Chapter 396 Medicinal Herbs

Arthur exchanged glances with Antony when he heard the request as he had the call on speakers

“Okay, Mommy,” he agreed.

At that point, Elizabeth was so nervous she felt as though she was about to pass out. I sure am unfit tosneak around.

After taking a deep breath, she said, “Arthur, do it fast. Tell me when you’re done.”

Then, she ended the call and tried to twist the doorknob again.

The Hilton family is pretty weird for hiding their router. I guess that’s how it is with the most influentialfamily in Mistwood.

A few moments later, Elizabeth’s phone vibrated. It was a WhatsApp from Arthur that read: Mommy, it’sdone.

Smiling, she replied: Thanks, Arthur!

With her mind at ease, she turned around and headed back downstairs.

She and Abby then had lunch with Hector and Chelsea After the meal, it was time for him to nap

Seeing that her daughter was also sleepy, Elizabeth got up and said, “Hector, Old Mrs. Hilton, we’llhead back first then.”

Abby almost fell asleep in Chelsea’s arms. When she heard her mother’s words, she let out a big yawnand slid down the couch.

“Okay. We’re gomg back now. Good bye!” Abby said and walked to Elizabeth’s side obediently

She held onto her mother’s hand and said, “Let’s go. I’m sleepy, and I miss Arthur and Antony.”

It was no surprise that Abby said that as she had always been with her brothers together since theywere in Elizabeth’s womb, not to mention

how the three of them had always stayed together even after they were born

Elizabeth smiled. “Okay! We’re going back now.”

Naturally, Hector was reluctant to see Abby go. His eyes were glued to the little girl as he tried to raisehis hand. Despite his strong desire to

speak, he could not utter a word no matter how hard he tried

They are my granddaughter-in-law and great grandkid. Yet, no one knew about it, letting them wanderoutside for years. I tremble to think

how much they must have suffered

Likewise, Chelsea was reluctant to see them go. Even after she walked them to the car, she keptwaving at them.

At the sight of that, Elizabeth thought Hector and Chelsen were pitiful. After all, there were not manypeople in the Hilton family. Matthew was their only grandson.

They must feel desolate, living in such a big manor on their own. I’m sure they were happy when theysaw children because it added so much

fe to the place. I should exhort Matthew to come back more often and spend more time with them.

Abby was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open while sitting in the child seat

Hugging her Barbie doll closer, she said, “Mommy, we’ll come and visit them again, okay?”

Chapter 396 Medicinal Herbs

Elizabeth was aware that her daughter loved having fun and knew who was genuinely nice to her.

Cognizant of the fact that she adored the elderly couple, Elizabeth responded, “Sure. We’ll bring Arthurand Antony along with us too.”

Abby grumbled, “It’s so big here and beautiful like a princess’ castle. It’s just a shame that we can’twatch television.”

She said that because she loved watching cartoons. Yet, the internet in the Hilton residence went out,so she did not get to watch any

Elizabeth burst out in laughter when she heard her complaint.

“Yes. But it’s bad for your eyes if you watch too much television.”

Abby had fallen asleep by then, so she did not hear her at all.

A little over an hour later, Elizabeth parked the car in front of her house. Cody came out of the houseand carried Abby out of the child seat.

Seeing how soundly she was sleeping, she remarked with a smile. “She must have had a lot of fun tobe so tired.”

While holding the car door open to make it convenient for Cody to get out of the car, Elizabeth stared atthe little girl in her housekeeper’s

arms.

That was when she recalled how Abby seemed to be in better health recently as the latter did not fallsick as often anymore. Thanks to that, she

did not need to worry as much

As they were about to reach the front door, Cody piped up suddenly, “Lizzy, could you tell Mr. Hiltonthat I’ve run out of the medicinal herbs

he gave me previously?”

“Medicinal herbs? What medicinal herbs?”

It struck Cody then that Matthew had told her to keep it a secret. She could not help but blame herselffor being so careless that day and letting

it slip.

“Cody, tell me

H

Elizabeth had no idea there were other secrets between Cody and Matthew besides the fact that hewas trying to get the older woman to work

for him.

Cody grimaced and finally replied, “Lizzy, Abby is rather heavy. I’ll head inside first. I don’t think I cancarry her much longer.”

After making up an excuse, she tried to run away, but Elizabeth went over and helped her supportAbby.

With a cold gaze, the young woman insisted, “Hurry up and tell me.”
