Chapter 187 Old Sweetheart
Chapter 187 Old Sweetheart
"Emily, say no more." Arthur said with a frown, "You are not well now. Let me carry out a checkup for
you."
Arthur stretched out his hand to check her situation, but she stopped him and said, "Arthur, that's not
necessary. You are a good doctor, but I know my health condition very well. I know I'm dying."
Emily had given her whole life in service of the Zhao family. Arthur was deeply grieved by her physical
condition. "Emily, you..." he murmured.
"Don't be sad." Emily smiled. "Everyone dies. I can take care of Bowen in the other world after my
death. Arthur, could you please take Autumn home with you?"
Emily worried that Arthur would refuse to acknowledge Autumn because of Wendy. She asked with a
hopeful expression, "You will take Autumn back home, right? After all, she is your granddaughter."
Before Arthur could say anything, Emily continued, "Autumn is a good girl. She was well behaved just
like Bowen. She was also obedient towards Bowen and me. Sometimes too obedient that Wendy
manipulated her. That's why I'm so worried about her."
"Rest assured, I'm here to take her back." Arthur patted Emily's hand to comfort her. "I will take both of
you back to the Zhao family."
Emily was elated at Arthur's first half of the sentence, but after listening to the last half of it, she
frowned slightly. "I don't have to."
It was enough for Emily that Autumn could go back to the Zhao family. She had long felt responsible for
Bowen's early death because she didn't take good care of him. She fell into low spirits and refused to
get treatment. She also had to take care of Autumn who was just a child at that time. As a result, her
health gave in.
"That's an order." Arthur insisted. Emily had devoted herself to the Zhao family. Arthur made up his
mind to have her spend her remaining years in happiness.
Emily said no more. Arthur adjusted the covers for her and said, "I'm going to check with the doctor
regarding your condition. Have a good rest, Emily."
When Autumn came back to the ward, Arthur had already left. Autumn asked, "Grandma, who was that
man? I have never seen him before."
"He..." Emily hesitated. She was unsure whether she should tell Autumn his true identity "He is an old
friend of mine. We haven't seen each other for decades. I didn't expect to see him here. Maybe he
heard that I was ill and came here to visit me."
"Is he your old sweetheart?" Autumn was joking, but Emily did not find it funny. "Autumn, how can you
say that?"
This was the first time that Emily got mad at her. Autumn was startled and immediately retreated,
"Grandma, please don't get angry. I was just joking."
"Please don't make such jokes." Emily said in a cold tone, "I'm tired and want to rest. You may leave
now."
"Okay." Autumn smiled awkwardly, "Grandma, have a good rest. I'll be back later."
At that time, Yvonne was also at the hospital. Autumn had to take care of both her grandma and
Yvonne. Although Autumn vowed that she would never take care of Yvonne, she did otherwise. After
all, Yvonne was her sister who just had a miscarriage.
Before Autumn reached Yvonne's ward, she heard yells and screams coming from the room.
"Get out! I don't want to see your face!" Chris came out of the ward, crying. Autumn ran towards her
and asked, "Chris, I told you to stay home and not to come here. Why are you here?"
"Autumn..." Chris said in a choked voice, "I was worried about her, so I bought some fruits. I just
wanted to check if she was alright. But..."
Chris cast a glance at the closed door, and cried even harder.
"Chris." Autumn grabbed her hands and comforted her, "She is an ill-tempered person. She always
blames other people and never reflects on herself. I will take care of her. You can go home now."
"Autumn..." Chris stopped Autumn and gave her the fruits. "Please bring these fruits to her. If she
refuses to forgive me and insists on calling the police, I'm okay with that."
"Don't worry about it. You will be fine!" Autumn pushed the door open. Yvonne lay on the bed with her
back to the door. "I told you, get out of my room. Why are you still here?"
"It's me." Autumn put the fruits on the table and asked, "Yvonne, are you feeling better now? Are you
still uncomfortable?"
"Autumn!" Yvonne gnashed her teeth and demanded, "Why are you here? Are you here to mock me?"
Autumn sneered as she looked Yvonne in the eye saying, "Your mother didn't even come here to take
care of you. How pathetic you are! Yvonne, you are such an ungrateful person and a loser. Shame on
you!"
"Bitch! I hate you!" Yvonne screamed as she pounced on Autumn. She detested Autumn. If it weren't
for her, she would not have ended up like this. She just had a miscarriage and Charles probably
already knew about it. She was totally screwed.
"Behave yourself, Yvonne Gu!" Autumn pushed Yvonne away. Yvonne was weak after the miscarriage.
She crumbled to the floor, "I'm screwed. Charles knew I was pregnant. He will never ever fall in love Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
with me now..."
"I'm here to tell you that I will hire a nurse for you. She will take care of you while you are here. Don't
worry. I'll pay for everything." reassured Autumn. She looked at Yvonne and felt sad for her. "Don't
worry. I won't tell anyone that you lost a baby."
People in Y City are very conservative. If they found out that Yvonne had gotten pregnant before
marriage, she will be the talk of the town. It would be very hard for Yvonne to find a good husband in
the future.
Yvonne, however, was ungrateful and only managed a bitter smile "Autumn Ye, do you think I will
appreciate that? I'm telling you, as long as I'm alive, I will fight you."
Autumn looked Yvonne in the eye and said in a cold voice, "Yvonne Gu, I've never thought of
competing with you. I know you hate me because of Charles. But you need to know, even if I were not
here, Charles would never ever fall in love with you. So stop with your delusions!"
