Only when the Old Lady felt tired did she temporarily let go of Elly Campbell, and then as if something crossed her mind, she said:
"Right, go check on Helen, I heard from Gloria that she often saw that girl from the Ainley Clan loitering around Helen's hospital room, not knowing what she's scheming."
Though the Old Lady said she didn't know, in her heart she was clear as a mirror, having been young herself once. She understood the petty thoughts of young girls all too well.
It wasn't anything but the thought that Helen Melendy, now, was no different from a dead person; the Ainley Clan girl hoped by hanging around here more, Harry Hall might notice her, and over time, that's bound to make an impression on a man's heart.
The fact that Leanne Richards wanted Clarke Ainley to be her daughter-in-law was no secret, and of course, the Old Lady was well aware of that.
