My dear lawyer novel Chapter 38

Vivian cried out in fear and sat up suddenly from the bed. A layer of cold sweat came out all over her body. Roe was still sleeping beside her.

Out of the window, the sky was still gray, the sun had not risen, but Vivian couldn't sleep again. She had been looking at Roe's sleeping face, as if only in this way can she feel at ease.

It was almost ten o'clock after Roe finished taking the drip. Vivian sent him back and had a meal at Grandma's home.

Grandma saw Roe come back excitedly, she also put on a happy smile, "That's OK, if you have no trouble."

"Grandma, I went to the zoo with my mom yesterday. There are many kinds of animals there!" Roe followed her grandmother and talked about the animals he saw.

Grandma's head was covered with silver hair and wrinkles. She always looked at Roe kindly with a smile. She seemed to listen carefully to the news he told about.

Vivian cleaned up the old house silently, listened to Roe's childish words, and repeated the things she needed to do every time she came back, her heart was also calm down.

"Roe, talk with grandma, and I'll cook." As long as Vivian stayed at home, she would cook on her own initiative.

Grandma knew Vivian's character. She looks gentle and quiet, in fact, she is more stubborn than anyone.

"Well." Roe replied with a clear voice.

Vivian showed a smile on the corner of her mouth. There was no gas stove in the kitchen, but the local stove. She needed to burn firewood to cook. She wanted to change the stove long ago.

But Grandma said that she was not used to using the gas stove. She also worried that it would be troublesome if the gas leaked, because there were only Roe and herself in the house.

Fortunately, some people in the village were glad to send firewood in her house regularly, as long as she gave a little money.

Vivian was quite busy at the kitchen, soon she finished cooking the rice and put it on the table.

They sat together to eat, Roe appeared to be particularly lively and cheerful.

After dinner, Roe stayed in the room by himself. There were books, pictures and many other gadgets that she bought for him in the room.

Grandma helped Vivian clean up the kitchen, then they began to talk.

"Vivi, when can Roe have the operation?"

"Almost. I've got in touch with the doctor. I'll take Roe out with me when I'm informed." Vivian brushed the bowls with her head down.

Grandma sat beside the stove and sighed, which made her old voice heavier. "Vivi, I don't want to blame you, you are smart and sensible, how can you make this low-level mistake?"

"You are still young. You can't live alone with Roe all your life. Your parents must be angry if they know your situation." Grandma sighed heavily.

"Are you going to hide the truth from Roe all your life?"

"Grandma, I am so sorry to let you worried about it. Roe is not a mistake. He is the most important treasure in my life." Vivian knew that grandma would definitely mention this matter again, and she answered as usual.

"Vivi, I am getting old. I don't know how long I can live. I used to worry about you most, now I worry about you and Roe. I leave nothing. Your grandpa only left an old house. What if I leave?"

Grandma certainly didn't think Roe was a mistake, but she knew how hard it was for a woman to raise a child by herself.
