    Over in another ward.


    Marissa woke up from aa, her head throbbing. She blinked hard and took a look around, finally


    recognizing her husband and Veronica by her side.


    Seeing her grandma awake, Veronica tightly held her hand, her eyes welling up with tears, “Grandma,


    you finally woke up! You passed out all of a sudden. It scared the heck out of me and Grandpal”


    Although Putnam felt relieved, he frowned and said in a harsh tone, “I told you not toe to the


    hospital, but you insisted oning. And what happened? You just caused more trouble!”


    Marissa ignored her husband’s words. She may have forgotten why she passed out, but she still


    remembered why she came to the hospital. She quickly sat up and grabbed Veronica’s hand,


    “Veronica, how’s Ellinor? And the baby in her belly, how’s the little one?”


    Veronica’s face fell, unsure of how to answer her grandma’s question. She was afraid that the truth


    would upset her grandma again, so she helplessly looked at her grandpa.


    Putnam knew what his granddaughter was worried about: He grunted and didn’t answer directly,


    “Waking up and worrying about others right away, you should care about yourself first!”


    Marissa wasn’t easily fooled. She shook her head, “I’m fine, just a little dizzy! Now tell me, how are


    Ellinor and the baby in her belly? They’re okay, right?”


    Veronica fell silent.


    Although Putnam was sitting in a wheelchair, his arms were long enough to push Marissa back onto the


    bed, “All right, all right! You’re still very weak, Stop worrying about others! Let’s wait for the doctor toTêxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    check your blood pressure and heart, then we can go home and discuss other things.”


    Marissa frowned and sat up again, “I know my own body, I’m fine! Besides, how can you consider


    Ellinor as ‘others‘? She’s Theo’s wife, carrying a nchet family baby in her belly! How can I not


    worry?“.


    Putnam frowned, deliberately raising his voice, “How do you know the baby in her belly is ours? I heard


    she left the nchet family for a while before we came back and got pregnant not long after. Who can


    be sure whose baby it is? Veronica, right?”


    Hearing her grandpa’s question, Veronica was stunned. She never doubted the baby in Ellinor’s belly


    was her brother’s, but her grandpa was saying this on purpose to mislead her grandma so she wouldn’t


    be so sad.


    Veronica understood her grandpa’s intention, but she didn’t want to tarnish the reputation of thete


    Ellinor until her grandpa cleared his throat and red at her.


    “Uh… Grandma, Ellinor did leave my brother for a while… and she seems to be pretty popr…”


    Finally, for her grandma’s sake, she had to go along with her grandpa.


    With his granddaughter’s cooperation, Putnam continued, “See! Even Veronica knows there are plenty


    of people around Ellinor. Who knows what she did in the month she left Theo? You can’t always judge


    a book by its cover, and I think you shouldn’t trust Ellinor too much. We can find another wife for Theo.


    There are many women willing to have Theo’s baby! We’re not in a hurry for a baby!”


    After Putnam finished speaking, Marissa’s brows furrowed deeper. As if she understood something,


    she demanded, “Both of you, tell me the truth. What happened to Ellinor?”


    Veronica thought to herself.


    It seemed Grandpa’s words didn’t work. They couldn’t fool Grandma!


    Putnam sighed helplessly and tried to persuade Marissa again, “Even if something happened to her, it


    has nothing to do with our family. After all, she and Theo were never officially married. She’s not a


    formal daughter–inw of the nchet family! Don’t take it too seriously!”
