Elvira felt that Leonard had changed quite a bit recently, but this wasn't the time to discuss it, so she didn't ask any questions.

Leonard dropped off something and left right away, not staying long. Perhaps he felt awkward facing Zach, uncomfortable with his own position in the family.
This self-awareness of Leonard made Elvira feel less repelled by him.
A week later, Elvira had mostly recovered and returned home to recuperate.
During this time, Zach had been by her side constantly, taking care of her every need. She barely had to walk anywhere herself, as Zach carried her wherever she needed to go.
Tracy hadn't seen Elvira during this week and felt deeply uneasy. She always felt something bad would happen. She dreamed every night of Elvira covered in blood, scaring her so much that she didn't dare to sleep. Knowing that her grandson and his wif

Grace noticed her grandmother's condition and was heartbroken. She insisted on taking Tracy to the hospital, but Tracy refused, knowing it was all caused by her worry. No medicine would work unless she saw Elvira again.
When Zach and Elvira heard that Tracy was unwell, Elvira immediately said she wanted to visit Tracy, despite her leg injury
"You're still not fully healed. I'll push you in a wheelchair and say you've been experiencing severe morning sickness lately. If Grandma finds out about your injury, she'll worry even more," Zach suggested.
After some thought, Elvira agreed. Her wound was still painful, and she feared her expression might give her away, making Tracy even more anxious. Pretending to have morning sickness seemed like a reasonable explanation for her sickly face. When the two arrived at the Gilbert mansion, Tracy was so shocked to see Elvira in a wheelchair that she stood up immediately. Worried, she walked quickly toward her and asked, "Elvira, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"Tracy, don't worry. I'm not injured. I've just been experiencing severe morning sickness lately. I throw up everything I ea and now I have no energy at all. That's why I've been using a wheelchair," Elvira explained, following Zach's plan. Hearing this, Tracy finally felt more at ease, though she still looked concerned. "Morning sickness can be so tough! If you're throwing up everything, aren't you missing out on all the nutrients? That's not good for you or the baby!" "Sometimes I feel fine after eating, but other times I can't keep anything down. There are moments when I don't want to eat at all because I'm afraid I'll throw up," Elvira said, trying to reassure Tracy and prevent her from worrying too much. "Today, I will cook for you. I guarantee you won't throw it up!" Tracy said as she headed to the kitchen.
"Tracy, you're sick. Let me handle it. I'm sure Elvira won't throw up my cooking either." Skylar quickly stopped her.
"Yes, Tracy, you're still unwell. Please rest and get better before you start cooking for me," Elvira said, not wanting to let the elderly woman overexert herself.
"Grandma, I'll cook for Elvira. You just relax. I promise she won't throw up what I make!" Grace added, feeling guilty for not being able to care for her grandmother more over the years.
Now, she wanted to seize every opportunity to show her gratitude and love.
Under everyone's persuasion, Tracy finally agreed to stay out of the kitchen. She held Elvira's hand, looking at her pale face

"I'm fine. You're the one who needs to take care of your health. I'm counting on you to help me look after the kids. I can't handle two children on my own," Elvira said, her concern for her grandmother evident.
"Alright, I'll take my medicine, listen to the doctor, and do whatever I'm told. I'll make sure I'm well enough to help you take care of the kids in the future!" Tracy perked up at the mention of looking after the great-grandchildren. The thought of seeing her great-grandchildren one day filled her with determination, and she immediately asked Anna to etch her medication.
Anna was relieved that Tracy was no longer resisting her treatment. She happily went to get the medicine.
After taking her medication, Elvira accompanied Tracy to rest, staying by her side until she fell asleep before quietly leaving
the room.
Alice ran over to her, careful not to touch her injured leg. She held her hand and asked, "Aunt Elvira, is your injury getting better?"
"I'm much better. Have you been eating well lately?" Elvira asked, gently patting Alice's fluffy little head.
"Yes, I've been eating so much every day! Anna even said I've grown taller!" Alice puffed up with pride and gestured to show how much she had grown.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Elvira gestured as well and smiled. "It does look like you've grown quite a bit. That's impressive, Alice!"
Alice giggled shyly.
At dinner, Anna woke Tracy and brought her to the table. Tracy watched Elvira eat with a worried expression, afraid she might get sick.
Elvira, who hadn't experienced any morning sickness, laughed and reassured her, "I think the atmosphere here is wonderful. Everything I eat tastes delicious, and I don't feel the least bit nauseous. You can all relax." "Really? Then you should come here to eat every day! And if you can't, I'll have meals sent to you," Tracy said, visibly delighted. Her spirits lifted, and she looked much healthier as if she would soon fully recover. The whole family was happy, with cheerful laughter filling the room. Just then, the butler entered and announced that Samuel had arrived, alone this time, saying he wanted to see Grace. Grace/swallowed her food and frowned. "See me? Why would he want to see me? Doesn't he already have a daughter? I don't
want to see him!"
She hadn't forgotten the way he abandoned her back then, choosing to hold Mandy and claiming her as his only daughter. Grace scoffed disdainfully.
Tracy was also displeased and said, "Tell him to go away and not disturb our family's atmosphere!"
The butler followed their instructions.
When Samuel heard that even his own mother wouldn't let him in, he was livid. "Did you tell her it's just me? I can't come in by myself?"

"Mr. Gilbert, I did tell her, and she also asked me to remind you not to come again in the future, as your presence disturbs the family atmosphere. Please leave," the butler replied coldly before walking away.
Samuel stood there, stunned. He couldn't believe his mother refused to see him, even when he came alone. He had always thought she just didn't want to see Helen and her children.
Now he realized Tracy didn't even want to see him. His face fell, a hint of desolation appearing.
He had always believed that if he persisted, Tracy would eventually accept Helen and their children, allowing them to come back as a family. But now, he knew he had been completely wrong. To his mother, he no longer mattered.
