Chapter 620

Grandma’s situation was much worse than Diana initially expected.

Yet Grandma wasn’t warded despite the severity of her condition.

That could only mean two possibilities: either there was no need to hospitalize Grandma for emergency treatment, or there were too many patients and the wards were full.

Given the Fulcher’s power and status, it was clearly not the latter.

Even if the hospital was bursting at the seams, it wasn’t much of a stretch for the hospital to create another wing within a short period of time.

It could only be the former.

Diana could no longer hold her tears back.

Even so, she tried her best to inch closer to Grandma.

Julian could sense the severity of the situation, and panic seized him like never before. He instinctively tightened his grip over Diana’s hand.

Diana squeezed his hand back.

Thankfully, at this point when their loved one was on the verge of death, they had each other to share their fears and sorrows.

But in the face of their loved one, no matter how much comfort they could derive from each other, sorrow came gushing over them, swallowing them up and drowning them so thoroughly they could hardly breathe.

They drew closer to Grandma.

With each step, they felt increasingly suffocated.

Even though they were not professional medical staff, they could tell that Grandma was like a fish on dry land.

She did not have much life left in her.

Her lips were no longer just pale, but were purplish in color, which clearly told of severe heart issues.

In other words, what Grandma claimed about putting on an act before Hans was a lie.

What was even more laughable was the fact that Diana had believed Grandma’s words!

Diana wanted to give herself a tight slap.

Just then, Grandma saw the look on Diana’s face, and lifted her arm with all her might to touch Diana’s face as ache filled the latter’s heart.

Diana’s heart grew tender upon seeing the look on Grandma’s face. She forgot all about crying as she knelt down and grabbed Grandma’s hand, placing her palm on her cheeks. “Grandma, I’m here, I’m here.”

She called out to Grandma again and again, as if crying out to the latter’s soul.

A look of happiness flashed past Grandma’s eyes as she opened her mouth, trying to respond.

Yet, she couldn’t make a sound.

Tears fell down Diana’s cheeks.

She knew she shouldn’t be crying now, as that would only make Grandma sad and worsen the old woman’s condition.

Despite that, she couldn’t hold herself back.

She looked up and saw Julian lying on his bed, his eyes turning red around the rim.

“I won.” Grandma held Diana’s hand back, a small smile creeping up her lips. Even at this point, she didn’t want her grandchildren worrying about her and being sad for her.

Diana could tell what she was mouthing, and was wracked with sobs.

Grandma won, indeed.

On the other hand, she had used her life in exchange for a lie and paid such a huge price in order for Diana to finally see Julian’s love for her.

If Diana hadn’t been so foolish as to not see Julian’s heart for her, thereby making Grandma, who was already experiencing great physical discomfort, so worried about their relationship, would that have made things better?

Diana had to stop herself from overthinking things.

The more she thought, the less she was able to control her tears, which were falling like pearls from a broken necklace.

She knew that given Grandma’s condition right now, the latter didn’t have much time left on Earth.

The pain of losing her babies came crashing over Diana once more. That gut-wrenching agony was akin to someone snatching away something very important to her, and something in her snapped.

She began sobbing so uncontrollably that she almost couldn’t breathe.

Grandma, on the other hand, kept smiling at Diana. Her hand, still in Diana’s, caressed Diana’s cheeks ever so gently. She truly didn’t have much energy left.

She could hardly touch Diana’s cheeks properly.

She had done everything she could to last till now.

She was running out of time.

She gradually shifted her eyes away toward Julian, and opened her mouth. “Ju…Julian…”

Diana immediately moved away so Grandma had a direct view of Julian.

But the next moment, Grandma mouthed, “Serves you right!”

Diana never expected to see Grandma reprimand Julian like that, despite seeing him in his current injured state.

Serves him right for abandoning such an amazing woman like Diana and getting himself involved with the likes of Kayla Winnington!

Diana fully understood where Grandma was coming from.
