Henry didn't care that there was no one in the palace at the moment. Lies came at the drop of a hat. Sophie couldn't be allowed to see the old king.
With that, he pushed John and asked him to help cover up the lie.
John finally reacted and said, "Yes, your maternal grandfather was hurt by his family. That's why he doesn't want to see us."
Sophie knew they were lying, of course, and admired them for lying so freely, as if her maternal grandfather really wasn't dead.
Annie took her hand. "You don't have to worry. Someone is taking care of your grandfather. Didn't you bring your husband and son back with you?"
She wasn't trying to sound her out. She really wanted to see her daughter's child.
Unfortunately, Sophie only had doubts about her. She smiled and said, "The child is still young and didn't want to come. But he can't bear to part with his parents, so Gao Tian stayed behind to take care of the child."
