His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 149

"Well, I think I should go with you. Let me accompany you." Autumn received a call from Charles as soon as she finished her words. Isla took a glance at Autumn and then said, "Thanks. But there is no need to accompany me. I'll be just fine on my own. Your phone is ringing. Answer your phone."

As soon as she picked up the phone, Charles' voice was heard from the other end of the phone, but he sounded a bit serious. He just told her that he was waiting for her downstairs and then hung up the phone. When she turned around to explain it to Isla, she found that Isla had already left.

"Where did you go last night? I called you many times but you did not answer my calls." Autumn pretended to make a fuss when she got into the car. Usually Charles would explain to her patiently. However, this time he just took out a cigarette and ignited it.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Immediately Autumn perceived, something was wrong. "Can you tell me what happened, Charles?"

"Autumn, I have found your grandma, " replied Charles. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and looked at Autumn's eyes.

"What? Are you serious?" Autumn's eyes lit up upon hearing the news from him. "Where is she? Take me to her. Hurry up. I want to meet her right away."

"Don't be so anxious." Charles received the call from his private detective last night, so he went to see him immediately. In order to prevent Charles from finding Autumn's grandma, Wendy took her grandma out of the hospital and left her in the care of a distant relative in a remote countryside. Charles picked up her old grandmother there and brought her to the hospital. But she was seriously ill, and she was in critical condition. Her grandma was admitted to the operating room last night where Charles spent the whole night waiting just outside the operating room.

He did not deliberately refuse to answer her phone. He just did not want to tell Autumn about the real condition of her grandma, because he was afraid that it would drive her insane.

The doctor just told Charles that she had missed the optimal opportunity for treatment and that she only had a few days left to live. Autumn would lose her grandma soon.

"Is she fine? Did something happen to her?" It was supposed to be good news, but seeing Charles' heavy-laden state gave her an ominous feeling.

"Don't be so worried, Autumn. Please listen to me. I will tell you what happened." Charles tried to comfort her, but he had to tell her the truth. "I am sorry. I am really sorry, Autumn. If I found her just a little earlier..." Charles felt pitiful and apologized to her.

"It is not your fault..." Autumn was bathed in tears after she heard the truth from Charles. She took his hands and said, "Charles, please take me to meet her right now. Please. I've missed her so much."

"Okay. Don't be so anxious. I will take you there right now." He had arranged for the best ward as well as the most experienced doctor for her grandmother. Unfortunately, even after repeated diagnosis, he still got the same result.

There was nothing else he could do for her grandmother. What he could do, was to ask the doctors to try their best to alleviate the suffering of her grandma's illness.

Charles started the car and drove to the hospital. Autumn didn't expect for the journey to feel so long. She was so eager to meet her grandma. She waited anxiously until the car finally stopped at the hospital. Autumn opened the door and rushed out, but she didn't even know where her grandmother was.

"Don't be worried." Charles ran to her in a hurry and then held her hands, so as to give her strength, which relieved her somehow. Hand in hand, he brought her to her grandmother's ward.
