Chapter 1481: 368: Young Miss Song Family!_4 Chapter 1481: 368: Young Miss Song Family!_4 She felt as if she was currently being pursued by Mr. White.

Grace White held Phoebe Perryne’s hand, “Sister, once you arrive in South City, you must send us a message to assure us of your safety.”

“Alright,” Phoebe nodded.

“Safe travels.”

Watching the car as it faded into the distance, Flora Tiarks exhaled, “Finally they’re gone!”

Upon hearing this, Glenn Tiarks looked at Flora and sternly rebuked, “What are you saying?”

Guests are precious!

Flora was being utterly disrespectful.

Flora lowered her head, instantly silenced.

In their home, she feared her father the most.

Thinking about it, she still felt wronged, “Dad, trust me, those two are no good!”

Glenn Tiarks, who had interacted with a multitude of people, naturally knew that Phoebe Perryne and Norma Augus had not visited without reason. He retorted, “Regardless of what type of people they are, it is not your place to judge them!”

In addition, his old friend has already passed on. As a good brother, it was his responsibility to protect his friend’s widow and child.

This was the fundamental decency of human beings.

Grace White glanced at Flora, her tone somewhat severe, “Watch what you say in the future! You have no sense of propriety.”

Flora stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything more.

On the other side.

Having already boarded the car, Norma Augus glanced back.

At that moment, Mr. White also looked up.

Norma Augus felt her heart skip a beat.

Her breath quickened.

Soon, Mr. White shifted his gaze.

Though the exchange was brief, Norma was certain that Mr. White had seen her.

He must find it very hard to let her go.

But for the sake of his masculine pride, he was too shy to express his feelings.

It seemed that her decision was indeed correct.

Norma’s heart pounded faster and her cheeks flushed.

Seeing her complexion, Phoebe questioned curiously, “Norma, what’s wrong?”

Coming back to her senses, Norma glanced at Phoebe. With a smile, she said, “Nothing.”

Phoebe didn’t think much further, continuing, “Do you think it was right for us to leave just like that?”

After all, Norma had barely spent a day with Mr. White.

Norma squinted, “It was absolutely right.”

“But…” Phoebe voiced her concerns, “We came all the way to Capital City for Marcus White, now that we finally have a chance to spend time with him…”

Knowing what Phoebe was trying to convey, Norma interrupted, “Mom, you just need to trust me.”

Seeing the confidence in her daughter’s eyes, Phoebe decided not to say anything more.

…

South City.

The Perryne family home.

The servants were bustling about; the atmosphere was tense.

Butler Cole stood by Mrs. Perryne’s bedside, “Doctor, you must think of a way. The lady and young mistress are not at home, if anything happens to the old lady, I won’t be able to face the lady.”

The doctor looked serious, “Butler Cole, I’ve tried my best! Given the grave state of the old lady’s illness, you should contact the lady immediately.”

Just then, Mrs. Perryne who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes and waved at Butler Cole, “Butl..Butler Cole…come here…”

Butler Cole instantly ran over, grabbing hold of Mrs. Perryne’s hand, “Old lady, is there something you want to say?”

Mrs. Perryne’s breath was feeble, every word she uttered seemed to sap all her strength, “Phoebe… Must get Phoebe to come back.”

Naturally, the ‘Phoebe’ she referred to was Phoebe Perryne.

Phoebe was Mrs. Perryne’s only daughter and the one she loved the most. Now that her days were numbered, both her only daughter and granddaughter were away from her side, the loneliness she felt was unbearable.

Butler Cole’s eyes were red, “Don’t worry, old lady, I will contact the young mistress and Miss Phoebe immediately, instructing them to rush back to see you.”

Only upon hearing this did Mrs. Perryne release her hand.

Butler Cole stepped out of the room to contact Phoebe.

After two calls, Phoebe finally picked up. Her tone was impatient, “Hello, Butler Cole, what is it?”

It was as if he was pressing for her life.

“Madam, the old lady’s condition has worsened, you and the young mistress must return immediately!”

What?

Upon hearing this, Phoebe turned pale and quickly pushed the man beside her, “What exactly is going on?”

Butler Cole briefly explained what the doctor had said.

Phoebe instantly fixed herself up and while walking out of the room, she said, “Alright, Norma and I will be back soon. Tell my mother to hang in there.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Phoebe closed the door.

Pah!

The young man behind her immediately followed, “Sister Perryne!”

Phoebe went directly to Norma’s room, “Norma, your grandmother’s condition is critical. We must rush back now!”

Norma, who was working at her computer, looked up slightly upon hearing this. Her gaze fell onto the man behind her mother, her brow slightly furrowed.

Now that her father had passed, she didn’t want to interfere in her mother’s personal life.

But…

This was too unseemly.

What a disgrace!

Only then did Phoebe realize it, she turned to look at the young man, lowering her voice, “You should go first, I’ll message you later.”

The young man seemed as if he wanted to say something, but upon catching Phoebe’s stern gaze, he left obediently without uttering a word.

After seeing the man leave, Norma leisurely rose from her chair, “What’s wrong with Grandma?”

“The situation is extremely dire!”

Norma frowned slightly, “How did this happen?”

“Enough talk. Let’s go home first!”

Since her childhood, Phoebe depended on her mother for support. Hence, she had a deep bond with Mrs. Perryne. When they settled abroad, they had considered bringing the elderly lady over, but Mrs. Perryne, missing her homeland, could not settle abroad for long.

The mother and daughter immediately boarded the high-speed train to South City.

Seven hours later.

The train arrived at Southern City Station.

Phoebe rushed to the Perryne family home.

By the time they arrived, Mrs. Perryne had once again fallen unconscious.

Phoebe cried out in distress, “Mom, how did you become like this?”

“Grandma!”

Though Norma had reddened eyes too, she was more composed than Phoebe.

There was of course a generation gap.

After a moment, Phoebe turned to the doctor, “What exactly is my mother’s condition? Is there really no hope?”

Hearing this, the doctor shook his head helplessly.

Phoebe continued, “Listen, Dr. Carter, if you can cure my mother, I’ll give you any amount of money!”

Without her mother’s persistence back in the day, she wouldn’t have what she has today, let alone officially be the heir to the Perryne fortune.

“This isn’t about money,” Dr. Carter looked troubled, “If you truly want to save the old lady, there might be one way.”

“What is it?” Phoebe instantly gripped Dr. Carter’s hand.

Dr. Carter continued, “For you, this solution should be fairly simple. I heard that Miss Viola Thompson is your niece. And she is the founder of the Sight Restorer Plan, creating unprecedented miracles in human history. If you could invite Miss Thompson over, perhaps we could save the old lady.”
