My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1883

Upon mentioning the past, Adrienne recalled many beautiful memories she had with Hodge. "When I was still young, Grandpa would always go on business trips, and he would always ask me what present I wanted. No matter how difficult it was to get the present, he would definitely get it because he had promised me so. And no matter how busy he was, as long as he promised me that he would come back to accompany me, he would definitely come home on time. A person who had kept his promises for 70 years would never go back on his words."

Adrienne was telling all that to Jefferson, but she was actually trying to comfort herself. She wanted to think that if she believed that Hodge was fine, he would actually be fine. When they arrived at the hospital, he definitely would look at her and greet her with the kind smile of his.

Jefferson squeezed her shoulder with his right hand. Then, he heard her saying, "Grandpa mentioned that he wanted to see me getting married and he said that he will help me take care of my child, too. He definitely will abide by his promise. He will never go back on his words."

Listening to Adrienne's self- consoling words,

Jefferson's mouth felt so bitter that he couldn't say a word.

He was not her, so he could not empathize with her. But seeing that she was pretending to be strong, his heart ached, as if a knife was pierced into his heart. However, he also understood clearly that the pain was less than one ten-thousandth of what Adrienne felt.

He had told himself countless times that as long as he was by Adrienne's side, he would not let Adrienne shed a tear ever again. Nonetheless, life was fragile. There are no certainties, and that adverse events can strike one at any time without warning. It wasn't something that he could keep under his control.

In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the entrance of the hospital.

After Jefferson had parked the car, he quickly got out of the car. He opened the door for Adrienne and accompanied her into the hospital.

Since Jefferson had connections with the higher ups of the hospital, the hospital director had arranged a few staffs to wait at the door to receive them. Therefore, they did not need to waste time to find the way and were led straight to the emergency room.

The red indicator above the door of the emergency room was still lighted. Before Jefferson could speak, a doctor came over to greet them, "Mr. Hefner, Miss Carter, Mr. Hodge had a heart attack and he's in critical condition now. The director and our hospital's best heart specialist are doing all they can to rescue him."

"Since the director and the best heart experts are here, then Grandpa will definitely be fine. We shouldn't worry too much." Adrienne smiled, and a gentle voice came through her lips. Not only did she not let others see her worry, she even tried to comfort the others.

Hearing Adrienne's words, the doctor who was attending to them didn't know what to say. He glanced at Jefferson worriedly but seeing that all Jefferson cared about at the moment was Adrienne, he tactfully retreated to the corner.

Jefferson wrapped his arm around Adrienne's shoulders and held her hand with his other hand. He didn't say anything to her, but his actions were telling her that no matter what happened, he would be with her.

After some time, the indicator of the emergency room finally went out. Soon, the door of the operating room was opened, and the director of the hospital stepped out.

Adrienne wanted to rush over but after taking a step, she realized that she wasn't as strong as she thought.

She took a step forward and found that all the strength in her body had been drained out by fear and worry. If Jefferson hadn't held onto her waist in time, she would have fallen to the ground.
