Chapter 76
âIt seems like my granddaughter has quite a position in the family âThe old ladyâs spirits brightened at the thought of her granddaughter and grandson inâlaw living a good life. âAlright. III follow your advice. Letâs go to Riverton.â
Her grandma agreed right away, and Cornelia was super happy inside, âGrandma. Il start arranging it right now?
âHold on, Iâve got something for you âThe old lady reached into her pocket, but found nothing. She realized she was wearing a hospital gown and looked around anxiously. âNelly, whereâs my jacket?â
âDonât worry, Grandma. Iâve already put it away âCornelia immediately handed the jacket to her.
The old lady opened the jacket and found a big patch inside. She tried to tear it off but couldnât, âNelly, help me take this patch offâ
Cornelia obediently did as she was told, and found a hidden pocket inside, where a bank card was placed.
âGrandma âCorneliaâs eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the wornâout bank card in her hand, âI can earn my own money I donât need yours I just want you to be healthyâ âSilly girl what you earn is yoursâ The old lady patted her head. This money is partly your fatherâs inheritance and partly your wedding gift from me. You should accept it.â âAlright, Grandma, Itake it âCornelia knew her grandmaâs personality, and if she didnât accept, her grandma would keep worrying about it.
She carefully put the bank card in her bag, thinking about how she could return the money to her grandma in another way.
Thats more like it âThe old lady smiled, not caring about her own illness at all
In her heart, as long as her Nelly was doing well even if she died, there was nothing to be afraid of.
As they were chatting, the old lady suddenly changed the subject and started talking about her grandsonâinâlaw, âNelly, your and Jay have been married for a year and a half now, why havenât you gotten pregnant yet?â
Cornelia was drinking water and choked on it, coughing at her grandmaâs question, âGrandma, weâre still young, we donât need to rush to have a babyâ
âJay is 28, and youâre almost 24. How can you say youâre young?â Grandma said seriously, âAlthough I trust that Granny Luisa raised a good kid, men are naturally playful. Having a baby sooner will settle him down.â
Cornelia didnât want to continue the conversation, âGrandma, itâs late. You should get some rest
The old lady asked, âAre you annoyed by my meddling or are you embarrassed about something?â
Cornelia fell silent.
She and Jeremy hadnât consummated their marriage, how could she possibly be pregnant?
She said, âGrandma, you know I got promoted less than half a year ago. Iâm always busy with my boss. How can I have a baby at this time?â
The old lady thought about it, âYou have a point. Family is important, but girls should also have their own careers and be able to make money so they have a say at home.â
Cornelia nodded vigorously, âExactly, Grandma, youâre a teacher, so you have a different perspective.
The old lady pinched her face, âYouâre flattering me now, arenât you?â
Cornelia said, âCanât I praise my amazing Grandma?â
The old lady laughed, and in fact, just having Cornelia by her side, even if she didnât do anything, would make her really happy
The grandma and granddaughter chatted for quite a while, and eventually, the old lady grew sleepy
