Chapter 3 Time Reveals A Person's Heart

"Bah Brat, she's your wife! Why are you asking me if I'm satisfied with her? Miss, move a little closer to me. Let me have a good look at you." Florence motioned Nancy to come closer.

Nancy took a quick look at the room before she moved her eyes back to the elegant old lady who was lying in the middle of the big bed. The old lady's eyes were beautiful, but their beauty was eclipsed by the anger that shone in them. However, upon inspection, she discovered the old lady's eyes were twinkling with mirth. It was quite apparent now that the old lady was only feigning anger. When she recalled the soft pillow that was aimed at Daniel, realization dawned on her. She quickly glanced at Daniel and discovered he looked both nervous and helpless.

When Nancy regained her senses, she calmly stepped forward and bowed. "Hello, grandma. I'm Nancy George."

When Nancy stood next to the bed, Florence reached out and held her hand.

With this, the servant, Sara, hurriedly brought a chair over and invited Nancy to take a seat.

In contrast to her treatment of Nancy, Florence rolled her eyes at Daniel, who was standing at the side, and waved her hand impatiently as she roared, "You're blocking the light. Step aside!"

Daniel reluctantly moved aside, wondering where else he should stand in the 330-square-meter-room.

Florence no longer minded Daniel as she held Nancy's hand and looked at her carefully before saying in a gentle voice, "you're so beautiful. Tell me, did my lawless grandson kidnap you?" Then, she patted Nancy's hand and continued to say with a solemn expression on her face, "Don't be afraid. I won't take his side. Tell me the truth. I'll teach him a lesson. Send him to the police station. I don't want this grandson anymore."

Nancy patted Florence's hand with her other hand and said softly with a smile on her face, "Grandma, Daniel didn't kidnap me. Our marriage certificates are real. Here! You can take a closer look at them."

Florence looked at the marriage certificates on the quilt and raised an eyebrow. "It's a piece of cake for him to obtain fake marriage certificates."

Nancy chuckled before she suggested, "You can ask someone to verify them online."

Florence nodded. I'll investigate this thoroughly. I won't allow him to fool me! Girl, how much did my grandson pay you?"

Nancy was startled when she heard Florence's words.

Florence confidently made a counter offer. "As long as you tell me the truth and admit that your marriage with him is a farce, I'll pay you double of whatever he paid you." After she finished speaking, she shot a triumphant look at her grandson who was standing next to her.

Daniel was rendered speechless by his grandmother's words.

On the other hand, Nancy burst out laughing. "Grandma, you're so cute."

Florence's eyes lit up when she heard Nancy's words. "Oh, what a sweet talker! No one has ever praised me for being cute. Please tell me if he hired you. Did he fake marriage with you to fool me?"

Nancy giggled before she swiftly changed the topic. "Grandma, do you have trouble sleeping these days? Do you have nightmares often and are easily awakened? Do you feel drowsy? Do you lose your temper for no good reason every afternoon? How about your appetite? Do you feel hungry but have no appetite?"

A stunned expression appeared on Florence's face immediately upon hearing these questions.

On the other hand, Sara had an expression of amazement on her face. She looked at Nancy intently and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. Old Madam has been facing these issues recently. How do you know this, miss? W-what's your occupation?"

Nancy chuckled and said teasingly, "I'm a fortune-teller."

Sara could not help but feel embarrassed when she heard Nancy's reply.

At this moment, Daniel finally spoke up. "Grandma, Nancy is studying Chinese medicine; she's a doctor. We are really married!"

Florence rolled her eyes at her grandson as she said, "So you didn't bring me a granddaughter-in-law, but you brought me a doctor instead? How long have you known each other? If you've known each other for a while now, why didn't you bring her to meet me when I first fell ill? Daniel, do you really treat me as a fool just because of my age?"

Daniel, who was at a loss for words, only muttered, "Grandma..."

At this moment, Nancy gently explained, "Grandma, it's true that we don't know each other for long..."

Florence glared at Daniel with an expression that seemed to say 'I knew it'

Nancy looked at Florence with clear and calm eyes as she continued to say, "Grandma, haven't you ever felt as though you've known someone for a long time even though you've just met? The length of time we knew each other has nothing to do with us being married or not. What do you think?"

Florence's eyes brightened as she held Nancy's hand again and said, "Girl, I'm only worried that you're being fooled by this punk. I forced him to find a girlfriend and even introduced girls to him, but he didn't take me seriously at all. All of a sudden, he brought you over when I threatened to die if he continues being single. Isn't this suspicious?"

"Grandma!" Daniel said through gritted teeth. However, he had no words to refute Florence.

Nancy remained calm as she said, "Grandma, it's fine if you don't believe us. Time reveals a person's heart. We will prove it to you, okay? However, you have to get better before you can interrogate us. Why don't I give you an injection so you can sleep better? In the meantime, I'll cook something for you to eat. Would you like to try my cooking?"
