Max was quickly soothed by his mother's words. He softened his voice to Melissa.
"Well. Elizabeth and I will bring my Grandma home tonight, so you don't have to go to the nursing home. You can go straight home."
"You will bring your Grandma home?"
Hearing Max's words, Melissa seemed a little surprised. She kept saying, "Is Elizabeth beside you now?"
Max didn't answer Melissa but looked at Elizabeth and signaled her to speak.
Anyway, he turned on the speaker feature on his mobile phone. Elizabeth could hear them speaking.
Elizabeth said, "Hey, Melissa. I'm with Max now."
Hearing this, Melissa immediately said in a soft voice, "Oh, so you are here. Thank you for taking care of Max's Grandma."
"It was nothing. Thanks for your attention!"
Although Melissa did not treat her as well as Madam Hart, she still had to be polite to her. After all, Melissa was her mother-in-law.
