After looking at Norissa's bulging tummy, Grandpa ordered, "Elaine, pull a chair over for her to sit."
"Okay, Grandpa."
She took the chair and said, "Miss Kaur, please have a seat."
Norissa sat down immediately. "Grandpa, I come empty-handed because I'm also in the hospital, so please forgive me."
"It's okay. You don't have to apologize for that." Grandpa chuckled.
With that, Norissa smiled too.
"Grandpa, I want to talk to you in private. Can you ask her to go out, please?"
As she spoke, she pointed at Elaine.
Then, Elaine looked at Grandpa.
However, Grandpa uttered faintly, "It's okay. She is one of us. You can just say whatever it is you want to say."
"Are you sure? What I'm about to say is related to the incident 20 years ago," Norissa whispered with a mysterious smile on her face.
There was a slight change on his expression after her remark that he quickly said, "Elaine, I need to talk to her in private."
Upon listening to his words, Elaine nodded and said, 'TH be waiting outside. If there's anything you need, just call me."
Grandpa stared straight at Norissa.
After that, Elaine turned around and went out.
With the intention to stay near the ward, she went to the nearby chair and waited patiently.
What did Norissa mean by what she said just now?
How did she know about an incident that occurred two decades ago...
Besides, judging from Grandpa's change of expression, she assumed that it was a big deal.
Letting out a sigh, she massaged her temple as she felt a headache coming.
Last night, she planned to skip town, but when she realized that someone was following her, she had to abandon the plan and got out of the train in order to get rid of the person who followed her.
She didn't know who was following her.
But she could make a wild guess...
He must be Vincent's man...
No one else would do such a boring thing except
for him.
What on earth did he want to do?
He didn't answer the phone.
Nor did he show up in front of her.
Instead, he sent someone to spy on her.
She couldn't figure out what was playing in his mind, and his actions enraged her.
It caused her a lot of trouble.
Oftentimes, she wanted to run over to him and ask why he wanted to do what he did and harm the Perkins Family...
But she didn't dare to.
She had just come out from his clutches. If she questioned him now, she would be walking straight into his traps again.
A headache suddenly attacked her.
It was quite painful that she pressed her head.
Suddenly, there was a shrill scream coming from the ward.
Shocked, Elaine jumped and quickly ran to the ward. As soon as she entered, she was utterly stunned by the scene.
Norissa was lying on the ground, and her lower body was bleeding...
The bright red blood was drenching her white hospital gown.
Meanwhile, Grandpa sat on the floor, panting heavily, and his face was pale...
Elaine stummered in a hoarse voice, "Doctor..."
Some nurses who heard the noise ran over to have a look, and they were also shocked. "What's going on? Hurry, there is a pregnant woman falling down!"
After a while, the nurse came over and carried Norissa, who was bleeding, onto the stretcher.
Despite everything that happened, Norissa was exceptionally calm without a hint of panic. She simply lay there quietly and didn't even scream.
After regaining her composure, Elaine hurried to help Grandpa up.
"He's back. He's back. He didn't die..." Grandpa muttered to himself.
"Grandpa!" Elaine shouted anxiously, "Who are you talking about?"
