Chapter 602
Hearing the usually frosty old Mr. Bagley suddenly showing such concem for her. Patricia felt somewhat pampered She quickly nodded obediently and then said
“Grandpa, actually, my foot isn’t that big of a deal If you need me to go on stage, I can still sing a lat
But I know you’re worried sick about me and probably don’t have the mood to keep watching the show So, I don’t want to worry you either I’ll just sing for you another time! However, while I’m nursing my foot. Il practice my singing chops so I can belt out even better next time for you!”
Looking at the thoughtful Patricia, a sense of admiration sparkled in old Mr. Bagley’s eyes that had never been there before He then said
“All right, just focus on getting better No need to strain your vocal cords. Your singing today was already top notch
This wasn’t just empty flattery but a heartfelt compliment.
She had indeed sung remarkably well just now. Not only did he think so, but the applause from the audience attested to that too!
With a voice like hers, it’s not hard to imagine her killing it in other songs tool
Old Mr. Bagley’s attitude towards Patricia had significantly changed!
Previously, he wasn’t too fond of Patricia and had a negative impression of this girl from the Howard family. He always thought of her as somewhat two faced. Even though she was thorough in her actions, he felt that she was cunning She appeared kind but might not actually be as nice as she seemed
But after hearing her sing today, he realized that she’s a girl with a heart, showing her sincerity through her effort!
Maybe he had misunderstood this girl before.
For years, he had been wanting to find comfort for old Mrs. Bagley, who had Alzheimer’s. He wanted to find a girl who resembled their missing daughter to keep old Mrs. Bagley company.
Now, since this girl from the Howard family was so earnest, there’s no need to look for anyone else. After all, they were somewhat of a family. Letting her accompany old Mrs Bagley would put his mind at ease..
Also, she did bear some resemblance to their missing granddaughter, particularly the mole between her eyebrows.
This resemblance might make old Mrs. Bagley, who had Alzheimer’s, feel more at ease.
From now on, let her come over frequently and keep old Mrs. Bagley company as Marlinie. Chatting with her might alleviate old Mrs. Bagley’s longing for her daughter and
her condition.
At this moment, old Mrs. Bagley was restlessly looking at the stage, eager to leave. She said, “Marlinie, Marlinie has left. We need to find Marlinie quickly, we must leave immediately”
Old Mr. Bagley snapped back to reality and quickly stopped old Mrs. Bagley from leaving. He comforted her, “Dear, Marlinie hasn’t left. She’s still here! Look over there, isn’t that Marlinie? She’s right here now!”
While saying this, old Mr. Bagley pointed at Patricia, who was sitting in the wheelchair for old Mrs. Bagley to see.
The old Mrs Bagley looked over, and her restless gaze fell on Patricia’s face, frowning and staring at her for a while.
Then, possibly because Patricia’s clothes were vastly different from the performers, old Mrs. Bagley didn’t come closer but instead backed away, “No, no, it’s not her.”
Seeing old Mrs. Bagley backing away instead of coming forward, old Mr. Bagley felt puzzled, and his worries deepened, “Dear, what’s going on? Didn’t you just say you wanted to see Marlinie?”
