Shana patted Garrett's arm. "Garrett, I know you're concerned about me. You've gotten so many renowned doctors to look at me in the past six months. None of them were able to help much. My eyes are probably…"
"Don't be so pessimistic, Aunt Shana. You'll definitely recover. Take a seat and drink some water."
Shana took the glass of water. "Garrett, thanks for visiting me so often. I don't know what I'd do to pass the time without you."
"Aunt Shana, I'm honored to be able to do that. You don't have to say that. I'm not worthy of such words."
Olivia stood at the side as she observed their interaction. She wasn't sure if she was seeing things. While Garrett's words were a little suspicious, the emotions he displayed looked genuine.
If he was pretending, then he was a great actor.
After finishing her glass of water, Shana noticed the silhouettes of Olivia and Willow.
She waved at Olivia and said, "Come here, Dr. Fordham."
"Madam Fordham." Olivia stood next to her politely.
"Take a seat and make yourself at home. We had a good talk just now. By the way, where's Sean?"
Olivia didn't have the heart to give her the news, so she thought of an excuse.
"He's resting in the room now. I'll keep you company."
"That's good. Come walk with me. Let's wake him up when it's time for dinner. Let him sleep for now."
Shana radiated motherly love. But her face looked so young that Olivia felt a little awkward. She found it hard to see Shana as a mother figure because she looked more like an older sister.
Olivia took a good look at Shana and realized she hadn't undergone any cosmetic surgery.
"So, that's why."
Shana smiled. "You'll have to talk to Garrett when it comes to skincare. He has developed several skincare brands. I heard that all of them sell very well."
"If you don't mind, I can examine your skin for you, Dr. Fordham. Then, I can custom-make some products for you based on your condition."
Garrett looked very mild-tempered and showed no signs of snobbishness despite his success.
Olivia noticed that he had his eyes on Shana the whole time. Every time Shana walked up or down some stairs, he would instinctively lean forward. He seemed very concerned about Shana.
Was she wrong again? Emotions could be faked, but those tiny reflexive details couldn't.
It was clear Garrett was worried about Shana. It seemed like the situation was more complicated than Olivia had imagined.
