Chapter 205: Final goodbyes

But just then, notifications from every major platform began flooding my phone one after another.

Twitter.

News apps.

Entertainment headlines.

No matter which one I opened, the story was the same.

And attached to every article... was a photo of Alexander.

He sat outside the emergency room, leaning forward in a chair, exhaustion and worry written all over his face. The background behind him was blurred, but the tension in the image was unmistakable.

He was still wearing the same clothes he had left in earlier that morning.

My breathing caught.

So... he really had gone to the hospital.

Then why didn’t he tell me?

Why did no one tell me?

My eyes burned instantly.

I sniffed hard before hurriedly sitting upright.

"Maria!" I called out anxiously. "Tell Jim to come pick me up! I need to get to the hospital!"

I had to be there for Nana.

Maria quickly entered the room, clearly having already seen the news herself.

"Alicia," she said gently, trying to calm me down, "Mr. Alexander called earlier. He specifically asked that you stay home and rest. He said you shouldn’t go anywhere right now—you need to take care of yourself first..."

"I have to go!" I cried, tears suddenly spilling uncontrollably down my face.

Without waiting for Maria to respond, I grabbed my phone and immediately called Alexander.

The moment the call connected, I spoke before he even had a chance to say anything.

"Alexander," I choked out through tears, "tell Jim to come pick me up. I need to go to the hospital."

"Alicia, your health—"

"Don’t try to stop me!" I interrupted emotionally. "If the driver won’t come, then I’ll go by myself!"

Since my father’s death, my grandparents had been my only family.

Now Grandma was in surgery.

As her granddaughter... as the wife of her grandson...

How could I possibly stay home?

A brief silence came from the other end of the call.

Then Alexander’s voice lowered, serious and steady.

"Stay where you are. I’ll come get you myself."

"Please hurry..." I whispered weakly, tears slipping down my cheeks.

"Don’t cry," he said softly. "I’ll be there soon."

I bit down hard on my lip and nodded, muffling another sob before hanging up the call.

After quickly changing into something presentable, I sat anxiously on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to arrive.

Soon, I heard the sound of a car pulling into the entrance.

My heart tightened instantly.

I hurriedly slipped on my shoes and rushed out of the bedroom.

The moment Alexander stepped into the living room and saw me standing at the top of the stairs, his expression changed.

"Don’t move!"

He strode over immediately and scooped me into his arms before I could take another step.

His brows furrowed the moment he noticed my swollen eyes and tear-stained cheeks.

"Why did you get out of bed?"

"I only walked a few steps," I murmured weakly. "I’m fine."

"That’s not fine."

This time, I didn’t argue.

Instead, I quietly asked,

"How’s Grandma...? Is it really that bad?"

Alexander fell silent.

And in that silence, I understood everything.

My chest tightened painfully.

"Grandma was fine just a few days ago..." My voice trembled. "How could things suddenly become like this?"

Alexander paused for a moment, his gaze lowering slightly.

Then he finally spoke.

"The last time Grandma was hospitalized, Dr. Harrison already warned us that he couldn’t guarantee how much longer her condition would remain stable."

His voice was calm, but heavy.

"Her health has been declining for a while now. All we can do is hope for the best."

The moment he finished speaking, tears blurred my vision again.
