Chapter 192


    Carter had just undergone a check–up, and the doctor removed his mask, sighing, “It’s a good thing we


    acted just in time, otherwise, his situation could’ve been dicey”


    Carter had had heart surgery before, and although he was quite robust and had recovered well, he was


    getting on in years and had the typical old age issues. As hey in bed, listening to the doctor, it


    seemed that today he owed his life to Allison


    Zachary asked, “Doctor, how’s my father doing now?”


    The doctor replied, “He needs to rest, but he’s out of the woods now”


    Cora Lindberghh Hamilton also breathed a sigh of relief and together with Zachary, followed the doctor


    out to discuss details about Carter’s condition.


    In the ward, there were also Lucian, Kami, and George, while Aldan was standing about two meters


    away from the bed with a cane.


    Carter waved his hand, trying to shoo everyone away “Alright, alright, it’s not a big deal. You all can go


    home now”


    None of the younger ones moved Kami blinked “Grandpa, you really scared us!”


    Carter gently touched Kami’s hair and said, “Hey, I’m fine, aren’t I?”


    Kami leaned over the bed, and Carter said, “Aidan, you’re not in the best shape, you should head


    home. I don’t need so many people here. You guys don’t all have to stick around”


    Aidan nodded in agreement, saying. “Take care then ”


    Carter said to Kami, ‘Kami, you should go home too. George, you take Kami home.”


    Kami wiped away her tears. “Okay, grandpa, I’ll leave now ande see you tomorrow.”


    George nced at Lucian, told Carter to rest early, and then left with Kami.


    In the ward, only Lucian and Carter were left.


    Lucian sat down on the caregiver’s chair.


    Seeing that Carter was unharmed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Lucian, I don’t know how much longer I can hang on. You should settle your wedding with Penelope


    soon, so I can hold my great–grandchild”


    Lucian wasn’t sure why, but he felt a bit of resistance to the wedding It was as if he didn’t want to get


    married so soon. This feeling was strange. He didn’t have strong feelings for Penelope. If it weren’t for


    Penelope being pregnant, he might cancel the marriage and make it up to Penelope in other ways..


    At this moment, looking at Carter lying on the sickbed, Carter seemed to be giving hisst wishes.


    Lucian’s lips were pressed into a line: “I understand, grandpa”


    “As for Allison,” Carter started, ‘she saved me. If she ever needs something from us in the future, try to


    help her out as much as possible.”


    Upon hearing Allison, Lucian’s heart involuntarily pounded. He replied in a low voice, “I understand.”


    Penelope returned home and blew off some steam. Leah looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong? You


    had a good dinner, and now you’re throwing a tantrum at home.”


    Penelope didn’t dare say that, she was somewhat afraid of Leah.


    “It’s nothing”


    Leah scolded her, “You need to work on your temper. You’re going to be a youngdy soon.” She


    touched Penelope’s belly and said, “Don’t scare the baby. Your belly is the most precious thing now”

    “I know”


    “Mom, how’s Grace?”


    “I stopped the medication for two days, and she couldn’t hold on. She had a rejection reaction and has


    been in aa ever since.”


    Penelope frowned. “What if Allison finds out? If she does, it’ll be hard to control what happens next.


    You don’t know Mom, don’t kill Grace.”


    Leah said, “What are you afraid of? If she dies, it’s that bitch’s own fault!”


    “Mom, keep Grace alive. That bitch Allison–if she really goes mad, we can’t control her. I’ve mentioned


    the wedding to Lucian several times, but Lucian has never given a clear response. I’m afraid they want


    to take a DNA test first. Once the baby in my belly is born, they’ll check to see if it’s Lucian’s!
