Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 0139 

Sydney’s POV 

Grandma Doris smiled at Mark and mouthed, “Thank you.” 

Mark nodded, tight lipped. Then Grandme turned to me, “Where is Lucas? Did he come with you?” 

“Yes,” I answered quickly. I know Lucas was Itching to see her too. “He’s waiting outside.” 

“Let him in, I would like to see him too,” Doris croaked out weakly. 

I rose to my feet and walked to the door. I opened the door and stuck my head. out like I had done when I came to call Mark. His elbows rested on his knee. and his head was in his hands. I wonder what he’s thinking? 

“Hey babe,” I called softly and he sprang up from his position. 

“Hey,” he said breathlessly and rushed to the door. “How’s she?” 

“Well,” I shrughged slightly, “She’s still hanging in there.” Then I relayed Grandma’s message, “She wants to see you.” 

Lucas raised his brows and his mouth formed an O as if he hadn’t expected to also be called in. 

I opened the door wider and stepped away from the doorway. “Come on,” I said and turned back to Doris‘ bed. The door made a soft click as he closed it after he stepped in after me. 

Mark and I watched as Doris gazed and smiled at Lucas. As usual, she had a thick veil over her emotions and no one could pin point close to whatever was on her mind. 

Her smile widened when Lucas got closer and held her hand. Lucas pressed his lips together and managed a smile. Mark and I took a step back, leaving both of them to their moment. 

“I know how’re you isn’t the right question, but I don’t know what else to say,” Lucas said in a small voice thick with emotion and it pulled at my heart.

Grandma smiled, her eyes glinting. Her frail hand shook as she slowly brought it up. At first, Lucas just stared at her until he realized that she wanted to touch him then he awkwardly lowered his face toward her hand. 

Doris palmed his cheeks, “You’re such a sweet boy, Lucas. You’ve always been and you always say the right thing.” 

Lucas smiled. “Please, get well soon,” he said and I could swear that his voice. quivered. I wanted to hug him to me and tell him that Grandma would be fine even if I had no idea if she would be but Doris needed this time with him. 

“For you?” Her smile widened then it dimmed “ghtly that you could hardly see. it, “I will if I could.” 

I quickly looked down when I felt the wetness on my cheeks. I stealthily flicked my cheeks with my thumb. I swallowed as the foreboding feeling I felt spread wider. 

I quickly wore a too bright smile as Doris gaze fell on me. There was a hint of a smile on her lips as it remained on me for barely a second before she looked back at Lucas. My smile faded when she wasn’t looking anymore. 

“Did you propose to Sydney already?” 

Lucas looked surprised as he looked from me to Doris. 

Doris let out a chuckle that ended with a cough wracking her body. Her eyes were watery when she looked back at Lucas, still smiling. “You look so surprised. No, Sydney didn’t tell me. I can see your mother’s ring on her finger.” 

Lucas nodded slightly, “Yes, I proposed to her.” 

“Where did you find it?” 

Lucas understood what she was referring to immediately. “At an auction we attended.”
