Louis saw the solemnity in his cousin's eyes, and his eyes were thick with worry, but he smiled andwent over to place his hand on the latter's shoulder.
"Grandma's situation is complicated now, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Martha's brows knitted slightly. She glanced sideways at Louis, with confusion in her eyes.
Louis sighed helplessly, "You'll understand what I mean in a minute."
Martha nodded gently and followed Louis into the castle.
When Martha followed Louis in, the Lucas family was sitting at a long table waiting for the two ofthem to appear.
The Lucas were dressed in the formal attire of attending a family dinner, with serious faces lookingin the direction of the two just walked in.

Martha felt the old Mrs. Lucas's hot gaze, turned her head to look at her in dismay.
She had thought how fierce and angry the old Mrs. Lucas would be, but never thought the old manwould look like this.
Louis, who was standing next to her, obviously saw the shock of the woman beside her, and after asilent sigh, spoke softly to explain.
"Martha, the person sitting in the host's seat is Grandma, and she's not well."
Louis said so, but in fact, the way he looked at Martha was clearly implying that Grandma turned tobe like this because of something else.

She thought of this in her mind, and then looked at the old Mrs. Lucas's appearance, unconsciouslyreddened her eyes.

Martha nodded to her three uncles and said with a smile, "Hello uncles, my name is Martha Doyle."
No sooner had her words been finished than Daisy's mocking voice sounded.
"I'm not sure if you're the Lucas. Do you have any proof to prove you're one of us?"
Martha heard these words, her eyebrows frowned unnoticeably, looking at Daisy and thinking.
'That's Daisy, the daughter of the eldest uncle, who seems to be brainless.'
