Chapter 287: They will get to find what we had tried years to hide.

Margaret turned to look at the old lady.

And in her gaze the instruction was clear.  Brenda’s expression was serious as she stared at Margaret, shaking her head subtly at her.

It was not like she didn’t want to tell Arwen about her state.

Rather it was more like she didn’t want to ruin another beautiful part of her life, given her the worries that will only make her sad.  Her happiness has come after a long time and knowing all that Arwen had suffered, Brenda wanted her to embrace happiness rather than worries and concern.  “Aunt Margaret, I asked you something,” Arwen probed again when she saw the lady looking hesitant.

“Please tell me what’s wrong with Granna.”  Margaret paused for a moment before shaking her head.

“There is nothing to worry about,” she said, her expression serious.

“But madam is getting old and there are a few things that the doctors have suggested her to take care of.

He has even given her the medicines that she has to take every day after her meals.

But today, she is simply not ready to have her dinner.

Without having it, how can I give her the medicines?”  Arwen thought for a moment.

Even though she held the doubts, she couldn’t refuse that Margaret’s words felt plausible.

Turning to look at her grandmother, she said, “Don’t you think by refusing to have the dinner and then the medicines, you are behaving more and more like a fussy kid?”  Brenda felt relieved.

But quickly composing herself, she grunted, “Heh!

Fussy kid?

I think you should give some thought and come up with a better and decent word to refer me.”  Arwen rolled her eyes and then patted her thighs before getting up.

“I think you should now get up and have your dinner, Granna.

Or else,…” she paused before pressing her lips in a thin smile.

“…

don’t blame me for coming up with even more spoiled words for you.”  “You -”  “Aunt Margaret, we will have the dinner.

Please ask someone to serve the dishes at the dining table.” Ignoring the old woman’s reaction, Arwen spoke to Margaret, who in turn nodded to her before walking away to make the arrangements.  Once she left, Arwen turned back to look at her grandmother.

“And may I ask, why are you still sitting there, Granna?” She raised a brow.

“Come on, let’s head to the dining table now.”  In the end, Brenda said nothing more and followed Arwen.

They had their dinner together and after the dinner, Margaret gave the medicines to the old lady.

Once all that was done, Arwen stood up to leave.  But that was not before she told Granna to be more serious about it.

She even turned to look at Margaret and told her to tell her every time her grandmother didn’t listen.  “Aunt Margaret, I am sure you and certain someone know that I am just a call away.

If the fussy kid in this house creates a fuss again, just give me a call and I will come here to take care of her.”  While Brenda grumbled under her breath, Margaret smiled, nodding.

“Sure, I will do that.”  “Okay then, with that said, I will leave now.” With that, she gave a hug to her grandmother and left.

Once she was gone, Brenda’s expression turned serene.

She glanced at Margaret and frowned.  “Margaret, I told you don’t have to reveal my condition to her.

At least, not now.”  Margaret cast her gaze down.

“Madam, I didn’t mean to.

It just happened in that moment and I couldn’t control it.”  Brenda couldn’t bring herself to scold her.

She knew Margaret well enough to know that the assistant truly cared for her.

And can she scold someone for caring for her?  “I don’t want to ruin her happiness like this, Margaret.

Let her be happy,” the old lady said softly.  “Madam, you don’t have to blame yourself,” Margaret said, her brows drawing together, making her expression turn more and more serious.

“Even though Ms.

Catrin blames you, it’s just her way to shrug off the responsibility.”  Brenda paused at that.

She could hear Margaret speaking but after listening to a few words, she couldn’t bring herself to concentrate on her.

Instead, her thoughts went whirling back to the issue that was on hand.  She didn’t know how long she kept dwelling.

Her thoughts were only interrupted when she felt Margaret’s touch on her arms.  “Madam, what happened?” she asked, clearly concerned.  Brenda’s brows were drawn together, but she shook her head at her and said, “Don’t worry, I am fine.

It’s just that I don’t think things are as simple as it looks.”  Margaret didn’t understand.

Confusion became clear on her face.

But after pondering for a bit, she asked, “Madam, is it about what Dr.

Cred informed us about today?”  Brenda’s expression turned serene as she nodded.  At which Margaret quickly said, “But Madam, didn’t he say that the doctor who came looking about it was drawn towards the drug?

It can be just a case of curiosity.

After all, we all know that the drug subject was unique and can pique the curiosities of the people, especially those who are involved in the field of medicine and research.”  Brenda thought for a moment before shaking her head.

“Even if that can be the case, Margaret.

I don’t bring myself to ease at it.

My instinct is telling me that this is not something as simple as curiosity.

It’s something that goes deeper.

And we know if anyone turns to look deeper than required, they will get to find what we had tried years to hide.”  “So, what should we do now?” Margaret asked.

Her expression reflected the exact seriousness of her boss’s expression.  Brenda walked a step ahead, standing with her back towards her assistant.

“We can’t let anyone go deeper about that subject,” she said, slowly continuing, “Go and look around that doctor.

Find out what he is up to and why is he looking into that drug matter now.

Is he really looking for his own?

Or is he looking it for someone else?”
