Chapter 27
Wendy Lim got off the cruise and hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital.
The nurse didn’t clearly stated the situation of Wendy Lim's grandmother on the phone. She only told Wendy Lim that her grandmother suddenly fainted in the morning and was sent to the emergency room...
Wendy Lim was still in a trance for a few seconds when she came out of the elevator. It seemed that she was walking on cotton.
She bumped into several medical carts on the way to the emergency room. The nurse helped her up and said, "Miss Lim, no rush! Your grandmother is all right. She has been sent back to the ward!"
Wendy Lim's eyes lit up again when she hear the nurse’s words.
Wendy Lim opened the ward door and saw her grandmother was lying on the bed. Her grandmother’s face was so pale, and there was a bluish green between her eyebrows. Her eyes closed as if she was dead.
Wendy Lim rushed over to hold her grandmother's hand. Her grandmother's cold fingertips were warmed by her, and Wendy Lim finally relaxed.
Her grandmother woke up half an hour later.
She saw Wendy Lim was leaning on the edge of the bed and showed a weak smile, "Silly girl. Did you cry?"
"No. Grandma." Wendy Lim shook her head.
"You did. Your eyes are red. You must cry when I fall asleep!" Grandmother stroked Wendy Urn’s hands and cheeks, "Don't worry, I won't die so quickly. A fortuneteller said I could live to 99!"
Wendy Urn's mind was muddled when she heard the word "die".
"Grandma! Bah! No death!"
"Okay! No death! Bah! Bah!"
Grandmother smiled and replied her. The atmosphere in the ward gradually became optimistic.
Wendy Lim stood up to get some water. She tested the temperature of the water before handing it to her grandmother. Grandmother's eyes focused on the bag in front of her. "Wendy, do you still... miss him?"
Wendy Lim lowered her head. She was so worried when she got off the taxi. So she forgot to zip up her bag after paying, and half of the knife handle was exposed now.
The man’s eyes, face, and smile emerged in her head again.
"Grandma, I don't!" Wendy Lim shook her head and denied. She put her bag behind her waist and said in a low voice, "I don’t miss him. I promised you..."
The old lady looked at the two shadows of her granddaughter's eyelashes and sighed.
Later, they skipped this topic. No one mentioned it again, as if nothing had happened.
Wendy Lim quietly walked out of the ward after her grandmother fell asleep.
Her grandmother was so weak now but she still talked with Wendy Lim for almost two hours. At last, Wendy Lim insisted on letting her have a rest. Wendy Lim knew that her grandmother didn't want her to worry too much.
As soon as she got out of the ward, here came the attending doctor.
"Doctor Hsu, I will pay the medical expenses for this month in two days!" Wendy Lim said hurriedly.
"Miss Lim, now it's not just about the medical expenses..." The attending doctor raised his hand.
Wendy Lim heard a pause and waited for the doctor to continue, "Although your grandmother had been rescued this time, her condition became worse. We had a meeting just now. We think your grandmother need to have another bypass surgery!"
"And this bypass surgery will be very expensive. At least need..."
Wendy Lim saw the doctor put out three fingers, "Three thousand dollars?"
The attending doctor shook his head and crossed his index fingers.
Wendy Lim felt it hard to breathe. She couldn't see or hear anything for a short period.
"This is just the beginning. Your grandmother is aged. Once she has the operation again, the following hospitalization and medicine expenses will be very high. Miss Lim, I have to remind you to be mentally prepared!"
The attending doctor left. Wendy Lim had been holding the door handle tightly to keep herself steady.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
