    "Rose is here. Oh, Rose!"


    Reba was so d to hear that Rosalie was here, she went downstairs with Zane''s help to say hello to Rosalie as quickly as she could.


    "Rose!"


    "Grandma." Rosalie approached Reba and hugged her, unable to hold back her tears.


    Reba was delighted to see Rosalie. "Rose, you''re finally here! I haven''t seen you for so long. I really missed you."


    Reba kept feeling like she hadn''t seen Rosalie for a long time and had a niggling feeling that she had forgotten something important. Her brain was bing foggier and foggier day by day.


    "I''m sorry, Grandma. If you want to see me, I''lle visit you more often."


    She thought Grandma would never remember her and would keep seeing Aurora as her.


    "Yes, doe visit me more often. I''m getting old, I don''t know how much longer I have to live. Each visit is a countdown to my death."


    "Grandma, don''t say that," Rosalie said, feeling very upset. "You''ll live to a ripe old age."


    Reba held Rosalie''s hand tight. "I want that too. I want to see you and Theo with children of your own. I want to carry my great-grandchild in my own hands."


    Aurora saw how close Reba and Rosalie were, and was fuming and jealous. She had humbled herself and kept this olddypany for so long, yet Reba only had eyes for Rosalie.


    Theodore approached them, and Steve started cooing. Reba turned her head, and was shocked to see the baby in Theodore''s arms.


    "This...this baby is..."


    Theodore replied, "Grandma, this baby is..."


    "Grandma, did you forget?" Rosalie interrupted Theodore, and immediately took Steve from Theodore''s arms. "I''ve been married to Theo for a long time. This is our baby."


    Theodore looked at Rosalie in shock as emotions roiled in his chest.


    At that moment, he sensed that Rosalie was speaking the truth-that the baby was truly theirs. When he turned his attention to Grandma, he understood that Rosalie was just lying to make Grandma happy.

    Grandma had dementia, couldn''t think clearly, and knew nothing. There was no loss telling a fib just to make her happy.


    Aurora and Angie looked annoyed as they stood aside.


    Reba was pleasantly surprised to hear that. "Really? You and Theo have a child of your own!"


    Rosalie nodded. "Yes, Grandma. Look how adorable the baby is. His name is Steve."


    "Steve." Reba stretched out a wrinkled hand and gently caressed the baby''s cheek. "I have a great-grandchild. This is your and Theo''s baby." "Yes, Grandma."


    "Let me carry him, quick!"


    "Sure, Grandma. Go ahead."


    Rosalie handed her baby to Reba as tears trickled down her cheeks.


    She had wanted to do as Theodore suggested and say that Steve was her friend''s, and she was helping to take care of him. However, the expectant look in Grandma''s eyes made her blurt out the truth.


    Although she was speaking the truth, Theodore didn''t think so.


    Perhaps one day, she might tell Theodore the truth, but not now. Not at a time or ce like this.


    Right now, nothing else mattered except for Grandma thinking that this was the truth.

    Reba carried the baby in her arms as she sat on the couch. She was very careful, for fear that she might drop the baby.


    Rosalie took a step back to give Reba some alone time with her baby.


    She turned to nce at Theodore, whose gaze met hers. They looked at each other with mixed feelings brewing in their hearts.
