You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Gloria’s surgery went well.

Clarissa accompanied Catherine and they waited for the surgery to be over together. Only after that were they really relieved.

Gloria was still asleep in the ward after the surgery. Catherine seemed to have unwound a lot and wasn’t as anguished as she had been since her eyebrows were no longer knitted together like they used to be in the past few days.

Clarissa felt bad for her grandma but she knew very well that nothing she said would help ease her anxiety.

Now that Gloria’s surgery was a success, what was left to be done was for her to rest and recuperate and everything would become better.

“Grandma, you’ve been keeping her company long enough today. The operation went well. Let’s go back to rest first.”

As Clarissa persuaded her, Catherine nodded in agreement.

However, when they were leaving and Mimi came out to see them off, she couldn’t hold it any longer and made a request.

“Clare, I know I should be embarrassed to say this but I have no other choice either. I’m preparing for examinations recently and it’s a critical period while my dad has to work to earn a living. We don’t have much money left and no one has the time to take care of Mom after her surgery. Clare, I’m asking for your help to find a caretaker to look after my mom for a while. Will you, please?”

Embarrassed?

Does she really feel embarrassed?

Clarissa replied placidly, “Hiring a caretaker costs a great deal. Are you sure about this?”

Mimi’s lips twitched. She was expecting Clarissa to help pay the caretaker’s salary which was the only reason she was asking her to help.

Nevertheless, Clarissa was no longer someone that they could afford to offend. She has already been upset when Mom was shooting her mouth off last time. Thus, Mimi didn’t dare to be too outspoken.

Awkward and embarrassed, she answered, “Forget it, Clare. I’ll spare some time to look after my mom and if she couldn’t manage herself, we can only leave it to the nurse.”

Clarissa had the heart to turn her down but Catherine couldn’t bear to see such a pitiful scene.

Catherine finally started, “Let me take care of your mom. It’s not that I can’t move. Hiring a caretaker is costly and I can come and help for a few days until your mom is able to manage herself.”

“Grandma, how can that be?”

Mimi’s expression was very sincere.

And when she turned to Clarissa, there was a pleading look on her face. Despite that, Clarissa knew all too well what was actually running in her mind.

She knew very well that I would help even though I was reluctant. And she’s taking advantage of that.

Perhaps Mimi might even be complacent about this.

Clarissa smiled and said, “Grandma, there’s no need for you to do that personally. Let’s hire a caretaker if that’s what they want. We’ll go by the old rule—— you have to write me an IOU.”

Catherine nodded. “Okay. Let them give you an IOU.”
