Sir Your Wife Already Signed the Divorce Paper by Josie Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Can’t Have Both

“Imogen, what happened to your head? How did you get hurt? Is it serious?” Henry looked at the bandage on Imogen’s head, very concerned.

Imogen quickly shook her head. “Grandpa, don’t worry, it was just an accidental bump, not

serious.”

Her vision was just slightly blurred, which was not a big deal.

“That’s good. You’re still young, so you must take care of your health. Don’t be like me. I’m not in good shape and can’t hold on for much longer,” Henry said weakly.

“No, Grandpa, please don’t say that. Your health will definitely improve, and you will live a long and healthy life.” Imogen’s tears swirled in her eyes.

“Why are you crying like child? Hey, there’s no need to cry.” Henry gently wiped away the tears from Imogen’s face.

“I won’t cry as long as you’re fine,” Imogen sobbed in a hoarse voice.

“Imogen, my dear. I’m an old man, and everyone will reach this stage eventually. I’m already prepared for this day to come. I’m not afraid, and I hope you won’t be afraid either, okay?” Imogen bit her lip, her smile heavy as if it weighed a ton, and she finally buried her face in the blanket and cried loudly.

She knew very well that everyone would face this stage in life.

Her grandparents and her father all passed away. Imogen had been through a lot, so she wasn’t willing to accept this fact.

How could she accept that her beloved grandfather was about to leave her as well?

“Good girl, don’t cry.” Henry affectionately stroked Imogen’s head.

Troy stepped forward and helped Imogen up, whispering, “Don’t cry, Imogen. Grandpa is fine now.”

Imogen stopped crying, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve. “I’m such a fool. Grandpa is fine. Why am I crying? I should be smiling.”

Troy looked at her forced smile, pursing his lips and gently wiping the tears from her face.

“Troy, Imogen, it’s just the three of us here. Let’s have a heart–to–heart talk. Are you planning to get divorced today? If it wasn’t for my sudden illness, would you have already divorced?” Henry

asked.

Imogen and Troy exchanged glances.

“Don’t try to hide things from me. Although I’m old, I’m not senile. I know what you’re thinking. Whatever is in your hearts, I know all of it.”

Tears brimmed in Imogen’s eyes, and her vision was

“Sorry, Grandpa, I disappointed you completely blurred.

“Imogen, don’t cry. I’m very concerned about you. I know that you appear strong and brave on the surface, but deep down, you’re the timidest.”

Henry was right. Deep down, she was timid, cowardly, insecure, sensitive, and she didn’t even dare to let Troy know that she liked him.

She feared being laughed at, rejected, and losing everything. So, she acted like she didn’t care about anything, as if that was the only way to avoid getting hurt.

She seemed indifferent to everything because she had nothing to lose.

“Troy, I know that you want to be with Sarah. I can’t selfishly ruin your whole life, so I just hope you can agree to one thing.”

“Grandpa, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will promise you,” Troy assured solemnly.

“I hope that you can try to get along well with Imogen. If, after my death, you still decide to divorce, I will tell your grandma in advance. She won’t stop you. Can you do it?”

Troy looked at Imogen, who was sobbing uncontrollably. He swallowed and then nodded. “I promise. From now on, I will try to get along well with Imogen.”

“Imogen, what about you?”

“Me too. I promise to try to get along with Troy.”

“Good. That’s good. I’m relieved now.” Henry’s face showed a relieved smile. “It’s so late, and I’ve kept you awake. Go back to rest. I’m a bit tired too.”

He had just woken up after surgery, and it wasn’t easy for him to stay awake for so long.

“Grandpa, go to sleep. I’ll be here with you. I’ll leave after you fall asleep.”

“Okay, good girl.”

Henry fell asleep soon.

Troy gestured silently to Imogen, but she couldn’t see.

He could only lightly tap her shoulder and point to the door.

Imogen slowly stood up and followed Troy to the door.

Troy softly said, “You should go back to rest.”

Imogen looked at his hazy face. “What about you? You’ve stayed up until now. Shouldn’t you rest too?”

“I’ve already called Leo. He’ll come over soon. Once he’s here, I’ll come find you.”

“Okay, then I’ll go to rest.”

“I’ll walk you up.”

As Imogen entered the room, she asked Troy, “Do you want me to leave the door open?”

“Okay. I’ll come over soon.”

“Alright.”

Imogen lay down on the bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep. She tossed and turned, and her mind heavy with sorrow.

Thinking about Henry’s condition, her heart ached even more.

And the matter that Henry had asked Troy to promise, he had sacrificed his life to give her and Troy a chance to get along sincerely

-She felt unworthy of such treatment.

If it were the other way around and she could prevent Henry’s death by breaking up with Troy, she would definitely cut ties with Troy without hesitation.

But there were no “ifs.”

Things in the world were difficult to balance.

Faint footsteps echoed in the corridor and stopped at her ward.

Chapter 54 Can’t Have Both

Troy pushed open the door quietly, walked to her bed, and asked softly, “Haven’t you fallen asleep yet?”

“No. I can’t sleep.”

Troy used the private bathroom in the ward and freshened himself up. Then, he took off his coat and got into the bed. “Go to sleep.”

“Okay.”

They tacitly didn’t mention anything about Henry.

Imogen closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

When it was almost dawn, Imogen was awakened by a ringtone.

She reached for her phone but then put her hand back.

That wasn’t her ringtone.

Troy picked up the phone on the bedside table and got off the bed.

Imogen thought he was going to answer the call outside, but he just stood by the window, looking at the view. “Hello, Sarah.”

“Troy, I had a nightmare. Can you come and see me?”

“Sorry, Sarah, if you’re scared, let Ylah keep you company. Grandpa is sick, and I have to stay at the hospital with him. I can’t come over.”

“Huh? Grandpa is sick? Is it serious? I remember Grandpa was really nice to me before. Can I go see him?”

Troy fell silent, then glanced at Imogen on the bed.

Imogen quickly averted her gaze and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Clearly, she had been caught by Troy.

He covered the phone’s microphone and asked Imogen, “Sarah wants to come and see Grandpa. What do you think?”

Imogen’s failed attempt at pretending to sleep forced her to open her eyes and prop herself up, looking at him. “I don’t think it’s appropriate. Grandpa just had surgery yesterday, and his condition isn’t very stable yet. Moreover, I think the last person Grandpa wants to see right now is her. If she really wants to come, we should wait until Grandpa is transferred to a regular ward.” “I was thinking the same thing.”

Troy put the phone back to his ear. “Sorry, Sarah, it’s not possible right now. Maybe in the future, I’ll arrange for you to come. Also, I won’t have time to see you these days.”

“Troy, are you leaving me? I had a nightmare about that day, and it was so terrifying. I dreamt I was locked in a dark room, shouting and crying, but no one could hear me. They hit and scolded me, and…”

“Sarah, if you’re scared, you should see a psychologist.”

“I just wanted you to come and keep me company…”

“Sarah, are you trying to make me choose between you and Grandpa?”

“I didn’t mean that.”

“Even if you didn’t mean it, I want to make this clear to you. Between you and Grandpa, I will always choose Grandpa, understand?”

“I understand… Troy, please don’t abandon me. I promise I’ll listen to you and see a doctor.”

“Okay.”

Troy hung up the phone, quickly put on his clothes, and said to Imogen, “I’m going downstairs to check on Grandpa. You can rest a bit more.”

“Sure, okay,” Imogen replied drowsily, about to fall back asleep.

A while later, Troy came back upstairs. “Grandpa hasn’t woken up yet. Agnes is by his side.”

Troy took off his coat and got back on the bed. “We can take another nap.”

Imogen dozed for another half–hour before getting up, washing up, and joining Troy to visit Henry’s room.

At the door, they could hear voices inside.

Upon closer listening, they recognized that the speakers were Layla, who had come early from the old mansion, and Leo’s wife, Agnes.

As Imogen entered the room, Troy held her hand and walked in beside her.

“Grandma, Agnes.”

Upon entering the room, Imogen and Troy greeted them.

“You’re here. Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?” Layla said.

“We couldn’t fall asleep. How’s Grandpa doing?” Imogen glanced inside the room.

“He’s still sleeping. You guys probably haven’t had breakfast yet. Go get something to eat. We don’t need so many people here.”

“Okay, Grandma, Agnes, then we’ll go grab breakfast first.”

Troy led Imogen out of the room.

He turned to her. “Should I have food brought up, or…”

“No need to bother. Let’s just go to the hospital cafeteria.”

“The cafeteria might be crowded, and you can’t see well. It’s better if you go back to the room first. I’ll go buy us some food.”

“Sounds good.”

Troy escorted Imogen back to the room, then went to the hospital cafeteria and brought back two breakfasts to share with Imogen.
