Chapter 115 Grandchildren And finally, there was a knock on the door. Julian almost went berserk. Annalise blushed and burled her head in the pillow.
Julian did not want to care about who was outside the door, but it was a loud knock. A servantâs voice sounded, âYoung Master, Master Samuel has asked for you and Mrs. Parks. Heâll be in the living room downstairs. He has something urgent to inform you.â
Julian flew into a rage âWhat urgent matter? Isnât Grandpa already asleep?â He hoped that the servant had made a mistake so that he could continue enjoying the night.. Everything had felt so wonderful. It was so wonderful that he would have died a happy man.
âMaster Samuel is up. It seems like someone suddenly fell ill, and he is very anxious now. He wanted to come upstairs, but I was faster, so he let me come up here instead. Young Master, please hurry over with Mrs. Parks. It really is urgent. Master Samuel is very anxious,â the servant spoke nervously. âWait!
Julian was furious. He was so close to getting what he wanted. Right then, his gaze could kill.
âAnnie, letâs go down.â Julian immediately gave Annalise her clothes back. Only then did Annalise realize that she was undressed. She wanted to wrap herself in a blanket and put on her clothes, but when she took her clothes, the blanket slipped. She was stark naked.
Julianâs eyes widened. His gaze was starting to look strange again. He really did not want to get out of bed. âGrandpaâs matter is more important,â Annalise said with a red face. âOkay,â Julian replied. In his heart, he was already cursing. The two of them quickly dressed and went downstairs.
When Samuel saw them, he did not ask for Julian immediately. Instead, he looked at Annalise.
âAnnalise, Professor Woods is your older brother, right? Cassandra had suddenly fallen ill, and the family doctor was helpless. Iâve already asked them to send her to Metropolis Hospital for urgent treatment. Can you call Jonathan and ask him to look after her?â
Samuel could look for Ben Chase, the director of Metropolis Hospital, but since Jonathan and Annalise knew one another, he would be more at ease if Annalise asked Jonathan for help. After all, it was late.
If Samuel looked for Ben, he could still reject Samuel.
âIâll call him right away,â Annalise said immediately. Cassandra had treated her quite well in the past, so she should make this call. She immediately called John and asked him to take a look at Julianâs aunt, Cassandra.
Jonathan nagged on the phone. âFuck, are you messing with me? Itâs so late at night. Your sister-in-law just came back from overseas today. I just took a shower and havenât had any yet. Canât you wait a little longer?â
Annalise was speechless as she listened to John cursing. âCan you not overshare? Iâm still underage, okay? Her situation is urgent. Youâre going to have to do it.â
âUnderage? With Julianâs figure, you must be having it at least three times a night⦠Pfft. Enough about this. Your sister-in-law will twist my ears off. Fine, Iâll go now. Seriously, tell your husband to remember my favor and treat you better. Otherwise, Iâll dig up old debts and take him down. Iâm hanging up. Iâll be going to the hospital nowâ Jonathan hung up. Annalise did not know whether to laugh or cry. âJulian, letâs rush to the hospital, too,â Samuel said. Julian was speechless.
He was having a rough day. He still didnât manage to get any this time. But Cassandra was the person who doted on him the most, besides Samuel. Although there would not be a big problem with Jonathan holding down the fort, he should still go and take a look.
He complained, âYou must not want those grandchildren anymore.â âWhat?â Samuel did not hear what Julian said. âNothing Letâs go,â Julian said. But Annalise heard Julianâs words just now. Did he plan to have children? She looked forward to having children, even more than most women.
When she was eighteen, she had already known that she would have to get married before she had any children. Moreover, she would only have children if her family was healthy and happy. That way, her children would grow up happy Their parents would love them so much. âAnnie, sleep well. Donât wait for me.â Julian said. Annalise was speechless. But his words sounded very ambiguous. It was as if she still had to wait for him to return and continue where they had left off.
âWhy would I wait for you?â she said. After saying that, she felt something was wrong. Those words sounded like she was rejecting him but wanted him at the same time. It felt as if she wanted to say something else, but not really. It was very flirtatious.
Her ears turned red again. Seeing Julian smile at her, she could not help but reach out and pinch his arm. She said. âLetâs go and see her together. If she needs to undergo surgery, I can also help.â
âAlright, alright.â Samuel knew that Annaliseâs medical skills were good, so he immediately agreed.
They hurried to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Cassandra was in the middle of a preoperative examination. Ben had personally led a team of experts to check her condition. However, because it was late, there were only two experts on the team. Moreover, one of them had rushed over only because he lived nearby.
Jonathan had just called Ben. There was a traffic jam, and he was still parking his car downstairs.
Knowing that Jonathan was about to arrive, Ben felt much more at ease.
He told Samuel that the patient had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. After the preoperative examination, she would have to undergo immediate surgery. With Professor Woods performing the surgery, there should be no problem.
After learning Cassandra had a cerebral hemorrhage, Julian and Annaliseâs expressions became solemn. Cerebral hemorrhage was a serious condition. She had to undergo a craniotomy. Jonathan was a surgical expert, and his rate of success was guaranteed. However, no one knew the extent of her cerebral hemorrhage. In the case of severe bleeding, it would be difficult for even the most talented doctor to treat it. âLetâs hope for the best. Donât worry too much.â Annalise held Julianâs hand.
A few doctors were pushing a bed over. Cassandra was lying on it. On either side were her two sons, their wives, and her four grandsons. There was also her granddaughter, Jane. Everyone looked extremely solemn. Jane must have cried. Her eyes were red. At this moment, Jonathan arrived.
Hearing that Jonathan had arrived, both of Cassandraâs sons immediately went up to him. âProfessor Woods, please treat her.â âChange your clothes and be iny assistant,â Jonathan said to Annalise. He did not have time to chat with the patientâs family.
When he was in the car earlier, he had been on the phone with Ben. He understood the patientâs situation. He knew that he had to perform the surgery immediately and race against time. If acupuncture could prove effective during the surgery, Anna could help him do it. Annalise and Julian looked at each other. Immediately, she followed Jonathan to change.
