Chapter 46: Sudden Guilt Trip

George

Watching Grandmother practically have a fit over Charlotte's presence is not how I want to spend my afternoon, but it's not like I can just leave when someone has to be responsible.

"Grandmother, please. Charlotte is here as just a friend, nothing more," I sigh and she scoffs loudly, pointing a bony finger judgingly at Charlotte.

"You are BLIND! When will you learn?!"

"Grandma Anna, I know we haven't always gotten along but George is telling the truth. As his friend I should at least give you my well wishes, shouldn't I? You've been in and out of the hospital so much recently!"

"I want none of your wishes, well or not! I could be dying and I wouldn't want you here!"

"Grandmother!" Jessica gasps. "Don't say something like that!"

"And you! Have you no shame, Jessica? Befriending that gold digger and pushing your brother towards her?"
