His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 187

"Emily, say no more." Arthur said with a frown, "You are not well now. Let me carry out a checkup for you."

Arthur stretched out his hand to check her situation, but she stopped him and said, "Arthur, that's not necessary. You are a good doctor, but I know my health condition very well. I know I'm dying."

Emily had given her whole life in service of the Zhao family. Arthur was deeply grieved by her physical condition. "Emily, you..." he murmured.

"Don't be sad." Emily smiled. "Everyone dies. I can take care of Bowen in the other world after my death. Arthur, could you please take Autumn home with you?"

Emily worried that Arthur would refuse to acknowledge Autumn because of Wendy. She asked with a hopeful expression, "You will take Autumn back home, right? After all, she is your granddaughter."

Before Arthur could say anything, Emily continued, "Autumn is a good girl. She was well behaved just like Bowen. She was also obedient towards Bowen and me. Sometimes too obedient that Wendy manipulated her. That's why I'm so worried about her."

"Rest assured, I'm here to take her back." Arthur patted Emily's hand to comfort her. "I will take both of you back to the Zhao family."

Emily was elated at Arthur's first half of the sentence, but after listening to the last half of it, she frowned slightly. "I don't have to."

It was enough for Emily that Autumn could go back to the Zhao family. She had long felt responsible for Bowen's early death because she didn't take good care of him. She fell into low spirits and refused to get treatment. She also had to take care of Autumn who was just a child at that time. As a result, her health gave in.

"That's an order." Arthur insisted. Emily had devoted herself to the Zhao family. Arthur made up his mind to have her spend her remaining years in happiness.

Emily said no more. Arthur adjusted the covers for her and said, "I'm going to check with the doctor regarding your condition. Have a good rest, Emily."

When Autumn came back to the ward, Arthur had already left. Autumn asked, "Grandma, who was that man? I have never seen him before."

"He..." Emily hesitated. She was unsure whether she should tell Autumn his true identity "He is an old friend of mine. We haven't seen each other for decades. I didn't expect to see him here. Maybe he heard that I was ill and came here to visit me."

"Is he your old sweetheart?" Autumn was joking, but Emily did not find it funny. "Autumn, how can you say that?"

This was the first time that Emily got mad at her. Autumn was startled and immediately retreated, "Grandma, please don't get angry. I was just joking."

"Please don't make such jokes." Emily said in a cold tone, "I'm tired and want to rest. You may leave now."

"Okay." Autumn smiled awkwardly, "Grandma, have a good rest. I'll be back later."
