MainNovelChapter 1105:
Alec stepped in with a polite nod toward Ethan, saying, “I heard your grandmother's in the hospital, too. Older
people really do need a little extra care when they're ill.”
Ethan offered nothing more than a nod. Memories of how Alec had treated Brenna before kept any warmth at
bay.
He then said to Brenna, “If you need a recommendation, | know sof the best doctors here.”
Brenna declined politely, saying, “Letsee how she’s doing first.” With that, she and Alec stepped out of the
elevator and headed down the hall.
No sooner had they neared Brenna’s grandmother’s room than a commotion reached their ears—a child wailing,
a woman shouting, and a crowd blocking the doorway.
A sinking feeling hit Alec as he recognized the door number; it was his mother’s room. He had left Lila and their
son to keep his mother company, and now, something had clearly happened.
He surged forward, his face clouding with dread, and began pushing his way through the onlookers.
“Excuse me, please,” he muttered, squeezing past.
Inside, the scene was chaotic. Lila stood near the bed, their little boy sobbing uncontrollably, his white hoodie

uneaten shrimp.
Lila, her voice sharp with fury, jabbed an accusatory finger toward the frail woman lying in bed. “How can you be
so selfish? Those meals cost a fortune, and you're actually fighting with a child for food? Have you no shame?
Did you forget | had to cancel his tutoring just to cover your hospital bills?”
Anger boiling over, Alec grabbed Lila’s arm. “What's gotten into you? That's my mother! She's sick; how could
you talk to her that way?”
Lila snapped, her voice rising. “Why can't | talk to her that way? | feed her and pay for her treatment. | have to
save her life. What's wrong withsaying a few harsh words to her?”
On the bed, Alec’s mother was crying, her tears soaking the pillow, looking pitiful.
A moment later, Brenna entered the room. The sight of her once-loving grandmother reduced to tears cut
straight to her heart.

She knew her grandmother had always been kind to others and never gotten into arguments with anyone. Even
when Ruby was her son’s wife, she had never spoken a harsh word to her and had always remained courteous.
Seeing Lila’s unreasonable and arrogant behavior, Brenna felt Lila was clearly at fault.
Steeling herself, Brenna spoke in an even tone. “What's going on here?”
The instant Lila recognized Brenna, surprise flashed in her eyes.
She knew Brenna was now from the powerful Harper family, and Alec often mentioned Brenna at home,
regretting his poor treatment of her before.
