“Davin?” Granny Owens had a strong impression of Davin.

An hour later
Granny Owens was brought here.
She was carrying some vegetables, fruits, and fresh prawns and meat.
“Granny, why did you buy so much stuff?” Baillie quickly stepped forward and took the things from her.
Granny Owens had red eyes, “Didn’t you say she has no appetite? I thought I’d make her some of her childhood
favorites.”
“Thank you.” Baillie said.
Granny Owens waved her hand, “She’s my granddaughter, you don’t need to thank me.”
She didn’t rush to see Paige
“Let her rest for a bit, I prepare some food first”
