Chapter 756


    After the lunch break, everyone in the office was busy again.


    Tina came back with a stack of document copies and sat back into her chair. Still, she was worried


    about Emily, so she asked, "Emily, are you sure that your foot is okay?"


    Emily shook her left foot and said in a rxed tone, "It''s okay, don''t worry! This afternoon, I can go


    with you to deal with the news!"


    The sprained injury of her ankle was not serious, plus she was sent to the hospital in time. By the


    third day, her ankle had gone down, and she did not feel any pain anymore. Though she could not


    run or do some strenuous exercise, she could walk.


    At this moment, the phone rang, and Emily opened the drawer.


    As she saw the name disyed on the screen, she froze there-it should be the first call from Simon


    after the divorce. Since she left the hospital a few days ago, she had never seen him again...


    At that time, when she returned home, Selena stared at her with that furious and startled look.


    Thinking of this, Emily was amused and could not help shaking her head helplessly.


    "Hello... Beast?"


    From the other end of the line came Simon''s deep voice. "I''m downstairs. Come down to see me."


    Emily, stunned, looked at the blinds subconsciously. "What''s the matter?"


    "Come down, and then we''ll talk!" Simon dropped this sentence and hung up.

    Emily frowned and hesitated for two seconds before telling Tina that she would leave for some time.


    Then, she walked out of the office with her mobile phone.


    As she came out from the rotating door of the lobby on the first floor, she could see the ck


    Cayenne parked at the side of the road from a distance. In a greyish ck suit, Simon leaned


    against the door of the co-pilot seat, with a burning cigarette in his hand. On his handsome face, the


    sun cast some deep and shallow shadows.


    Many times before, he stood like this to pick her up after work.


    Sometimes, they went to the supermarket on the way and sometimes drove home directly. On the


    way, he would hit on her with some amorous words...


    Emily took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Slowly, she moved over. When she approached


    him, she saw him taking a long drag on his cigarette, and his cheeks had sunk in deep.


    She walked over and asked with a frown, "Why do you want to see me?"


    "Are you free now?" Simon blew out a stream of smoke.


    Then, his peach blossom eyes looked up into her face. In the cloud of smoke, they looked dark and


    deep.


    Emily''s heart skipped a beat. She asked nkly, "Simon... What''s wrong with you?"


    The Adam''s apple of Simon bobbed up and down, and he said in a low voice, "Grandma''s condition


    has worsened. She suddenly fell into aa this morning and has been transferred from the


    sanatorium to the hospital!"


    "What?!" Emily cried out in a low voice.


    "Now the medical group is studying her case. At present, they can only continue to use


    chemotherapy to suppress the cancer cells. If it doesn''t work, she has to undergo an operation


    again!" Speaking of this, Simon put out the cigarette in his hand. "If it''s convenient for you, will you


    go to the hospital with me to see her? She was talking about you before she passed out!"


    Emily nodded without hesitation. "Okay!"


    The ck Cayenne drove away from the office building and joined the flow of cars.


    Grandma liked Emily a lot. Since she knew Emily and Simon got married, she felt happy whenever


    Emily was with her. With happiness overflowing from the bottom of her heart, she had a big smile on


    her face the whole time.


    In fact, Emily loved grandma in the same way and treated her as nicely as she did to her


    grandmother.


    Now when Emily learned that grandma fell ill again, her heart was invaded by worry. Grandma was


    fine after the operation four years ago, but four yearster, when she grew older, and her physical


    condition worsened, it would be risky for her to have an operation...


    In the car, Emily sent Tina a message, telling her to ask for a leave for her.


    The car got off the overpass and drove into the hospital. As Simon entered the hospital building, he


    took a final puff at the third cigarette and ground it into the ashtray through the rising white smoke.


    He looked sad and serious. Emily knew that her grandmother was very important to him!


    Aftering out of the elevator, Simon slowed down a little. She nced sideways at him and


    faintly said, "I haven''t told my grandma that we''re divorced because I''m afraid that she will be sad.


    With her weak physical condition, she can''t stand any bad news. So, I think we''d better not tell her


    this!"


    "I know!" Emily nodded.


    Four years ago, he married her because he wanted his sick grandmother to be happy and ept


    the operation. He came to ask for her help only because Addy was not with him today...


    Before grandma, they acted as if they were a happy couple. Today, Emily knew that she had to do


    the same thing.


    The ward was near. Emily turned her head and said with a soft voice. "I''ll keep it a secret from


    grandma too!"


    "Emm." Simon gave her a light smile.


    When she arrived at the door of the ward, she hesitated to move forward. At this time, a big palm


    with clear lines stretched out to her.


    Emily just stood there in a daze.


    Simon''s pretty eyesnded on her face as she said in a low voice, "Emily,ter on, please perform


    as well as you can!"


    A trace of bitterness crawled upon Emily''s heart, but she managed to force a smile.


    When Emily put her hand in his palm, she had a feeling of familiarity. Then, she took his slightly cold


    hand, like what she did four years ago. Meanwhile, with a smile, she nodded. "Don''t worry. I will!"


    Simon''s eyes darkened. Deep in his heart, he liked her sweet smile, even if it was a fake one.


    The ward''s door was pushed open, and they walked into the ward, hand in hand.


    Grandma looked much worse than thest time when they met at the sanatorium. She was in a


    hospital gown, and on the back of his hand was a needle connected to the transfer tube. Every two


    seconds, two medicine drops would fall and flow into her body. This sad scene made Emily feel like


    crying.


    Emily could not help choking with sobs, "Grandma!"


    "Emily, here,e here!" When grandma saw her, she smiled brightly though her face was a little


    pale. "Oh, why are you looking so sad? Look at me; I''m in good condition! Don''t worry about me. I''m


    fine!"


    "Grandma, you will get better!" Emily said seriously.


    "Well, I also believe it!" Grandma nodded with a smile. "Emily, whenever I see you, I''ll feel much


    better and won''t feel any pain at all! However, when I woke up recently, I only saw Simon. In the


    past two weeks, you did not visit me in the sanatorium. I thought you''ve split up with Simon!"


    At this time, Simon gently put his warm palm upon her shoulder.


    Emily swallowed hard and steadied herself. Slowly, she raised her hand to cover his and said, "No,


    we''re fine..."
