Chapter 198 Moving Back to the Old House?
Hearing his response, I nodded in return.
Perhaps it’s because by now, I’ve completely accepted the divorce, a topic that should have been heavy, but at this point, it doesn’t have any impact on me.
The car drove all the way to the hospital and stopped at the entrance. Just as I was about to say goodbye to Walter, his voice came from beside me, “Come up with me to see grandma, she’s about to be discharged.”
After some thought, I didn’t refuse. After all, I had already come.
Hospital, ward.
Carley’s room was very lively, the laughter could be heard from afar.
Walter and I pushed the door open and saw that Emma had arrived, along with a girl about ten years old, Emma’s daughter, Nannan, who was talking to Carley and making her very happy.
Seeing us enter, everyone turned to look. Observing this scene, I looked at Emma and laughed, “Sister-in-law…”
I hadn’t finished speaking when a voice came from the kitchen near the small balcony, “The strawberries are washed!” Then a figure came out, holding a plate of bright red strawberries and smiling.
Seeing the person for a moment, I frowned subconsciously.
Gianna naturally saw us as well. Her expression first changed from joy to clation, then to stiffness. Of course, the former was because she saw

Walter, and the latter was because she saw me.
“It’s ready, come and sit down quickly.” Emma stood up and took the strawberries from Gianna’s hand, looking at me and Walter, “You guys try it, these strawberries were found on the way down the mountain when Nannan and I went to watch the sunrise this morning, they’re very sweet.”
As she spoke, she had already pa*sed the plate of strawberries to us. I politely took one, expressed my thanks, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Gianna. Her complexion wasn’t great at the moment, and she was looking at me with a displeased expression.
After tasting the strawberry, Emma began to introduce Gianna.
Walter, of course, was introduced to me.
I smiled and greeted Gianna, “Hello.”
Gianna reined in the displeasure on her face, looking at me with an indifferent expression, she said two words, “Hello.”
Seeing this, I didn’t say much. I walked over to Carley and asked about her health. After being tormented twice in a row, Carley had become much thinner than before.
Looking at him, he didn’t seem as energetic as before.
Pulling me aside, she said, “The doctor said I could be discharged in a day or two, Tabatha. I’ve been wanting to talk to you these past few days. Are you free for a while?”
I shook my head, smiled faintly, “I’m not busy, Grandma. Feel free to say whatever you want.”
Carley glanced at the few people standing nearby and said, “I’m going to have a conversation with Tabatha you all go about your own
business, don’t just stand here.”
Emma laughed, “Grandma, you chat with Tabatha, don’t worry about us.” Saying this, she pulled Gianna to the sofa in the living room to
chat.
Walter, on the other hand, was called over by Carley to sit by her side, watching her with such seriousness.
Walter and I unconsciously exchanged a glance.
Carley looked at us and said, “I know my b*dy isn’t what it used to be. I’ve been thinking about what to do after I get discharged from the hospital. Tabatha, Walter, I know you young people don’t like living in the old house because it’s far and inconvenient. But your grandmother is getting old and she wants to see you more often. After I get discharged, could you move back to the old house?”
When Carley spoke these words, there was a hint of helplessness and pleading in her voice.
I instinctively wanted to refuse, opening my mouth to say, “Grandma, Walter and I have already…”
“Grandma,” Walter suddenly interrupted me, looking at Carley, “Tabatha and I were just thinking the same thing. You’re not well, we should spend more time with you.”
I froze, glancing at him sideways. Wasn’t he supposed to have brought up the divorce with Carley? Why was he going along with what Carley said?
Walter didn’t look at me, he just smiled faintly and avoided my gaze.
Hearing him say this, Carley couldn’t help but smile, her face lighting up with joy. “That’s great,” she said, “I’m sorry that you guys didn’t stay at the old house before it’s my fault for not thinking it through and
letting…” At this point, Carley looked at me with a hint of guilt,
“letting someone who shouldn’t have stayed there move in. I’ve already instructed Odin to renovate the place, and the rooms have been cleaned up for you guys. Tabatha, if you still have any concerns, there are many courtyards in the old house. Once I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll accompany you to pick a place you like to live in, okay?”
