Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 In the Hospital

Nelson didn't reply. He pushed the wheelchair by himself and stood before Ward 2508. Then he turned around to appreciate Charlotte's shock, feeling it very interesting. He chuckled and asked, "Aren't you going in?"

Charlotte was dumbfounded. Then she suddenly thought of something and asked gingerly, "Did... Did you especially take me here to visit my maternal grandfather?"

Nelson replied, "I told you. Good kids will always be rewarded."

Charlotte was so happy that she was lost for words. She gave Nelson two bows and said, "Thank you!"

Nelson said in an upset tone, "If you do want to thank me, kiss me. I don't want bows."

Charlotte humped lowly and remarked in her heart, "Old hooligan."

She pushed open the door of the ward and found that her maternal grandfather was reading a yellowed medical book attentively.

In the history of the Moore family, most of its members were engaged in medicine and all of them were well-educated and elegant. Although Charlotte's maternal grandfather, Dominic Moore, was already seventy years old and was now ill abed, he still looked energetic and gentlemanly.

Hearing the sounds, he turned around and wanted to get out of bed when he found it was Charlotte. Charlotte immediately ran over to stop him. She was so frightened that she blurted out, "Grandpa, what are you doing? You're in poor health and can't get out of bed at will."

Dominic grasped her hand and looked at her worriedly, "Lottie, it's been so long since you visited me last time. Did anything happen?"

In the past, Charlotte would visit him once for two days. Nothing could stop her.

Charlotte felt her nose twitch when she heard the question.

For some people, it would be too much if someone asked about their misery. They could endure it before, but when being asked by a close family or friend, all of their psychological lines of defense would collapse.

Charlotte, who was not yet 18 years old, had too much burden. Looking at Dominic's amiable face, she couldn't help but shed tears, which startled Dominic. He asked, "Lottie! What's wrong?"

Charlotte buried her head in his arms like a hurt animal. His chest wasn't broad and under his thin skin were bones. It seemed as if a gust of wind would be enough to make them fall apart. However, it could give Charlotte unspeakable warmth and strength.

Just like when she was a kid, she would hide her injured hands behind her back because she didn't want the seniors to worry about her, this time, she also shook her head and replied softly, "I haven't seen you for a long time. And I miss you so much."

"Then why didn't you visit me?" asked Dominic.

Charlotte wiped away her tears and said with pride, "That's because I transferred to a new school. Do you know Srolanya High School? I was specially admitted to that school. I haven't had time to visit you recently because I was busy with the transfer procedures."

Dominic was a bit dumbfounded. Every Guabian had heard of Srolanya High School. However, his first reaction was not to feel happy for Charlotte. Instead, he asked worriedly, "Students in that school are all from rich or powerful families and are all arrogant. Lottie, did they bully you?"

Charlotte smiled and replied, "I'm fine. They are all kind and have nothing different from students in ordinary schools. Grandpa, I'm so outstanding. Are you going to compliment me?"

Dominic smiled with comfort and stroked her hair, saying, "Yep. Our little Lottie is the most standing one. It's a pity that I'm ill now, or else I'll cook some delicious dishes to celebrate it."

Dominic was very skilled in cooking. So was Madelyn. Charlotte learned a bit from them, but what she liked the most were still dishes cooked by Dominic.

Charlotte said in a soft voice, "Then you should compensate me after leaving the hospital."

"Okay," replied Dominic with a smile.

Charlotte then carefully asked about his current situation, which amused Dominic. He said, "Lottie, you learned medicine from me. I know well about my situation."

Charlotte retorted, "You also taught me that doctors don't treat themselves."
