Chapter 1487


    Grace also arrived at the news. As soon as she saw him, she asked with a frown, "How about


    Mom? Is she in a serious condition?"


    However, Charlie did not speak. He just took the cigarette off his thin lips, threw it on the ground,


    and stomped it out.


    Grace stood beside him, raised her hand, and tried to touch his arm.


    She didn''t expect Charlie to dodge and avoid her. Then her fingertips missed him.


    Grace was stunned, and her hand moved slightly.


    Charlie ignored her. He sat on the bench with his head buried between his legs and was deeply


    silent.


    He thought that if Grace had gone to the restaurant this morning, then the incident would have been


    avoided.


    He hated Grace as well as himself.


    Grace could see that he was indifferent and cold to her.


    Pursing her lips, she didn''t say anything. She''d also heard that Mckenzie had fainted in the kitchen


    while stirring the ingredients.


    Heined that she hadn''t agreed to work in the restaurant in the morning. If she had agreed,


    Mckenzie wouldn’t have gone to the restaurant when she wasn''t feeling well.


    It seemed she really couldn''t evade the responsibility for this.


    Grace couldn''t argue with him. She sat on the bench with him and waited without talking.


    Waiting had always been the longest and most painful process.


    They did not speak to each other during the whole waiting time. They remained silent.


    Charlie''s thoughts were all over the ce. He kept thinking about the mistakes he had made.


    If he had agreed to go back to live in the Morgan family''s vi, then his mother would not have been


    so stressed out!


    Even though he had been coaxing Grace and had said so many reassuring words tofort her,


    she still refused to go to the restaurant.


    And this incident could have beenpletely avoided.


    He felt a deep sense of remorse. Mckenzie was Charlie''s mother, who gave birth to him and raised


    him, but he hadn''t taken her requests to heart.


    His mother’s surgery was ongoing. The lights in the operating room finally went out in the afternoon.


    The doctor told Charlie that the surgery was a sess. However, his mom was not awake yet.


    The doctors couldn''t guarantee that if she would wake up!


    And the doctors weren''t sure if Mckenzie would be paralyzed or a vegetable even after waking


    up.


    After Mckenzie was transferred to the intensive care unit, Charlie stayed close to her.


    Grace sat there with Charlie. She kept wanting to say something, but what could she say at this


    point?


    Because Mckenzie couldn''t wake up, Grace had to manage the restaurant all by herself. Not only


    did she have to take care of the ounting issues, but she also had to cook the ingredients.


    Grace was really tired, but she had no right toin about it.


    Her rtionship with Charlie also seemed to have dropped to a freezing point. They rarely talk to


    each other.


    Summer also came to visit Mckenzie in the hospital and bought a fruit basket. Then she sat across


    the cafe with Grace and said, "How did things get this way between you and him?"


    "Mckenzie called Charlie the night before she fainted and asked me to go to the restaurant the next


    day. And Mckenzie said she wasn''t feeling well, but I refused to go there. After that, Mckenzie called


    Charlie again the morning before she fainted to say she wasn''t feeling well and asked me to go to


    the restaurant. Then, I told Charlie that her mother was probably faking it. I still refused her mother''s


    request and didn''t go to the restaurant. And something like that happened to his mother this


    afternoon."


    Hearing Grace''s words, Summer''s brow furrowed.


    "If Mckenzie could never wake up, would you two have to be like this?"


    "I don''t know." Grace leaned back in her chair.


    "s." Summer let out a long sigh. "Let''s hope she wakes up.”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
