“Grandma, don’t be nervous, you’ll be fine.” Franklin was beside her and comforted Mrs. Knight in a very understanding way.
“Yes, madam, you are a good person, good people will be rewarded, cheer up, we all believe in you.”
“Mrs. Knight, you must be good, we will always be here with you …”
In the ward, many people from the small mountain village gathered. When they heard that Mrs. Knight was going to have an operation today, they immediately put down their work and rushed to the hospital to accompany her, and even the supermarket was closed.
After so many years, everyone in the village has a special feeling for Mrs. Knight. She had received higher education before, and was very modest and low-key, and never looked down on anyone. A former grand lady who could put herself down to live with them, and was usually very enthusiastic about helping them was enough to move them.
“Look at you all, what are you doing here, I just have a simple surgery, but also a whole lot of noise, really trouble you.” Mrs. Knight said touched, and again felt that everyone was a little bit of an uproar.
“Hey, ma’am, you’re not being nice, you’re a valuable person in our village, no one can do without you, don’t worry you’ll get better, we’re all looking forward to eating that sauerkraut fish you made.” Instantly, the people around laughed out loud.
Mrs. Knight’s cooking skills, which were famous in the small mountain village, especially that pickled fish, were unforgettable, but her cooking skills were only passed down to Dolly, and the others had never even seen it.
“You bunch of foodies! Fine, when I get better you all go to our house, we’ll have a feast, just as a party, then I’ll cook a good meal for you.” Mrs. Knight laughed.
The atmosphere is very cordial, in fact, everyone is just suppressing their emotions. Who wouldn’t be worried and anxious about something like surgery, but everyone was just hiding their anxiety and sadness. Everyone is afraid, afraid that Mrs. Knight will never come out after entering the operating room.
Next to Dolly, standing in the corner silently watching all this, did not say a word. She was afraid she couldn’t control her emotions and couldn’t help crying. Everyone understands her feelings, naturally did not say anything.
“Oh come on, don’t argue, Madam’s surgery will be successful don’t worry, Dr. Ling found the expert that is one of the best in the world, you guys just don’t worry blindly.” Suddenly, the nurse came over and whispered.
Jayden slowly walked over and all the people made way for him.
“Ma’am, don’t worry, it’s just a simple minor surgery will be successful, hold on, grit your teeth and you’ll be fine.” Jayden comforted Mrs. Knight, holding her small hand tightly.
“Okay, I believe you.” Mrs. Knight replied with a smile.
“That, I’d like to speak to Dolly alone for a moment.” Mrs. Knight looked around awkwardly at a few people.
Everyone walked out of the ward with their hearts in their mouths. Dolly in the corner went to the bedside and knelt on the floor, her eyes red.
“Dolly ah, I never had the chance to talk to you properly before, but now I finally have the time, I just didn’t expect it to be in such an environment. I’ve always been afraid to treat you as my own daughter. I’ve never been married in this life, but to meet you and Franklin is my greatest happiness, so I ask you, in the future, you must take good care of Franklin, maybe after this operation, I will really … ” Mrs. Knight choked up a little.
“No, madam won’t, you will be fine, Franklin is still waiting for you to take care of, don’t worry the surgery specialist is very famous, I have checked.” Dolly was a little excited and a little worried.
“I know that Jayden is a reliable person, especially in this kind of life and death matter, but just in case, I still want to say a few words to you. brayden is really good, since you are already a couple then live a good life together. I also know that Jayden and that Stanley are very fond of you, but Dolly you must protect the family, do not go astray …” Mrs. Knight’s eyes have a trace of expectation.
So, she knew everything.
“Ma’am, Brayden is my husband, Jayden and Stanley are just my friends, I will separate them clearly, I will not leave Brayden and Franklin.” Dolly deliberately lowered her voice, afraid that Mrs. Knight perceived her abnormality.
In fact, she had sensed it long ago, since she had just been standing in the corner afraid to look at her had sensed it.
“Well, you go out first, let Brayden come in, I want to talk to him.” Mrs. Knight gently stroked Dolly’s hair.
Slowly getting up, Dolly walked to the door and called Brayden’s name softly, walking out of the ward by herself.
At once, she finally couldn’t hold back the tears that poured out of her eyes. Several women next to her rushed over to hug her and comfort her.
“Okay, Dolly, don’t look like this, madam she will be fine.”
“Yeah, what about the baby when you’re like this? Quickly wipe your tears, Franklin went to the bathroom and will be back in a minute.”
Hearing the sisters’ words, Dolly hurriedly stopped crying.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay.” Jayden gently patted her back.
She trusted Jayden, but she knew better that some unavoidable accidents might happen during the operation.
“Brayden …,” Mrs. Knight waved to him from the hospital room.
“Ma’am.” Brayden immediately ran over.
“There are some things that I must say, otherwise I am really afraid that I won’t have a chance after the operation fails later.” Mrs. Knight gave a sudden cough.
“Brayden, you are a good man, I admit that when I first met you, I did have some misunderstandings about you …”
Mrs. Knight spoke with difficulty, as if it took her a great deal of effort to utter each word. Looking at her in the hospital bed, Brayden only felt a pang of heartache.
“Okay, ma’am, I promise you, don’t worry I will take good care of Dolly and Franklin and you, you will succeed, Mrs. Knight you have to have confidence in yourself because the main surgeon is very confident about this operation.”
The two talked for a while, and then ended Mrs. Knight’s near-final words.
It was a dangerous operation, with risks and hopes, and Jayden kept telling everyone that it would be a success, just so Mrs. Knight could have hope.
However, the truth is that Mrs. Knight knows her own health very well. If she survived, she would still have a few years to live, but if she didn’t, her life would end here.
However, she has no regrets in this life.
