Chapter 192
Carter had just undergone a check–up, and the doctor removed his mask, sighing, “It’s a good thing we acted just in time, otherwise, his situation could’ve been dicey”
Carter had had heart surgery before, and although he was quite robust and had recovered well, he was getting on in years and had the typical old age issues. As he lay in bed, listening to the doctor, it seemed that today he owed his life to Allison
Zachary asked, “Doctor, how’s my father doing now?”
The doctor replied, “He needs to rest, but he’s out of the woods now”
Cora Lindberghh Hamilton also breathed a sigh of relief and together with Zachary, followed the doctor out to discuss details about Carter’s condition.
In the ward, there were also Lucian, Kamilla, and George, while Aldan was standing about two meters away from the bed with a cane.
Carter waved his hand, trying to shoo everyone away “Alright, alright, it’s not a big deal. You all can go home now”
None of the younger ones moved Kamilla blinked “Grandpa, you really scared us!”
Carter gently touched Kamilla’s hair and said, “Hey, I’m fine, aren’t I?”
Kamilla leaned over the bed, and Carter said, “Aidan, you’re not in the best shape, you should head home. I don’t need so many people here. You guys don’t all have to stick around”
Aidan nodded in agreement, saying. “Take care then ”
Carter said to Kamilla, ‘Kamilla, you should go home too. George, you take Kamilla home.”
Kamilla wiped away her tears. “Okay, grandpa, I’ll leave now and come see you tomorrow.”
George glanced at Lucian, told Carter to rest early, and then left with Kamilla.
In the ward, only Lucian and Carter were left.
Lucian sat down on the caregiver’s chair.
Seeing that Carter was unharmed, he also breathed a sigh of relief. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Lucian, I don’t know how much longer I can hang on. You should settle your wedding with Penelope soon, so I can hold my great–grandchild”
Lucian wasn’t sure why, but he felt a bit of resistance to the wedding It was as if he didn’t want to get married so soon. This feeling was strange. He didn’t have strong feelings for Penelope. If it weren’t for Penelope being pregnant, he might cancel the marriage and make it up to Penelope in other ways..
At this moment, looking at Carter lying on the sickbed, Carter seemed to be giving his last wishes.
Lucian’s lips were pressed into a line: “I understand, grandpa”
“As for Allison,” Carter started, ‘she saved me. If she ever needs something from us in the future, try to help her out as much as possible.”
Upon hearing Allison, Lucian’s heart involuntarily pounded. He replied in a low voice, “I understand.”
Penelope returned home and blew off some steam. Leah looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong? You had a good dinner, and now you’re throwing a tantrum at home.”
Penelope didn’t dare say that, she was somewhat afraid of Leah.
“It’s nothing”
Leah scolded her, “You need to work on your temper. You’re going to be a young lady soon.” She touched Penelope’s belly and said, “Don’t scare the baby. Your belly is the most precious thing now”
“I know”
“Mom, how’s Grace?”
“I stopped the medication for two days, and she couldn’t hold on. She had a rejection reaction and has been in a coma ever since.”
Penelope frowned. “What if Allison finds out? If she does, it’ll be hard to control what happens next. You don’t know Mom, don’t kill Grace.”
Leah said, “What are you afraid of? If she dies, it’s that bitch’s own fault!”
“Mom, keep Grace alive. That bitch Allison–if she really goes mad, we can’t control her. I’ve mentioned the wedding to Lucian several times, but Lucian has never given a clear response. I’m afraid they want to take a DNA test first. Once the baby in my belly is born, they’ll check to see if it’s Lucian’s!
