Chapter 553: Life Hanging by a Thread

Ella Charles had finished cooking and phoned Grace, asking her to come over to the shop for dinner.

Clearing her throat, Grace spoke in a thick voice, "I'll be right there."

Feeling something was off, Ella Charles's eyebrows furrowed together, "Grace, what's wrong with you? Your voice sounds hoarse!"

"Mom, I'm fine, I've just caught a cold, that's all."

Ella Charles's voice turned even gentler, "There's medicine in the drawer under the TV. Take some and put on a thick jacket, keep warm. We are in a mining area, up in the mountains, so it's colder than the city. You don't have to come here, I'll bring the food to you."

"Mom, don't bother, I can come by myself. I have my thick jacket on. It's just a minor cold, nothing serious, some medicine will do."

After a moment of hesitation, Ella Charles said, "In that case, come over here. I'll make you some ginger soup."

"Thank you, mom!"
