The money was meant for the company’s development. However, the others only wanted to reap the benefits without putting in any effort. Therefore, Ada had no choice but to kick them out of the board. She only invested the money after she became the sole shareholder
Perficient.
Silvia and Neil visited Abalene in the evening. While she was hospitalized, the doctor ran a full b*dy checkup on her. The report showed that she was in great health, so they agreed to discharge her.
When they arrived at the hospital ward, the nurse had just finished packing belongings.
Abalene’s
The moment Abalene saw Silvia, she said, “You didn’t have to come all the way to pick me up. You’re so busy with work.”
However, Silvia sat by her side and replied, “No. I heard that you haven’t been eating well on your own. Neil and I are going to have dinner with you tonight.
Abalene was extremely happy to hear this. She nodded and said, “Alright. A while back, Liam. bought me a few dozen chickens from his friend’s organic farm. They’re delicious. I’ll get the kitchen staff to prepare another one tonight.”
“Alright. We’ll have a good meal tonight.”
Both of them chatted on the way back to Harmony Yard. Silvia took the opportunity to secretly ch*ck her pulse. She only felt at ease once she confirmed that Abalene was doing well.
Just as they entered the living room, Abalene said to Neil, “Carry on with your work. I have something to discuss with Silvia, and it’s not a conversation that a man should be a part of.”
Neil glanced at Silvia before he nodded and said, “Okay.”
Abalene sat Silvia down on the couch and held her hand. “Is Neil treating you well?”
Silvia did not expect the question, and she blushed in response.
“He treats me quite well.”
“That’s good. Even though he’s my grandson, I treat you as my family too. I won’t tolerate it if he treats you poorly. But if you two reconcile, I won’t have any regrets in my life.”
“Madam Remus, I haven’t really thought about remarrying Neil. I probably need a little more time,” Silvia whispered.
Abalene laughed. “You’ve misunderstood me. I’m not trying to force you to marry him. Just take it slow.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
The Pond Family members were not fond of Silvia. However, she was grateful to have met such an open–minded grandmother figure like Abalene, who treated her so well.
The two of them chatted a while longer before a servant informed them that dinner was ready.

Abalene then asked the servant to serve Silvia a bowl of chicken soup. She smiled and said, You should drink a bit more. You’ve lost weight after working so much. It hurts me to see you like this.”
Silvia pinched her own cheek. “I don’t think so. Besides, I look better when I’m thinner.”
“You look great regardless. Please don’t follow any of those diet trends. They’re not good for your health.”
Silvia nodded. “Alright.”
She took a sip of the chicken soup once it was served, but her expression suddenly changed. Abalene noticed her pushing the soup aside after just one sip, so she immediately asked, “Why did you stop drinking? Doesn’t it taste good?”
Silvia shook her head. “It’s just a little too hot. I’ll drink it later.”
“Okay.”
Abalene was about to ask the servant to serve her a bowl as well. But Silvia suddenly said, “I think the soup needs a bit more salt. I’ll add it in the kitchen.‘
After that, she took the soup into the kitchen.
“Let the servant do it,” Abalene said behind her.
However, Silvia lowered her gaze. “I’ll do it.”
Neil sensed that something was wrong, so he stood up and said, “I’ll have a look.”
Abalene nodded. “Alright. Don’t let her hold the bowl of soup. What if she accidentally burns herself?”
Neil walked into the kitchen and saw Silvia staring at the pot of chicken soup. She was lost in her thoughts as he walked up to her and whispered, “Is there something wrong with it?“
