“What?” Eleanor’sheadtilted, and she fainted.
Evan and Scan scrambled to help her, their actions marked by panic.
In contrast, Sierra, Jonathan, and Dickson were gathered in Lily’s hospital room, marking the first time Sierra formally introduced Jonathan to Lily.
Laly had heard about theday’scourtroom drama and looked at Sierra with sympathy. “Sierra has been wronged
“Not wronged, I still have grandma!”
Sierra hugged Lily, then shared some promising news, “The initial trials have gone well, and it should be ready for clinical use soon. Grandma,you’ll be better soon
Though Lily didn’t understand the specifics, she knew from Oscar and others how much Sierra had done for her, and she gently embraced Sierra
Their gathering was joyful, and perhaps buoyed by the good mood, Lily’s appetite improved significantly. She even requested the bufis from asmallalleyway and pastries Dickson had once brought her.
T’ll go now
Dickson quickly stood up, “Where is that bun shop, Sierra? Tell me, and I’ll go buy them”
The shop was hard to find, lacking even a name. Sierra considered going herself, glancedatJonathan, who said. “You go, I’ll stay here with grandma”
Sierra nodded and left with Dickson, while Jonathan watched them enter the elevator before returning to the room
“Grandma, did you want to talk to me about something?”
Jonathan was sharp. He knew Lily’s request for the food was her way of wanting some private words with him, something Sierra probably realized too, hence her cooperation in leaving.
Lily didn’t speak immediately but instead studied Jonathan carefully, noticing he had donned glasses again, a tactical choice to appear more approachable to an older person.

“I see,” Lily nodded, her eyes sharpenoughtocatch the nuances inJonathan’sexpression.
So,Jonathanhadn’t yet considered his future with Sierra. How could I entrust Sierra to him knowing this!

Her biggest concern remained Sierra. CouldItrust this man in front of me?
Jonathan, sensing her worry, said, “Grandma, don’t worry, I won’t hurt Sierra, nor will I let anyone else hurt her.
His future considerations might not extend far, but he was confident in his ability to keep that promise.
Lily’s eyes flickered with relief. “That’s good to hear.”
Finished
She paused before adding. “If one day you feel it’s not working out, just talk to her gently. Don’t let her get too upset. She’s faced a lot of hardships since she was young, and I won’t be around much longer to support her.”
As she spoke, Lily suddenly began to cough violently. Jonathan quickly got up to get her water, but his expression darkened when he saw blood on her palm.
