章 13: I Was In A Coma!

Claire's POV

"Grandma?" I said softly, moving closer to sit beside her, ignoring the pain in my ankle. I took her hand gently. "Do you want me to peel an apple for you?"

Before she could answer, Nurse Julie stepped in. "Pardon, Miss. It's time for Old Madam to take her medicine and rest."

"Oh..." I mumbled, feeling awkward as Julie got everything ready. I tried to stay out of the way, knowing I was only here because of Grandma. If it weren't for her, I would have cut ties with the Kensingtons a long time ago. But in all the darkness, Grandma had always been my light, the only warmth in this cold family.

What hit me hardest today was hearing about Elijah and Lexi. They had always treated me kindly, welcoming me when no one else did. Every time I felt left out or treated unfairly, they were there to support me.
