Chapter 287 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

“If it’s work–related, tell them to contact Carl. If it’s personal, you make the call”

Mirabella picked up his phone and saw it was Grandpa Phillip calling.

“Grandpa Phillip, it’s Mirabella” Mirabella looked towards the bathroom, wanting to explain that Romeo was in the shower but worried about any misunderstanding.

To her surprise, Phillip McMillian jumped the gun, excitedly saying, “You’re with Romeo? Bella, has your activities been tough? Are you tired? Has President Barton been treating you well? Has anyone been giving you a hard time at school?”

Mirabella smiled and said, Tm doing great.”

“If anyone gives you a hard time, you have to tell me, and I’ll sort it out! How’s the environment at school? Do you like the food? Do you need anything? I can personally deliver it to you!”

“No need, everything’s great.” Mirabella didn’t expect Grandpa Phillip to be so caring, and it warmed her heart.

“That’s good, as long as no one’s giving you a hard time.” Phillip said, relieved, “What’s Romeo up to? I’ve called him many times, but he hasn’t picked up.” “He” Mirabella glanced at the bathroom again, “He’s on the throne.”

“Oh, he’s on the throne, that explains it.”

“Do you have any urgent matters?”

“Great news! Your grandma!” Phillip’s voice was very excited, “She woke up a few times before, but each time was very short. I would call her, and she would respond, but not like today! Today was truly a surprise

Phillip, thrilled, quickly relayed the situation to Mirabella, 1 called her by her nickname, she answered me, and even called me by my nickname. She said she was thirsty. I gave her water, and then she asked me what day it was, how long she had been asleep!”

Even though she had woken up a few times before, she had never initiated a conversation with him. She was just slightly conscious!

What happened today was unbelievable to Phillip! He was over the moon!

“She even asked me where Romeo was, and I told her she had been asleep for a long time and that Romeo had found his love. I gave that girl the necklace, and she said she wanted to meet you guys. When can you guys come to visit?”

“Is she still awake now?” Mirabella asked softly.

“She’s asleep now, but I feel like she’s been waking up more and more often lately and for longer periods of time. Although she still can’t get out of bed and needs to be fed, just like a child. She can already have simple conversations with me.”

This was enough to drive Phillip into ecstasy!

She was conscious, able to communicate, and even remember people, something Phillip hadn’t even dared to dream about.

Mirabella smiled and said, “As long as she takes her medication, she’ll get even better After some time, you can slowly help her walk or let her use a cane, and then she’ll be able to walk on her own.”

Suddenly, Phillip covered his face, starting to cry from excitement.

Through the phone, Mirabella could hear him trying to hold back his tears, and she couldn’t help but say, “Grandpa Phillip.”

“If it weren’t for you, I couldn’t even imagine this day, not even in my dreams.” Phillip began to cry from happiness. After a while he said, “Good girl, thank you. I’m so lucky to have you, you’ve saved me and my wife many times. The McMillian family owes you so much.”

“Grandpa Phillip, don’t say that. I’m happy that I could help.

That’s what she’s supposed to do.

“You’re the only girl in my life that I approve of! Only you can be my grandson’s wife, and no one can replace you! Romeo dares to do anything to hurt you, I break his legs night away! The McMillian family is so lucky to have a smart and beautiful girl like you.”

Phillip’s voice was still choked with tears.

Mirabella couldn’t help but laugh, “Wipe your tears first. Well come over in a bit.”

“Great, that’s great Phillip quickly wiped his tears, his voice filled with happiness.

At that moment, Romeo, who had finished his shower, hugged her from behind, “Was that my grandpa on the phone?”

He had heard the latter part of the conversation, so he guessed the person on the other end of the phone was his grandpa.

“Yes, your grandma woke up. We’re going to visit her in a bit, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Do you want to say a few words to your grandpa?” Mirabella handed him the phone

But Romeo’s arms were still firmly wrapped around Mirabella. He lowered his head and smelled her scent, “No need, hang up.”

They were going to go over there anyway. Anything that needed to be said could wait.

Phillip, who was still crying, was a bit angry when he heard his grandson’s words. This ungrateful brat, forgetting his grandpa as soon as he had a fiancée, not even wanting to take a call! Humphi

He didn’t want to talk to this kid anymore!

“Bella, since you’re making the trip here, why don’t you stay for dinner?” “Okay, see you in a bit.”

After hanging up, Romeo kissed Mirabella again, as if it would never end.

When they came down, Derek quickly bowed, “Mr. McMillian, Mirabella.”

Was it over already??

It’s only been half an hour, and Mr. McMillian had even finished his shower, wasn’t this a bit fast?

No way

“We’re not dining here tonight. Tell Gary he doesn’t need to cook for us.” Even though Romeo noticed the surprise and confusion in Derek’s eyes, he didn’t think twice about it

“Sure, Mr. McMillian”

As Romeo left hand in hand with Mirabella, Derek went to the garden to find Gary Gary was also a bit stunned. Did Mr. McMillian just up and leave like that? Was he done that quickly?”

Carl, who was playing games in the car, suddenly heard someone knocking on the window. He looked up, and his phone nearly dropped out of his hands in shock. “Mr McMillian.”

He had barely been gone half an hour, and he was already back? Who would’ve thought that Mr. McMillian, who seemed so tough and strong, would be such a quick shot.

Poor Ms Bella‘

“What are you staring at me for? Unlock the car Romeo was oblivious to his thoughts

“Alright.” Carl hurriedly hit the unlock button. Romeo opened the car door, let Mirabella get in first, then followed her into the car and said, “Drive to Fairfield Manor “Now?”

Did something happen to Phillip?

“My grandmother woke up.”

“Oh, I see”

Carl quickly started the engine.

“What does your grandmother like the most?” In the car Mirabella suddenly asked, “We didn’t bring any gifts. It’s not very nice to show up empty handed.”

“You’re the best gift ever,” Romeo said, touching her face to comfort her. “My grandma will be over the moon to see you.” “But I can’t just show up empty–handed,” Mirabella said, inquiring, “What did your grandma like most?”

She had to come up with something.

“Miss Bella, Shirley McMillian loved flowers, paintings, and playing chess. She’s even heard your music,” he informed

Mirabella looked skeptical,

“It’s true! You can ask Mr. McMillian if you don’t believe me”

“That’s right,” Romeo said gently, “My grandma did listen to your music before, and she loved

So, all she had to do was play a few tunes for Shirley?

If Shirley liked chess, Mirabella did have a top notch chess set made of gold. Even the chessboard was worth a fortune but it was too late to have it delivered now. “Didn’t you give my grandma a gold bracelet before?” Romeo reminded her. “That bracelet is still on my grandma’s wrist, and you don’t need to prepare anything else. Just show up.”

Finally, Mirabella decided to bring the chess set next time, persuaded by Romeo.

Before long, their car pulled up in front of Fairfield Manor

Romeo, leading Mirabella by the hand, walked through the front door, with Brodie showing the way.

“Shirley just woke up, and she’ll be thrilled to see you guys!” Brodie couldn’t contain his joy

Who would’ve thought that not only would Shirley wake up, but she could also engage in simple conversations? It was beyond everyone’s expectations! And all of it was thanks to Mirabella!

In Phillip’s bedroom, the elegant Grandma Shirley sat on the bed, sipping soup fed by Phillip

“Grandpa, Grandma,” Romeo and Mirabella chimed in, drawing the attention of the elderly couple.
