NovelBookChapter 1100:
With the conversation at a dead end, Gracie’s spirits took a dive. Still, she understood she had no real power to
argue her case.
Just then, her phone buzzed. She glanced down to see Elsa’s nflashing on the screen. After answering the
video call, she made sure Ethan was also visible on camera.
Ethan, uninterested in chatting with Elsa, quietly returned to his desk.
Gracie put on a joyful expression and said, “Hi, Mrs. Mitchell! How's your mother doing today?”
Elsa was by Belen’s side in the hospital room, looking after her as she recovered from a painful pelvic injury that
left her unable to sit up. Gently, she helped Belen eat.
Spotting Ethan in the background, Belen called out, “Ethan, why haven't you visitedrecently?”
Sickness had left Belen feeling even more delicate than usual, and her patience for Ethan's packed schedule had
worn thin.
Ethan set aside his work and walked over. “Grandma, I'll stop by after I'm done here, probably around noon. Is
there anything special you'd like for lunch? I'll bring it to you.”
Belen’s mood brightened right away. “That's what | wanted to hear! Could you pick up two orders of pasta from
my favorite restaurant for me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthan let out a soft laugh. “Of course, Grandma. | will make sure to bring it to you. Take care.”
Elsa fixed Ethan with a pointed look. “Are you ready to leave already? You barely spoke with your grandmother.
Are you really that busy? Don’t even think about leaving yet. Look at Gracie; she was here all day yesterday,
keeping your grandmother entertained. And here you are, her own grandson, acting like your job is all that
matters. Tell me, does making money really cbefore your family in your eyes?”
Elsa made a show of praising Gracie, hoping Ethan would finally notice the patience and warmth Gracie showed
his family—qualities she thought made Gracie an ideal partner.
Ethan barely gave it any thought. It never occurred to him that Gracie had chosen to help out of kindness for
Elsa and Belen. In his mind, he believed his mother had simply pressured Gracie into going to the hospital.
“Mom, Gracie’s got her own responsibilities. She’s a vice president here, not part of our family. Why did you drag
her to the hospital? She's got enough on her plate,” Ethan replied, his voice steady but with a trace of criticism.

Gracie quickly said, “Oh, | went there because | wanted to. Your grandmother has been feeling down, and | just
wanted to keep her company. When my dad was ill, | did the sthing for him, so | know how much it helps.
Honestly, your mother and grandmother are like family tonow. It’s really no trouble at all, Ethan. I'll go spend
twith your grandmother since I'm not swamped with work at the moment.”
