My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1884

If Hodge didn't say it right then, he knew that he wouldn't have any chance to say it anymore.

Hodge had lived a long life. He had experienced and enjoyed the delights the world offered. He wouldn't feel any regrets if he left the world, but he had one worry, which was his granddaughter, Adrienne.

Therefore, no matter how tired and painful it was, even to the point that he felt like giving up, he still tried to hold on. He was waiting for his only relative in this world to arrive as he still had many words to say to her.

He used the very last ounce of his strength left to hold Adrienne's hand tightly. "Adrienne, my silly child, don't be sad. You should put it this way. I'm not going to die, I'm just going to reunite with your parents in heaven. Promise me that you will live a good life. Your parents and I will look after you in heaven."

Adrienne cried and shook her head desperately. "Grandpa, no, I don't want you to leave. Please don't leave me behind. I want you to stay with me forever." "Silly child, the person who can spend the rest of their life with you is not your parents, nor me, this old man. He's your life partner, your husband." Hodge looked at Jefferson and uttered, "Jefferson, I'll leave Adrienne to you from now on. Please... Please..."

Hodge wanted to finish one sentence in one breath, but his condition didn't allow him to do so. After a few seconds, he continued, "Please take good care of her. You have to stay with her all the time. You mustn't leave her like her parents and I did."

Jefferson nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Mr. Hodge.

I will take good care of Adrienne."

Hodge added again, "Adrienne, I want you to promise me that you will be with Jefferson for a long time. No matter what happens, don't easily break up."

Adrienne cried so much that her snot and tears ran down her face, but she still nodded. "I promise you, Grandpa."

It took Hodge a lot of effort to hold Adrienne and Jefferson's hands together. He advised, "Live a good life with Jefferson and don't be sad because of my death..."

"Grandpa, no... I don't want you to go. I don't want you to leave me. All I want now is for you to stay with me. Please don't go, please don't..." Even though Adrienne cried very hard, she still couldn't stop the illness from taking Hodge away from her.

After Hodge's passing, Adrienne held a funeral for him. Hodge was a simple man. He didn't like to hold grand ceremonies, hence his funeral was rather simple. The people who came were only his close relatives and friends.

At the funeral, Adrienne seemed to be in a relatively stable mood and took excellent care of all the relatives and friends who attended. Everyone looked at her with sympathy, but it seemed that she didn't need any.

After the funeral, Adrienne went to her parents' tomb and knelt down as she said, "Dad, Mom..."

As soon as she said that, tears flowed out from her eyes again. She wiped them off and cried out, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Grandpa. But I know that Grandpa is a nice person. He'll definitely meet you guys in heaven and live a good life. But please don't forget about me. Whenever you guys are free, please appear in my dreams, so that I know that you guys haven't forgotten me... You guys need to remind me that I still have something to hold on to in this world..."

"Dad, Mom..." Adrienne was choked with sobs as she held the tombstone with both hands. She held it so tightly that her fingers started to bleed, but she seemed to feel no pain as her strength was getting greater.
