Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 325

Yvonne pointed at the ward behind him. 1

Sue gazed at where she pointed and saw the two figures inside through the glass on the door. She immediately understood what she meant and did not ask further. "Ah, I'll go in later then."

She then put down the bags in her hand and stood side by side with Yvonne.

Yvonne looked at the bags next to her feet. "These are...?"

"They're master's daily necessities. The driver just brought them over from the old house so I went out to get them," Sue explained with a smile.

Yvonne nodded in realization and stopped talking.

After a while, she suddenly covered her face and she was overwhelmed with sadness. "Sue, I suddenly realize that life is extremely fragile."

"Hm?" Sue was stunned. "Why are you suddenly talking about this, Madam?"

"Because of Grandpa," Yvonne sighed. "He was still doing fine for the past two months, but he suddenly fell sick. What bothers me the most is that Henry went to see the doctor earlier to find out about Grandpa’s condition and he was a little emotional when he got back. So I'm a little worried..."

When Sue heard this, she felt gloomy too. "Madam, so you’re worried that master may not survive..."

"Sue." Yvonne interrupted her sharply.

Sue realized that she had said something she shouldn't have. She slapped her mouth lightly and said, "I'm sorry, Madam, I spoke too fast and I didn’t mean it."

"I know, but don’t say things like that out loud even if you have the thoughts," Yvonne advised.

In fact, what Sue just said was what she was worried about.

This was because she remembered that Henry had mentioned before that the old man's days were numbered.

But now that Grandpa had suddenly collapsed, she was worried that the old man might not be able to survive for several more years.

As she continued to think about all her worries, Yvonne heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

She quickly gathered her thoughts and turned her head to see Henry come out of the old man's ward with a calm face.

"Henry, you’re done talking with Grandpa?" Yvonne stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

The man glanced at her and said, "You should stay

here with him."

"What about you?" Yvonne asked.

Henry raised his arm and looked at the watch on his wrist. "Joe just called and I need to go back to the company."

"I see. Alright then, drive safe." Yvonne let go of his arm.

Henry nodded and left.

Sue picked up the big bags on the ground. When she saw Yvonne still looking in the direction where Henry left, she could not help laughing, "Madam, what're you looking at?"

Yvonne looked away and shook her head. "Nothing, let’s go in."

She then bent down and took the initiative to help Sue with two of her bags.

In the ward, the old man looked sleepy as he lay on the hospital bed. He smiled and beckoned, "Yvonne, come over here."

Yvonne walked over obediently and reached out to hold the old man’s hand. "Grandpa."

"Come sit here." the old man pointed at the chair beside the bed.

Yvonne tilted her head and took a look before hooking the chair closer with her foot and sat down.

The old man picked up a newspaper from the bedside

and handed it to her. "Read Grandpa the newspaper." "Sure." Yvonne agreed, then took the newspaper and proceeded to read from the beginning.

In order to make sure that the old man could understand her, she intentionally read very slowly and had clear pronunciation.

The old man closed his eyes and his face seemed happy. It was easy to tell that he was very satisfied.

Sue, who was unpacking his daily necessities, could not help but smile when she saw this scene.

She did not know how much time had passed, but she finally finished reading the newspaper. Yvonne gently folded it and got closer to see the old man on the hospital bed.

The old man seemed to be asleep. He was motionless, but his breathing was heavy.

Yvonne tucked the old man in and called out towards the corner of the ward in a low voice. "Sue!"

Sue heard her and looked up.

Yvonne pointed at the door, then at the old man.
