Ryan didn't think Marcus was that a good guy, and he asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Marcus hung up the phone decisively. He didn't sympathize with the woman, but he had a grandma too, which made him empathize with her.
Thinking of his grandma, he called Granny Luisa right away. Her mental state had been bad lately because of his divorce.
The housekeeper answered the phone, "Marcus, she said she doesn't want to hear your voice."
Marcus shook his head helplessly, "Tell Granny that that woman's grandma seems to be sick."
"What? You're saying Cornelia's grandma is sick?" Granny Luisa's voice came through, "When did this happen? You should've told me sooner."
Marcus didn't know how to respond. He had called her as soon as he found out.
......
Cornelia sat by her grandma's bed, quietly looking at her, her gray hair, her wrinkled and thin cheeks. Her heart ached.
A few years ago, when she left Rosenberg, her grandma looked much younger than now. In just a few years, her grandma had aged so much.
Her grandma had a pension and didn't lack money, but she still went out to tutor others at such an old age. Cornelia always thought her grandma's hard work was not just because she couldn't be idle, but also because she had an ungrateful son.
But today, when her grandma put the bank card into her hand, she suddenly realized that grandma tried to make money for her, for her to live a better life.
Thinking of all this, tears uncontrollably rolled down Cornelia's cheeks. She had no mother, and her father had already passed away, but the love her grandma gave her was never less than that of other children.
Cornelia guessed that Jeremy had told Granny Luisa about the divorce, "It's a decision between the two of us; you didn't let anyone down. Please don't blame yourself."
In her heart, Granny Luisa was like her own grandmother, both kind and gentle. She hoped Granny Luisa could be healthy and happy.
The kinder and more understanding Cornelia was, the more guilty Granny Luisa felt, "Nelly, I didn't contact you during the year after you married Jeremy, not because I didn't care about you, but because I cared too much about my relationship with your grandmother. Jeremy went to work after getting married and neglected you, not fulfilling my promise, so I was afraid to face your grandma and contact you."
Cornelia had many guesses about why Granny Luisa didn't see her back then, but she never thought it was because of this.
Her doubts were cleared, "Granny, don't worry, no matter what happens between Jeremy and me, it won't affect the relationship between my grandma and you."
Granny Luisa sighed with a heavy heart, "You're a good kid, my grandson just doesn't have good luck."
