Chapter 288Yvette spoke with genuine determmation, “Yes, once I’m home from the hospital, I’ll stay by Grandma’s side every day untilshe recoversSeeing her dedication, Rebecca and Cody felt truly gratified.Suddenly, Felix, who had been silently leaning against the wall, ared intently at Yvette without blinking. “Did you call Grandma before she got sick a couple of days ago?” Yvette’s heart leaped to her throat, but she managed to keep her expression composed and asked in confusion, “Are you talking about me, Felix? I didn’t call Grandma.” Felix’s brow furrowed. “I was passing by Grandina’s room that night, and it seemed like she was talking to you. She even promised you something.””How could it be? You must have misheard, Felix,” Yvette said, lowering her head with a mocking smile on her lips.”Felix, do you really believe I called Grandma, and that caused her to fall ill?
