I quickly hid.
I wondered. I didn’t see Jessica just now. Why is she here now?
I heard Jessica say, “my niece just wanted to jump. My mother is angry. She may really be dying.”
At this moment, I remembered what happened before. I picked up my cell phone and started recording.
I knew Jessica was making a fake will.
If grandma really died, I didn’t know what would happen.
Then Jessica mentioned the false will. She said that her shares and assets should not be too much, otherwise it was easy to be doubted.
In fact, I didn’t like Jessica or Marlin, but I hoped jessica got more property.
After she called and left, I went back to the inpatient department.
Sherry was in the ICU. There was no one outside.
Neither Jessica nor marlin was here.
Grandma was in a coma so they didn’t even want to pretend.
However, Jessica came soon. She saw me and didn’t speak. She just waited outside.
I thought Sean was still in the hospital, so I left first to avoid the embarrassment when I met him.
On Monday, the notice about the design competition was posted on a related website.
In order to call on everyone to sign up, the company made a mobilization during the meeting.
Six decoration companies and several studios of the giant group would participate in the competition.
Although at present there were only rules for preliminary contest and semi-final and no rules for final.
I had a vague feeling that Sean would come to the final in person.
Now I just wanted to be his ordinary employee and I didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
Although the total bonus of this competition was up to one million and there would be a bonus as long as I got to the final and I wanted to participate a little bit.
I didn’t decide to participate.
At the end of the meeting, all my colleagues were discussing the design competition. I just went back to the company to continue my work.
At lunch Chloe sat across from me and asked, “June, what are you going to do for the design competition?”
“I will not take part in the competition.”
I answered her.
She blinked and looked at me in disbelief,” what? Don’t you take part?”
“Yes.”
“But I heard that the highest bonus seems to be 400000 dollars! I thought the whole company would take part.”
Chloe still didn’t seem to believe it.
I looked up at her and gave a wry smile.”There are many talents in these companies and studios. I don’t think I’ll make it to the final even if I try my best.”
“But…”
Chloe seemed to want to say something else, but she thought I had a point.
I went to see Sherry every day after work.
She woke up on Monday and went back to the general ward.
The operation was postponed to the weekend.
I arrived at the hospital early on the day of the operation.
I went into the ward. Sherry saw me and said happily, “June, you’re here.”
“How are you today, grandma?”
I looked around as I walked in. Sherry had been living in a flat. There was no one else in the room except Harry who was sitting next to Sherry’s bed with a porridge bowl.
Neither Marlin nor Jessica were here.
Sherry took a sip of porridge and took a deep breath.”I’m much better. The doctor examined me this morning.”
“Well, that’s good.”
I nodded.
I thought Marlin and Jessica would come in a minute.
But I stayed with Sherry in the ward for two hours without seeing them. Towards 10 o’clock a middle-aged doctor in a white coat came in. He introduced himself to Sherry, “Hello, my name is Dave. I’m your surgeon today.”
“Hello.”
Sherry said hello to the doctor.
As they exchanged greetings, Dave asked Sherry about her eating habits and medical history.
When it was all over, he nodded and said to Sherry, “I see. I’ll get ready and let the nurse bring you there.”
“OK.”
Sherry nodded.
I was by Sherry’s side and holding her hand.
When the doctor left, I could feel Sherry’s hands shaking a little.
As soon as the doctor went out, she gave me an envelope and said, “June, give this to the doctor.”
“…”
I looked down and opened it. It was a bank card.
I knew what she meant. I hurried out to catch up with Dave who was almost at the elevator.
I called him to the stairwell door and handed him the envelope.”Dave, please take my grandmother’s operation seriously.”
He looked at the envelope in my hand and looked around. He put it in his pocket.
He reassured me and then he left.
I went back and stayed with sherry.
Soon the nurse came. She took Sherry’s temperature again and changed her bed and pushed her out.
I followed her.
Sherry was lying in bed and holding my hand. She looked at me in embarrassment.”June, I know you’re wrong, but I can’t watch Molly jump.”
“Grandma, I know. It doesn’t matter.”
I didn’t blame sherry.
Sherry sighed, “you’ve been wronged these years, and I don’t know if I can make it up to you…”
“Grandma, don’t think too much. There’s no difference between surgery and sleep.”I encouraged her.
I was stopped by the nurse at the door of the operating room. The nurse had to push Sherry’s bed into the operating room, but Sherry kept holding my hand.
I leaned over and hugged Sherry.”Don’t worry, grandma. I’ll be waiting for you outside.”
Sherry just let go.
No sooner had Sherry entered than the light in the operating room came on. I sat at the door and was very anxious.
About two hours later, Jessica came. Another hour later Marlin came.
They just sat at the door for a few minutes and left.
I sat at the door until after two o’clock at noon. It was almost five hours since Sherry got in.
But the operation was not over.
I had been hungry for a long time. I stood up to go out to eat, but I saw a nurse rush at me and shout, “get out of the way!”
I hurried back. I saw the nurse holding a plate with bags of blood on it.
She rushed directly to the operating room not far away.
The door of the operating room opened a little. A nurse was waiting inside.
She caught the plate and closed the door. I rushed to the nurse who was delivering the blood and asked, “how is my grandma’s operation?”
