Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1309

Inside the hospital room.

Luna bit down on her lip and stared at a white-haired Granny Lynch with a pained expression. "Granny...” she said in a hoarse voice. “Why did you..."

Granny feigned nonchalance and reached out her hand to stroke Nellie's head, then squeezed Neil's hand reassuringly. "I’ve already told you; Celia was right. I don’t have much time left, so I'm glad that I get to do something good for my great-grandchildren.”

Luna's eyes were red-rimmed. "But Granny, Joshua and I went to so much trouble to obtain the antidote and cure you. You're the only elder that Joshua respects, and you’re the only family member that not just him, but the children and I cherish..."

She sniffed and continued in a choked voice, "Nellie is still young; she still has such a long way to go. I highly doubt that the poison within her body will never be able to get neutralized. We’ll eventually find a way to save her, but you...”

Granny Lynch was more than 70 years old. When Luna first got in touch with Dr. Janet, she had mentioned that Granny Lynch's organs were so damaged from the poison that if she did not receive the antidote soon, her organs would erode and die.

If that happened, Granny would only have days to live.

This was why Luna had been desperate to get her hands on Aura's antidote and was even willing to let D r. Janet administer a similar poison into her body just to fool Aura...

"I'm fine." Granny let out a sigh as she closed her eyes. "I'm already so old now; there's no point living a few more years anymore.”

With that, she reached out a hand to stroke Nellie’s hair. "As long as she's fine, I can rest in peace.”

"Great-Granny.” Nellie sobbed so hard that her eyes were red and swollen. "I don't want you to die. I don't want you to leave.

"You haven't even had the chance to see me win an international prize yet, and I haven't had the chance t o make you a piece of jewelry that you like. I haven’t..."

Nellie had so much more to tell Granny Lynch, but she was sobbing so hard that she could not say a single word.
