Dn personally drove Vanessa and Cecilia to the airport and waited for them to board the ne before leaving the airport.


    The only thing Dn could do now was to sort out the problems at his overseas branch and then go and find his love and his daughter.


    In Dorencia, Mercedes woke up in the morning and could not wait to get to the airport when she heard that her granddaughter and daughter wereing to visit her.


    -Aunty, take it easy and drink your medicine. Have you forgotten how ufortable you werest night?


    Josefina looked at the impatient Mercedes with a tearful smile and handed her the water and capsules in her hand.


    Mercedes took it, drank the medicine and hurried back to the car.


    -Yes, I’m on my way, just give me a moment.


    Josefina hadn’t seen Vanessa and Cecilia for a long time either, especially the little one, so she missed them too. When she saw that Mercedes had taken her medication, she stopped dawdling and trotted out to the car.


    In the foyer, Mercedes strolled happily.


    Murmuring about his granddaughter, whom he had not seen for a long time.


    -Hey, it’s been almost three months since I’ve seen her, and I wonder if little Candy has grown up.


    These days Mercedes has the feeling that she is running out of time and if Vanessa doesn’t bring Cecilia to see her this time, she will have to fly to Ciudad Pacifica to see them as well.


    It was a subtle sensation that no one who had not experienced it first hand could understand.


    -Ahem…


    Suddenly, Mercedes coughed violently, as if a knife was cutting incessantly and painfully inside her body. Her face turned a little whiter and her body lurched as if she was going to faint in the next second.


    He sat up suddenly and took several deep breaths, stroking his chest before calming down.


    -Hey, I’m getting old.


    The roots of his illness could not be eradicated, and although his mind had calmed down and his body seemed to have recovered a lot in thest two years, he was still going to die.


    -Aunty, the car is here,e on.


    -Come on,e on, don’t keep my good granddaughter waiting.


    Mercedes said and hurried out, showing no sign of distress.


    -Slow down, Vanessa’s ne won’tnd for another hour and a half. It’s only half an hour’s drive from here, so we’ll get there in time.


    -What if there is a traffic jam? Dorencia is a tourist town, there are a lot of cars on the road, we could get stuck.


    -Okay, okay, let’s hurry up, lest you miss out on meeting Vanessa and Candy.


    Josefinaughed yfully to cheer Mercedes up.


    She had been by Mercedes’ side all these years and the two were very close. For Josefina, Mercedes was like a mother.


    When they arrived at the airport, it was almost forty minutes before the ne was due tond.


    Josefina wanted Mercedes to wait in the car until it was almost time to leave, but Mercedes refused.


    He insisted on waiting inside the airport.


    Forty minutes was not the best waiting time, as Mercedes was always waiting for the start.


    When she finally heard the flightnd, Mercedes got up in a hurry.


    From standing so much, his head turned ck and he stumbled and almost fell.


    -Auntie!


    Josefina was surprised and rushed to help her.


    -Hey, I’m getting old. I get dizzy even after sitting for a while.


    -Slow down, your body is more important.


    said Josefina helplessly.


    Before Mercedes could take a moment, he urged her to hurry, as Vanessa and Cecilia would be leavingter.


    -Mum, Josephine.


    Vanessa rushed towards them with Cecilia in her arms, followed by the bodyguard carrying her luggage.


    -Vanessa, Candy… Oh, Grandma’s baby, let’s see if Grandma has grown up.


    Mercedes nced at Vanessa before smiling and looking at Cecilia in her arms.


    They say that one is rted from generation to generation, and it really worked with his own mother.


    Vanessa smiled helplessly and bent down to ce Cecilia on the floor and stroke the little girl’s head.


    -Grandma!Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Cecilia immediately ran to Mercedes and sweetly called out to her grandmother, hugging her leg intimately and looking at her with her little face upturned.


    -Ouch, grandma’s good boy.


    Mercedes bent down and lifted Cecilia up, kissing her small cheeks, sparingly.


    -Mum, you’re not well, don’t keep her too long. This child has put on weight in thest few months and is quite heavy to carry.


    -She’s not fat! Our Candy looks great, she’s very pretty.


    Mercedes looked a little angry, as if she would not allow anyone to talk about her granddaughter.


    -Well, well, your granddaughter is good all round.


    Vanessa said with a helpless smile.


    -That’s for sure.


    Mercedes was particrly unassuming.


    It is true that her health was not good and that she got tired of holding Cecilia for a while, but she could not let go of her, so Vanessa dared to let her hold her for a long time and hurried to take her daughter back.


    -Let’s go back, it’s not like we’ve been stuck at the airport for long.


    -Yes, yes, yes, yes, let’s go back. I heard you wereing, so I bought Candy lots of goodies and fun things to do. I think there’s a garden fair here recently, it’s very lively, let’s take Candy there tonight.


    Mercedes rambled on and on, all the talk revolving around Cecilia.


    The baby spoke very well and made Mercedesugh all the way.


    It was almost lunchtime when we arrived home.


    Mercedes wanted to cook herself, but Vanessa and Josefina dissuaded her.


    He stayed ying with Cecilia while Vanessa and Josefina went to prepare lunch.


    Lunch was very lively.


    Mercedes forgot to take her lunch break when she saw her granddaughter, and would have liked to stay with Cecilia if Vanessa hadn’t asked her to.


    -Grandma needs to rest and we’ll y together when we get up.


    -Good girl.


    Mercedes hugged Cecilia and felt she could not get enough of her.


    She wanted to linger a little longer, but suddenly felt ufortable. Worried about scaring her little granddaughter and not wanting Vanessa to find out, Mercedes restrained herself and returned to her bedroom with her usual smile.


    As she closed the door behind her, her face immediately turned white.


    Gritting his teeth, he went to bed andy down, took his medicine and closed his eyes to rest.


    This had happened before, so he didn’t mind. But who would have thought that this attack would be so severe and especially serious.


    -Candy, let’s go and see if Grandma has woken up from her nap, shall we?


    -All right.


    Cecilia’s voice was soft as she agreed.


    Vanessa smiled as she took her daughter’s hand and walked towards Mercedes’ bedroom, worried that she might wake her if she was still asleep, and they kept their steps very light.


    The door opened with a flick of the lock.


    -Candy, keep your voice down and don’t wake Grandma, okay?


    -Mmm,


    Cecilia nodded vigorously with dazed, innocent eyes.


    Vanessa smiled and carried her daughter to the bed. She was about to call Mercedes when she saw her lying there with a frown on her face and a sudden change of expression.
