forward to talkto Joshua. “Mr. Sinclair, my car’s downstairs. I can give you guys a ride.” “Are you Elise’s fiancé?”Joshua glanced at Alexander with a profound look in his eyes, and he nodded approvingly as soon asAlexander confirmed it.

“That’s great. You’re quite polite and way more approachable than her. Since you’ve offered, how aboutI go down and wait for you guys? Hurry up and don’t make me wait for too long, though.” Upon hearingthat, Alexander revealed his signature gentlemanly smile and took out a key from his pocket. “Here yougo, Mr. Sinclair.” “Okay.” Joshua took the keys in his hands and left before them. After he left, Maureencouldn’t quite muster it to face Elise by herself, so she scurried over and opened the door to the room.Meanwhile, Elise was just about to walk into the room too but Alexander stopped her. “My men willwatch over Grandma, but Grandpa’s home by himself. Are you sure that you’ll be at ease by that?”

As soon as he mentioned Robin, Elise calmed down significantly. She glanced into the room and sawthat Maureen was serving Laura some water with a fawning look, so she became slightly at ease. Elisethen took another look at Laura before turning around decisively. “Let’s head home.” After half an hour,the three of them finally arrived at the Sinclair Residence. Robin was taking a nap in the lounge whenthey walked into the house. Elise moved forward to greet him softly, “Grandpa, we’re back. Grandma’sdoing quite well today.” However, Robin had his head down as he moved slowly to sit up from thechaise.

Right after he opened his eyes, Joshua suddenly rushed forward. “Dad, it’s me! I’m back!” Robin wasstartled by Joshua’s sudden outburst and the former retreated backward. As soon as the elderly mansaw the person standing in front of him, he grabbed his cane by the side and flung it. “You b*stard!You’re a scoundrel! Why are you back here?! You should have just died out there! Get lost!” Enraged,Robin stood up from his chair abruptly and went after Joshua with the cane.

It was only after a while that the former finally stopped chasing Joshua out of the room. Taking deepbreaths as he held onto his cane for support, Robin shouted, “I don’t want to see you! Get lost rightnow!” Meanwhile, Joshua maintained a flippant attitude. “No worries, Dad. I know that I’ve been quiteunfilial and I deserve this beating.

We’re family and I’m sure that that’s your way of showing your concern so don’t worry, I won’t takeoffense. I’ll still take care of you until you get to your deathbed.” “Y-You scoundrel! I know your plans!You’re not back here to take care of us but you’re here to send us off to the afterlife!”
