Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 914
The sun rose and set, and a glimmer of light glinted on the horizon.
Emily came out of the bedroom and tidied up the sleeves of her shirt. Anthea, who leaned against the window of the living room, looked over at her. After looking up and down, Anthea raised her eyebrows and asked, 'Are you going to wear this set of clothes?"
"Yes! Why ask?" Emily nodded.
Anthea blinked her eyes. "Emily, aren't you going to see your fiance's parents today? Since it's the first time to visit them, don't you think your dress is... too casual? Would you like me to replace you two dresses with flowers patterns, they will make you shine!"
The sudden return of Calvin disturbed her routine.
If the marriage was put on the agenda, she would not be able to return to Country S for the time being. In this way, she needed to apply for a wedding leave like him.
Emily looked down at herself. She wore a light beige shirt, a pair of light tan loose trousers, with a very thin belt around her waist for decoration. Her dress was simple and casual.
She shook her head. "No, I think I look good now!"
Upon hearing this, Anthea shrugged and picked up the small purse on the sofa. "Well, let's go. Your fiance has been waiting downstairs eagerly!"
Emily asked in surprise, "Calvin is here?"
She walked to the window and looked down. Indeed, she saw a figure standing there, which was in line with Calvin's gentlemanly style. He came so early and did not make a call to urge her. Instead, he just waited patiently downstairs.
Anthea and Emily went downstairs and came out of the building hall.
There was a brown BMW car parked next to Calvin, and he was leaning against the car, behind which was the rosy sunset. Such a scene made her fall into a trance. She remembered that lethargic figure waiting for her when she came out of the office building at dusk...
In a daze, she had already walked down the steps.
Calvin walked to her quickly and his eyes were bright. "Emily, you look so beautiful today!"
"Thank you!" Emily came to her senses and smiled.
Without noticing Anthea, who came down with Emily, Calvin took the initiative to ask, "Miss Lee, where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"I'm not going to be a third wheel. You two can stay alone. I'll go back to the hospital and be on duty. I'll drive by myself!" Anthea waved her hand and pointed to an Audi Al not far away.
After they waved goodbye to each other, they all got into the cars and drove out of the apartment area.
Because it was a visit, they went to the supermarket halfway to buy some gifts and nutrition products.
Calvin put the things he had bought in the trunk. After closing it, Calvin looked at her and gently asked, "Emily, will you be nervous?"
Emily said, "I'm fine!"
Calvin came over to hold her hand and considerately comforted her. "Don't worry, it's not the first time for you to see them. Don't feel nervous and stressed. They like you very much!"
"Okay." Emily nodded and bent over to get into the car when he opened the door for her.
When they got out of the underground parking lot and met the signal light, the phone rang.
It was Anthea who called her. Emily was a little surprised and puzzled. She picked it up and asked about it.
In the line, Anthea said quickly, "Emily, Dr. Chin's grandmother has passed away!" "Ah?" Emily's eyes widened in shock.
Anthea continued to say seriously, "It seems to have happened in the early morning. I heard about it when I just arrived at the hospital. Many colleagues have gone to visit her! The specific condition is that the cancer cells spread all over her body and she stayed in the ICU for 24 hours, but in the end, there was no way to save her! Now her body has been sent to the mortuary!"
It was only after a long while that Emily came to her mind.
Emily still felt shocked...
A great pain rose from the bottom of her heart and spread infinitely to her limbs and bones, making her breathing a little difficult and rapid. Especially when she thought of her affectionate eyes, she was extremely grieved.
After opening her mouth, Emily asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Simon?"
Anthea answered uncertainly. "I didn't see him, but some people said that he was always in the mortuary..."
After hanging up the phone, Emily felt that something stuck in her throat. She looked vacantly at the traffic, and the repressed emotion in her chest was almost overwhelming her whole body.
Grandma...
She knew that she was terminally ill and returned to the hospital from the sanatorium when they just divorced. She also knew that there was no way to operate another operation on her. But she still couldn't accept such a piece of terrible news.
Beside her, Calvin saw her pale face and asked, "Emily, what's wrong?"
Emily turned to him stiffly and said, "Calvin, I'm sorry. I have something urgent to do and have to go to the hospital now. I can't go back with you today. Please apologize to your parents for me!"
"Well, it doesn't matter!" Calvin nodded. Although he didn't hear the conversation on the phone, he could tell from her words and expression that something serious must have happened. He naturally could understand it.
Calvin hurriedly said, "Emily, I'll drive you there..."
Before he could finish speaking, Emily had already unfastened her seatbelt, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. Regardless of the danger, she shuttled through the traffic and ran to the opposite in the blink of an eye.
It was too late for Calvin to stop her. The signal light changed in front, so he had to drive the car forward.
From the rearview mirror, he couldn't see her slender figure. Thinking of her pale face and shocked expression just now, he realized that the person they
talked about on the phone was...
Her ex-husband's grandmother?
Emily got out of the taxi and ran to the hospital.
The mortuary was in the medical technical building. She opened the door of the safe passage and came out. From a distance, he saw Simon sitting in a chair in the corridor. He still wore his white gown. His body was slightly hunched, and he buried her face in his hands.
He was still here...
The sunset glow outside was about to fade away. From the early morning till now, he had not left!
Emily watched that he remained motionless like a statue. Even from a distance, she could feel that every muscle on his body was stiff, and a long shadow of him was cast on the ground. Swallowing her saliva, she slowly walked over.
Finally, after standing in front of him, Emily opened and closed her mouth several times before she said tentatively, "Simon..."
It seemed that the person on the chair did not hear her and he didn't react at all.
Emily called him twice more, and then he seemed to hear it. Like the slow-motion scenes in the old
movies, he slowly raised his head.
The pair of eyes were not bright at all. They were bloodshot as if it would dye his eyes into dark red. Meanwhile, there was an unspeakable confusion on his face.
His Adam's apple bobbed and he said in a hoarse voice, "Emily, you're here."
The grief surged up in Emily's heart all of a sudden
