Chapter 120
“I’ll thank Dr. Johnson for that. I hope I can recuperate, I agreed.
At 8:30 pan., after my infusion. Quinn went to the emergency pharmacy to collect the medicine.
The doctor in the emergency department had prescribed me a lot of medicinal herbs to treat my menstrual pain and reminded me to try George’s traditional medicine treatment plan
After thanking Quinn, I drove home. When we got home, the caregiver told us that Benedict was asleep.
I leaned against the sofa. Quinn was preparing the traditional medicine for me to take before bed. He was also seriously checking the usage of the medicine sticker. When he was applying the ointment to my lower abdomen, he suddenly mentioned the burial of Mary’s ashes.
“Grandma will be buried tomorrow, right?” Quinn looked at me and asked.
I nodded. “Right
Quinn said. “Coincidentally, you need to rest too. I’ve already informed the company. I’ll accompany you to Sea City
tomorrow.
I knew that Quinn had good intentions, but I couldn’t help but worry that if he met York, there would be another storm. So I racked my brains to find a reason to tactfully refuse.
The Lee family in Sea City was Shirley’s maiden family. When the time came. Quinn would probably face even more difficulties. After all, with York’s personality, he would definitely reveal his prejudice against Quinn.
However, before I could find a suitable excuse, Quinn’s phone suddenly rang. At this moment, his phone was placed on the
coffee table.
“I’m holding the medicine sticker in my hand. Please pass me my phone,” Quinn said.
“Okay.” When I reached for the phone and handed it to Quinn, realized that the caller was George. It was almost ten at night. Why was George calling?
While I was curious, I heard Quinn pick up the call. “George, what’s wrong?”
I didn’t know what George said, but Quinn’s expression suddenly changed, and the medicine sticker in his hand fell to the floor.
“What’s wrong?” I sensed that his expression was too abnormal. Is something wrong?”
Quinn had already hung up on George. He hurriedly went to get his coat and changed his shoes. He said to me, “Something urgent happened at the last minute. Have a good rest. I’ll explain it to you when I come back”
Before I could answer, Quinn had already closed the door and left with the car keys.
I was stunned. I couldn’t understand what was so urgent between Quinn and George. At 11:30 pm, Quinn was still not back.
Just as I was hesitating if I should call Quinn, I recalled his eyes when he answered the call. They were filled with worry and shock Something must have happened to George. After all, he had just returned from overseas.
Remembering that I interrupted Quinn and George’s meal tonight. I gave up contacting Quinn.
When I woke up the next day, the maid found the medicine I brought back and asked me if I should take it before or after the meal. She even said that Quinn did not come back last night

I was surprised. “Did he not come back all night?”
“Mrs. Madden, did you not know?” The maid was also confused. “I woke up at five and wanted to prepare breakfast to buy ingredients. I realized that Mr. Madden’s car wasn’t at home. Usually, even if he went to work, he would only go out at seven.”
Only then did I realize that Quinm had not returned for the night.
“Alright, I understand.” I instructed the maid to prepare breakfast before turning around to call Quinn. His phone was
turned off.
At this moment, the caregiver came out with Benedict. I didn’t have time to think too much and accompanied Benedict to wash up.
During breakfast,
York called me. “Grandma’s ashes are going to be buried today. Mom was afraid that it wouldn’t be safe for you to drive here yourself, so she asked me to pick you up personally.” York explained. I’m outside your house now. Come out directly.”
“Are you already here?” I was shocked.
Before I could ask further, York had already hung up.
When I packed up and went out, I instructed the caregiver to take good care of Benedict.
This time, I didn’t plan to bring Benedict to the Lee family in Sea City. Firstly, I was worried that Benedict was still young and wouldn’t be used to going to unfamiliar places.
Secondly, many people from the Smith family would be going this time. Shirley’s attitude toward Ben had already taken a turn for the worse. There would definitely be a lot of friction between adults. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to take care of Benedict.
The caregiver said to me, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Madden. I’ll take good care of Benedict
“Thank you,” I said goodbye to the caregiver. After walking out of the door, I saw York’s car.
On the way to Sea City, I asked York, “How’s Mom these days?”
“Same as always. Loss of appetite, bad appetite. Always prefers to be alone.” York said helplessly and with heartache, “Mom cried a few times without saying anything. I don’t know how to persuade her. When you see Mom today, comfort her. After all, she will listen to what say.”
you
I replied, “I will.”
York reminded me, “By the way, Dad will be bringing the Smith family’s relatives over today. I’ll try my best not to let him get too close to Mom.”
Previously, Shirley had gone to the Lee family in Sea City without informing Ben. When Ben found out, he was a liule unhappy. He called Shirley to ask, but Shirley hung up.
It was said that Ben still drove to Sea City to accompany Shirley in the end, the Lee family refused to let Ben in.
York had mentioned these things to me on the phone before.
I frowned and fell silent for a long time. I couldn’t describe the feeling in my heart. Then, who are the relatives of the Smith family?” I asked York.
Ever since I returned to the Smith family, I rarely interacted with the relatives. Occasionally, when I met thent, we would only exchange pleasantries. Until now, I still couldn’t recognize some people.
“They’re all direct relatives and friends of the Smith family. I’ll take care of them. You just need to take care of Mom,” York

instructed.
Putting aside my prejudices in the past, York’s performance made me feel much more at ease.
When the car arrived at the Lee family in Sea City, I saw Shirley at first glance through the crowd. She had lost a lot of weight. She was wearing a long black dress and had a white hair clip on her sideburns. Her expression was cold and sad.
