Chapter 199 Compensating You
I quickly shook my head, smiled and said, “Grandma, they are all places to shelter from the wind and
rain, no need to take it so seriously. Besides, I used to live in the side yard often, it’s just lending it to
others for a few days, it doesn’t matter, I’m not that petty.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Carley seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, saying to Walter, “Walter, I asked
the doctor, he said we can be discharged the day after tomorrow. Then we can go home and have a
good time. Oh, we have to invite Tabatha’s mother too. These days, I’ve been wanting to apologize to
her in person. I haven’t been good to Tabatha over the years, it’s my…”
Seeing Carley about to start speaking softly again, I quickly said, “Grandma, my mom has gone to
Dracview, you don’t need to keep thinking about her. Besides, everything that happened in the past is
over, you shouldn’t dwell on it anymore.”
I didn’t know if it was because this person had gotten old or what, but I was honestly not quite used to
the always dominant Carley becoming so naggy.
Walter also advised Carley a few words, chatted for a while, and Carley soon became tired.
Seeing her fall asleep, Walter and I quietly left the sickroom. Emma and Gianna were chatting in the
living room outside. Seeing us come out, they stood up and said, “Walter, Tabatha, let’s have dinner
together later.”
Before Walter could speak, I took the initiative and said, “No, sister-in- law, I have something to do
later, so I have to leave first. We’ll get together another time when we’re free”
“Walter, my dad has ordered food from The Tasty, and we’re just waiting for you. Let’s go in a bit.” No
sooner had I finished speaking than Gianna looked at Walter with eager anticipation.
Emma thought she was being too enthusiastic towards Walter, so she tugged at her sleeve from the
side, hinting for her to tone it down. She gave me an apologetic smile and asked, “Is it something
important? If it’s not, let’s all stay together. Your older brother will be here soon, it’s rare for us all to
gather.”
I shook my head, giving a faint smile, “You guys go ahead, I can’t leave my things here.”
Seeing this, Emma didn’t insist anymore, he looked at Walter and said, “Walter, you…”
“I have something to do,” Walter began, “Sister-in-law, you guys go ahead, we’re leaving first.”
After speaking, he suddenly reached out, grabbed me, and started walking out.
Seeing him about to leave, Gianna quickly spoke up, “Walter, my dad has already made arrangements,
we’re just waiting for you. Let’s go together.”
Walter looked back at her, his gaze calm and steady, “If I don’t go over, is your dad not going to eat?”
His sudden remark caught Gianna off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless. She stared at him,
struggling to find the right words, before finally managing to stammer out, “No, we just wanted to invite
you to dinner.”
Walter pursed his lips, “I don’t need this meal. Please tell your father that the Hinton Group has limited Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
capabilities, so he shouldn’t bother ”

After speaking, he glanced at Emma, his tone softening slightly, “Sister-in-law, sorry, we’re leaving
first.”
His apology was clearly an ulterior motive.
Emma also didn’t want to continue talking too much, so he forced a smile and nodded slightly.
I was pulled out of the ward by Walter.
In the corridor, I pried his hand open and went straight to the point, “It’s not convenient for me to speak
up at grandma’s side, you find time to clarify our relationship to her.”
Just now, when Carley mentioned staying at the old house, I originally wanted to be honest with Carley
about my relationship with Walter, but he interrupted me. It seems that he had his own plans, so I didn’t
say much. That’s why I’m bringing it up now.
He didn’t directly answer my question, instead he looked at me and said, “We might not be able to talk
about grandma’s situation for now.”
I subconsciously furrowed my brows at him.
He looked at me and said, “She just recovered from a serious illness, it’s not appropriate to talk about
these things with her now.”
I pursed my lips, remaining silent.
Perhaps fearing that I might be upset, he paused before asking, “Don’t you want to live in the old
house?”
“Is this a matter of willingness?” I was speechless, took a breath and said, “It’s not about whether to live
in the old house or not, but
rather…”
“Go live by the old house.” He interrupted me, saying, “The Conner

He spoke bluntly. I paused for a moment, looking at him sideways, “Is this a condition for exchange?”
He raised an eyebrow, “Unnecessarily wasting your time, I should compensate you.”
