Chapter 438: 438: You Want to Get Rid of Me?
Mrs. Jenkins noticed that even the chief secretary came in with papers for Olivia to sign.
It was clear Olivia was extremely busy.
Although she didn’t show it, Mrs. Jenkins felt guilty deep down.
Suddenly, Mrs. Jenkins glared at Olivia, and grumbled, “Just leave, I don’t want to see you. Your phone calls are so annoying, they’re preventing me from getting any sleep.”
Leaf Fiona stood up for her mistress and responded, “Madam, your stomach pain is unbearable, and you should really rest. If you hadn’t snuck food, you wouldn’t be in the hospital in the first place, and the mistress wouldn’t have to accompany you to see the doctor.”
“Even amidst her busy schedule, the mistress still spends time with you, yet you treat her with such coldness. You really don’t appreciate what you’ve got! You ought to cultivate kindness for your own good,” she added.
Mrs. Jenkins flashed a fierce gaze at Leaf Fiona, “You shut up, this doesn’t concern you!”
Leaf Fiona wanted to argue further, but Olivia gave her a look indicating she should stop.
Instantly, Leaf Fiona held her tongue and stepped out of the room to get some air.
Mrs. Jenkins questioned Olivia sternly, “Do you think I’m a troublesome old woman too? I’m burdensome, aren’t I? You want to get rid of me, don’t you?”
Olivia stood by her grandmother’s bed, her hand gently stroking Mrs. Jenkins’ chest. In a soft voice she replied: “Try to speak less since your stomach is aching. Don’t get upset, your health is most important. I’ll mute my phone, so it won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Let me tell you, I still despise you. No matter what you do, I’ll never forgive you, I really don’t want to see you. Maybe, without you here to annoy me, I’ll get better sooner. Do you understand?”
Olivia looked at her grandmother silently for a while.
Even though she was hardened to such attacks, Olivia couldn’t help feeling a pang of bitterness.
She moistened her lips before slowly saying, “Alright, you rest up in the hospital. I’ll drop by when it’s time for your gastroscopy.”
With Olivia gone, Mrs. Jenkins was alone in the VIP ward. Suddenly, she felt a powerful surge of loneliness.
Mrs. Jenkins’ mood kept deteriorating, as a feeling of desolation engulfed her completely.
She lay there in bed suffering from stomach pains, and couldn’t help pitying herself.
With so much to manage in the company, why bother keeping her granddaughter by her side in the hospital? After all, she wouldn’t die in a day or two. Mrs. Jenkins twisted her lips into a bitter smile.
As she couldn’t eat anything before the gastroscopy, Mrs. Jenkins laid on the bed in a daze, waiting.
Feelings of desolation, inexplicable sorrow, and mixed emotions accumulated in her heart. Mrs. Jenkins ridiculed herself: You reap what you sow!
Suddenly the door to the room opened, and Mrs. Jenkins heard cheery voices.
Looking up, Mrs. Jenkins was surprised to see the friends she had recently made at Time Garden. They came with flowers and fruits to visit her.
In an instant, Mrs. Jenkins smiled. Her eyes brightened, her mood lifted, and she asked Leaf Fiona to usher her friends in and serve some fruits.
“You’ve all come to see me, and bought so many things, that’s too generous of you!”
Granny Wallace looked at Mrs. Jenkins admiringly, “Fannie, your granddaughter is so thoughtful. She worried about your mood and kindly asked us to come and keep you company. You can rest assured during your hospital stay, focus on getting better. We’ll come and visit you every day, chat with you, so you won’t feel bored.”
Granny Charles chimed in, “Dr. Jenkins is the best doctor I’ve met. Fannie, you’re really fortunate.”
