Neera couldn’t help but feel nonplussed, helplessly asking, “Please don’t rush. Do you have your phone with you?”

The old lady’s reaction seemed slow, standing there as if deep in thought. She patted her body before finally pulling out her phone from her left pocket. “Yes, I have a cell phone. Baby girl, look.”

Neera took it, sighing in relief. This is a good thing. Otherwise, given the situation, I would’ve needed to take this lady to the police station…

Neera tapped the screen, only to replace that it required a fingerprint unlock. Thus, she asked the old lady to press her finger on the screen.

Afterward, she scrolled through the old lady’s call history and dialed the number of the person she had recently been in contact with.

The call was quickly answered on the other end. A man asked, “Grandma, is there something you need?”

Glancing at the elderly lady, Neera asked softly, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Edward, the grandson of this phone’s owner?”

Upon hearing the voice of a stranger, the other party was somewhat surprised. “Yes, that’s me. Who are you? How do you have my grandmother’s phone?”

Neera released a sigh of relief, “Don’t worry, your grandmother is fine now. However, she forgot her way home. I’m currently with her. Can you come and pick her up?”

The guy was unaware that the old lady was missing. Upon hearing that she was outside, he immediately became anxious. “Sure, sure, I’ll be right there! Miss, may I know your surname? Where can I replace you?”

“No need for formalities. My surname is Garcia. I’m currently at Jadebrook Street, near Garcia Group… I’ll first take your grandmother to the coffee shop across the street to rest. Once you arrive, you can come straight there.”

The guy hurriedly expressed his gratitude, “All right, Ms. Garcia, thank you so much. I’m on my way now, Can you please help me check on my grandmother again?”

“No worries, there’s no need to rush. Be careful on the road.” After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

She then helped the elderly lady cross the road and entered the coffee shop to wait for someone.

Originally, she was wanted to sit across from the old lady.

However, the old lady simply wouldn’t have it. She refused to be even half a step away from Neera, choosing instead to sit beside the latter on the same side.

Feeling helpless, Neera had no choice but to go along with it, calling the waiter over to place their order. “Ma’am, what would you like to drink?”

Without even glancing at the menu, the old lady said directly, “Orange juice. You used to love it the most, Baby girl. I will have the same as you.”

Truth be told, Neera didn’t really care for orange juice.

However, following the old lady’s suggestion, Neera ordered a glass of it.

However, tollowing the old lady’s suggestion, Neera ordered a glass of it.

The old lady was very happy, holding Neera’s hand and chattering non-stop.

“I’ve missed you so much, baby girl. I kept dreaming about searching for you during the years you were gone. Many times, when I was about to replace you, you were gone again in a blink of an eye. Today, I finally found you. How have you been all these years? Have you been well, or have you suffered?”

Seeing that the old lady’s condition was unstable, Neera worried that denying being the former’s daughter might upset her. Hence, Neera decided to go along with it in a good-natured way. “I’ve been doing well these past few years…”

The two were chatting intermittently. About half an hour later, two men hurriedly opened the door and entered.

Both of those men were dressed in suits and leather shoes. One of them was middle-aged while the other young and handsome. Their appearances suggested that they were not ordinary individuals.

After entering, they looked around the café before their gaze quickly landed on the elderly woman. They hurried over to her anxiously.

“Mom!” said the middle-aged man.

“Grandma! Why did you run out?” asked the young man.

Neera took a moment to size up the two men, guessing that the young man must be “Edward” and the middle- aged man was likely his father.

The old lady saw them and was overjoyed. She smiled and said, “Jeremiah, Edward, come quickly. I’ve found my baby girl!”

Upon hearing that, both of them were taken aback and then turned their attention to Neera.

The young man didn’t seem to react much. However, the middle-aged man was suddenly taken aback, his eyes filled with stark astonishment.

Neera stood up. “Greetings.”

The young man nodded in acknowledgment, politely saying, “Hello, you must be Ms. Garcia, right? My name is Edward Park. I was the one who spoke with you on the phone earlier. Thank you for caring for my grandmother and reaching out to us. I really appreciate it.”

Neera shook her head. “It’s okay. I ran into her earlier, but she wouldn’t let go of me. I felt something was off about her, and I didn’t feel right just leaving her there. Thus, I contacted you. Now that you’re here, it’s all good.”

Edward wore an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry. My grandmother must have mistaken you for my aunt. That’s why she acted that way. I’m truly sorry.”

Neera didn’t take it to heart and laughed it off nonchalantly. “It’s okay.”
