Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 826

Howard's doubts grew bigger. Then, he asked, "Have you seen the driver who caused the accident just now?"

It took Elaine quite a while to answer this question. "It all happened too suddenly. After the medic brought us out of the car, we came straight to the hospital. I don't know who the driver was and didn't see him at the scene just now."

She was not even sure if the driver had already escaped.

Gradually, Howard's face darkened.

Elaine stopped talking too. Fingers entwined, she stared blankly at her feet₀

It was not until she heard Howard calling her that she snapped back to her senses. "Huh?"

"Grandpa is here."

Hurriedly, she got up.

The doctors and nurses sent Ronan to the ward. Ronan's leg was broken, and Howard went to register him for hospitalization.

Elaine accompanied Ronan in the ward. He was still awake. Sighing, he said, "The past few days were hellish. If Howard's parents are still here, we might still be able to get through this, but now I'm the only one left."

Hearing that, Elaine felt pity for him. She comforted him, "Don't say so. You still have Dr. Perkins and me."

Ronan held her hand. "Elaine, the Perkins family has always been unlucky, and I'm sorry we had to drag you into all this mess. More than 20 years ago, something really bad happened... Our family was nearly destroyed... I risked everything to protect Howard... Nothing can happen to him. Otherwise, I won't be able to face his parents..."

It seemed like Ronan was starting to lose consciousness. He began muttering to himself.

Confused, Elaine called out to him, "Grandpa?"

He kept on mumbling, "I sacrificed that child to save him... He has to stay safe..."

Ronan looked as though he was possessed. Elaine kept calling him, but he was lost in a trance. Gradually, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Elaine was left speechless.

When Howard returned to the ward, she stood up in a hurry. "Grandpa just fell asleep."

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Before he fell asleep, he said something weird..." "Something weird? What do you mean?" Howard pulled a chair over and motioned her to sit down. "Tell me."

"I couldn't hear very clearly, but I think he said something about how your family was always unlucky. He also said that something happened to the Perkins Family about 20 years ago, and how your family was nearly destroyed..."

Upon hearing that, Howard was taken aback.

Elaine looked at Howard. "Dr. Perkins, do you think what Grandpa said has anything to do with Vincent?"

Howard lowered his gaze to look at her. "Why do you say so?"

"Because both of you look exactly the same."

Howard went silent. All this while, he knew that something was wrong but he never asked Ronan because he did not want to face it, and he chose to keep silent instead.

Seeing him keeping quiet, Elaine stopped talking about it as well.

Pondering for a moment, she changed the topic, "How is Miss Kaur doing?"

"She's fine. She's eating and resting comfortably. She can even order people around." Howard snorted.

Elaine smiled. "It seems like the baby in her belly is very healthy."

Staring at her, Howard blurted out, "I'd rather you give birth to a baby for me..."

Once again, Elaine was left speechless.

He surely was good at ending conversations.

Fortunately, Elaine managed to change the topic. "Did you visit Maya and the driver? How are they doing?"

"They're fine. They just suffered some minor injuries."

Knowing that they were fine, Elaine breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great... I'll stay behind to take care of Grandpa tonight. You can go ahead and get busy with your own stuff."

Howard was confused. "What else can I do?"
