When it was time to get off work, Alina called Avery saying ke had beenining to the former
about not seeing his granddaughter for a long time and asking questions about Avery''s recovery. ke
was also missing Zachary and Rory.
Recently, Avery had been busy with her own matters. And since she was still recovering back then, she
kept in touch with ke via phone and video calls.
After receiving her aunt''s call, Avery decided to visit ke after work.
She originally wanted to bring the twins along, but they were at the Moore residence, and Cayden was
on a business trip. That made things a little difficult.
Avery knew how Jeffrey would treat her. Moreover, Allie disliked the former. Avery would only be
embarrassing herself if she went over to bring the children out.
After thinking about it, she decided to visit ke alone. Hence, she asked the driver to send her to
ke''s residential area.
ke was naturally excited to see Avery. He quickly took her hand and asked her all kinds of
questions, from her recovery to where Cayden was.
He also kept asking her about Zachary and Rory, wondering if they had grown taller or had been
behaving well.
Despite how much he nagged and repeated his sentences, Avery responded to all of them patiently.
When they had finished catching up, Avery handed some medical sters to ke. “Grandpa, I know
your spine area is weak, so I bought some sters for you to try. You can use them in the morning and
in the evening. I hope they can improve your spine.”
Avery was aware of his weak spine that hurt whenever he moved a little.
However, he was old. Since every surgery had its risks, the doctor did not rmend it. Instead, ke
could relieve the pain with medicine.
Avery had been thinking of ways to improve ke''s condition during her spare time.
The medicinal sters were discovered when she overheard a conversation between two
housekeepers.
One of them had a simr but rather severe spinal condition. ording to the housekeeper, she
overworked herself when she was younger, which made her spine hurt terribly every day. After that,
she began using a special medicinal ster made by a traditional medicine practitioner.
After using it for some time, the pain was relieved greatly. In fact, her symptoms lightened, and she
could finally start working as a housekeeper.
That was how Avery got the idea of getting the housekeeper''s help to buy a few boxes of the medicinal
ster for ke to try.
Hence, she brought them along when she was visiting ke.
The old man smiled and epted it. Even though he did not expect much from the sters, he still
said lightheartedly, “You''re such a kind girl. You always think of me. Ah, looks like I didn''t raise you up
in vain. Anyway, it''s just an old sickness of mine. It won''t get better, no matter how many medicines or
injections I take. So, don''t waste your money on such things in the future. I''m old already. In fact, I''m
probably dying anytime soon. Who knows how much time I have left with all of you...”
While he was saying that, tears welled in his eyes, and his tone grew solemn.
“Grandpa, you''re only in your seventies. You look young to me. Why are you saying things like that?
You''ll definitely live a long life. Besides, I want you to witness Zach''s and Rory''s marriage.”
Avery hugged ke''s arm just like when she was a kid.
Amused, ke said, “Tsk. You''re all grown up. Why are you still so clingy like when you were young?”
Avery responded proudly, “No matter how old I am, I''ll always behave like a kid around you. I''ll stick to
you just like when I was a kid.”
ke patted his granddaughter''s head affectionately. “You''re going to be a mother soon. You can''t
continue behaving like this once you get married. Your inws don''t look like people who are easy to
get along with. If something happens in the future, just put up with it if possible. Don''t argue with them.
Of course, you can choose not to endure it and tell Cayden about it if they go too far. He looks like
someone who has opinions of his own and treats you well rather than someone who''d obey every word
his mother says. Make sure you talk to him and not endure it in silence, okay? If Cayden bullies you,
you''ve got to tell me about it. I''ll do everything in my power to make him pay.”
ke''s promise filled Avery''s heart with warmth and sorrow. She never doubted his love for her.
Avery pouted and feigned nonchnce as she said, “I know, Grandpa. Don''t worry. I''ll move out
instead of staying with the inws after marrying Cayden. That way, there''ll be less interaction and
misunderstandings. Besides, Cayden treats me well. He doesn''t bully me. In fact, it''s the other way
round.”
Relieved, ke said, “That''s good. My granddaughter is a blessed child.”
Relieved, ke said, “That''s good. My granddaughter is a blessed child.”
Avery helped him to sit down and said sweetly, “Why don''t you get some rest on the couch while I help
Aunt Alina in the kitchen? She won''t be able to handle cooking alone.”
“Are you sure? You''re pregnant, though.” ke tugged at her hand, for he disapproved of her
suggestion.
“It''s fine. The doctor says pregnant women shouldn''t stay seated. We need to get some exercise.”

When she managed to convince ke, she went to the kitchen to help out.
Avery caught a delicious aroma as soon as she entered the kitchen, and she could not help but
exim, “Aunt Alina, it smells so good!”
With the spat in her hand, Alina turned around to look at Avery and answered calmly, “I''m making
your favorite barbecue spare ribs and butter shrimp. We can dig in once I''m done with the shrimps.”
“It smells amazing. Your cooking skills have improved. I''m impressed. Let me try a piece of that.” Avery
washed her hands and sneaked a piece of the barbecue spare ribs into her mouth like a child.
The barbecue spare ribs were hot as they just came out of the oven. Avery could not help but squeal at
that realization. At that moment, she looked incredibly cheeky.
Alina pretended to click her tongue but shook her head affectionately.
She''s already a mom, yet she''s still so innocent. I wonder if it''s a good thing.
After all, Alina was once married to a wealthy family, and she knew how tough it was to be one.
Marrying into a wealthy family was like leaping into the vast ocean.
They paid great attention to rules and etiquette, especially top affluent families. Once a person entered
such a strict marriage, the rules could wipe out every single ounce of humanity in them until they
became a soulless body.
When Alina thought of her powerful and charming nephew-inw, the former could not help but wonder
if Avery was an exception.
Perhaps Avery''s one of the lucky ones to have a man like Cayden to protect and love her. I hope she
can be this innocent forever.
Just as Alina continued to stir the vegetables, she felt a warm and moist sensation flow out of her
nostrils.
Blood flowed uncontrobly out of her nostrils and spattered onto the spat, staining it red.
