MainNovelChapter 1103:
Alani returned just as Ethan wrapped up his call.
“Alright, I've got it,” he said before ending the call.
Dropping the takeout bags onto the table, Alani let out a sigh and began telling Ethan about the situation Gracie
had put her in.
After that, she said, “Mr. Mitchell, Gracie already brought the food to the hospital, so | ordered another set. Do
you still want to take it to the hospital with you?”
Ethan didn’t give Alani a hard time. “It’s alright. I'll take sof it with me. Gracie probably doesn’t know what
my grandmother likes to eat. Even though my mom asked for two vegetarian raviolis, | know for a fact my
grandma prefers hers stuffed with meat.”
Alani’s nerves eased a little after hearing that. Gracie had mostly picked vegetarian options from the restaurant,
trying to please Belen.
She said, “That's a relief. | got two meat dishes as well. Both are specialties at the restaurant, and honestly, they
taste amazing.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEach container had a label, so Ethan glanced over them, picked out six dishes and two servings of ravioli, and
left the rest on the table.
“Bring these over to Brenna,” he instructed. With tslipping away and Belen calling again to check if he was
on his way, Ethan couldn't stick around to deliver the food to Brenna himself.
Meanwhile, in Brenna's office, Alec stood there in his security uniform, fumbling to explain himself. He looked like
he was on the verge of tears.
Brenna sat across from Alec, her face unreadable as she listened.
“I don’t know what else to do, Brenna. I'm really asking for your help; your grandma always looked out for you
before. She's in the hospital right now, waiting for surgery, and her heart can’t handle the wait much longer. Her
blood pressure’s also high. I've already burned through everything | saved, and I still need a hundred and
seventy thousand dollars for the operation. That's the kind of money you'd spend on a dress or a purse.”
Alec’s voice was thick with desperation. When Brenna first left the Barrett family, Alec’s mother, Joann Barrett,
was still healthy. Back then, Joann couldn't bear to watch the family treat Brenna so coldly and tried to change
their minds, but nobody listened. The family just brushed her off, seeing her as a burden.
After putting up with their indifference for too long, Joann chose to move into a retirement home. She wanted
something decent, so she asked Alec to arrange for the best accommodations when the family was still wealthy.
Not wanting his mother to settle for less, Alec paid in advance for five years of premium care.
