Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 915

"Grandma, she..."

When Emily called grandma like this, she was in an ecstasy of grief. And she could only say this to comfort Simon. "Simon, I'm sorry for your loss!"

Simon looked at his hands and said feebly, "When I went to the ward to see her yesterday morning, she was still able to talk and smile, and was in good spirits. She talked to me for a long time, but not long after I left, she suddenly fell ill! The attending doctor had been saving her for hours, and I thought she could get through it. But she still left the world forever at five o'clock this morning..."

Five years ago, grandma accepted an operation because of cancer. Later, she recovered well and had stayed in the sanatorium for many years. However, a year ago, it was found that there were new cancer cells spreading in her body. In consideration of her old age and poor health, it was not suitable to accept an operation again. The attending doctor recommended her for conservative treatment. No one expected that she would die so suddenly.

As a doctor, Simon knew illness better than anyone. Cancer was an incurable disease. The patient would die sooner or later. However, when his family encountered such a terrible thing, he still couldn't bear it.

"Simon, everyone will die... it is... unstoppable." Emily bit her lip.

Simon closed his eyes stiffly and laughed in selfmockery and pain. "I lost my child, my grandma, and you. Emily, did I do a heinous bad thing in my last life?"

"Simon, don't be like this..." Emily's chest felt tight, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

She looked at the mortuary in front of her, and her hands and feet felt cold. In addition to the gloomy environment, the main reason was the grief in her heart. When she learned that his grandmother had passed away, she was very sad and sorrowful.

When Emily thought such a kind person lying in there died, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She took back her gaze and looked at his face, handsome as always, but depressed than ever. "Grandma has passed away, and you still need to deal with her funeral. You can't leave her in the hospital like this."

After a long time, Simon finally raised his head again and slowly glanced out of the window. Then he spoke with difficulty, "It's too late today. I have to let grandma stay here for a night. I will contact the funeral parlor and send her to cremate tomorrow morning. When my grandmother was alive, she advocated simplicity. Besides, I am her only family in the world, so it's unnecessary to hold a grand funeral. It's okay to carry her coffin to the cemetery directly."

"Hmm..." Emily nodded.

Listening to his rational arrangements, she felt very depressed.

She paused and continued to say seriously, "Although we have divorced, I have always regarded your grandmother as my own grandmother. Now she has passed away... Simon, if you need help, let me know."

Simon's eyes turned to her, bit by bit. "Can you drive for me later?"

Emily was stunned for a moment. Then she heard him saying in a hoarse voice, "In my current state, I can't drive back."

"Sure." She bit her lip.

Finally, they came out of the medical technical building. After passing through several buildings, they came to the parking place and got into the car one by one.

Emily took the car key from him and sat in the driver's seat. Then she carefully drove the car out of the hospital, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the viaduct.

Night was falling, the sky was dark. The street view on both sides of the road flashed by. She held the steering wheel along the way, and every time she met a turn, she could not help glancing at him.

Just like when she arrived at the hospital just now, Simon maintained the same position since he got into the car. He seemed to look out of the window with his head tilted, but his eyes were out of focus. He was unusually stiff and silent now.

A few days ago, he lost his best friend. Now his family had passed away...

Not long ago, Mr. Hogg died on the wedding day, which was a huge blow to him. In fact, Emily was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear such incidents one after another.

She sighed silently and tried to drive the car more steadily.
