Chapter 141 Our Marriage Is A Mistake
Yuliana looked away and pointed at the other two boxes against the wall. Then, she turned around and went into the room to pack other things.
She had sorted out most of her belongings these past few days, so it didn’t take much time to pack them up. She only needed to put away some everyday items before moving out tomorrow.
After sorting them out, Yuliana cooked some beef wrap. She had bought the tortillas a few days ago and left them in the refrigerator.
She had never made beef wrap before, so they were not good-looking. She even tore some of the tortillas by accident.
She cooked two servings. After cooking, she prepared a larger portion and a smaller one with different fillings in it.
She was silent while eating.
The phone Christopher threw aside kept vibrating, with new messages coming in.
However, he didn’t pay attention to it and continued eating it elegantly, as if he was eating something delicious.
However, Yuliana was a little disgusted. The stuffing of the beef wrap was not flavorful enough, and there was a taste of blood. In addition, the meat was a little overcooked. As she had cooked the wrap for too long, the outer wrap did not taste good. She stopped after taking a few bites.
At the right time, the phone on the side rang.
She glanced at it and found it was an unfamiliar call ID, but she still remembered the caller of that phone number.
She didn’t pick it up immediately and looked at it silently for a while. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Christopher noticed her odd behavior. He glanced at the screen and then looked at her face for two seconds. Finally, Yuliana picked up her phone and answered it.
“Yuliana, can you come to the hospital now?” The person on the other end of the phone said in a low voice, “Grandma is awake now and wants to see you.”
Yuliana was stunned and immediately realized something.
“Which hospital?” She hurriedly got up and went to the room.
Christopher’s expression darkened.
A few minutes later, she changed her clothes and came out of the room carrying a small bag. Then, she hurried to the door.
Christopher got up and strode over to her. He grabbed Yuliana’s wrist and stared at her with a cold gaze. “It’s late. Where are you going?”
Yuliana turned to look at him with a faint expression on her face. She pursed her lips and said, “Harry’s grandma is in the hospital. I’ll go check on her.”
Christopher grabbed her wrist tightly, and his face became darker and darker. Finally, he sneered, “What does Harry’s grandma have to do with you?”
Yuliana looked at him quietly with her gorgeous obs. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but after thinking for a while, she felt that her behavior was a little ridiculous.
After a moment of stalemate, she said in a low voice, “Christopher, I think our marriage is a mistake. We are not similar in terms of personality at all.”
“What do you mean?” Christopher paused and asked.
Yuliana frowned and lowered her gaze. She still couldn’t bring herself to say the word. Then, she said, “Christopher, I’m tired today. I’m not in the mood to quarrel with you!” She tried to break free from his grip and said in a low voice, “Let me go.”
Christopher’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He refused to let go of his hand and asked coldly, “Which hospital? I’ll send you there.”
Yuliana didn’t want to have a meaningless argument with him, so she told him about Harry’s grandma’s hospital.
Harry’s grandma was sent to the hospital in the afternoon. At that time, Harry was not in Juxshire. After receiving the news, he immediately bought the nearest flight back. When he arrived at the hospital, his grandma was still in a coma, and the latter had only gained consciousness half an hour ago. However, the doctor said it was a sign of terminal lucidity, and she would not survive for long.
When Harry was very young, he knew he was an illegitimate child. His mother died when he was very young. His only impression of his mother was that she was quite erratic. She would be good to Christopher when she wanted to be, but she would also stab him with a needle and cut his wrist when her condition was unstable.
He knew cutting his wrist would lead to death, but he didn’t feel pain or fear. He even thought it might be better to die.
But every time, his grandma would feel sorry for him and hold him tightly in her arms as she cried uncontrollably. Until now, he could still remember that his grandma’s embrace was particularly warm,
and there was a fresh smell of detergent on her clothes.
His mother died when he was six years old. At that time, he didn’t feel sad at all and even felt a sense of relief. At least when his mother died, his grandma didn’t have to work so hard to take care of both his mother and him.
Then he thought perhaps it was better for him to die, too, so that his grandma’s life would be easier.
But one night, his grandma hugged him and cried, saying she could not live without him.
The happiest day for his grandma was when he married Yuliana.
She didn’t get to see her daughter getting married, but she could finally see her grandson get married.
Harry stood outside the ICU against the wall with his eyes closed as the memories related to his grandma flashed across his mind again and again. Finally, he opened his eyes and looked over after hearing the sound of footsteps.
Yuliana walked very fast and panted a little. Then, seeing Harry, she immediately asked, “Where is Grandma? How is she?”
Harry tilted his head to look at the ICU and said, “Go inside. She’s waiting for you.”
Yuliana was stunned. “Won’t you go in?”
Harry’s face was cold as if his eyes were covered with frost. “I’m not going in.”
Yuliana looked at him and didn’t say anything. She went to the nurse to change into sterile scrubs before entering the ICU.
Only the beeping of the monitoring device sounded in the room. It was so quiet that it made people startle Yuliana hadn’t seen her grandparents from her paternal side. Her grandparents from her maternal side had died early, too. She hadn’t received much care from her elders, but Harry’s grandma had shown her a lot of affection, especially when her father died.
Harry’s grandma had told Yuliana a lot about herself. Yuliana thought Grandma was a powerful woman, and she was much luckier than the latter. In that case, there was nothing Yuliana could not overcome, either.
Yuliana walked to the bedside and bent down to approach Harry’s grandma. She spoke in a low voice. “Grandma, I’m Yuliana.”
The old lady seemed to hear her voice and moved her eyelids to open her eyes slightly. Her head could no longer move, so she could only move her pupils forcibly to look at Yuliana.
After staring at Yuliana’s face for a while, Harry’s grandma opened her wrinkled mouth wide as if she wanted to say something. But in the end, she couldn’t make a sound.
Looking at Harry’s grandma like this, Yuliana felt so heartbroken that tears rolled down her cheeks instantly.
After getting out of the ICU, Harry was still standing there in that position.
He looked at Yuliana and nodded slightly. “Thank you.”
Yuliana’s eyes turned red. She pursed her lips tightly and held back her tears. Then, she asked while choked up, “Can Grandma recover?”
As soon as she finished speaking, an alarm sounded in the ICU, and the doctors and nurses ran toward them. Yuliana stood aside in a daze and forgot to react.
Harry moved to the door and looked calmly into the ICU. His emotions were cold, and his tail body stood still as if he would collapse with a gentle touch.
Ten minutes later, the doctor came out of the room. He looked at Harry and Yuliana and shook his head regretfully.
Harry’s body trembled. Seeing that he was about to fall, Yuliana subconsciously reached out to hold him. The muscles on his face were very tight, and his eyes were red. Yet, he didn’t shed a single tear.
It was the first time Yuliana saw Harry like this. She didn’t know how to comfort him, so she only said, “I’m sorry.”
