Keira clenched her jaw, feeling utterly anxious.
Just as she was about to leave, Mrs. Olsen sent her a WhatsApp message. “There’s no rush. Are you working this Saturday? I’d like to buy you lunch.”
Only then did Keira understand that her concern had made her anxious.
Lunch at the Olsen’s?
A bitter smile crept onto her lips.
Ten years ago, when she moved out of the Olsen residence, she went back the first weekend.
She entered the backyard and watched through the glass window as Mrs. Olsen, Isla, and Taylor Olsen laughed and chatted. The joyous smile on Mrs. Olsen’s face was one she’d never seen before.
Poppy said, “Do you see that? Without you around, they are a real family of three. If you really care about Mrs. Olsen, you shouldn’t stay away from her.”
Eventually, Keira left quietly.
She only returned on Mrs. Olsen’s birthday each year, leaving a small gift at the doorstep…
After so many years, it was probably time to see her again, right?
Keira responded to the message. “I should be the one buying. Let’s meet this Saturday at 6 pm. See you there.”
She sent over the location of a restaurant.
Visiting the Olsen house could cause unnecessary disputes. It would be better to meet outside, where she could have a quiet chat with Mrs. Olsen, and check on her health…
Mrs. Olsen said, “Alright, see you then.”
After ending the chat with Mrs. Olsen, Keira saw several new messages from “Grandson”.
“As my grandmother ages, she’s becoming more like a child with a hot temperament. You need a lot of patience.
“She has trouble sleeping. Her nights are restless.
“She needs to take two blue pills a day, one in the morning and one at night…”
There were five messages in total, the last one read,
“The above is forwarded from our family doctor’s instructions. I’m grateful for your help. If Granny doesn’t feel well, please contact me immediately.”
this, Keira quietly entered the bedroom and sent a short video
