Chapter 547 My Great-granddaughter (2/2)
The only people who were staying there were the elderly, and most of their great-grandchildren were significantly older than her.
”I specially requested this one from mommy because I wanted to give it to my great-grandfather as a present.”
Sally batted her big innocent eyes as she came up to him.
Looking at her great-grandfather, who seemed to have lost a bit of color in his face but nevertheless still quite amiable and kind, Sally explained.
”Oh? You picked this one especially for me? That means I certainly need to take it then. Come on, sweetheart, would you be so kind as to let this old
e up with a name years ago. It's... Oh, look at me. Why can't I think of the name now?”
Nicholas exclaimed as he racked his brains to remember the name he chose. As he was doing that, he gently rubbed his grey hair. If it were a girl, then he would have wanted to call her...
”Oh, I think I've already forgotten what it was. How about Sandra? We can name her Sandra. I hope she can live a happy life, free of problems and hardships.”
A smile appeared on Carla's face and she nodded in agreement, ”Sandra An, Sandra... It has such a nice ring to it.”
”Carla, you must have had to endure a lot during these past four years.”
Nicholas looked at Carla who seemed a bit emaciated, asking with great concern.
Carla quickly shook her head trying to reassure him, ”It's alright, grandpa. It's all in the past now. Don't think too much about it, I didn't really suffer that much. I was able to meet such a nice family. They let me into their household and I experienced living such a peaceful life throughout those four years.”
”... Oh, is that so? That's good to hear. One good deed deserves another, Carla. Those children you saved back then would definitely feel grateful to you.”
When he heard her say that she didn't suffer a lot, Nicholas felt a sense of relief and gave her a pat on the back of her hand.

Watching all of this, Terence went ahead and asked the nurse to bring in two low stools for them to use.
Holding out his hand toward Carla who had been squatting next to Nicholas, he said, ”Babe, go sit on this while you talk with Grandpa.”
Pulling her over to the stool, he went on and added, ”We found out that their father is still missing and the mother had already passed away, so I would have to put them up for adoption. I'm planning to mentor those children in the future. Who knows? Maybe they can even work at our company.”
Since Carla had put her life on the line to save those children, Terence thought it would just be right to look after them. It was only by doing this that he could be sure that Carla's effort wouldn't be put to waste.
