Chapter 249 Grandma’s Magic Touch
Back at the Bennetts, under Kenneth’s coercion, Lauren had begged for mercy in from of ded bed, knocking her head until it bled.
Her forehead was wrapped in thick white bandages, to obvious, yet the Bennetts turned & find eye.
Now, her eyes were just slightly red from crying, and Kate noticed right away.
Lauren took a deep breath, holding back the tears that threatened to spill
She put on a smile and explained, “A gust of wind blew some dust into my eyes, and I ruthed them for quite a while.”
Hearing this, Kate’s anxious heart finally settled. She was always worried about Laurie being bullied by careless people outside.
“But dust in the eyes can also be irritating,” she quickly told Anna, “Anna, bring the eye drops”
“Madam Kate, I’m really fine.”
Kate wouldn’t hear of it. She firmly made Lauren sit on the couch, then had her lie down with her head in her lap.
Kate almost cradled half of Lauren’s body, treating her as tenderly as her own granddaughter.
Lauren’s nose tingled, and she almost lost control of her emotions.
Just as she was about to cry, Kate dropped the eye drops in her eyes, and instantly, Lauren’s tears flowed uncontrollably, hidden by the drops.
“What’s the matter?” Kate asked anxiously.
Anna and Marilyn also gathered around, three pairs of eyes all on her.
“It’s just that the eye drops are really cold,” Lauren pretended it was nothing.
Kate exhaled in relief.
“Alright, just bear with it; I’m almost done.”
Lauren smiled up at Kate, her gaze unwavering.
Kate applied the drops a couple more times, but each time, the drops (and tears) streamed down the corners of her eyes.
“Why are they all running out?” Kate wondered.
“Maybe my eyes just don’t absorb water very well.”
Kate couldn’t help but laugh, “You always making me happy.”

Life goes on without me. Besides, Mr. Brooker is such a good man, he’ll surely find someone better suited for him. And me, I can only be a brief part of his life.
Lauren nuzzled into Kate’s embrace, comforted by her warm scent, feeling incredibly secure,
Feeling the closeness of the person in her arms, Kate’s heart melted,
She gently patted Lauren’s back, “I hope you’re happy every day, too.
“Hmm,” Lauren’s voice was muilled.
“Tired from being out all day?”
“A bit.”
“Then sleep here for a while,” Kate suggested, making no move to let go.
Lauren lay half on Kate, her body too weak to walk much without feeling frail. Under Kate’s gentle coaxing, she drifted off to sleep.
Once she was sound asleep, Kate carefully moved her, placing a pillow under her head.
Marilyn had already brought a light blanket, and after Kate stood up, she carefully covered Lauren with it.
Unaware in her deep sleep, Lauren didn’t see Kate, Anna, and Marilyn standing by the sofa, quietly watching her sleep for a while before they tiptoed away.
“Madam Kate, what’s for dinner? Mr. Brooker will be home soon,” Anna asked.
The old lady glanced at Lauren on the couch and whispered, “Cooking might wake Laurie, let’s just order some takeout for Felix.”
Anna fell silent. Takeout? Mr. Brooker has never really had it before, has he?
“What about Ms. Bennett?” Anna inquired.
Kate looked to Marilyn, “Laurie loves the porridge Marilyn makes. Millet porridge is also good for the stomach. Marilyn, why don’t you cook some porridge? It won’t make much noise.”
Kate’s doting on Lauren renewed Anna and Marilyn’s understanding.
Though it seemed a bit partial, Anna and Marilyn were happy to see it.
When Felix returned, the family gathered around the dinner table.
In front of Lauren was a bowl of thick, fragrant millet porridge.
While Marilyn cooked the porridge, Kate had also steamed an egg custard especially for Lauren.
In front of Felix, there were four dishes that looked high in fat, salt, and calories, even the rice appeared lackluster and dry.
