Evelyn Sherman snapped back to her senses and quickly said, "Mom, I need to stay with Chester Yale to think of a way to deal with Sheldon Yale. You'll take care of Dad."
After she spoke, Evelyn didn't give Grace Yakov any chance to respond and pulled Chester upstairs.
When they reached the doorway, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't even know if my mom will realize that I wanted her to take care of Dad on purpose..."
Some people, once they miss their chance, it's for a lifetime, while others still have an opportunity.
She hoped Grace Yakov could unravel her own emotional knots.
"She'll understand," Chester said, his thin lips parting slightly as he looked down to kiss Evelyn's lips, grabbed her shoulders, and led her into the room, shutting the door!

In the living room, Grace Yakov looked in the direction they had left, furrowing her brow tightly.
After a while, she called the butler over and had him push her to the hospital room in the backyard.
