Marisa and Selena were just as stunned.

They quickly called out, "Mrs. Horton! Mrs. Horton!"

Keira and Lewis rushed over. Without a word, Lewis pushed them aside, his hands trembling as he reached out to check if his grandma was still breathing. He hesitated, fear creeping into his eyes. His fingers shook, and even his eyes reddened with the effort to hold back tears.

Just when everything seemed to blur around him, a steadying voice broke through, "She's okay."

It snapped him back to reality. He turned to see Keira holding old Mrs. Horton's wrist, checking her pulse. Clearly, she had sensed the pulse immediately and spoke up to ease his worry.

Lewis let out a relieved breath, finally daring to place his hand under old Mrs. Horton's nose. Feeling her faint breath, he relaxed.

Keira spoke up again, "She just fainted. It's normal. She's too weak right now."

After saying that, she withdrew her hand.

Lewis gently picked up his grandmother and carried her to the bedroom. Kneeling by her bedside, he pressed her frail hand against his face.

Keira didn't say anything and just silently stayed by his side.

Marisa and Selena didn't dare leave either and stood guard nearby. Soon, Oliver and Nathan arrived after hearing the news.

Oliver kept his composure, but Nathan's eyes were red as he looked at their aging mother.

After what seemed like an eternity, old Mrs. Horton finally opened her eyes.
