Chapter 757


    "Then I can rest assured!" Grandma repeatedly nodded and blinked at her lovingly. "Emily, I''ve


    always been looking forward to you giving birth to a lively and cute great-grandson or great-


    granddaughter for me! Don''t worry. I''m fine and can help you bring up your children!"


    "..." Emily licked her lips.


    Looking into that pair of old but kind eyes, she was flustered and short of breath.


    Simon stepped forward and said in a low voice, "This bag of medicine has been used up. Grandma,


    I will take out the needle for you first and will go to ask the nurse if there''s a new one!"


    "Emm!" Grandmaughed and nodded.

    Simon skillfully withdrew the needle, handed her a medicinal swab to cover the pot, and walked out


    of the ward.


    As soon as he left, Grandma looked at her hesitantly and finally said, "Emily!"


    "Grandma, I''m listening!" Emily quickly said.


    Grandma took her hand and said in a kind voice, "Do you remember what I said to you before I had


    the operation?"


    Emily was stunned. She slowly nodded and said, "Yes..."


    "Four years ago, I asked you to take care of Simon if I died in the operating room. Today, I want to


    say the same thing to you!" Grandma caught Emily''s hand in both of hers and said in all


    earnestness with a sigh.


    This was a big promise. Grandma''s words gave Emily much more pressure now than when she


    heard the request for the first time. However, grandma did not know she and Simon had...


    Emily bit the corner of her mouth and said, "Grandma..."


    Grandma smiled kindly and said with determination. "You''re a good girl. I know I can trust you!"


    Emily could not utter a word. What she could do was lower her eyshes and bow her head to hide


    her sad expression behind her hair.


    After talking with grandma for some time, she left, gently closing the door. Then, through the small


    window on the door, she looked at grandma, who was lying in bed with her hands crossing on the


    chest. It seemed that she had quite a pleasant chat with Emily and was in a good mood. At this


    time, she was sleeping soundly, her face a little ruddy.


    Emily silently prayed, hoping that she could have a sessful surgery, like what had happened four


    years ago.


    After calling the nurse here, Simon went to find the doctor in charge and did note back. She


    looked around, walked to the end of the long corridor. As soon as she took a turn, she saw a tall


    and straight figure not far ahead with his back to her.


    Emily wanted to ask about grandmother''s condition, but when she suddenly heard him mention


    Addy''s name, she stopped there, feeling awkward to the extreme.


    After taking a closer look, she found that he was talking to the phone in his right hand.


    He was talking to Addy. As he stood with his back to her, Emily could not see his expression. So,


    she could only try to tell his attitude toward Addy from his voice.


    His voice was as low- pitched as always. Perhaps because she thought he liked Addy, Emily


    seemed to have noticed a hint of tenderness in his tone.


    "I''ll be working the day after tomorrow. Meet me in the hospital then!"


    Just when Emily was about to retreat and leave quietly, Simon hung up and turned around.


    She pretended to have heard nothing and took the initiative to say, "Grandma is asleep!"


    "Emm." Simon nodded and put the phone back into his pants pocket.


    Emily looked away from his pants pocket, looked up, and asked, "What has the doctor in charge


    told you? Will she recover?"


    As he heard this, a serious look appeared on Simon''s calm face, and he said, "It''s hard to say for


    now. It depends on the following treatment. I hope grandma can bear it!"


    "Of course, she will!" Emily said with conviction.


    "Emily, thank you so much for visiting my grandma!" said Simon, his beautiful eyes glinting happily.


    "You don''t have to thank me. She treats me very well, and it''s my pleasure to see her! Although we


    married on an agreement, we''ve been husband and wife. She has once been my grandma, so I


    shoulde here to visit her!" Emily shrugged, trying to appear rxed and elegant.


    Simon looked at the sun outside the window and said, "It''s time to get off work. I''ll take you home."


    "No, thanks. I have an appointment!" Emily shook her head.


    Simon''s pupils contracted, and he ventured. "Boyd?"


    Emily hesitated a little and nodded slowly. "Yes!"


    "Got it!" Simon smiled mockingly. Then he walked past her and left.


    She did not mean to answer him in that way, but she told the truth—she would go to meet Boyd in


    the evening. However, unlike a date in Simon''s mind, they got together only because of a


    construction report. Besides, they had already made an appointment yesterday.


    After talking about business, Boyd said, "Emily, I''ve dealt with Maeve!"


    As soon as she heard that name, Emily could not help frowning. Then, she looked up from the


    coffee cup to him.


    "Don''t worry. She will not trouble you again in the future!" Boyd continued, "She has been put in


    prison. A few days ago, she hired some people to harm you. Beyond that, there''s a witness to


    use her of framing your uncle four years ago. Therefore, she may have to be locked up in jails


    for a long time. I believe that with this costly lesson, she will restrain herself in the future!"


    Hearing this, Emily thought of his previous promise and nodded, "Boyd, thank you!"


    However, Boyd did not ept her thanks and said, "Well, you don''t have to thank me for this. You


    should thank Mr. Chin!"


    "Simon?" Emily was stunned.


    Boyd nodded and replied, "Yes, he secretly did all the things about Maeve for you. I was just helping


    him! Didn''t he tell you about it?"


    "No..." Emily shook her head slowly.


    If Boyd hadn''t mentioned it in this way, she might not have known it at all. They had met in the


    hospital an hour ago, and he only mocked her when knowing she was injured. Other than that, he


    did not talk about it anymore, and it seemed that he did not even intend to mention it!


    Boyd smiled and continued to exin, "Since I did not do it, I can''t take the credit. What''s more, I


    feel very ashamed to bring you harm. Now that everything has been settled, I am finally relieved!"


    "Yes!" Emily nodded.


    She turned her head and looked out of the window. There was a lot of traffic outside, and Simon''s


    pair of amorous eyes emerged in her mind.


    On the cardiac surgery floor in the private hospital, Addy was having a check-up.


    Aftering out of the examination room, Simon, who was in a doctor''s gown and held a report,


    walked to his expert office with Addy. After pushing the door open and going in, they sat down


    opposite each other at the desk.


    On that day, as Addy''s doctor in charge, Simon phoned her, asking her toe back to the hospital


    for a check.


    Simon looked at the report in his hand and said with a smile, "Addy, you recover well after the


    operation and don''t need to take western medicine anymore. I rmend a doctor of traditional


    Chinese medicine to you. To nourish yourself, you can go to get some Chinese medicine. Boil and


    drink the medicine for some time. Half a yearter, you can do a check-up again!"


    "Okay!" Addy nodded and took over the report and her case file. Then she asked with a smile,


    "Simon, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"


    "Dinner?" Simon raised his brows disapprovingly.


    Seeing this, Addy could not help shaking her head and hurriedly exined in a low voice. "Don''t tell


    me that you''ve forgotten what day it is today when you''re busy performing operations?"
