Chapter 245 Investigate the Birthmark
Jude and Celia didn't notice the change in Oscar.
Jude argued, "How can you say that he's an enemy? Oscar is like this now, and we can't ignore him. We can't be petty about him, who is mentally disabled. This house is big enough; can't you tolerate a disabled person?"
"Jude, I think you've really lost your mind," Celia scolded. "You will regret it. He might be a wolf in sheep's clothing, like a father, like a son. One day, he might turn out just like Abbott's uncle."
"You're talking nonsense again. Oscar and Abbott's uncle are different." Jude defended and said, "Anyway, Oscar has to stay here. I can't just ignore him. Oscar is also Old Abbott's grandson. If you can't stand it, I can arrange for Oscar to stay in the back house. Is that okay?"
"That's up to you." Celia didn't want to argue with Jude over a disabled person, but she reminded him, "Keep an eye on him and don't cause any trouble. And he's not allowed in the front yard."
Jude smiled when he heard Celia's words, "Okay, I'll have someone watch him."
"Oscar, go to the backyard with me and take a bath and change your clothes." Jude smiled and led Oscar to the backyard.
Oscar didn't know how to bathe, but Jude taught him patiently and accompanied him during the process.
After the bath, Jude helped Oscar put on clothes, just like caring for a two or three-year-old child and guiding him patiently.
Oscar brushed his teeth and lay down on the bed. "Jude, I want to sleep."
"Okay, goodnight, Oscar," Jude said. He was relieved to see Oscar obediently going to sleep.
Oscar closed his eyes, covered himself with a blanket, and fell asleep.
Jude stayed by his side for a while before leaving.
Not long after Jude left, Oscar opened his eyes, devoid of his usual foolishness.
Oscar clenched his fist, a look of hatred crossing his eyes. He silently vowed to retrieve what belonged to him and seek revenge on Finnegan.
Oscar wasn't stupid; he only pretended to be in order to survive. If he hadn't acted dumb, Finnegan wouldn't have let him off so easily.
Just now, Jude treated him like a child, helping him bathe and get dressed. It made him feel uncomfortable, and he almost couldn't continue pretending.
The Japanese restaurant was bustling at lunchtime, with more customers than usual.
Ophe and Old Abbott were having a meal and chatting in a private room. Old Abbott was very happy and even wanted to try live streaming, just like the young people nowadays.
Old Abbott said, "I see that the young people love live streaming. I want to give it a try. Ophe, can you teach me how to livestream?"
Ophe laughed and asked, "Granny, what would you show?"
Those streamers all had talents.
After thinking for a moment, Old Abbott said, "How about live streaming the food? It might even bring more business to the restaurant. Ophe, what do you think?"
Ophe hadn't thought about this before and was amazed. "Granny, are you serious?"
"Of course," Old Abbott said, excited to try it out. She handed her phone to Ophe and said, "Help me set it up. Let's start live streaming now. I'll introduce the Japanese cuisine and chat with everyone."
Old Abbott didn't like being lonely. She always kept up with trends, whether it was fashion or food. She was no different from the young people.
Ophe thought Old Abbott was playing around, trying to have some fun. After all, she was an older adult, and it was good to keep her in a good mood. So, Ophe helped her open the app, create an account, and taught her step by step.
Old Abbott reminded her, "Use the beauty filter. Remember to use the beauty filter."
Ophe laughed and said, "Alright, I'll use the beauty filter for you."
Ophe opened the beauty filter, and Old Abbott looked even more beautiful on the screen.
Old Abbott had always been elegant, and she was also a beauty in her old age.
Old Abbott was delighted when she saw the enhanced appearance and told Ophe, "I was stunning when I was younger."
"Granny, I'm sure you were beautiful in your youth," Ophe said with certainty. "Shall I click start? Are you ready?"
"It's nothing," Old Abbott replied confidently. She was someone who had seen rough seas.
Ophe clicked start, and live streaming began.
At first, no one was in the live-streaming room. Old Abbott glanced around and asked, "Why is no one here?"
"Granny, don't worry, people will come soon. I'll have someone support you and create a lively atmosphere," Ophe said, sharing the live-streaming room with Finnegan and Caspian.
Finnegan saw the message and was puzzled. He quickly sent a few question marks and messaged Ophe: [Did Granny start a live streaming?]
[Yes, quickly join the stream for Grandma.] Ophe replied.
[She is having a great time. She may be old, but her spirit is young.]
Finnegan was lost for words.
Gradually, people started to join the live-streaming room, and Old Abbott began chatting with everyone.
At that moment, Addison walked over and said, "Ophe, someone is looking for you outside."
Ophe thought it might be Seraphina and went out, but it was Natalie.
