"E, how are you feeling here? Are you getting used to it?" Grandpa Clemens kindly inquired.
"Everything is fine, thank you, Grandpa Clemens."
E gestured slowly in signnguage, a gentle smile always adorning her pale face.
E lived up to her name, like a pure white cloud, untainted and gentle. She always had a calm demeanor, giving off a sense of kindness, gentleness, and fragility. Even with the strongest biases against her, one couldn''t bring themselves to speak harshly to her.
It felt like even speaking loudly to her would be hurting her.
"Ms. Lingston, a special breakfast for patients has been prepared for you."
Mary personally brought E her breakfast.
"Thank you, Mary." E gestured her gratitude with a smile.
"You''re wee." Mary and the other servants all liked E very much.
In their eyes, apart from her inability to speak, everything about E was fine.
Seeing everyone''s fondness for E, even Grandpa Clemens instructing Mary to prepare a special breakfast for her, Noah furrowed his brow.
"Let''s have a meal, everyone," Grandpa Clemens greeted.
"Great-grandpa, let''s eat, E, let''s eat!" Nathan and Mia both politely responded.
Noah, however, sat there, furrowing his brow, lost in thought.
Grandpa Clemens noticed his unusual mood and cautiously asked, "Noah, what''s wrong?"
"Nothing." Noah lowered his head to eat.
Grandpa Clemens didn''t say much more. He felt that Noah being able to interact with E calmly without any outbursts was already good enough. Perhaps with time, he would slowlye to ept E.
After breakfast, Grandpa Clemens, as usual, sent the three children off to school. Noah also carried his small backpack today and set off together. The school had a celebration event today, and he had to attend. On the way, Nathan and Mia yed games with Grandpa Clemens while Coco watched on the side. The family had a lively and enjoyable time.
Only Noah remained on the sidelines, sometimes going to the restroom, sometimes weakly leaning on the sofa.
"Noah,e and y with us." Grandpa Clemens coaxed Noah.
"My stomach doesn''t feel well." Noah held his stomach, his brows tightly furrowed, saying, "I probably feel unwell because I drank cold milk in the morning in my room, and now I feel really ufortable." "Did you eat something that upset your stomach?" Grandpa Clemens quickly ordered, "Quick, get Dahlia over here."
"I think I''ll head back," Noah said, clutching his stomach. "Even if Dahliaes and gives me some medicine, I''m not in the mood to attend the school anniversary today."
"Alright." Grandpa Clemens nodded, furrowing his brow. "I''ll have someone take you back, and then we''ll have Doctor Reye over to examine you. You just rest at home today." "Okay, thank you, Grandpa Clemens," Noah nodded.
Grandpa Clemens promptly arranged for a few bodyguards to escort Noah back home.
Noah quickly said, "Great-grandpa, with the school celebration today and theplex crowd, you should let them stay to protect Nathan and Mia. Just send a driver to take me back." Nathan looked deeply at Noah, a hint ofplexity shing in his eyes.
"Just a driver won''t do..."
"Great-grandpa," Nathan suddenly said, "During thest kindergarten sports day, a group of people in ck infiltrated, and they even took me and Mia away, scaring me."
"Nathan, are you talking about the chip robbery incident?" Mia recalled the event, her face turning pale with fear. "I remember, that person was so scary, he picked us up and threw us into the car, thenter ran to our house to steal things..." "Yes, thankfully, Mom and Brenda protected us."
"Yeah, he wanted to steal the chip from Coco''s stomach."
The two recounted past events to each other, growing more and more frightened as they spoke.
"Wah, Great-grandpa, I''m scared," Mia whined, hugging Grandpa Clemens tightly. "I don''t want to go to school anymore, and I don''t want to be part of the school celebration."
