Chapter 157
Albert did not look good. His eyelids were drooping as he looked at Melanie. He could not say another
sentence.
The dean whispered to Melanie, “Mr. Lancaster has been calling your name since he regained consciousness.”
Melanie covered her grandfather with the blanket, saying, “Have some rest. You can tell me whatever you want to say tomorrow.
However, her grandfather refused to let go of her hand.
The corners of his eyes were drenched in tears as he held Melanie’s hand. He used all his might to say, “Mel, you’ve suffered a lot.”
He spoke slowly to make every word he said sound clear.
Melanie froze, yet she said nothing in response to it.
Albert was on a drip. He wanted to touch Melanie’s head, yet his arm fell before it could reach her head because he was weak.
It was 11:00 pm, and the hospital corridor was quiet.
Melanie stood in the corridor for a while before leaving the inpatient building.
She felt better and less suffocated when the warm night breeze blew past her.
She couldn’t get a caretaker for her grandfather for the time being, and it was impossible to let the dean accompany Albert. Thus, Melanie stayed there for the night.
The following morning, the dean brought the caretaker from the hospital to the ward, and Melanie
headed home.
Before leaving, she went to the doctor’s office to learn more about Albert’s condition.
Albert’s condition was not good, and he was getting old. Organ failure had worsened the state of his
health, and the doctor told Melanie to be prepared.
“The patient’s health is poor, and he has underlying diseases. The main cause of his blood pressure elevating was because he was agitated.”
The doctor reminded her, “You must pay attention to the patient’s emotions. We might be able to rescue him this time, but if it happens again, a stroke or hemorrhage in the brain might occur.”
Melanie nodded her head solemnly.
