Chapter 43

Chapter 43 We Won’t Divorce Nancy wanted to comfort Nicholas, but she couldn’t even calm herself.

Her tears fell on Nicholas’ shirt.

Perhaps she cried a lot and quickly soaked his bandage and wound..

The wounds on Nicholas’ back soon smudged red, and the blood seeped through his white shirt.

However, no one had time to care about it.

They waited a long time until the lights in the emergency room turned off, and the doctor came.

out.

Everyone ran forward quickly.

Nicholas spoke first, “Doctor, how is Grandpa?”

He was always calm, but now his voice was trembling.

Nancy’s eyes were red, and she hardly dared to listen to the doctor’s explanation.

However, the cruelest moment was yet to come.

The doctor removed his mask, looked at them seriously, and finally said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Sallow. We did our best. Please have a proper farewell with Mr. Jacob!”

Nancy staggered, and she couldn’t bear it any longer. She cried loudly.

How did this happen?’

‘How?”

‘Grandpa was okay in the morning, and it’s only been a few hours. Why did everything change?”

She couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe it, no matter what.

The atmosphere in the ward was tranquil.

Jacob was wearing a ventilator and lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.

Everyone stood by the hospital bed, waiting for him to wake up.

However, before Jacob woke up, an unexpected guest arrived.

The woman had applied heavy makeup, adorned herself with bright red lipstick, extended her 1/5 artificial nails, wore high heels, and donned a coordinated red dress.

Even though Nancy had never seen her before, she could guess who that woman was.

Maybe it was the woman her father-in-law was having an affair with..

“Why are you here?” Albert ran over angrily.

The woman said sadly, “Dad is hospitalized and in danger. As his daughter-in-law, of course, I have to come to visit him.”

She completely disregarded Sarah when she bluntly used the word “daughter-in-law”.

“Go back immediately. I don’t want to see you again.” Albert looked impatient.

Just as the woman wanted to speak, suddenly, Nicholas walked over.

He glanced at the bodyguards around him and said coldly, “Drag this woman out and find a place to lock her up. No one can let her out without my permission.”

While he spoke, he looked at Albert.

Albert didn’t object, so it means that he agreed.

That woman was dissatisfied. When she wanted to resist, the bodyguard covered her lips and dragged her out.

When she went out, Jacob opened his eyes slightly and woke up.

Seeing Jacob wake up, several people gathered around him.

Nancy and Sarah held his hand gently.

“Grandpa...”

“Dad...”

They spoke at the same time.

Jacob first looked at the few people around him and then at the ceiling above his head.

Then he felt relieved as if he understood everything.

“Grandpa, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?” Nancy asked first.

Jacob nodded “Yeah”

Nancy Immediately went to pour a glass of warm water, brought it to the bed, and then fed Jacob 2/5 little by little with a straw.

After drinking the water, Jacob looked at them seriously and said calmly, “Don’t be sad. When people get old, they will always reach this point. I have mentally prepared myself, so I’m not afraid.”

“Nicholas, please take Nancy out. I have something to say to your parents.”

“Okay.”

Although reluctant, Nancy still left the ward with Nicholas.

However, just outside the ward...

Nancy met a person she least wanted to see.

Madelline hurried over, pushing the wheelchair.

When she saw Nicholas, she was panicking and highly nervous.

“Nicholas, how is Grandpa? As soon as I got the news, I came right away.”

“How do you know?” Nancy glanced at her, and then her eyes landed on Nicholas.

Madelline knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained, “Nancy, don’t get me wrong. Nicholas didn’t tell me. One of my friends who was in this hospital told me.”

“Really?” Nancy still suspects her.

“Do you think I’m so unreasonable?” Nicholas asked Only then did Nancy believe them.

But then, she looked at Madelline, “I don’t care how you knew it and if you came to see Grandpa sincerely or were just pretending. Madelline, listen to me, push your wheelchair, and leave immediately.”

Madelline bit her lip and looked at Nancy softly, “Nancy, I mean... well, I know Grandpa doesn’t like me, but I never blamed Grandpa. Is it wrong that I want to see him?”

“You knew Grandpa doesn’t like you, but you still come here shamelessly. Madelline, what are you thinking about?” Nancy suddenly shouted.

She never gets mad.

Others thought that Nancy was a quiet, soft, and weak person.

This outburst shocked Madelline 3/5 Seeing that Nancy didn’t let her in, Madelline looked at Nicholas again, “Nicholas, please, don’t drive me away. Grandpa is seriously ill. I want to send him on his last journey. I promise I won’t trouble you anymore...”

Before Madelline could finish her sentence, Nancy suddenly slapped her face.

Her mind was blank. Madelline just raised her head, but she still hadn’t reacted..

Suddenly, another slap fell hard on the other side of her face.

There were two clear palm marks on Madelline’s face, which were obvious.

“Madelline, what do you mean? Who said this is Grandpa’s last journey? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!”

“Get out of here right now!”

“If you don’t leave, I’ll have someone throw you out.”

Nancy was furious.

Madelline has never seen Nancy like this.

Not only her, but Nicholas has never seen it either.

He knew she was worried and cared about Grandpa, but he didn’t expect Nancy to worry deeply for him.

Usually, no matter how angry she was, she had never been so out of control.

But today, like a ferocious tiger, she stretched out her sharpest claws and opened her bloody. mouth.

“Nicholas...” Madelline trembled and turned her last hope to Nicholas.

“Get lost now!” Nancy shouted.

Nicholas didn’t speak.

Under Nancy’s glaring gaze, Madelline slid into her wheelchair and left in embarrassment.

In the ward, Jacob smiled happily, “Nancy finally lost her temper once, and it was because of me. I’m delighted”

“After I leave, I’m most worried about Nancy. You must swear that no matter what happens in the future, you will take care of her.”

“As for the divorce proceedings, I believe they haven’t finalized them today. It would be best if 4/5 you tried to stop them. I hope my grandson and granddaughter-in-law can grow old and spend this life together.”

“Okay, go and call Nicholas in,” Jacob instructed.

“Dad...” Albert and Sarah shouted reluctantly at the same time.

“Don’t worry. I won’t die until I explain everything.

Soon, Nicholas came in to meet Jacob.

His eyes were red and became moist..

He stretched his hand, held Jacob tightly, and mustered great courage before speaking, “Grandpa, I’m here.”

“I won’t beat around the bush. I had only one wish for you. Can you fulfill my “Grandpa, just say it.”

wish?”

“After I passed away, I was most concerned about Nancy. So, please, don’t divorce her. Take good care of her, protect her, love her. Can you do that, Nicholas?”
