    Chapter 986: Talking About Our Matter


    As soon as Anika entered, she walked over to the Old Mrs. Lawrence. "Grandma, are you okay?"


    Anika''s eyes were filled with concern.


    The Old Mrs. Lawrence raised her hand and gently rubbed Anika''s head. "Grandma is fine. Why did


    youe back? Who told you?"


    "I told Anika," Zane''s voice sounded from the side.


    The Old Mrs. Lawrence looked at Zane with a hint of reproach. "You''re really something. Anika is like


    this now, and you''re telling her things, making her worry for no reason."


    Anika held the Old Mrs. Lawrence''s hand and said softly, "Grandma, I''m okay now. You don''t need to


    worry about me."


    Although the fall didn''t seem to have caused any major injuries, the Old Mrs. Lawrence looked much

    older than before. She seemed to have aged instantly.


    After talking to Yanis earlier about urging her and Zane to have a child, the Old Mrs. Lawrence also


    whispered to Anika, asking her when she and Iris would make a final decision.


    Upon hearing the Old Mrs. Lawrence''s inquiry, Anika said softly, "Grandma, you know about my


    situation now. Although Iris doesn''t mind, there''s still the Duncan family and Iris''s parents to consider.


    They might not have the same mindset as Iris. We also need to consider their perspective."


    The Old Mrs. Lawrence seemed to find some reason in Anika''s words. She nced at Iris, who was


    talking to Zane and the others, before speaking softly, "Does Yanis think the same way?"


    After hearing the Old Mrs. Lawrence''s question, Yanis looked at Anika''s face and replied softly, "When


    Iris was injuredst time, I saw Iris''s parents at the hospital. Their rtionship seemed strained, but


    they cared a lot about Iris. I just don''t know how they feel about Iris''s marriage."


    Everyone knew about Anika''s situation, and there was no problem from Iris''s side. Even Olive Deere


    wouldn''t have any objections. However, no one knew for sure about Iris''s parents'' thoughts and


    personalities.


    After a moment of silence, Yanis spoke again, "Let''s talk to Iris about this when the time is right. We''ll


    see how Iris feels about it."


    With that said, Yanis looked at the Old Mrs. Lawrence. "Grandma, as long as Anika and Iris are both


    willing, the marriage can happen at any time. There''s no need to rush."


    The Old Mrs. Lawrence nodded. "The marriage doesn''t have to be rushed, but it should be nned.


    That way, I can feel at ease."


    The Old Mrs. Lawrence seemed to have left out half of what she wanted to say, but both Anika and


    Yanis understood.


    "Grandma, I''ll talk to Irister, okay?" Anika said to the Old Mrs. Lawrence.


    The Old Mrs. Lawrence responded softly, "Chat with her."


    "Yanis, let''s bring Grandma over to have dinner," Rachel called from the dining table after setting


    everything up.


    Yanis got up, pushed the wheelchair, and headed towards the dining room with the Old Mrs. Lawrence.


    "Did Sister-inw note back?" Anika walked beside Yanis and asked softly.


    Mentioning Phoebe, Yanis shook her head gently. "She''s probably busy during this time. She''lle


    back when she''s done."


    Anika whispered, "I heard about what happened before from Iris. Is Sister-inw alright?"


    "She''s fine, don''t worry," Yanis reassured her.


    Seeing that empty seat, Rachel sighed silently.


    "Why didn''t Phoebee?" the Old Mr. Lawrence suddenly paused while eating and looked at Rachel


    and Dn.


    Dn looked at the Old Mr. Lawrence and replied softly, "Phoebe was too busy with work today and


    couldn''t get away for a while. She said she''de after finishing her work, but if she couldn''t make it,


    she''lle next time."


    "Work is important, but she also needs rest. She can''t keep working like a machine all the time," the


    Old Mr. Lawrence said in a low voice.


    Dn nodded. "I know. I''ve told her that."


    "Let''s eat." After Dn replied, the Old Mr. Lawrence continued with his meal.


    During the meal, Iris noticed that Anika wasn''t very enthusiastic and asked softly, "What''s wrong? Are


    you feeling unwell?"


    Upon hearing Iris''s question, Anika shook her head gently. "It''s nothing. I''m just thinking about


    something."


    Iris helped Anika with a dish and said, "I''m worried that I talked to your dad and the Old Mr. Lawrence


    about our matter."


    When Anika heard this, she looked up in shock. "What?"


    Anika''s reaction was too intense, and she identally knocked over the fruit juice on the table.


    Iris quickly reached out, pulled Anika into his arms, and stabilized the cup. "Are you okay?"
