Chapter 1014


    Meanwhile, in another hospital ward, Pam woke up from her unconsciousness with a splitting


    headache. She blinked a few times to take in her surroundings and realized Greg and Francine


    were sitting by her bedside.


    Francine grabbed her hand and said emotionally, "Grandma! You''re finally awake! You nearly


    scared me and Grandpa to death when you passed out!"

    Greg sighed with relief, but he then frowned and said harshly, "I told you, you shouldn''t havee


    to the hospital! Now look at all the extra trouble you''ve caused us!"


    Not in the mood to deal with him, Pam ignored him. Even though she did not remember why she


    fainted, she did remember why she came to the hospital in the first ce.


    She grabbed Francine''s hand to help herself up. "Francine, how are Corinne and the baby now?"


    Francine''s expression slowly fell apart. She did not know how to answer Pam as she feared her


    grandmother would faint again if she told her the truth. Thus, she looked to Greg for help.


    Greg knew what she was worried about, so he deliberately scoffed and said, "You should worry


    about yourself instead of others, you old fool!"


    Pam knew they were trying to distract her, so she shook her head, saying, "I''m fine. I got a little


    dizzy, that''s all. Greg, Francine, please answer my question. How''s Corinne and the baby now? Are


    they both okay?"


    Francine remained silent. Greg, however, pushed Pam to lie back down on the bed.


    "Enough is enough. You''re too weak to have the luxury to worry about others right now. You should


    rest. The doctor will be hereter to check on your heart and blood pressure. We can talk about


    whatever you want at home once he gives us the clear," said Greg.


    Pam frowned and sat up again. "I know my body the best, and I say I''m fine! Plus, how can I not


    worry about Corinne and the baby? She''s our granddaughter-inw after all. Not to mention, the


    baby she''s carrying is a Holden!"


    Greg frowned and deliberately pulled an angry face. "How can you be so sure the baby she''s


    carrying is Jeremy''s? I heard she left him for some time while we were gone, and then she got


    pregnant not long after she came back. The baby''s father could be anyone. Don''t you think so too,


    Francine?"


    Francine was stunned. She had no doubts that the baby''s father was Jeremy. After spending some


    time with Corinne, she epted her as her sister-inw, so it was quite a pity she was lost to her


    forever.


    ''I know Grandpa is trying to get Grandma to hate Corinne so she won''t be too sad about her death,


    but…'' Francine was unwilling to malign Corinne until Greg cleared his throat and red at her.


    "Umm… Yeah, Corinne did leave Jeremy for a while, and…she is popr with the guys, so…"


    In the end, Francine decided to go along with what Greg said for the sake of Pam''s health.


    "See, I told you so!" said Greg. "Even Francine knows how popr Corinne is with the guys.


    There''s no guarantee she didn''t fool around with another guy in the one month she left the house.


    You shouldn''t be taken in by her good girl image, you know. Besides, we can always find another


    girl for Jeremy to marry. I mean, who wouldn''t want to be a Missus Holden? We''ll never want for


    great-grandkids either!"


    Pam''s expression suddenly fell. She finally realized something. "Tell me the truth: Corinne is


    dead, isn''t she?"


    Francine kept quiet. ''Looks like nothing Grandpa says will keep Grandma from finding out the truth.''


    Greg frowned. "Even if she is, it has nothing to do with us since she and Jeremy were never legally


    married in the first ce. She''s not really our granddaughter-inw yet, so you shouldn''t get too


    emotional about her."
