As the boss left the room, the grandmothers shifted their gaze onto Yigol Novak, curiously asking.
“Novak, have you always wanted to invest in their business?”
Considering that they’ve already reached this extent, Yigol couldn’t conceal anything from them. He nodded immediately.
“Yes, we’ve had our eyes on this business for a while now.” While sipping her drink, Suri Drew suddenly spoke up. “Though, we didn’t expect they would engage in such actions.”
Everything that happened today really upset her internally.
Under these circumstances, she naturally wanted to voice out her grievances.
“Originally, we were attracted because the food here is great and the reviews were decent. We wanted to come and taste it for ourselves. But the service today totally displeased us!”
Suri nibbled on her straw as she vented to Yigol.
To be honest, everyone could sense the poor service from the staff.
They could understand their dissatisfaction.
However, they’ve already finished their meal and couldn’t just hang around here forever.
“You guys keep chatting; I’ll go pay the bill.”
Yigol immediately got up and left the room with the waiter. Meanwhile, Suri turned towards Mrs. Walker to say.
“Let’s visit the old man later.”
Mrs. Walker had no objections to Suri’s suggestion and quickly nodded in agreement.
“Sure, no problem.”
The other grandmothers also chimed in.
“We’ll go with you.”
However, it would be a bit inconvenient if such a large group all went to the hospital.
Moreover, the grandmothers were physically worn out and needed some rest after the meal.
With the night quickly setting in, staying out too late wouldn’t be good for their sleep.
So at this moment, Suri suggested.
“Let’s just have Mrs. Walker and another grandma join us for dinner. The rest of you can head back and rest since it’s getting late.”
Although they wanted to say something more upon hearing this, Mrs. Walker quickly nodded in agreement.
“Of course, no problem.”
Well, since Mrs. Walker had spoken, they didn’t feel the need to say anything else.
So at this moment, they all just gently nodded, signaling their agreement.
Not too long after, Yigol returned to the private room.
He smiled cheerfully to everyone before standing up to leave with them.
After arranging for some people to send the grandmothers home, he and Mrs. Walker and another grandma headed to the hospital.
However, the other grandmother seemed to be in low spirits throughout the journey.
At first, Yigol didn’t notice this, it was Suri who picked it up.
She felt that the grandmother seemed unhappy.
So at that moment, she looked at the old woman with curiosity and asked. “Is there something wrong, grandma? Are you feeling unwell?”
She wondered if the car was too bumpy and causing the old woman motion sickness.
Various illnesses tend to emerge as a person ages.
Their energy is often not as robust as in their younger years.
So if they felt nauseous from the ride, it would be only natural.
If that were the case, she would ask the driver to slow down and not drive as quickly as they currently were.
But the grandmother merely shook her head. She opened her mouth slightly, but no words came out.
This left Suri even more puzzled.
At that moment, Yigol also noticed their situation and quickly turned to look in their direction, asking.
“What’s going on?”
Mrs. Walker, seeing their confused expressions, wanted to explain, but eventually, decided against it.
After all, it wasn’t her business but the other grandma’s affair.
Seeing as it wasn’t her place to interfere, she could only leave the decision to the old woman.
Hence, she could only respond to Suri and Yigol by shaking her head and saying.
“It’s up to her.”
Mrs. Walker’s cryptically spoken words only deepened Suri and Yigol’s confusion, leaving them clueless as to what she was on about.
With their gazes fixed on the sad grandmother, they waited for her to speak up.
After a long while, the old woman finally sighed deeply.
“I feel terrible about all this.”
They’d all thought it was something else entirely, but it turned out, this was the issue.
Suri immediately comforted the old woman by placing her arms around her shoulders and shaking her head as she spoke.
“Oh dear, granny, you’re overthinking this. You shouldn’t let this get you down.”
But the old woman just kept shaking her head.
“The truth is, my husband hasn’t been very nice to me in the past. He even hit me…Only after his accident did his temper improve slightly…”
It was only after a lot of hesitation that she finally voiced out her truth.
Everyone was taken aback by her words, unable to believe what they’d just heard.
They exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
Suri and Yigol swallowed hard, and after a moment, Suri finally found the courage to respond.
“This…this is beyond…”
She stopped midway, unable to express herself.
Upon hearing that the old woman had come clean, Mrs. Walker, who had been keeping silent, finally felt like she couldn’t keep quiet anymore.
So now, she could only shake her head helplessly.
“They used to live on our street. We’d occasionally hear her crying during meals. The man was particularly fierce when he was still capable, always bullying her.”
“Only after he was disabled did his temper improve a bit. Because he was scared that if he continued treating people poorly, we besties would stop helping him.”
Suri and Yigol were completely shocked, unable to speak.
Because they never thought this would happen.
All of this was beyond their imagination.
“How can such men exist!”
Fury ignited within Suri. She was shocked that such an event had occurred.
They had initially intended to help the elderly.
But after hearing this story, they were filled with rage.
They had initially imagined a passionate love story, but it turned out that the old man had been incredibly abusive.
The grandmother beside them then nodded.
“That’s why I feel guilty about you spending money and putting effort into helping him. ”
To tell the truth, she felt awful about it.
She too felt torn, didn’t she?
