Chapter 327 A Sense Of Misgiving
Nova halted at his voice, wearing an innocent look on her face.
It was such a coincidence at that time Kelly was pushed out by Cassie since she felt something was amiss.
“Hi, Mr. King.” Nova turned on his heel and greeted Henry with a smile.
Kelly ran across them on the corner as she got out of the box, she then motioned for Cassie to stop.
Nova was obviously wondering about Henry’s act and ice–cold eyes, which could be told from her knitted eyebrows.
“Granny hasn’t got a wink of sleep for two days.”
“What’s wrong with her?!” The doubts in Nova’s eyes suddenly turned into worries.
“Of course, it’s because of you!” Henry said in a rather low tone, maybe the tone was icy, instead of low to sound.
Her face grew pale with concern. “How could it be? What the hell with it?”
“Come back with me tonight then you will see.” He was always sparing with his words.
Nova fell silent with her eyebrows deeply ceased.
As for Kelly, whose face crumpled up terribly right off the bat when she witnessed the scene.
Why? Why did Henry ask Nova to go back to the King’s Mansion?
If Mabel is ill, why not go to the doctor? Why do they want Nova?!
No matter how much Mabel liked her, she could not be a part of the King’s, let alone reigniting with Henry! Why doesn’t she just get it?
How could Henry get rid of Nova once and for all?! Kelly chewed on her lip and stared at them with a look of pure venom.
Kelly was so absorbed in her vicious curse that as soon as she gathered her wits she saw Nova walking toward her. In a hurry, she assumed an amiable expression. But Nova didn’t even look at Kelly as she passed her.
Since her attention was focused on the call she was dialing.
The call was answered soon.
“Is that Nova?” Mabel’s voice was rather haggard, and gracious in Nova’s ears.
“Yeah, it’s me, grandma. How have you been? Why can’t you sleep well?” Nova hastened to ask.
“No, I’m doing well with my condition. It’s nonsense to say I can’t sleep well. I’m sound asleep every night!”
Nova frowned at the answer but said nothing, apparently, she didn’t believe what Mabel said.
“How are doing recently, my little girl?” Mabel continued in her usual way of speaking with Nova, optimistic and affable. “Did you miss me? I miss you so much all the time my sweet.”
“Of course, I do, grandma, I think about you every day. So please take care of yourself, ok? I’m going to visit you tonight.”
“Tonight?” Mabel’s voice sounded slightly nervous. “Honey, not tonight.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Why? Grandma, why can’t I come tonight?” Nova asked with doubt. Is tonight not convenient?
Before Nova could fathom what the reason was, Mabel spoke again. “I prefer another day honey, today is late and there is not much time for us since you are absolutely not going to stay overnight here. I know you well. And I think tomorrow is good since it’s the weekend and you don’t have to work. So why not just come to visit me tomorrow? I’m looking forward to it!”
“But I’ve learned that you’re ill…“\
“Don’t fuss, I’m as fit as a fiddle now! They are talking nonsense.”
“Grandma…
Nova couldn’t finish her words because Mabel interjected. “Don’t you trust what I say? Or you just don’t care what I say?” She was saying in
a pretty grouchy way, but Nova could tell that she was pretending.
“Of course not, grandma, I believe you, I just care about you…”
“Then why not do as I say if you say you are not? Nova, trust me, I’m good in all aspects, not to mention that there are countless excellent
family doctors here, and they will surely take care of me. My dear girl, you can just rest assured. It’s no use coming. Mabel said as if she
was resigned to her fate.
Nova frowned even more with a stronger sense of misgiving.
Chapter 327 A Sense Of Misgiving
She was at a loss for what to do since Mabel’s words sounded too authentic to query.
Nova managed to choke down her worry, as she was going to speak again, Mabel’s voice was delivered once. “Dear, I have to go to bed now, it’s too late. Let’s just meet tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Nova had to agree then
“Well, as you like, grandma, I’ll see you tomorrow. Have a good night!” Nova sighed heavily, but low enough for Mabel to not hear. It seemed that she couldn’t get an answer from grandma.
