Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 720

Theresa came down from the taxi with a bouquet of fresh flowers in her arms. She saw a group of medical staff rushing out of the hospital with a stretcher. They quickly opened the door to the backseat of the other car at the entrance to get an unconscious man to the emergency room as soon as possible.

She took a glance only, and didn’t pay too much attention to the scene as she didn’t know Officer Miller. She didn’t tell Armand that she was coming to the hospital as she wanted to give him a surprise. Besides, she wanted to visit Armand’s grandma too.

After all, she was Armand’s only relative now. Now that she was hospitalized, Theresa felt obliged to pay her a visit.

When she arrived at the ward, she asked for Elizabeth’s room number from the nurse station and headed over.

Armand was a filial grandson. Elizabeth was staying in the VIP room. It was silent and clean there, but the air was still filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

When Theresa reached the door of Elizabeth’s ward, she raised her hand to knock on the door, but before she could do so, she heard Armand’s wail of pain. That made her smile a little.

Elizabeth seemed to be in pretty good spirits. She still had the energy to beat Armand up.

Theresa put her hand down, and when she was about to knock on the door again, Elizabeth’s furious voice came through, “Armand, don’t fool me anymore. You said that Theresa had forgiven you, so where is she? You lied to me, didn’t you? You don’t want to give me my great-grandson, do you?”

Her hand froze mid-air. ‘Great-grandson?’

She knew better than anyone that Elizabeth’s wish was to have a great-grandson. When she was with Armand in the past, Elizabeth was already eager.

“I did not lie to you! As for your great-grandson, that’s my private business. Please, grandma, don’t bug me about it anymore, okay? I’ve had enough listening to that. Please just let it go.”

“That’s my only wish. I just want you to get married and give me my great-grandson. I wouldn’t care about any of your other matters.” Elizabeth was particularly firm on this.

Armand felt that his head was about to explode.

She nagged about this all day long, and it was driving Armand nuts.

“I don’t like kids, and I don’t want to have children…”

Slap!

“Ouch!” Armand held onto his arm, “Grandma, how do you have so much strength? You’re going to disable me if you hit me again. By then, how can I have children?”

“You’re not disabled now, and I don’t see you have children too. Let me tell you this, Armand. You’re not a kid anymore, don’t joke around. I’m serious about this, and you cannot let me die with regrets.”

“You’re going to live forever…”

“Kiddo!” Elizabeth gave him a slap on the arm again. Armand leaned closer towards her, “You might as well beat me up to death now. I’m going to go crazy from your naggings anyway.”

Elizabeth was truly furious now, “Do you think I like to nag you? If you have brothers, I wouldn’t care if you’re single for your whole life. Do you think it was easy for me to raise you?”

As she said, her eyes became teary, “Your dad passed away just like that, and your grandpa left me a long time ago too…”

Armand was afraid that his grandmother would bring up the past. He quickly drew a piece of tissue and wiped her tears.

“I won’t ask much from you. I just don’t want to see you single when I’m dead. How can I die in peace? How could I, knowing that our family’s going to cease to exist after this generation?”

Armand laid at the side of the bed irreverently. He didn’t want to talk nor move.

He really did not want to accompany her here.
