    Chapter 148 Staying in the Hospital to Take Care of Carley


    Walter shook his head, “It’s still unclear.” On his usually calm face, even though he was restraining


    himself well, the tense expression still revealed his worry.


    “Roy wille by to take you home in a bit, be careful on the road,” Walter said, handing me the bag of


    medicine. Worried about Carley’s condition, he stepped out of the hospital.


    Upon seeing this, I followed him, catching up with him in a light jog and said, “I’ll go with you.”


    Walter nced at me and paused, not saying much. He gave a slight nod, which could be considered


    as an acknowledgement.


    On the car, there was silence all the way. Compared to the morning, the silence in the car at this


    moment seemed much more oppressive and heavy.


    Thirty minutester.


    Walter and I hurried to the hospital where Carley was, just arriving outside the emergency room, we


    saw Dale and the younger members of the Hinton family all waiting outside.


    Seeing Walter rushing over, everyone looked up.


    Walter looked at Dale, anxiously asking, “How is the person?”


    Dale furrowed his brow, his face full of worry as he said, “They’re still trying to save them.”

    Looking at the emergency room door shing with red lights, Walter’s eyes were very deep, and his


    brows were exceptionally furrowed.


    I nced at the younger members of the Hinton family, all sitting anxiously on the side benches, their


    faces filled with worry.


    I pursed my lips slightly, looking at Dale and asked, “What on earth happened to Dale? How could my


    perfectly fine grandmother fall from the attic?”


    With a face full of guilt, Dale sighed and med himself, “It was my momentary negligence. Carley got


    up early this morning, saying that the weather was good today and she wanted to go to the attic to


    watch the sunrise. Considering that River City had been cold and gloomy for more than half a month,


    and it was finally sunny, I agreed and apanied Carley to the attic to watch the sunrise and breathe


    some fresh air. After I took Carley up, she told me to go about my business and said that she would be


    fine for a few hours. I didn’t think much about it at the time, so I went to do other things, nning to pick


    her up after she finished watching the sunrise. But when I went to get her, she had already fallen from


    the attic and passed out.”


    After speaking, Dale’s aged eyes were moist, filled with guilt and self- reproach.


    I pursed my lips, refrained from asking more, gently soothed Dale with a few words, and then quietly


    waited outside the emergency room.


    Carley had aged, and although he looked robust in his daily life, the thing he feared most was falling.


    Once an ident urred, other problems would follow one after another.


    About two hourster, the operating room door was opened, and a doctor in a white coat came out.


    Before he could speak, the younger members of the Hinton family rushed up to him, asking about


    Carley’s condition.

    The doctor looked around, his face slightly serious, and said, “The patient is currently not in life-


    threatening condition, but the situation is not very optimistic. Because of her old age, there is a slight


    internal bleeding. Her age is too old, the risk of surgery is too high, so we can only use drugs to


    stabilize her condition. Next, we need to continue observing her in the ICU. Family members don’t need


    to crowd here, just leave one or two to stay here.”


    After speaking, the doctor removed his gloves and left.


    Upon seeing this, Dale nced at Walter, seemingly asking him how to arrange things.


    Walter’s gaze was drawn away from the closed resuscitation room, and he gave a few orders. The


    Hinton family didn’t have many direct descendants, apart from the children of two uncles, there were no


    others. Among the uncles of the Hinton family, only Uncle Two had a son, William. Because he married


    early, William was only a few years older than Walter, so he was considered the eldest brother in the


    Hinton family.


    But Carley had always cared for, Walter since they were young. When Carley was too busy to handle


    the affairs of the Hinton family, it was naturally Walter who took care of them. Now that something had


    happened to Carley, it was only natural that Walter was the one arranging everything for the Hinton


    family.


    After celebrating Carley’s birthdayst time he was back in the country, William went abroad again to


    manage the assets of the Hinton family, and couldn’t return for a while. The only ones left in River City


    were the two uncles and aunts of the Hinton family and his own. daughter-inw.


    William’s mother was in poor health. Although she usually lived in the old house, she mostly stayed in


    her own yard due to her illness. If it hadn’t been for Carley’s sudden incident, she wouldn’t have

    As for the Hinton family’s third uncle, due to health issues, he had been relying on medication for the


    past few years. His wife also left for another country with their child a couple of years ago


    Such arge family, but in the end, the only ones who could spare the time to take care of Carley were


    naturally just the two younger generations, Walter and William.
