Her eagerness bordered on overzealousness, but it was clear her interest in Gerard wasn't inappropriate; her demeanor was just a bit overly attentive.
Gerard ignored her and sat down beside Lilah.
Justina noticed an empty spot next to Lilah on the sofa and cautiously sat down.
Gerard began discussing the day's events at the company, sounding displeased. Lilah tried to console him, but halfway through, Gerard gave her a meaningful look to signal her.
Following his gaze, Lilah saw Justina cradling her face, watching them intently, her eyes sparkling with interest.
Lilah's curiosity deepened.
At that moment, Miranda and Cason returned, bringing some food with them. Lilah, enticed by the aroma, moved closer.
"Sister, you're back, " Justina enthusiastically moved close to Miranda, her eyes shining even brighter.
Lilah watched, wondering what the young girl's intentions were.
Her attitude towards Miranda seemed oddly peculiar.
"Something happened, Gerard suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Mrs. Brenda is ill."
Lilah paused, her smile freezing on her face.
"How could that be? She was fine just a few days ago, she said.
Gerard didn't elaborate, and together with Lilah, Miranda, and Cason, they headed to the Harris Mansion.
Initially, they hadn't planned to bring Cason, but he insisted, saying that as part of Gerard's family, he should help.
"What exactly is wrong with her? Why is she fine during the day but becomes like this at night?"
They heard Richard's angry growl from the living room before they even entered.
Two doctors stood there, nervously cautious, unsure of what to say.
Mrs. Brenda's symptoms were indeed strange, resembling poisoning, which was quite puzzling.
"Auntie, how are you?" Lilah and the others entered the room.
Mrs. Brenda looked pale and bluish, her eyes clouded, and even breathing was a struggle.
She reached out to Lilah, who hurried to her side, gently holding her hand.
"I'm fine, don't worry, " Mrs. Brenda forced a smile, glancing at Gerard beside her. "Gerard, there's no need to make a fuss.
