A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 120

For the sake of five million dollars, Maria didn't mind going to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.

She waited for twenty minutes to make sure that Alina had already come out of the hospital before she went to the in-patient department.

Maria looked for Gordon's ward. When she found it, she sent an edited photo to Alina first before she put away her phone, pushed the door open, and entered.

Gordon was sleeping. And the nurse that the Song family had hired for him was sitting next to his bed.

When the nurse saw her come in, she stood up and greeted in a low voice, "Good day, ma'am."

Knowing that the nurse was not familiar with her, Maria explained at once, "I'm here to visit my grandpa."

A hint of confusion surfaced on the nurse's face upon hearing what she said. As far as the nurse knew, Chandler only had two daughters. So she wondered where Maria was from. While she was in a dilemma whether to call Chandler to confirm, her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing Carolina's name on the screen, she walked to the corner to answer it.

Carolina called the nurse to inform her that Maria might visit Gordon anytime these days. But much to her surprise, the nurse told her that Maria was already in Gordon's ward right now.

Carolina was a bit shocked as she didn't expect Maria to go there so soon.

With Carolina's confirmation, the nurse was relieved. She then went out of the ward to give Maria and Gordon some private time together.

A few minutes after the nurse left, Gordon coughed and gradually opened his eyes.

When he saw Maria's figure sitting at his bedside, he murmured, "I'm really old now as I am seeing things already. I have the illusion that Maria is here with me."

Tears streamed down Maria's beautiful face. She couldn't help blaming herself for being unfilial in the past years. Holding Gordon's wrinkled hand, she said, "Grandpa, you're not imagining things. It's me, Maria."

Seemed shocked, Gordon widened his eyes and took a closer look at the woman holding his hand. It was only then that he proved that Maria was really in his ward.

He got so excited that he sat bolt upright in bed. He kept calling her name, "Maria...Maria..."

Trying to restrain herself from sobbing, Maria reclined the bed and let Gordon lean against the headboard. "Yes, Grandpa, it's me, Maria. I'm here to see you."

After making sure that she wasn't just an illusion, Gordon held her hand tightly and smiled. "Maria, are you really here to see Grandpa?"

"Yes, Grandpa. How are you feeling?" Maria took a deep breath to clear her chest and sat at the edge of the bed.

"I'm feeling all right. I eat and sleep well every day." Gordon chose to hide his condition because he didn't want Maria to worry about him.

What he didn't know was that Maria had already spoken to his attending physician before she came to his ward. She knew all the details of his current condition. But Maria didn't intend to expose Gordon's lie, so she nodded with a smile. "That's good to hear, Grandpa. Please take good care of yourself. From now on, I will come to see you more often."

Gordon heaved a deep sigh. "Maria, I've talked to Chandler. I told him that I'll move out as soon as I leave this hospital. They are always busy. I don't want to be a burden to them. I'll only cause them trouble if I continue to live with them."

Maria refused at once. "No way, Grandpa! You're too old to live alone."
