Reborn as the Baby Sister Everyone Spoiled—and the One He Loved

Chapter 22 Pretending to Faint

As Alora spoke, she pretended to be sincere and bowed to Elaine. "I'm sorry! Elaine, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! I was wrong! Everything in the Currans belongs to you. I should have given up the room to you on the day you came back. It's all my fault!" " ... " Elaine watched Alora's performance with a blank expression. If her acting was used in films, she might bring an Oscar home. "Elaine, I've already apologized to you. Please, don't bully Grandma, okay? She's old and can't handle this kind of distress. Grandpa never allowed Grandma to suffer even the slightest grievance when he was alive. What you're doing is too much!" Seeing that Elaine remained unmoved, Alora began to resort to moral coercion. "You unfilial daughter!" Maya pointed at Elaine. She was trembling all over with rage. Maya already felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to apologize to Elaine. But, it was about accepting the consequences of a bet. Although unwilling, she still had to apologize. However, upon hearing Alora's words, she felt utterly humiliated. Indeed. When her husband was alive, she had never endured such humiliation. Now, she was being forced to apologize by a junior. What kind of misfortune was this? Suddenly, Maya rolled her eyes and fainted."Grandma!" Alora was horrified, and she scrambled to support her. "Mom!" Rebecca also panicked but kept her composure. While helping Maya, she instructed Alora, "Alora, quickly call Jay! Ask where he is and make sure he comes back right away!" In a flurry of activity, Rebecca directed people to help Maya back to her room to lie down. "Grandma, please don't be in trouble." Alora sat by the bed, tears streaming down her face. "What should we do? Why hasn't Jay come back yet?" Rebecca was also pacing anxiously, unable to stay still.For someone of advanced age, fainting was no small matter. Elaine stood aside with her arms crossed, her posture casual, like an outsider. Alora observed Maya's lack of visible abnormalities and curled her lips into a mocking smile. She's faking fainting to avoid apologizing. Hmph ... What an unrespectful elderly! If Maya didn't want to acknowledge her as a granddaughter, Elaine didn't want to acknowledge such an underhanded grandmother either. Initially, Elaine intended to stand aside and watch the drama, curious how long Maya would continue feigning fainting. But seeing Rebecca so anxious, Elaine couldn't bring herself to continue. Elaine said, "Mom, I've heard that if you stab the soles of the feet with a needle, a person who has fainted will wake up." "Really?" Rebecca was hearing this for the first time. "Yes, it requires 108 needles. Each one should draw blood to be effective." "Well ... " "Mom, if we don't get Madam Sharpe to wake up quickly, she might suffer from insufficient blood flow to the brain, which could lead to partial paralysis or even more severe outcomes like full-body paralysis or a vegetative state ... " "Alright! I'll have someone get the needles." Upon hearing Elaine mention the potential risks if Maya didn't wake up soon, Rebecca made a decisive decision. Alora looked at Elaine with a mix of skepticism and uncertainty. She didn't understand medicine, and seeing Elaine's confident demeanor, she dared not refute it. She could only cry by the bedside. "Grandma, Grandma, you mustn't be in trouble ... " Everyone's attention was focused on Elaine's words. Only Elaine noticed that when she mentioned needing 108 needles, Maya on the bed tensed her scalp and furrowed her brow sharply. Is she ... afraid? If she's afraid, she should wake up quickly, shouldn't she? "Mom, what's wrong with Grandma?" At that moment, an anxious voice came from outside the room.
