"Corinne, can you tell me what you''re going to do? Maybe I can help!" said Francine.
Corinne shook her head. "You can''t help me. But you''ll do me a big favor by helping me take care of the kids."
Francine smiled helplessly. "Fine. But if there is anything else I can do to help, you must tell me!"
Corinne smiled and nodded. "Don''t worry, I''ll keep that in mind. Alright, that''s all for tonight. You should head to bed now."
Francine stood up and said, "Okay, Have a good rest, Corinne."
"Will do."
Corinne walked Francine out of the room.
Francine kept frowning out of worry for both Corinne and Jeremy, whom she had not seen for many years. She fervently prayed that her brother would get home safely, that there would not be any more unexpected situations, so that he and Corinne could live happily ever after.
As she walked toward her room, she suddenly heard Pam''s voice asking her from behind, "Francine, why did you go to your Corinne''s room sote in the night?"
Francine paused, turned, and saw Pam walking toward her with the maid supporting her.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
She began feeling flustered. "Uh... Grandma! Why aren''t you sleeping yet?"
Pam walked up to Francine and answered, "I don''t know why, but I''m so shaken up that I can''t sleep. I decided toe out for some air. Francine, I saw youing out of Corinne''s room just now. Did something happen to her or the kids?"
Francine shook her head quickly. "Nothing happened. They''re all fine!"
Pam found her reaction odd. "Then what were you doing in her room?"
Francine remembered what Corinne had just told her. After thinking about it, she said, "Umm... My skincare ran out, so I went to her room to borrow hers."
"You went to her room for such a small matter?" asked Pam unhappily. "Don''t ever do it again! She has a lot on her te right now, so she needs all the rest she can get! Nothing''s going to happen to your skin if you go without skincare for just one day!"
Francine nodded obediently. "Yes, Grandma, I understand! I promise I''ll never bother her for such a small matter next time. So, uh... I''m going to bed now. Good night."
She was about to run off before she said something she should not have.
However, Pam called out to her, "Francine, Wait!"
Francine stopped in her tracks and asked, "Yes, Grandma? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Pam held her forehead as if she was having a headache. "Have you heard any news about Jeremy from Corinne?"
Francine felt extremely guilty. "Uh... No, Grandma! Why do you ask so suddenly? We''ll definitely tell you if we have any news about Jeremy''s whereabouts!"
Pam sighed. "I don''t know why, but I kept dreaming about Jeremy for the past two days. It was either he was injured, or that he was locked in a cage! I wanted to rescue him in these dreams, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn''t. I''d wake up in fright every time. I didn''t dare to tell your grandfather about the dream whenever he asked what''s wrong for fear of worrying him."
Francine was stunned by how urate Pam''s intuition was.
However, she could not tell her the truth, so sheforted her, "Grandma, you must be missing Jeremy so much, and that''s why you keep having those dreams. Don''t think too much. I''m sure Corinne will let us know the moment she has news about Jeremy, and I''m also sure Jeremy wille back soon."
