Chapter 200: Chapter 200: The Little Ancestor Is Back (2)
She took the Old Master’s pulse, which was relatively stable.
Raina let out a sigh of relief, pulling the quilt to tuck in the corners carefully.
Afterwards, she remained seated by the bedside. These years had been very busy, and it was rare for her to sit quietly like this.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
When she took out her phone and looked at it, her expression instantly softened.
She walked out of the room and answered the call: "Hello."
"Raina, Shea is missing."
"What?" Raina’s complexion changed drastically: "How could she be missing?"
"Shea has been fussing about returning to the country these past two days. She said she found her crush and wants to go on a date with them. I thought she was just joking and didn’t take it seriously. But when I got back from discussing a collaboration today, Shea was gone." Anya felt very guilty: "I saw the note she left at home; she said she found out her crush is in Southgate and bought a plane ticket to go back."
Raina took a deep breath: "What time does her plane land?"
Anya said: "Eight in the evening in Southgate."
Raina raised her wrist to check the time; it was four o’clock, four more hours until Shea arrived.
Raina took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm. Even if she wanted to handle the little rascal, she would have to wait until she returned; currently, she’s unreachable in mid-air.
Auntie Warren saw Raina’s troubled face and couldn’t help but walk over to ask, "Miss, what’s wrong? Did something happen?"
"It’s nothing." Raina raised a smile: "Auntie Warren, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be going first. Please take care of Grandpa for me."
"Of course, Miss." Auntie Warren called out to Raina: "When you’re not busy, come back often to visit; the Old Master really misses you."
"Okay."
Just as Auntie Warren saw Raina off, the Old Master woke up: "I seemed to hear Raina’s voice."
Auntie Warren helped the Old Master sit up: "Miss was here. She spent quite a while with you, but then had to leave in a hurry."
"So that’s how it is." The Old Master couldn’t help but stretch his neck to look around, but unfortunately, Raina’s figure was long gone.
Auntie Warren couldn’t help but say: "If you miss Miss, you should call her often and ask her to come back and visit."
The Old Master shook his head: "Raina’s had a tough time these years; better not disturb her life too much." Then he changed the subject: "What sort of antics are they up to today?"
"Everything’s been good today. I heard the Shelby Family was discussing Miss Claire’s marriage to Beau."
The Old Master was energized: "How is the discussion going now?"
"Well..." Auntie Warren hesitated a bit and gently said: "After all, it concerns the children’s lifetimes; they haven’t come to an agreement yet."
The Old Master was silent. After a long pause, he said: "Auntie Warren, would you please invite Miles Shelby over here? Tell him I want to personally discuss Claire and Beau’s marriage."
...
After leaving the North Family, Raina returned to her apartment at Prosperity Gardens.
Casper North was somewhat surprised to see Raina: "Raina, why did you come back so quickly?"
"Shea has come to Southgate."
"Damn! How did that girl get here? Wasn’t she on tour making money for our family? Why did she suddenly return?"
Raina’s face instantly darkened. Just thinking about what Anya had said made her temples throb; that kid really needed some discipline.
"Stop asking. Get ready, we need to go pick her up."
"Okay."
Having settled that, Raina went back to the room to pack some disguise items. Just thinking of her daughter being adored by mother fans and father fans made her particularly anxious, hoping she could successfully bring the girl back.
