Chapter 502: Chapter 502
Ethan Sherman’s grandmother is Nina Sinclair’s grandmother too. She has always been very fond of Nina ever since she was a child. Whenever Nina’s mother brought her back home, her grandmother would often take her out to play. Now that she heard her grandmother was hospitalized, Nina certainly couldn’t ignore it.
After asking for her grandmother’s address, Nina hurriedly wiped her mouth and prepared to leave. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
Upon seeing the change in Nina’s expression after answering the phone, Julian Lancaster asked, "What happened?"
"My grandmother is in the hospital, I need to go see her," Nina said, as if she remembered something. She took out her phone and said, "I’ll cancel my flight ticket. After everything is settled in a couple of days, I’ll head back to Veridia."
Afterward, Nina temporarily canceled her flight and sent a message to Sunny Hale, informing her about the delay in returning to Veridia and telling her to be ready to receive her updates at any time. Sunny quickly replied saying she was ready for any instructions.
Once everything was wrapped up, Nina noticed Julian had already changed his clothes.
He said, "I’ll drive you there."
Nina did not refuse Julian’s kindness. She nodded, picked up her bag, and went to the hospital with Julian.
Ethan had arranged for his grandmother to stay in a private hospital, where the environment is quieter and the private room is better for recuperating.
Grandmother Sherman is already elderly and has recently developed Alzheimer’s disease. Sometimes she doesn’t remember the people around her. This time, she was sent to the hospital emergency due to fainting caused by high blood pressure, and unexpectedly, after waking up, she kept clamoring to see Nina.
Finally, Ethan had no choice but to call Nina.
Inside the hospital room, Ethan’s parents and Ethan himself all gathered around Grandmother Sherman’s bed, watching her causing a scene while lying in bed, the three of them wore expressions of helplessness.
"Where’s Nina? I want to see Nina!" Grandmother Sherman pouted discontentedly, causing a fuss.
Ethan’s mother hurried forward, soothingly saying, "Mom, don’t worry, we’ve already called Nina. She’s on her way, and you’ll see her soon!"
"Where’s Madeline?" Grandmother Sherman suddenly asked about Nina’s mother.
Ethan’s mother replied helplessly, "She’s busy lately. She’ll come to see you when she has time, okay?"
Grandmother Sherman looked at Ethan’s mother, tears welling in her eyes as she muttered, "Why doesn’t Madeline come to see me? It’s been so long since she last came..."
Upon hearing Grandmother Sherman’s words, Ethan’s parents’ expressions grew solemn.
Since Madeline Sherman’s car accident, she hasn’t visited Grandmother Sherman for over a decade. However, due to Grandmother Sherman’s Alzheimer’s, she often forgets many things. They generally placate her casually, and she doesn’t pursue the matter further.
But when she remembers Madeline, she keeps calling out to see her as she does now.
This time, she wishes to see Nina.
Since Madeline cannot come, having Nina here would suffice.
Ethan’s mother immediately signaled to Ethan, indicating he should quickly check where Nina is now.
Receiving his mother’s look, Ethan nodded and left the hospital room with his phone in hand.
Grandmother Sherman seemed to think of something and whimpered, "Madeline, she brought Nina to see me! Nina... Grandma will take you to buy candy, okay? Grandma remembers you love candy. Your mom didn’t let you eat it, but Grandma would secretly buy it for you!"
Nina ran into Ethan at the room’s doorway.
Before she could say anything, she heard Grandmother Sherman’s words, and memories swiftly transported her back to the past, making her eyes sting with emotion.
Nina quickly walked into the hospital room, "Grandma, I’m here!"
Hearing Nina’s voice, Grandmother Sherman lifted her aged eyes towards Nina. After carefully examining her for a moment, Grandmother Sherman tremblingly said, "Madeline! My daughter, you finally came to see me!"
