Chapter 242


    In the county hospital.


    In the night, a taxi with an Ice city license te stopped at the front door of the hospital. The door


    opened and a slender figure rushed out from inside. The backpack was open, and she even forgot


    to take the change from the driver in front of her.


    Wendy''s feet were in disarray, and all she could think of was to hurry up and hurry up more.


    Aunt Emma sounded panicked on the phone. She said that she found Wendy''s grandmother fainted


    on the ground when she came back from the small sales department. She had now gotten a car to


    take Grandma to a hospital in a neighboring county, but she didn''t say the details, just kept


    stressing for Wendy toe back soon.


    At night, the hospital seemed to be very quiet.


    When Wendy came out of the elevator, she saw a slightly fat figure at the end of the corridor pacing


    back and forth. She ran over and said, "Aunt Emma, where is my grandmother?"


    When Aunt Emma saw Wendy, her eyes suddenly turned red.


    "Aunt Emma, why don''t you talk? Where is my grandmother?" Wendy was even more frightened


    when she saw this. She looked at the emergency room in front of her and asked anxiously, "Is she


    in the emergency room? How is it going? Is there any danger? I have to take her to Ice city as soon


    as possible!"


    "Wendy!" Aunt Emma grabbed her hand with a look of grief on her face. "Listen to me. I was scared


    too! When I came in, I found your grandmother lying on the floor, she wouldn''t answer no matter


    what I called her. She was out of breath. So I asked someone to help me call the ambnce and


    sent her to the county hospital without stopping. The doctors and nurses have been doing their best


    to save her! Wendy, your grandmother is old enough that even if something unexpected happens,


    it''s normal!"


    actually started to cry again at the end of the story.


    Wendy was stunned all of a sudden, and she could feel the panic spreading infinitely. "Aunt Emma,


    how is my grandmother now?"


    Aunt Emma knew that she couldn''t hide anything from her. She held Wendy''s hand tightly and said


    word by word in a choked voice, "Wendy, you have to hold on! Your grandmother has passed


    away..."


    "What?" Wendy was wobbling on her feet.


    All of a sudden, her mind went nk, and there were only a few words echoing in her head.


    Her grandmother had passed away...


    She had passed away...


    She''s been running to the hospital every day since Grandma got sick over a year ago. Even though


    Grandma had to face dangerous situations more than once, Grandma always survived them. And


    within her perception, it never urred to her that her grandmother would leave her. "No, it''s


    impossible! Grandma is fine, and we''ve talked on the phonest night. She sounded very strong on


    the phone! Moreover, when she was in Ice City, Dr. Chin has already done the surgery and she is


    recovering well and will not have any problems..."


    "Wendy, you''d better get in there and see her onest time!" Aunt Emma kept wiping her tears.


    "Your grandmother is still lying in bed. Go and see her off! If I hadn''t stopped them, they would have


    pushed your grandmother to the morgue!"


    The word "morgue" seems to have struck a nerve with her, and Wendy''s feet went weak and she


    suddenly knelt down.


    Aunt Emma quickly helped her up and walked into the consulting room.


    The room was very quiet, even quieter than the corridor. There was a person lying on the bed,


    covered with a piece of white cloth.


    Wendy stumbled over, and her hands trembled a few times before pinching a corner of the white


    cloth. There was still a little bit of luck in her heart, hoping that what she had heard was all a


    hallucination and that it wasn''t Grandma lying there. However, when she opened the white cloth and


    saw the face that was lifeless, she waspletely devastated, like a piece of her heart had been


    ripped out.


    She reached out to touch her grandmother, but the body was cold.


    No matter how hard she rubbed and covered it, it was of no use. Grandma seemed to be asleep.


    Shey there motionless and looked like a statue. Tears blurred Wendy''s vision for a moment,


    gushing out inrge drops.


    Wendy still couldn''t believe it, it''s more like she couldn''t take it. She shook her head and fell


    backward.


    She wished it was just a nightmare. But when she opened her eyes again, there was still a pungent


    smell of disinfectant at the tip of her nose, reminding her that everything had happened. It was


    already the next morning when the sunshine came in.


    Thinking of Grandma''s serene face when she opened the white cloth, Wendy suddenly sat up.


    There was a pain on the back of her hand. She looked down to see that the I.V. tube rolling pin


    inserted in her hand had turned red. A figure next to her quickly stepped forward and hurriedly held


    her hand.


    "... Felix?"


    Wendy opened her mouth in bewilderment and said in a hoarse voice.


    Felix lowered his head to make sure that she''s OK. Fie gently held her shoulder and could not hide


    his concern about her in his eyes. "It''s me, Wendy, how do you feel?"


    "Felix, my grandmother, she''s..." Wendy couldn''t finish her words and choked with sobs.


    "Wendy, I already know! You are so emotional that you passed out. When I called you, the nurse


    here answered the phone, so I drove herest night. Your grandmother can''te back, I''m sorry


    for your loss." At the end of his words, Felix sighed softly. "No, no..." Wendy shook her head, but


    she knew that there''s nothing she could do about it.

    "Wendy, people will die sooner orter. Grandma was old, and there will be a day like this sooner or


    later!" Felix continued in a gentle voice, "The body has been sent to the morgue. You have to cheer


    up. Grandma''s funeral has to be arranged, or you can''t keep her in the cold morgue, can you?"


    Wendy covered her mouth, and her tears kept falling down.


    Felix sat by the bed, put his arms around her shoulder and tried to give her strength. "Wendy, are


    you going to let your grandmother stay in the country or take her back to Ice City?"


    Wendy''s lips trembled uncontrobly. After a long time, she finally made a sound. "Stay in the


    country..."


    At that time, Grandma insisted on moving back to her hometown to live when she was discharged


    from the hospital. Grandma told Wendy that Wendy''s grandfather was buried in the countryside.


    Grandma missed the life she had with Grandpa.


    "Okay, don''t worry. I''ll help you take care of Grandma''s funeral." Felix nodded.


    "Thank you..." Wendy said in a hoarse voice.


    Felix sighed and brought the porridge he bought from the breakfast shop early in the morning, trying


    to get her to take a couple of bites.


    But Wendy shook her head and refused. She just took a small sip of the warm water handed over


    by Felix, not enough to moisten dry lips. Felix was worried and concerned. He frowned and asked


    while thinking of something, "Where is Mr. Hogg? Why is he not with you at this time?"


    When it came to Charlie, Wendy''s eyes were even wetter.


    It would be great if he was by her side at this moment. She really missed him.


    Wendy said in a hoarse voice, "He went to America..."


    Speak of the devil, Wendy''s cell phone beside the pillow rang, showing the name of "Charlie".
