“You young people are all living outside, you don’t cook for yourselves. You’re either eating out or ordering takeout on your phones, which is very bad for your health. If you move in, I can’t say much else, but three meals a day will definitely not be a problem. We’ve always kept your room for you.”
Looking at the increasingly thin Tracy, she truly
ached
the bottom of her heart. She had long
regarded Tracy as her own daughter. How could she not worry and ache when her daughter was suffering and being wronged outside?
Tracy smiled at Lily. “It’s okay. I have my own house now, and I cook for myself often. Please don’t worry. I’ve already grown up, I’m not a child anymore. I can take care of myself.”
She knew her third aunt and uncle doted on her and liked her very much, but how could she trouble them with everything?
Just as she was thinking, the phone in her pocket rang. It was Grandma. Tracy answered it in front of them and put it on speaker.
Madam Sarah’s frail voice came from the other end. “Tracy, how is Morgan? Is his condition serious?”
Tracy glanced at Morgan, whose expression had softened. “Grandma, he’s awake. The doctor said it’s nothing serious. He’ll probably be discharged in a couple of days.”
Grandma’s health wasn’t good, so she could only say what was best, not wanting the old woman to worry about Morgan’s health.
Madam Sarah sighed. “That’s good. I was thinking of going to see him tomorrow, but he’ll be very unhappy to see me, so I’d better not! Tracy, you tell Lily to take good care of Morgan. Don’t tell them I called.”
“Okay,” Tracy replied.
After hanging up, Tracy thought she saw Morgan wiping away tears, but she didn’t expose him.
Tracy sighed and said, “Grandma has been very concerned about you all these years. She’s always asking me about your family’s situation. Grandma is very sick this time. I heard from Linda that it’s serious, and she could… at any time. I really hope you can both let bygones be bygones. Even just sitting down peacefully for a meal would be good, Grandma doesn’t have much time left. I don’t want you both to have regrets.”
If possible, she really hoped Morgan could forgive Grandma. Although she knew the chances were slim, she still wanted to try. She knew that Grandma’s greatest wish was to receive forgiveness from Morgan’s family. And she had seen long ago that Morgan’s family was also very concerned about Grandma; she just didn’t know why they were unwilling to take that first step.
Perhaps Grandma’s concern was that Morgan would be unhappy to see her. After all, on the third anniversary of Mom’s death, Morgan’s family’s attitude toward Grandma was truly terrible. And on Morgan’s side, for some reason, he was also unwilling to bow his head, unwilling to even look at Grandma.
Morgan’s eyes were red. He snorted lightly. “Tracy, you don’t need to speak for her. The feud between her and me can never be reconciled in this lifetime. I will not eat a meal with her. You don’t need to be her lobbyist. I don’t need to be told what state her health is in. I won’t feel sorry for her.”
“Back then, if it wasn’t for that mother of his being selfish, having no money but insisting on sending his brother to some lousy university, how would their sister have been forced into marriage, only to end up with one body and two lives?

Thinking of his sister’s tragic death, Morgan’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. And the main culprit for all of this was his “good mother.”
Tracy was about to say something, but her phone suddenly rang again. This time, it was Sean.
She walked out to answer it. Sean’s tired voice came from the other end. “What are you doing?”
Tracy sat on a bench in the hallway. “I’m at the hospital.
Sean’s anxious voice came from the other end. “Did you have another episode? Which hospital are you at?”
Knowing Sean had misunderstood, she quickly explained, “It’s not me who’s sick, it’s Uncle Morgan. He collapsed and was sent to the hospital. I’m here with him.”
The other end was clearly relieved, then said, “No wonder your brother said his parents‘ phones weren’t reachable. Call your brother back now, so he can rest
easy.”
“Okay,” Tracy replied.
After hanging up, Tracy called Jackson. The call connected quickly.
“Jackson, they’re at the hospital. Lily’s phone was lost, that’s why she didn’t get your call.”
Tracy didn’t get home until after ten. It was only because Lily repeatedly urged her to go back that she left.
ked out of the hospital, she saw Sean getting out of a car, travel–worn and looking
y come out, he walked toward her, followed by Gary carrying gifts.
ary smiled and greeted Tracy, “Hello, Ms. Xander.”
“Hello,” Tracy replied with a smile.
