Chapter 448
Isabel asked suspiciously, “Is Great-grandma sleeping?”
Liam said, “It doesn’t look like it.”
“Then why is she closing her eyes and ignoring us?”
Liam looked at the door.
Isabel also looked over.
There, Aunt Tonya and Sebastian walked in, looking at them with a complicated gaze.
Isabel could not understand their expressions and cocked her head in confusion.
Liam asked directly, “Is Great-grandma sick?”
Aunt Tonya lowered her head.
Sebastian sighed and said, “Yes.”
“What kind of sickness is it?”
Sebastian thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know the technical term. I just know that people with this sickness have to sleep for a long time to recover.”
Isabel tilted her head again. “What kind of sickness makes a person sleep for a long time?”
She still could not understand, but Liam suddenly said, “Greatgrandma became a vegetable.”
Isabel’s little face changed.
She knew about vegetative people. She saw many people on TV who became vegetables and never woke up.
She immediately looked at Sebastian. “How did Great-grandma become a vegetable?”
Sebastian pursed his lips.
He could not tell them that Madam Carter’s condition had something to do with their mother.
The atmosphere in the room became depressing.
Isabel’s lips trembled as she started to cry.
She felt upset when she thought that their Great-grandma who doted on them the most would never wake up again, and she felt even worse when she thought that her mother would never come back.
She wailed. “Great-grandma became a vegetable, and Mommy left because she was angry at Baddie. Liam and I are going to be unwanted orphans…”
“Thomas?”
The young man stood beside her bed, the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile. “It’s me.”
Sylvia asked, “I’m not dead?”
“Yes, you’re still alive.”
She immediately tried to sit up.
However, a stabbing sensation came from her left calf, and she hissed in pain before lying back down.
Thomas said, “Your leg is still injured, so don’t move about.”
Sylvia nodded.
She felt it.
Her calf hurt, but it also told her that she was alive!
After a while, she regained her composure and asked, “Did you save me again?”
A few years ago, after she fell for Tara’s scheme and was awarded sixty slaps by Odell and forced to leave Westchester City, it was because she met Thomas that Aunt Tonya and her got through the crisis of poverty. He was also the one who introduced her to Simon, and with Simon’s help, Sunflower finally made her mark in the world.
