Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 915
"Grandma, she..."
When Emily called grandma like this, she was in an ecstasy of grief. And she could only say this to comfort Simon. "Simon, I'm sorry for your loss!"
Simon looked at his hands and said feebly, "When I went to the ward to see her yesterday morning, she was still able to talk and smile, and was in good spirits. She talked to me for a long time, but not long after I left, she suddenly fell ill! The attending doctor had been saving her for hours, and I thought she could get through it. But she still left the world forever at five o'clock this morning..."
Five years ago, grandma accepted an operation because of cancer. Later, she recovered well and had stayed in the sanatorium for many years. However, a year ago, it was found that there were new cancer cells spreading in her body. In consideration of her old age and poor health, it was not suitable to accept an operation again. The attending doctor recommended her for conservative treatment. No one expected that she would die so suddenly.
As a doctor, Simon knew illness better than anyone. Cancer was an incurable disease. The patient would die sooner or later. However, when his family encountered such a terrible thing, he still couldn't bear it. "Simon, everyone will die... it is... unstoppable." Emily bit her lip.
Simon closed his eyes stiffly and laughed in selfmockery and pain. "I lost my child, my grandma, and you. Emily, did I do a heinous bad thing in my last life?"
"Simon, don't be like this..." Emily's chest felt tight, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
She looked at the mortuary in front of her, and her hands and feet felt cold. In addition to the gloomy environment, the main reason was the grief in her heart. When she learned that his grandmother had passed away, she was very sad and sorrowful.
When Emily thought such a kind person lying in there died, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
She took back her gaze and looked at his face, handsome as always, but depressed than ever. "Grandma has passed away, and you still need to deal with her funeral. You can't leave her in the hospital like this."
After a long time, Simon finally raised his head again and slowly glanced out of the window. Then he spoke with difficulty, "It's too late today. I have to let grandma stay here for a night. I will contact the funeral parlor and send her to cremate tomorrow morning. When my grandmother was alive, she advocated simplicity. Besides, I am her only family in the world, so it's unnecessary to hold a grand funeral. It's okay to carry her coffin to the cemetery directly."
"Hmm..." Emily nodded.
Listening to his rational arrangements, she felt very depressed.
She paused and continued to say seriously, "Although we have divorced, I have always regarded your grandmother as my own grandmother. Now she has passed away... Simon, if you need help, let me know."
Simon's eyes turned to her, bit by bit. "Can you drive for me later?"
Emily was stunned for a moment. Then she heard him saying in a hoarse voice, "In my current state, I can't drive back."
"Sure." She bit her lip.
Finally, they came out of the medical technical building. After passing through several buildings, they came to the parking place and got into the car one by one.
Emily took the car key from him and sat in the driver's seat. Then she carefully drove the car out of the hospital, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the viaduct.
Night was falling, the sky was dark. The street view on both sides of the road flashed by. She held the steering wheel along the way, and every time she met a turn, she could not help glancing at him.
Just like when she arrived at the hospital just now, Simon maintained the same position since he got into the car. He seemed to look out of the window with his head tilted, but his eyes were out of focus. He was unusually stiff and silent now.
A few days ago, he lost his best friend. Now his family had passed away...
Not long ago, Mr. Hogg died on the wedding day, which was a huge blow to him. In fact, Emily was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear such incidents one after another.
She sighed silently and tried to drive the car more steadily.
During the peak period, there were some traffic jams on the road. When she drove to the apartment, the streetlights had been on one after another.
After leaving Ice city for half a year, she returned to this familiar yet somewhat strange place. With the surrounding buildings in sight, Emily couldn't help holding the steering wheel in her hands. For some reason, she felt anxious when approaching this place again after many years.
Finally, the car stopped steadily. Emily turned her head and looked sideways, only to replace that he had fallen asleep. He still kept that position, closed his eyes tightly, and had deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.
She tentatively shouted in a soft voice. "Simon, we're here!"
Simon opened his eyes blankly and looked out of the window. "Well, have we arrived?"
"Hmm!" Emily nodded.
Simon said thanks and unfastened the seatbelt.
Emily also got out of the car with him. After seeing his figure enter the building, she intended to leave and wanted to take a taxi at the gate of the community to go back.
Before she took two steps, her cell phone rang.
She took it out, and it turned to be a call from Calvin. Emily picked it up and put it beside her ear. Hearing the soft voice of her fiance, she felt a little sorry. "Calvin, I'm sorry. I promised to visit your parents this evening, but I suddenly left. Have you conveyed my apologies to them after you go back? Were they unhappy?"
Calvin said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry. I've already conveyed your apologies. They don't mind it!"
"That's good. I'm so sorry!" Emily couldn't help apologizing again.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry too much about it." Calvin smiled gently, then paused and asked, "Emily, is it... Mr. Chin's grandmother who passed away?"
Emily said, "Mm..."
Speaking of his grandma who had passed away, she felt very depressed. Then she thought of something and asked with some concern, "Calvin, will you be angry? Grandma was very kind to me when she was alive. I admire and like her very much..."
Calvin smiled and said, "Not at all. You and Mr. Chin used to be a couple. It's inevitable that you will deal with something related to him. You really should go to express your condolences after such a big thing happened. I can understand you!"
Emily said sincerely, "Calvin, thank you!"
After the call, she put the phone back in her pocket and suddenly found that the car key was still in it.
Because the car didn't need a key to unlock it, she put it in her pocket casually at that time.
When she thought that he would drive the car to deal with his grandmother's funeral tomorrow, Emily had no choice but to return with the car key in hand, so
she also went into the building.
"Ding-dong!"
The elevator door opened slowly and Emily walked out.
Returning to the old place, she couldn't help taking a deep breath. When she stood at the door and was ready to knock on the door, she found that the antitheft door was not closed completely. Obviously, the owner forgot to close it.
