Allison came from an ordinary family. Even though she had enjoyed a life of comfort for more than half of her life, she, like other ordinary elderly people, enjoyed being with children and cooking. She would even knit scarves for the younger ones once in a while.
Despite the undercurrents among the younger members of the Fuller family, there was great respect for Allison.
As Lenora changed her shoes, she asked the housekeeper, “Where’s Grandpa?”
The housekeeper pointed upstairs, “He’s resting, Old Mr. Fuller’s spirits haven’t been great lately.”
Upon hearing this, Lenora and Zachary both showed expressions of concern.
The Fuller family’s business had been passed down to Gerald by the generation before him, but it truly thrived under Gerald’s leadership. In his youth, he had suffered injuries at work, and as he aged, his health had been consistently poor. Moreover, he had undergone a liver transplant and had been on immunosuppressive medications.
“What did Dr. Landon say?” Zachary asked.
The doctor Zachary spoke of was the director of Mercy Hospital, who also served as Gerald’s personal physician.
“He can only do his best,” came the response.
Zachary nodded solemnly.
Lenora went to the kitchen to assist Allison.
“Nora, go outside and take a break. No need to help me; I can manage on my own,” Allison. insisted, shooing Lenora away.
Lenora protested, “Grandma, I’m just sitting outside with nothing to do. I might as well help
you.
Allison disapproved, giving her a stern look. “How can you say you have nothing to do? Sit outside and talk to Zack.”
