Chapter 717

“I’m just anxious about Nelly. I worry she won’t be able to handle it if I’m not around.” Everyone wanted to stick around for a bit longer, and Granny Rebecca was no exception. But she was more concerned about her only granddaughter, Cornelia, than her own mortality.

“The doctors have told you that you’re getting better by the day. Don’t overthink it. A positive attitude can do wonders for your recovery. And as for Nelly…” Granny Luisa gripped Granny Rebecca’s hand tightly, giving it a few comforting pats. “Hypothetically speaking, if something were to happen, we’re all here for Nelly. We’d never abandon her. She’s never alone. She has you, us, and Marc.”

Voicing her worries lightened Granny Rebecca’s heart. “I’ll have to count on you to look after Nelly. She’s had a tough life, lost her parents when she was just a kid. I really hope her marriage can bring her happiness.”

Granny Luisa replied, “I’m on it, don’t you worry.”

“Hey, grannies, weren’t we supposed to be helping my brother and Cornelia make a baby tonight? What’s all this chit–chat about?” Briana walked into the dining room, spouting a stream of words.

Granny Luisa replied, “We’re all set here. What about you?”

Briana said, “You can trust me to handle things.”

Granny Luisa countered, “It’s precisely because you’re handling things that I’m worried.”

Briana threatened, “If you keep bashing me, Granny, I’m quitting the baby–making squad.”

Granny Luisa calmed her, “Alright, alright. I trust you. Now, tell us what you’ve been up to.”

Briana said, “I’ve got two recorders ready. One for their bathroom, one for under their mattress. We’ll know whether they’ve been getting busy by tomorrow when I retrieve the recorders.”

Granny Rebecca voiced concern, “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

Granny Luisa reassured her, “No biggie. We’re just checking if they’ve had sex. Once we confirm, we’ll stop listening and delete everything.”

Briana giggled, “I might keep it to use as blackmail against my brother.“.

Granny Luisa warned her, “If your brother finds out you’ve been recording his private moments with his wife, not even I can save you. And you dare to use it to blackmail him?”

Briana quickly backtracked, “I was just kidding, I wouldn’t dare.”

The thought of what Marcus would do if he found out sent a chill down Briana’s spine.

Granny Luisa said, “Just keep an eye on your brother and Cornelia. Once Cornelia is pregnant, you can have whatever you want.”

Briana replied, “Granny, it’s my brother’s job to get Cornelia pregnant, not ours. If she’s not showing any signs, there must be something wrong with them. I think we should suggest they get checked out.”

Briana wasn’t sure if Granny Luisa would get the hint.

If Granny did, and got Marcus to seek treatment, there was still hope for a niece. If she didn’t, no matter what they did, they couldn’t fix the root of the problem. She wondered if she would ever get to meet her niece in this lifetime.

Granny Luisa replied, “You’re such a troublemaker, Briana. They’ve just started dating. Cornelia can’t possibly be pregnant so soon. You don’t have to worry about anything else, just help me keep an eye on them. Once Cornelia is pregnant, I’ll give you anything you want.”

Briana said, “I want a black card like Cornelia’s.”

Granny Luisa promised, “Once I hold my great–grandchild, not only will I give you a black diamond card, but I’ll also gift you a building in Riverton CBD.”

Briana said, “Deal!”

The thought of having a black card with no spending limit and owning a building in Riverton CBD had Briana grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Outside, Cornelia overheard their conversation and left. She hurried upstairs and opened her room door.
