My Second Husband novel Chapter 178

Due to psychological anxiety, Wendy couldn't sleep at all and eventually passed out because of stress.

She went to the hospital for a check-up. When she came out of her ward, she saw Old Master Granger sitting alone in the corridor.

She hurried to catch up and heard the Old Master's caretaker talking to the doctor.

"The Old Master's body is deteriorating. At this stage, he's basically relying on medicine to maintain his health. I suggest that we continue using conservative treatment on him, so that he could enjoy the remaining years of his life. If there are children at home, try to have them accompany him as much as possible."

The caretaker nodded. "How much longer does he still have left? His biggest wish is to see our young master get married."

The doctor frowned. "About 6 months!"

Wendy was shocked out of her wits. The doctor said that the Old Master only had 6 months left to live!

Everything was so sudden, but for her, it was a good opportunity. This old man looked down on her from the very beginning, and Wendy didn't care whether he was dead or alive. But if he told Amos that his final wish was to watch him get married, would Amos agree to marry her then? Although Amos looked cold on the outside, he was actually very empathetic and kind-hearted. The fact that he had risked his life to go back to the United States to save Wendy in order to repay her kindness was enough evidence.

Thinking of this, Wendy straightened her clothes and cautiously backed away.

When she turned at the corner of the wall, she walked up to them and cried in fake surprise, "Grandpa, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"

The Old Master was stunned. When he saw that it was her at a closer glance, his expression showed a hint of displeasure.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I have the flu, so I decided to come and visit the doctor."

Old Master Granger did not reply and chose to ignore her, but Wendy didn't mind and just walked away.

However, she didn't leave but stood at a corner to observe the Old Master. Just as the old man finished his consultation and was about to leave, his caretaker accidentally dropped something. Wendy quickly ran over and picked it up.

Then, she offered solicitously, "Let me send you back!"

Old Master Granger frowned and was about to decline her offer, when Wendy suddenly said, "I just had dinner with Amos yesterday. He has been busy lately." Upon hearing Amos' name, the old man immediately looked at Wendy expectantly. "How is Amos doing these days?"

"He's doing alright, but not especially good." Wendy deliberately gave a vague reply.

"What do you mean?" Her ambiguity immediately made the Old Master nervous, and Wendy pounced at this opportunity to get into the car and followed them to the Granger's Family mansion.

In the afternoon, Amos Granger took a look at the time after he was done with his work.

He remembered that Juju would finish schoot four o'clock. For some reason, he wanted to see the lovely little girl, whom he adored.

Seeing that it was almost 3:50 p.m., Amos was about to leave. However, Clint Zuckerberg came into the office.

"President Granger, the Old Master is here."

Amos was stunned. "Is he here to check on the company?"

"He is coming to your office!" Clint said again.

Ever since Amos had gotten into the car accident five years ago, the Old Master had practically turned a blind eye towards him. He had not paid much attention to him over the past few years and just let him do whatever he wanted.

But why did he come to his office all of a sudden?

Amos was about to get up when Clint said, "Miss Liam is with him!" Wendy?

Amos frowned in confusion. While he was still thinking, the door was pushed open, and Old Master Granger slowly walked into the office with Wendy's help.

When she saw Amos's quizzical gaze, she said, "Grandpa said that he wants to see you, so I come with him."

Amos grunted in acknowledgment, but his eyes were glued to the clock.

The Old Master knitted his eyebrows. "Where are you going?"

Hurriedly, Clint offered an explanation for him, "President Granger still has a schedule to attend to..."
