"Excuse me," he asked the nurses anxiously. "Are you talking about Mrs. Silverback?"
The nurses stared at Lucien's handsome face for a while before they snapped back to reality. "Oh, no... not Mrs. Silverback. Grandma Kelley passed away this morning from old age. She is ninety years old."
Oh.
Although Lucien had no idea how old Ronan's mother was, he was sure that she was not ninety years old. But then what happened to her? Why did she not show up for her daily walk in the garden?
"Excuse me," he disturbed the nurses again. "Did something happen to Mrs. Silverback?"
The nurses exchanged confused glances. "Mrs. Silverback? We don't know. Young man, why don't you ask the receptionist for some information instead?"
"Alright, thanks."
Lucien went to the receptionist area right away. The nurse in charge beamed at the handsome man in delight when he approached the desk.
"Excuse me, I would like to inquire about Mrs. Silverback."
