After Serena Jennings healed her leg injury, she drove to Serene Meadows Nursing Home.
Audrey Jennings was watering flowers on the window sill. Seeing Serena arrive, she smiled happily.
"Serena, look, our roses are blooming so well."
Serena awkwardly forced a smile and replied, "Yes, it’s all thanks to Mom for taking good care of them."
But these flowers were actually fake, plastic flowers.
Serena knew Audrey was sometimes clear-minded and sometimes confused. She sat down to chat with Audrey, and during the conversation, Audrey brought up Caleb Lockwood.
"Caleb is really a good kid. Last time when I got lost, if it weren’t for him finding me, I might have starved on the streets!"
"What?"
Serena was stunned.
She looked at Audrey and couldn’t see any difference in Audrey’s expression from when she was watering the fake flowers.
"Mom, you remembered wrong. Last time you got lost, the police found you."
Serena was hospitalized at the time, and she wasn’t clear on the details. But it should’ve been the police who found Audrey.
At least no one had told her Caleb found Audrey, and Caleb himself had never said so.
"No, I wouldn’t remember wrong. It was Caleb." Audrey’s tone was certain.
Serena didn’t bother arguing with her mom.
Audrey was a patient, sometimes clear-minded, sometimes confused, blending different memories together, and treating her imagination as reality.
So Audrey’s words couldn’t be fully trusted.
At least regarding this matter, Serena didn’t believe Audrey.
They chatted for a while longer, and Serena realized Audrey loved talking about Caleb. She kept praising his filial piety and excellence.
In fact, only when mentioning Caleb did Audrey’s eyes light up.
"Serena, I miss Caleb. Can you ask him to come see me? By the way, why didn’t you come with him? You know, last time I ran out was because I dreamt you and Caleb divorced, and it scared me terribly..."
Chased by Audrey’s questions, Serena felt guilty and didn’t know how to answer.
Her mom might be the person who least wanted her to divorce.
Even if she told her mom Caleb had someone he liked, and that person wasn’t her.
"Serena, is there really a problem between you and Caleb?"
Audrey took hold of Serena’s hand.
Audrey’s hand was cold.
Serena sighed, pulled out her phone, and dialed Caleb’s number.
The phone rang a few busy tones and was answered.
"Hello, Caleb..."
"Caleb isn’t in the office."
It was a woman’s voice from the receiver.
This voice was not unfamiliar to Serena.
Claire Shaw laughed softly seeing Serena silent.
"What’s wrong, surprised to hear me?"
"..."
"Serena, I don’t understand you. You insist publicly on divorcing Caleb, yet secretly you call him... You’re almost divorced. I advise you to have some dignity, keep your face, and stop calling a man who’s about to be someone else’s husband."
Claire hung up the phone right after speaking, and it was then Caleb pushed open the office door.
It was a ring.
