My Reincarnated Wife Is A Little Too Sweet novel Chapter 9

It was grandma Catherine calling.

In her past life, she did not remember grandma Catherine calling her on this day.

Had she found out about the plan and wanted to warn her.

"Amanda darling, how have you been? It's been a while since the last time I saw you!"

"I'm fine grandma. How have you been?" Amanda responded politely.

"I'm fine. You know what today is right? Your engagement with Jason. I can't wait for you to become my granddaughter-in-law. I hope you have prepared yourself."

Amanda frowned when she heard grandma Catherine. 

It seems like she is not aware of the schemes and traps laid for her.

Then that made sense. If grandma knew the relationship between Jason and Vallery she would not have called her and she would probably be fighting with her family now.

Grandpa James feared his wife the most and something like that could only be done in the dark.

Amanda decided to tell her the truth to prevent her old soul from being shocked later.

"I'm afraid that won't happen grandma?" 

"Why. What are you saying?"

"Today, your family and Jackson's family are uniting, but unfortunately I'm not the bride."

"You are not the bride. Amanda,grandma's heart is in poor health and cannot take such shock. Can you be specific and explain it to me slowly."

"Jason and Vallery had been together since he went overseas and today is their engagement party. They only invited me and my mom to humiliate me and I cannot let that happen grandma."

"I'm sorry that I will not be your granddaughter-in-law but to me you are still my grandmother."

After Amanda was done talking, she waited for a long while but grandma did not say anything. She decided to hang up the phone. Her message was delivered and that was the most important. 

....

After hanging up the phone, Amanda turned to look at her mother only to realize that her face had turned pale.

She was clutching her heart and it seemed like she was in extreme pain.

"Mom, what is going on? Are you not feeling well?" Amanda was worried as she hurried to support her.

"Wha.....what... were you saying on the phone right now?" She gasped for air as she asked.

It then dawned on Amanda that her mom must have overheard her conversation with grandma on the phone just now.

"It's nothing. Let's go and see the doctor. I will explain to you later. You don't look good." Amanda supported her mother as they went back to see the doctor.

Things were not looking good at William's family because the matron had suddenly fainted.

Everyone was in a state of panick as they rushed her to the hospital.

"What happened? Why would your mother suddenly faint?" James voice was heard as he asked his daughter-in-law..

He was in the study when he heard the commotion only to come out and find his wife lying on the floor.

"I don't know dad. I was in the kitchen supervising the servants when I heard the commotion, when I came out, I saw mother lying on the floor holding her phone." Liz said in a trembling voice.

If something were to happen to the matron of the family, everything will be in chaos.

"Let's just wait for the doctor to complete the surgery."

James, Liz and her husband were worried but they had to be patient because Catherine had just been rushed to the emergency room and they did not know how severe her condition was.

Now they have to put hold on the engagement party because they can't do it without Catherine. 

.....

At the airport, Peter had already picked up Jason and were on their way to the villa when Jason received a call from his mother.

Peter shook his head. "No. I only told her  to dress up and attend the party. She knows that she is the one getting engaged and she even wanted to fetch you at the airport!"

"Have you told grandma yet?" Jason turned to his grandfather.

"Not yet. I wanted to explain to her after everything was done but I did not expect her to suddenly fall ill."

"Then what could have triggered her?"

Just as everyone was in deep thoughts, the door to emergency room opened.

The doctor came out covered in sweat, you could tell how intense that operation had been.

Everyone crowded around the doctor.

"Doctor how is my wife?"

"Doctor how is my mother, is she okay."

The doctor waved his hand to calm them down.

"The patient is now out of danger but she still has to stay under observation for the next 48 hours."

"What was the problem?" Jason asked and everyone stared at the doctor.

"The patient's heart was triggered. She suffered a huge shock causing heart attack. Her heart could not pump the oxygenated blood due to the shock that is why she fainted. But it's good you brought her in time, or else things would have been worse."

"Thank you doctor." Everyone bowed.

"She will wheeled to the ICU, you can go and take a look."

After the doctor was done, he walked away as the nurse wheeled grandma to the ICU.
