Cindy reached out to Jasper with slightly trembling hands. "Jasper, you're here. Let me have a closer look."
Jasper walked up to the bed, and Frank stepped aside to give him space.
Jasper sat down and held Cindy's hand. "What did the doctor say? Is it serious?"
Although Jasper had harshly denied his grandparents' suggestion over the phone about marrying Yelena, and he also used an unusual reason to tell them he did not like children, and that they could adopt children from an orphanage, he only did so to make them give up on the idea of him getting married.
He never meant to upset his grandmother.
However, now that his grandmother was in the hospital, Jasper felt both sorry for her and also a little guilty.
Jasper's parents passed away due to an accident when he was a kid. His grandparents had single-handedly raised him. Nobody else was closer to Jasper than his grandmother.
"I'm fine. It's a recurring sickness. I'll be alright after getting some fluids." Cindy's trembling hands calmed down a lot after being held by Jasper. She continued smiling kindly.
"Your grandmother is worried about you. You're already thirty, but you're still unmarried. We're both worried about you. Wouldn't it be nice if you got married sooner and had a child or two? We could still look after your children while we're physically fit to do so," Frank chipped in with an expression that suggested he was blaming Jasper.
After hearing what Frank said, Cindy nodded along. She gently held Jasper's hand. "Yeah, Jasper. You're not young anymore. You should start planning for a family. Yelena is a good girl. You've been practically engaged since you were kids."
Cindy then turned to look at Yelena, who stood not far away from the bed.
Yelena caught her gaze and quickly walked over. "Grandma," she called out sweetly.
Yelena's facial features were not particularly striking among the young women from rich families. She had large eyes, a sharp chin, and a face that resembled many popular internet celebrities. With a small body frame, large breasts, and full hips, many men would find her irresistible.
Yelena had on a short, black skirt by a certain high-end brand that was designed for autumn. Her long, fair legs were exposed.
