Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 374

Grandma Emily couldn't shake the nagging suspicion gnawing at her heart, even if she couldn't quite accept it. She shook her head, murmuring softly, trying to convince either Rose or perhaps just herself. The idea that her own granddaughter, whom she had raised, could poison her son was unfathomable to her.

Rose, resigned, shook her head, casting a frosty glance at Grandma Emily before turning on her heel and walking away. She made another call to the prison to arrange a visit. If her hunch was right, Lillian would be facing a new charge—attempted murder. It was time to confront her ungrateful foster daughter.

After what seemed like an eternity, the emergency room doors finally swung open. Joshua, Watson, and Javier surged forward almost in unison.

“Doctor, how's Allie?” Joshua asked.

“Doctor, what's her condition?” Watson chimed in.

“Doctor, how's my daughter doing?” Javier added.

Everyone stood there, nerves taut, hearts pounding with hope yet dreading bad news. The lead surgeon pulled off his mask, a weary smile breaking through. “The patient is out of immediate danger. She’s being transferred to the ICU, and you can visit her in three days.”

Relief swept through the room. Joshua's vacant eyes gained a spark of hope, and the weight on his heart lightened a bit. He closed his eyes momentarily, then opened them, speaking earnestly, “Thank you, Doctor.”

The rest couldn't hold back their emotions, showering the doctor with gratitude. Particularly Javier, a man nearing fifty, sobbed until his eyes were red, his voice thick with emotion, “Thank you, Doctor, thank you so much...”

The doctor nodded and left. Allison was wheeled out by several nurses, and as Joshua watched her, pale and unconscious on the gurney, his heart twisted painfully.

Everyone wanted to get closer to Allison, but a nurse gently reminded them, “Please step back. We need to move her to the ICU, and she can't have visitors yet.”
