Chapter 72


    Chapter 72


    Cornelia quickly grabbed her suitcase and hopped into a taxi rushing to the hospital


    On the taxi ride, Ryan’s call came through again, like a nagging reminder, ‘Ms. Stewart, we were all


    goodst night, what the heck are you doing today?”


    This was indeed Cornelia’s fault. “Mr. Cowell I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to bail, but something came up


    at home and I have to deal with it. Can we reschedule the divorce after I’m done with


    this


    The divorce won’t take long. Youe and get the paper work done, and then I’ll drive you wherever


    you need to go, how’s that?” As long as Cornelia woulde to get the divorce, he was willing to do


    anything, even beg her on his knees.


    Tm not in Riverton right now, please stop calling me, I’ll contact you when I’m done “With that, Cornelia


    hung up and turned off her phone


    At this moment, all she could think about was her grandma’s condition, her heart was in a mess, and


    she had no mood to deal with the divorce.


    Ryan looked at his phone dejectedly, realizing that she wasn’t in Riverton, and there was no way she


    could make it to the divorce within an hour.


    ncing at Marcus again, this time without any confidence, he said, “Marc, your wife said she’s not in


    Riverton.”


    Marcus sneered, “You really believe a woman like that?”


    Ryan thought he was right, “Fine, I’ll go find her myself. As long as she’s in Riverton today, I drag her


    here, even if I have to tie her up.”


    When Cornelia arrived at the hospital, her grandma was still in the ICU, and she couldn’t see her yet.


    She had to learn about her grandma’s condition from the doctor first.


    Her grandma had uremia, and the best treatment was a kidney transnt, but it was hard to find a


    suitable kidney donor, especially considering her grandma’s age. So, for now, dialysis was the only


    option.


    The medical facilities in Rosenberg were mediocre, and the doctor said that Riverton Hospital was the


    authority in this field, but it was more expensive.


    Cornelia only had her grandma as family, and no matter how expensive the treatment was, she couldn’t


    give up. She made up her mind, “Dr. Lopez, Ill take my grandma to Riverton for treatment


    Hearing Cornelia’s decision, Dr. Lopez nodded approvingly, “You’re more reliable than your uncle and


    aunt. The olddy didn’t cherish you for nothing”


    Looking through the ss window at her grandma with various tubes attached to her, Cornelia felt


    suffocated with heartache, “Has grandma been thinking of me all this time?”


    Dr. Lopez said, “When she’s in a daze, she mumbles about her Nelly. When she wakes up briefly, she’s


    looking for her Nelly, and something like Jay, too?”


    It wasn’t a surprise that her grandma was thinking of her, but Cornelia didn’t expect her to think of


    Jeremy as well. If her grandma knew she was supposed to get a divorce with Jeremy today…


    Cornelia’s face turned pale with fright, not daring to think further.


    Seeing Cornelia’s pale face, Dr. Lopez patted her on the shoulder, “You don’t need to worry too much,


    as long as the olddy can make it through today, shell be fine once she’s transferred to the general


    ward. But, you can’t let her live alone anymore. Elderly people are prone to idents when living


    alone, and you need to pay more attention. If it wasn’t for the worker who regrly delivers water to the


    olddy, noticing her copsed at home and calling an ambnce, the oue could have been much


    worse.”


    Just imagining it, Cornelia was already scared. If no one had discovered her grandma’s copse, her


    grandma might have left her forever, just like her dad.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
