After the two of them finished their kiss, Elvira''s fingertips gently caressed Zach''s exquisite eyebrows as she asked, "Have you visited Grandma yet?"


    "Not yet. I came here as soon as I got off the ne. I didn''t even return to thepany." Zach hugged her tightly and felt extremely at ease when he smelled her scent.


    Zach noticed that she seemed to be implying something, so he asked, "What happened to Grandma?"


    "Don''t worry. Grandma is fine now. It''s just that two days ago, for some reason, her heart suddenly felt ufortable and she was hospitalized for two days." Elvira could not hide Tracy''s serious condition from Zach.


    Zach''s expression changed slightly when he heard that. He immediately tidied up his clothes and said, "I have to see Grandma."


    "I''ll go with you." Elvira''s clothes were so wrinkled that they were unsightly. She had spare clothes in her office, so she took another set and changed into it.


    In the car, Zach had a lot on his mind.


    "What''s wrong?" Elvira asked.


    "Grandma''s operation went well. Logically speaking, there shouldn''t be any problems if she recuperates properly. I''m worried that Grandma is hiding something from me." With that, Zach held Elvira''s hand tightly. Elvira could feel his nervousness when she felt his strength.


    She knew that he cared a lot about Tracy''s health. She heard that Benjamin had passed away quite suddenly. That incident had dealt a huge blow to Zach, so he cared a lot about Tracy''s health.


    Elvira held Zach''s hand andforted him, "Don''t worry too much. Grandma loves you so much. She will definitely stay


    well."


    Zach hugged Elvira. "Grandma and you matter to me the most. I just want the two of you to be fine."


    When Elvira heard his words, she felt touched. She hugged his waist and kissed his chin. She even regretted being jealous of a strange woman and even having a problem with him.


    When they arrived at the Gilbert mansion, Zach asked Tracy what happened. Tracy said that it was nothing serious and that it was just perhaps she had caught a cold when she slept two days ago.


    Zach didn''t think Tracy seemed to be lying and wondered if he was overthinking it. His expression was too serious. Elvira was worried that he would scare Alice, so she excused herself from Tracy and brought Alice to the side hall to y.


    Zach asked Anna to help Tracy back to her room to rest while he called all the servants in the house over to give them warnings and instructions.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    When Zach was done doing that, he came to Elvira and Alice. Elvira was helping Alice with her food. When Alice saw Zach, she wanted him to carry her. "Hug me, Daddy."


    "Call me Uncle Zach. Zach did not want Alice to confuse his identity. He couldn''t believe that his unreliable sister, Grace, would allow Alice to call him Daddy.


    "Daddy." Alice stubbornly called him Daddy. Kids were simple-minded. She just wanted a dad.


    Zach was speechless.


    Elvira smiled. "Stop correcting her. She''ll understand when she grows up."

    "Is Alice old enough for kindergarten now?" Zach raised his hand and stroked Alice''s hair.

    "Yes, she is. Should we contact a kindergarten for Alice? If we do should we ask for your sister''s opinion?" Elvira looked up at Zach inquiringly...


    "Forget it. I''ll make the decision. I''ll get my staff to arrange it tomorrow." Zach shook his head when he thought of Grace.


    Elvira lowered her head and asked Alice in her arms, "Alice, are you happy about going to kindergarten?"


    "Yes! I have a daddy now! I won''t beughed at by the kindergarten kids anymore! I''m going to tell everyone that I have a daddy now!" Alice said happily.


    Zach frowned when he heard this. "Did the kids mock you for not having a father?"


    "That''s right. They allughed at me and refused to make friends with me. I don''t like them anyway. They''re mean." Alice clenched her fists.


    Alice''s words made Zach and Elvira feel distressed. Elviraforted Alice and sent her upstairs to sleep.


    Zach watched the two of them go upstairs. When he saw Elvira''s back while she held Alice in her arms, he felt moved. He took out his phone and called Grace to lecture her.


    Grace was confused as she wondered, ''What happened? Why am I scolded all of a sudden?''


    "Zach, let me tell you something. Mom knows that you are married and has alreadypleted all the things on hand. She ns to return home soon to meet my sister-inw." Grace interrupted Zach''s lecture and told him something more important. Zach didn''t say anything.


    He suddenly had some mixed feelings. Ever since Skr went overseas, she had onlye back three times in almost twenty years. Thest time she came back was seven years ago.


    Although Zach was on good terms with her, they weren''t close. After all, he was a man and had not grown up under her care. Coupled with the fact that they had not seen each other for a long time, they had long be distant.


    Elvira put Alice to bed before going downstairs. On the way home, she realized that Zach looked troubled. She leaned over and hugged him, asking, "What''s wrong? You''ve been unhappy since I put Alice to bed."


    "I''m not unhappy. I''m just thinking about something." Zach gently pinched Elvira''s beautiful face.


    "What are you thinking about?" Elvira was curious as to what could make him so serious in front of her.


    "My mother might be returning home soon," Zach told her the truth.


    Elvira didn''t say anything.


    "I haven''t seen her for seven years. She''sing back suddenly, and I don''t know how to face her," Zach said.


    "Is your mom nice to you?" Elvira asked as she hugged him.


    "She would send me a message every holiday. She would call me on my birthday to wish me well," Zachmented objectively.


    Elvira asked, "That''s all?"


    Zach said, "Yeah."


    "I think she cares about you." Elvira felt that Skr sent Zach messages on holidays because she cared about him.

    If Rowena were nice to her, Elvira might think that Skr was not treating him well enough. However, with what Rowena did, Elvira knew that at least Skr cared about Zach. Rowena had never sent Elvira any messages after she left the country.


    "Maybe I''m the only one she can think of." Zach stroked Elvira''s hair and hugged her tighter. "Only you and Grandma matter to me."


    "You have Alice now. In the future, there will be more and more important people in your life," Elvira said with a smile.


    "Our baby, for instance." Zach stroked Elvira''s belly.


    "Zach, we''ve tried for so long, but I haven''t been pregnant. Is it possible that I''m infertile?" Elvira suddenly felt a little nervous. She really wanted a baby as soon as possible.


    Zach didn''t want Elvira to feel any pressure, so he said, "Don''t talk nonsense. Even if one of us is infertile, it has to be me. It can''t be you! Don''t be too nervous or anxious. Let nature take its course. Even if we can''t have a baby, it''ll be fine."


    He thought that he had to remind Tracy not to mention anything about having a baby again. Even if Tracy did not deliberately pressure Elvira, Zach knew that repeatedly mentioning this would make her unconsciously feel pressured.
