A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 69

Edward narrowed his eyes and stared at me with an unusually serious gaze for a long time.

My back was wet, probably because I was frightened by him just now.

He must be in a very bad mood because I copied an important document from his study.

"Let's eat." I stared at my toes for a long time before Edward spoke to me in a deep voice.

I couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief and almost sat on the ground because I was so nervous.

After the servant sent dishes to the table, Edward ate with me in his arms.

Recently, he liked to eat with me in his arms. This kind of babyish action made me inexplicably moved.

"Ashley, no matter what you're going to do, I won't hate you."

Halfway through the meal, he suddenly said to me like this.

I was so surprised because of his words that I almost choked.

I stared at his handsome face, unable to say a single word.

Edward quietly looked at me for a long time. Only then did he lower his head and kiss my lips. He whispered, "No matter what you want to do... I won't hate you."

Did he know anything?

I looked at his face in a daze and allowed him to kiss me until Paul held the phone and walked in with a serious face, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the dining room.

"Boss, something happened."

Paul's sudden and cold voice startled me. My mind, which was originally immersed in Edward's kiss, could not help but sober at once.

"Edward." I pushed his body away with force, and my cheeks turned red. I didn't even dare look at Paul who was walking in.

Edward stared at me with deep eyes for a long time before he frowned and raised his head to look at Paul.

Paul smiled awkwardly and then put on a heavy face.

"Gramps Xi... was sent to the emergency ward. Stewart asked you to go there right away."

"What's wrong with grandpa?" As soon as I heard that something bad had happened to grandpa, I got up from Edward's lap at once and asked Paul.

"It's said to be cardiac arrest and he was sent to the emergency room."

"Edward." I turned my head and looked at Edward with fear in my eyes.

I talked to grandpa in the morning. How could he have a cardiac arrest? There must be something wrong! "Don't worry, let's go to the hospital first." Edward's expression wasn't very good either. He held my hand and said to me in a deep voice.

I nodded uneasily and held his hands tightly.

The only thing I could pray for was that nothing bad happened to Grandpa. He must be safe and healthy.

"How is it going?" When Edward took me to the hospital, Stewart was not in the emergency room. He just stood outside, as if he was waiting for me and Edward to come.

He raised his head after he saw me walking in with Edward. His expression was serious like never before.

"Edward, you may have to prepare yourself mentally."

"What do you mean?" Edward's face fell, and his voice suddenly turned cold.

I couldn't stand Stewart's words either. He seemed to be saying that... grandpa was very likely...

"The attending doctor mentioned that Gramps Xi was injected with the medicine for heart failure. But it was too late. They are trying their best to save him, but there is also one possibility, which is... maybe there is no way to save him."

My heartbeat so fast, and my entire body trembled as I leaned against Edward's body.

Edward held my waist and said coldly to Stewart, "Whatever you do, make sure he's safe."

"We can only try our best." "What to do now?., what should I do?" I looked at Edward anxiously, and my hands and feet were cold.

Grandpa... be safe, please.

If Gramps Xi who treated me like his own granddaughter really died, I would be extremely sad.

"Ashley, look at me." Perhaps it was because of my anxious emotions that had affected Edward.

He held my face in his hands and called out my name with a cold expression.

I stared at his face in a daze and couldn't say a single word.

He stared at me for a long time. His eyes were deep as he said, "Don't worry. Grandpa will be fine. I'm here with you, and he will definitely be fine."

"Edward." I felt so worried.

At this moment, Edward made me feel at ease for no reason.
