Chapter 518: Chapter 518

Auntie Ann knows that Caleb Lancaster is a trauma in Old Madam Lancaster’s heart, and now mentioning him has stirred up emotions again.

Usually, Old Madam Lancaster wouldn’t bring it up herself, and even if outsiders ask, she wouldn’t say much.

Unexpectedly, she became so willing to talk about it in front of Nina Sinclair.

"Grandma, don’t be sad," Nina Sinclair reached out and gently patted Old Madam Lancaster’s back, offering soft comfort.

Nina Sinclair’s gentle voice seemed to have the ability to soothe hearts; under her consolation, Old Madam Lancaster’s emotions gradually calmed down.

Since it was already mentioned, Old Madam Lancaster continued without reservation: "His fourth uncle is extremely talented, but had an accident when he was young and became comatose, lying in a hospital bed for many years. He’s now receiving treatment abroad. Doctors say there’s no chance of waking after more than ten years of being comatose..."

This lifetime might be all there is for Caleb Lancaster.

Even so, Old Madam Lancaster is still reluctant to give up; they’re willing to spend money to keep him alive, praying he might wake someday.

Although the probability is very slim.

Nina Sinclair didn’t know the Lancaster Family had a comatose member too; her own mother has been comatose for years, so she deeply understands Old Madam Lancaster’s feelings.

She murmured, "Grandma, there’s a comatose person in my family too, I can empathize with your pain. They will wake up one day!"

Upon hearing Nina Sinclair’s words, Old Madam Lancaster smiled and said, "Many people have said that to me, but none bring me the comfort that your words do, Nina. I also believe the old fourth will wake up."

It’s unclear why Old Madam Lancaster likes Nina Sinclair so much.

Her words are more comforting to her than others, making her feel more at ease.

Old Madam Lancaster didn’t dwell on Caleb anymore. She continued, "There’s also the old fifth, who’s rarely home, and his daughter Monica is studying abroad. She won’t graduate and return for another couple of years."

Nina Sinclair nodded, surprised she has a cousin-in-law.

Now she finally understands the slightly helpless expression Julian Lancaster had when he mentioned there are many family members.

Never imagined Grandma Lancaster had so many children, yet none visit her and Grandfather Lancaster. They’re really heartless.

But it’s alright; they still have her and Julian.

Nina Sinclair smiled, patting her chest in assurance, "Grandma, Julian and I will visit often."

"Nina, you’re such a good child," Old Madam Lancaster gazed at her with a smile, affirming her perception was correct.

"Grandma, let me cook for you and Grandpa tonight."

"Then your grandpa and I will eagerly await tasting your cooking."

The daughters of the Lancaster Family are all pampered ladies who never cook, let alone do so for Old Madam Lancaster. So hearing Nina Sinclair say she’d cook, Old Madam Lancaster felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity.

In fact, Nina Sinclair realized that Old Madam Lancaster and Old Master Lancaster usually lead lonely lives, likely eating very simple meals.

Preparing a meal now, adding some liveliness, might make them happier.

Following that, Old Madam Lancaster tagged along behind Nina Sinclair, watching her pick the freshest ingredients and skillfully haggle with vendors.

These aren’t traits you would expect to see in a refined young lady from a prestigious family, yet the girl before her felt full of vitality, truly special.

No wonder Julian Lancaster likes her; Nina Sinclair indeed is a lovely girl.

Actually, Old Madam Lancaster didn’t know Nina Sinclair was once the kind of young lady she perceived her to be, but life taught her many things that added traits that typical privileged daughters don’t possess.

"Okay, Grandma, let’s head back."

Finally, the three of them returned triumphantly, carrying several large bags full of items.
