Chapter 43

Mary said lovingly, "Go on." With that, Celine left. When Adam arrived by the bed, Mary scolded, "Why did you come back? Get out now!" Smiling, Adam apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Grandma." His apology calmed Mary a little. "I don't need your apology. It's Celine whom you should be apologizing to!" "That's right, Mr. Alvarez. You carried Carly and just walked away. It was Mrs. Alvarez who took care of Mrs. Alvarez Senior when she fainted. Who exactly is the grandchild here?" Alfred commented with dissatisfaction. Adam was speechless. "You even pushed Celine and made her bump into the table," Mary added. "Did you think she wasn't in pain just because she kept quiet?" "Mr. Alvarez, you need to have some conscience. You can't bully Mrs. Alvarez like that!" Alfred exclaimed. Both Mary and Alfred took turns criticizing Adam, leaving him lost for words. Glancing in the direction where Celine left, Adam said, "Grandma, since you're fine, I'll go to my room." He turned and left.
