Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 757

"Then I can rest assured!" Grandma repeatedly nodded and blinked at her lovingly. "Emily, I've always been looking forward to you giving birth to a lively and cute great-grandson or great- granddaughter for me! Don't worry. I'm fine and can help you bring up your children!"

"..." Emily licked her lips.

Looking into that pair of old but kind eyes, she was flustered and short of breath.

Simon stepped forward and said in a low voice, "This bag of medicine has been used up. Grandma, I will take out the needle for you first and will go to ask the nurse if there's a new one!"

"Emm!" Grandma laughed and nodded.

Simon skillfully withdrew the needle, handed her a medicinal swab to cover the pot, and walked out of the ward.

As soon as he left, Grandma looked at her hesitantly and finally said, "Emily!"

"Grandma, I'm listening!" Emily quickly said.

Grandma took her hand and said in a kind voice, "Do you remember what I said to you before I had the operation?"

Emily was stunned. She slowly nodded and said, "Yes..."

"Four years ago, I asked you to take care of Simon if I died in the operating room. Today, I want to say the same thing to you!" Grandma caught Emily's hand in both of hers and said in all earnestness with a sigh.

This was a big promise. Grandma's words gave Emily much more pressure now than when she heard the request for the first time. However, grandma did not know she and Simon had...

Emily bit the corner of her mouth and said, "Grandma..."

Grandma smiled kindly and said with determination. "You're a good girl. I know I can trust you!"

Emily could not utter a word. What she could do was lower her eyelashes and bow her head to hide her sad expression behind her hair.

After talking with grandma for some time, she left, gently closing the door. Then, through the small window on the door, she looked at grandma, who was lying in bed with her hands crossing on the chest. It seemed that she had quite a pleasant chat with Emily and was in a good mood. At this time, she was sleeping soundly, her face a little ruddy.

Emily silently prayed, hoping that she could have a successful surgery, like what had happened four years ago.

After calling the nurse here, Simon went to find the doctor in charge and did not come back. She looked around, walked to the end of the long corridor. As soon as she took a turn, she saw a tall and straight figure not far ahead with his back to her.

Emily wanted to ask about grandmother's condition, but when she suddenly heard him mention Addy's name, she stopped there, feeling awkward to the extreme.

After taking a closer look, she found that he was talking to the phone in his right hand.

He was talking to Addy. As he stood with his back to her, Emily could not see his expression. So, she could only try to tell his attitude toward Addy from his voice.

His voice was as low- pitched as always. Perhaps because she thought he liked Addy, Emily seemed to have noticed a hint of tenderness in his tone.

"I'll be working the day after tomorrow. Meet me in the hospital then!"

Just when Emily was about to retreat and leave quietly, Simon hung up and turned around.

She pretended to have heard nothing and took the initiative to say, "Grandma is asleep!"

"Emm." Simon nodded and put the phone back into his pants pocket.

Emily looked away from his pants pocket, looked up, and asked, "What has the doctor in charge told you? Will she recover?"
