“Alright,” said Serenity calmly.
Helena was still angry so Serenity held onto her arm, trying to persuade her to calm down, but Helena refused. Serenity recalled the joke she saw on the Internet and told it to her mother. Finally, Helena laughed.
Although her anger had subsided by half, Helena Turner still blamed Serenity for her reckless behavior this time so she reproachfully gave Serenity a few pieces of advice.
That night, John, who was sound asleep, received a call from the hospital informing him that Chris Grant was in critical condition. He calmly put on his clothes and went to the master bedroom next door.
Selena was hugging Eva Grant to sleep, When she heard the knock, she woke up in a daze. “Who is it?”
“It’s me.” His clear voice sounded unusually calm in the empty corridor. “The hospital called. Come with me.”
Chris’s condition had not improved over the past few days. Now that the hospital had called him in the middle of the night, his condition was definitely not optimistic.
Selena’s sleepiness was instantly washed away as she hurriedly put on her clothes and grabbed her coat to go out. After taking two steps, she returned to the bed and tucked Eva Grant in. She kissed the little face before walking over to open the door and going downstairs.
John was already waiting in the living room. The maid lived on the first floor and her room lights were on. John got up and walked out. “I’ve already informed Mrs. Watson. She’ll take care of Eva.”
It was already around one o’clock in the middle of the night. The road was silent, illuminated by dim lights. It seemed as if they were driving down an abyss that led to an unknown place.
“What happened?” asked Selena.
John’s voice was cold when he said, “Simon fell asleep. If the nurse on duty hadn’t walked in, Chris probably wouldn’t have had the chance to be saved.” “So, he’s in emergency treatment now?”
“Mmhmm,” said John as he drove the car at a moderate pace without any impatience.
When they were at the traffic lights, John took out a cigarette and smoked it. His handsome face was as calm as water and there was not the slightest fluctuation.
However, Selena knew that he must be excited. Yes, excited, not worried or sad.
Even though the person lying in the hospital was his biological father, John had been waiting for his passing.
Selena was born into a scholarly family and had a good upbringing. However, even she felt that such a father should die. Chris was truly a failure as a father.
When they arrived at the hospital, John went to park the car. Selena stood at the entrance of the hospital waiting to enter the hospital together.
Everyone was already waiting outside the emergency room. Only he and Selena arrived late. Mrs. Grant and Simon looked anxiously at the emergency room. Shia sat on the bench, looking slightly irritated.
John had always been on bad terms with them, so the two groups ignored each other when they met.
When Shia looked over, Selena smiled politely at him and he quickly looked away.
In contrast to Mrs. Grant and her son’s impatience, John was unusually calm. He sat on the bench, crossed his legs, and stared at the red light above the emergency room without blinking.
When Mrs. Grant turned around, she thought he was worried about Chris too and sarcastically said, “You never called him ‘Dad’. Now that he is in critical condition, here you are trying to act like the filial son and heir..”
