Chapter 90: Grandma’s Illness
Mrs Casey could not have imagined that old lady Elsa, who was so powerful, would just be fainted by her own words! She thought about it, although she was at fault for going AWOL and deciding on York Charlie and Shireen Miller’s marriage, the fundamental reason was that bitch Blanche Capra! If it wasn’t for her, would she have been in such a hurry to get the marriage fixed? If she hadn’t compelled York, how could the old lady have decided that she was York’s future daughter-in-law? If the old lady hadn’t decided on her, then why would she be so angry when she chose Shireen Miller as York’s wife?
Isn’t it all because of her?
Now that the old lady has fainted, she would like to see how she can still have the face to stand in front of herself with a straight face. Mrs. Casey thought this way, while urgently sending the old lady Elsa to the hospital, waiting for the old lady Elsa to enter the first aid room, she picked up the phone to notify York Charlie.
York Charlie was on his way home with Blanche Capra when he heard Mrs. Casey’s urgent and angry voice and turned the car around.
Blanche Capra was startled by his sudden movement, “What’s the matter? What was the emergency on the phone?” She had never seen him look so flustered, and for a moment she was also raising a heart.
York Charlie did his best to drive as fast as he could, keeping his eyes straight ahead as he mouthed, “Grandma suddenly fainted, we have to go to the hospital.”
Blanche Capra froze as if muttering, “… How?”
Blanche Capra suddenly remembered grandma Elsa saying three times that she wouldn’t make it much longer, and it was only when she actually fainted that Blanche Capra realized just how serious this matter was. grandma Elsa would not … would not … She didn’t dare to think about it anymore, a heart that sank so hard, as if there was a bottomless pit there, sinking all the way down, as if there was no end to it.
In such a mood, Blanche Capra and York Charlie finally reached the hospital where old lady Elsa was.
York Charlie called Mrs. Casey as they walked.
“Mum, how’s it going?”
Mrs Casey called back, “She’s been resuscitated and is in the ward.” Mrs Casey gave the number of the ward before hanging up the phone.
York Charlie’s tense nerves finally loosened a little, he pulled up Blanche Capra and headed for old lady Elsa’s ward.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
When they both arrived, York Charlie was the first to enter the ward to see old lady Elsa, while Blanche Capra was stopped outside by Mrs. Casey.
“What are you going to do? You’re not allowed in!” Mrs. Casey said angrily.
Blanche Capra was worried and anxious to see old lady Elsa, so she softened her attitude, called Mrs. Casey “Auntie”, and said eagerly, “Please let me go in and take a look, I’ll come out as soon as I’ve had a look! I’ll have a look and come out!”
Mrs. Casey smiled coldly, “Ridiculous! Who are you? Why should I let you in to see the old lady? Who are you to go in to see the old lady? Haven’t you received the news that York and Shireen Miller’s marriage has been announced and will take place next spring? Don’t get your head in the sand! You’d better stay away from every single one of us in the Charlie family from now on! We don’t want to see you!”
“Stop it!” A voice full of anger suddenly rang out, and Mrs. Casey and Blanche Capra both looked over to see York Charlie standing in the doorway of the ward with a face full of suppressed anger and an icy aura.
Blanche Capra was still surprised at what Mrs. Casey had just said: she said that York Charlie and Shireen Miller’s marriage had been announced and that the wedding would take place next spring …
At this moment, York Charlie came over step by step, took Blanche Capra’s right hand in his left hand, but his eyes looked at Mrs. Casey coldly, “I said why grandma suddenly fainted, so it was you, grandma’s daughter-in-law, my own mother, who did it? May I ask, you are such a daughter-in-law, and you also unscrupulously forced me to marry a woman you yourself favoured, you have been a human being to such an extent, what qualifications do you have to accuse others?”
Mrs. Casey did not expect him to say such gouging words, immediately as a sledgehammer to hit her to the seven orifices of the pain, her own son, for others actually accuse their own mothers, that the coldness in the eyes of the almost frozen her whole body stiff, the heart is actually also panicked and afraid, a moment can not be accepted at all.
York Charlie stopped paying attention to Mrs. Casey and turned to Blanche Capra, “Grandma wants to see you, go in.”
Blanche Capra nodded her head and gave him a complicated look before walking towards the ward.
Inside the ward, Blanche Capra saw grandma Elsa lying quietly on a white hospital bed, covered with a white comforter and an oxygen tube over her mouth and nose. She walked over to her bedside and grasped her warm hand in one hand, unable to hold back the redness in her eyes.
“Grandma … “In fact, she was really afraid of going into the hospital, let alone seeing someone close to her lying in a hospital bed like this.
“Little … Brandi … “old lady Elsa slightly opened her hazel eyes, and tried hard to recognise the face in front of her, ” You’ve grown up? Now … Grandma can’t even … recognise you.”
The tears in Blanche Capra’s eyes suddenly fell, dripping onto the back of OLD LADY Elsa’s hand.
“It’s … raining?” old lady Elsa mumbled, after a while and then seemed to think of something, “Oh no, little Brandi is here, afraid that … little Brandi is crying?”
Blanche Capra couldn’t hold back any longer and whimpered out in a low voice, “Grandma, Grandma, get well soon and little Brandi will stop crying.”
The corners of old lady Elsa’s mouth curved as if she were smiling, but the voice did contain laughter, “You crybaby, always crying in front of me. How can grandma be sick, it must be … not sleeping well, is it that York is … bullying you again? So you come to me to cry again.”
Blanche Capra knew that she was now delirious, her memory was intermittent, and at first she had felt grown up, but now she was back in the past. The thought made her even sadder, and her tears became more and more violent.
old lady Elsa heard her crying more and more, suddenly said again, “Little Brandi, you don t cry, you just … be magnanimous don t bother with that boy, you guys are always like this, you said that grandma is sick, that is definitely . . it’s worrying you two that’s worrying you.”
Blanche Capra listen to her words and feel heartbroken, grandmother how even sick into such still thinking about her and York Charlie things, she … she like this let her how to answer it? Saying that it does not count, and not those simple and beautiful little frictions in Grandma’s memory, and now, time has travelled a long way, as if across a sea of distance, and too much has separated her and him, and it seems to be as deep and complex as a sea.
Too much, too much …
Blanche Capra stayed on to look after old lady Elsa.
old lady Elsa asked for it herself, and York Charlie was so insistent that Mrs. Casey couldn’t stop her. Blanche Capra stayed at the bedside to take care of her and talk to her. old lady Elsa said that she was very happy to see her, and she was very happy to see her again. The old lady Elsa said the most is worried that she and York Charlie can’t make up, Blanche Capra every time don’t know how to face.
old lady Elsa like this, plus Blanche Capra has been in her side to take care of, all the things are wrapped up in York Charlie will come over in the evening, and is concerned about the grandmother, and is heartbroken Blanche Capra, but the two people are not much of a chance to talk alone. old lady Elsa occasionally woke up to see both of them, that time the spirit is the best, the happiest smile. time the spirit is the best, laugh the most happy.
