Silly Bride

Chapter 183

Who is that person? I’ve never heard you mention this before. Hello? Granny, it seems like your signal is a bit weak. Could you go somewhere else to take the call? I can’t hear you.” As soon as Winnie finished her sentence, the call ended.She was about to call Jacinta back when Josiah suddenly phoned her.At once, she picked up the phone. “Is something the matter?”Josiah could almost sense how anxious Winnie was. “Are you busy? It’s nothing much. I just want to inform you that I saw your grandmother in the hospital just now. She was here alone. Did you know that?”Upon hearing that, Winnie was stunned. “I just knew about it too. Her phone’s signal was weak, so the call ended halfway. She said she was there to visit a patient, but I don’t know who exactly.”“Oh. So that’s what happened. I was right, then. I saw her pushing a female patient into the restroom just now. I wanted to say hello, but I couldn’t as they had entered the ladies restroom.”“What? Who’s the female patient? Do you know her?”“I do know her. She’s Rachel Zimmerman. I think she’s staying in the hospital because she lost a lot of blood during her abortion due to her endometrium lining being quite thin.”“Okay.” Winnie heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll go and look for her right now. Her phone is still turned off. I think she accidentally clicked on the power-off button. When you see her later, please inform her to stay put and refrain from going anywhere else.”“I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely get the job done.”After hanging up the phone, Winnie rushed to the hospital immediately.When she arrived at Rachel’s ward, Jacinta was peeling an apple for Rachel.Meanwhile, Rachel was peeling an orange. When she was done, she fed Jacinta a piece of orange. “Here. Eat some. It’s very sweet.”“Oh, it’s okay, honey. I’m not too fond of sweet things because my teeth are too weak. You should eat them instead.”When Winnie saw that, she stopped in her tracks outside the ward.The scene was too familiar to her.Many years ago, when she was still a dumb girl, her grandmother would always talk to her like that.Whenever there was good food, Winnie would always be the first person who Jacinta thought of.In fact, Winnie knew that Jacinta was lying whenever the latter said her teeth were weak and she couldn’t eat anything sweet.Granny has a sweet tooth after all. She refuses to eat because she loves me. Thus, she wanted me to have the delicacies all to myself. Initially, Winnie did not understand why Jacinta came all the way to the hospital to visit Rachel.However, it all made sense to her now.When Winnie was helping Rachel and Michael previously, she brought Jacinta with her to meet the duo. Unexpectedly, Jacinta felt bad for Rachel the moment she met her.I guess Granny was reminded of my younger self when she saw Rachel.When Winnie was about to enter the ward, Michael’s voice rang behind her.“Ms. Garland! Why are you here?”Initially,
