Chapter 54\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana was stunned. \u201cShe\u2019s not getting a divorce! Sarah, don\u2019t spout nonsense!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the one spouting nonsense!\u201d Sarah snapped as she pointed angrily at Diana. \u201cWhat do you take Beth for? A tool to secure your position? Leave now! I don\u2019t want to see you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah\u2019s rage drew the attention of nursing home staff, who quickly intervened. \u201cMa\u2019am, you should leave. Look at how upset you\u2019ve made Sarah. What if she gets sick from this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right! Who the hell are you? Sarah has been so gentle and soft\u2013spoken all these years, never once raising her voice. It\u2019s her granddaughter who\u2019s been taking care of her the whole time, yet you show up out of nowhere and upset her? Get out! You\u2019ll only make her sick from stress!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With people chiming in to Sarah\u2019s defense, Diana was pushed out of the nursing home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany quickly gave Sarah a blood pressure pill and a heart supplement. \u201cGrandma, take these. Swallow this one, and keep the other in your mouth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gently patted Sarah\u2019s back, soothing her softly. \u201cCalm down. Don\u2019t get worked up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah, still crying, did as instructed but couldn\u2019t help feeling heartbroken for Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeth, I\u2019m sorry. I always hoped that you and Diana could get closer. I worry that after I\u2019m gone, you\u2019d have no one to rely on. But it seems like she isn\u2019t someone you can depend on. Beth, I promise to live a few more years so I can be there for you as your support. But Silas\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wiped her tears and asked, \u201cDoes he really like men?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany stiffened and immediately explained, \u201cNo, Grandma. Don\u2019t listen to what she says. Silas likes women.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that so?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah suddenly recalled something. \u201cThe photo of your boyfriend that you showed me last time didn\u2019t look much like Silas. Beth, you\u2019re not one to lie. Marriage isn\u2019t a game, so don\u2019t force yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was getting on in years now, so Bethany didn\u2019t want her to worry. She couldn\u2019t let Sarah know the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With no other choice, she called Silas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The voice on the other end of the line was calm and slightly nasal. \u201cHello, Bethany?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDear, I seem to have upset Grandma. Could you come over and help me soothe her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany put the call on speaker to convince Sarah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nervously used the term of endearment, hoping Silas would understand the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After three seconds of silence, Silas slowly chuckled. \u201cAlright, wait for me. I\u2019m coming over right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While soothing Sarah, Bethany made up a story about how she met and fell for Silas at first sight, trying hard to convince her that it was true love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, it didn\u2019t seem to do much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As if on cue, Silas arrived, stepping in with long strides. He wore only a thin black shirt, and the loose strands of hair at his forehead lifted slightly in the breeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His wrist was adorned with a silver watch, and the ring on his ring finger glimmered faintly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The natural curve of his thin lips lifted at just the right angle. \u201cSarah, I\u2019m sorry I\u2019m late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 54\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 eyes casually flicked toward the quiet Bethany who stood beside Sarah. A faint, unreadable smile played on his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked both like a well\u2013mannered gentleman and a predator lying in wait.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was no longer as happy as when she first met Silas. She regarded him calmly. \u201cHi.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas stood by Bethany and casually rested his hand on her shoulder. \u201cSarah, Beth is a little awkward with words. If she said anything to upset you, please don\u2019t take it to heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But even that level of affection didn\u2019t fully ease Sarah\u2019s mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t beat around the bush. \u201cSilas, you\u2019re a good man. I liked you the first time we met. But I just heard something intriguing. Do you really like men? If that\u2019s true, why did you marry Beth?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
