Chapter 54
Imperial West Hospital.
Ashlyn was lying in bed, eyes shut.
Yvonne came rushing in, bawling her eyes out, and collapsed onto Ashlyn’s bed in a flood of tears!
“Granny, you’ve gotta save me! Grandpa says he’s gonna hand me over!”
“What’s the scoop? Your grandpa’s not lost his marbles; where’s he handing you off to?”
Yvonne pulled out the sob story she had prepped, crying her heart out.
“Granny, I’ve been pinching pennies to buy Nourishment Pills for Grandpa and Grandpa Sexton, but they say it’s no good. You’re taking Nourishment Pills yourself, Granny, you know best how awesome they are! I blew half a year’s pocket money on Nourishment Pills for Grandpa, and now he’s talking about handing me over to the Pollack family’s legal team, saying I’ve gotta do time… Granny, if I’m gone, who’s gonna look after you?”
Hearing this, Ashlyn started to panic. “Yvonne, you still got enough Nourishment Pills for me. right?”
If Yvonne got snatched by the Pollack folks, at least she wouldn’t be left high and dry without her meds!
“Yeah, you haven’t taken today’s yet, Granny. Have it now!”
With Yvonne’s help, Ashlyn took her Nourishment Pill, visibly relaxing, and with the scripture reading in the background, she began to drift off, losing focus on what was in front of her.
“Granny, you’ve gotta help me out. I’m your one and only granddaughter.”
Ashlyn, groggy, nodded along, echoing her words.
Yvonne tucked Ashlyn in with a smirk, pride written all over her face.
If Sexton got dosed with Nourishment Pills, maybe he’d start dancing to her tune just like Ashlyn!
In Marcel’s room, Calvin was holding two test papers.
“Mr. Schnabel, does your family have two Yvonnes or something? I mean, any relatives with that name?”
Marcel was stumped, putting down his chess piece.
“I got two identical test papers here, both with Yvonne’s name on them, check this out.”
“Let me see.”
On both papers, Yvonne’s name was written clear as day!
