Chapter 245 : Grandpa’s Last Words
Old Mr. Grant dropped the words and left, leaving Lindsey and Bruce, looking at each other in the wind.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Not many people knew about the pregnancy, Old Mr. Grant was usually at Nine Lakes Mountain, how did his old man know about it!
Lindsey was shocked not a little pat chest, incomprehensible question: “Bruce, this is you said, or who gave Old Mr. Grant through the wind, he told me not to impulsive is what it means.”
Bruce couldn’t figure it out, but he had a hunch that it had something to do with Randy.
Randy was now the head of the division, both arms were dislocated at the same time, and Jimmy couldn’t even cure them at the third hospital, which was definitely a big deal in The Gregor family.
As for the news of Lindsey’s pregnancy, Hector did not say, the old house logistics will also be reported.
Thinking of this, Bruce vaguely felt that he was in trouble, but his face still tried to put on a calm look and said, “It may have something to do with Gregor division chief.”
“I thought we cured him.” Lindsey’s eyelids jumped, and he too realized the seriousness of the matter.
If it was a single arm problem, it could be explained that it was a training strain, but with both arms ruined at the same time, it was a matter that could shake The Gregor family up and down.
No wonder Old Mr. Grant had to instruct himself before leaving the house, eighty percent and this has nothing to do with it.
“If the Gregor family wants to talk about this, I’ll take the blame.” Lindsey immediately decided, serious and serious look at Bruce. “Anyway, it is also my first move.”
“How can that be.” Bruce naturally did not want to, he was also involved in the incident, how can Lindsey take the lead.
Lindsey knew she couldn’t convince him, so she calmed down, told Lily to put the board away, and left.
Back in the car, Lindsey tilted her head and leaned on Bruce’s shoulder, once again rehashing the old story. “Grandpa thinks highly of your return to the army this time, and this will definitely be a black spot for you if it really goes badly.”
Bruce also thought of this layer, but he still had more trust in Randy’s character.
And Randy is young, can with the hard military service to do to the division commander, its people will not likely be two-faced.
With the status of The Gregor family, every step he takes, he does not need to play tricks, nor does he care to play tricks.
After a moment of contemplation, he unconsciously rubbed the top of Lindsey’s head and smiled, “Don’t worry, if this really counts, the black pot won’t be carried by us, don’t forget we have a cousin.”
Lindsey sat up straight, blinked her eyes, and gave him an “I get it” smile back.
It was true that Burton was the cause of the incident, and it was only right that he should be blackballed. If he hadn’t been looking for trouble, Carl wouldn’t have run into Randy’s gun, and there would have been no subsequent incident.
Putting down their hearts, both of them felt a little tired and closed their eyes to doze off.
It was already ten o’clock at night when we got back to the old house. Lindsey went to wash up and went to sleep when she was tired.
Bruce came out of the shower and saw that she had fallen asleep, and couldn’t help but lose his smile.
After carefully tucking her in, he took his cell phone to the living room and quietly called Jack.
Bruce guessed that the situation might be more serious than he thought, and his heart fell and hung in his throat.
He waited anxiously until almost midnight when Jack’s call finally came back, saying as soon as he got through, “Old Mr. Gregor’s grandson was injured in an accident yesterday, and the guards say it has something to do with you and Lindsey.”
“Yes, it does have something to do with us.” Bruce wasn’t pushing it. “What does Grandpa plan to do about it.”
Jack paused and spoke again, “Randy said that the matter has nothing to do with you guys, it was caused by his carelessness during training, meaning that it doesn’t matter.”
Bruce was obviously relieved, but still couldn’t help but inquire about Old Mr. Grant’s attitude.
“Old Mr. Grant said, for the sake of great-grandson to spare you once, the next time will not be repeated.” Jack’s tone was clearly softer. “Remember not to be so nonsensical in the future.”
“Got it, thanks Jack,” Bruce said, completely relieved, hung up the phone, turned it off in a relaxed mood, and went to bed.
The next morning, I took Lindsey to work at the American Academy, but I didn’t expect to see Randy again.
Randy also saw them, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued to watch the students practice the formation.
Bruce personally took Lindsey to the office door and went downstairs to the playground to find Randy.
“I know all about what happened yesterday.” He didn’t say thank you, nor did he say anything else, but turned around with these words.
Randy swept him a sideways glance and suddenly said, “Since you are here, why don’t you come together to see if the soldiers under my command are qualified enough to be instructors.”
“Gregor is too generous to me, I am also a soldier under you.” Bruce smiled noncommittally and walked away without hesitation.
He did not have a deep friendship with Randy, but it was not enough to turn the other cheek. Besides, the two of them are not only classmates, but also comrades.
Randy was not impressed with his attitude, stood on the side and watched for a while, then also turned around and walked away.
Not far away from the office building, Lindsey had just finished the lesson when Bruce’s phone call came.
Sliding open the answer button, she sped out of the office and said with a smile, “I’m at work, can’t I talk at home.”
“Yes, I just miss you.” Bruce invited a light smile out. “I’ll treat you to a pizza I made myself for lunch.”
“Okay.” Lindsey answered crisply and hung up the phone in a sweet mood.
After putting away her phone, she saw Aurora coming from the other side of the corridor, Lindsey raised her eyebrows and turned around to enter the office.
The new students are in military training, Lindsey still has no class in the morning, finishing up her desk, just in time to receive a phone call from Professor Lee, let her colleagues know, get upstairs.
After a few days of absence, Professor Lee’s spirit did not look too good, and the whole person seemed to be very tired.
Lindsey pulled away and sat down, asking with concern, “Teacher, are you not feeling well lately.”
“Probably not very well rested, how are you, still adapting to it these days.” Professor Lee smiled and put on his glasses, his eyes looked at her lovingly, and added, “People look a lot fatter, it seems that Bruce boy is still treating you well.”
“He’s still recuperating, so he has more time to think about how to make me good food every day.” Lindsey smiled back. “Abby’s back at school, right?”
“Yes, she said she had some kind of event and ran away early before the summer was over.” Professor Lee couldn’t hide the smile on his face when he talked about his granddaughter Abby.
Lindsey saw the situation, so politely advised: “Teacher, you should not work too hard, and be careful when Abby comes back to nag you.”
Professor Lee could not help but smile bitterly after hearing this. “Recently, an ancient tomb was excavated and many paintings and calligraphy works were unearthed, so I got a little bit obsessed with the research.”
Lindsey said a few more words of advice, but coincidentally, there was a call on the landline in his office, so he had the sense to keep quiet.
I don’t know what was said on the other end, but Professor Lee’s face was getting more and more ugly.
A short while later, he hung up the phone and spoke with a sad face: “Lindsey, you come with me to the General Hospital right now, Old Mr. Bosh may not make it.”
“Old Mr. Bosh he?” Lindsey was so shocked that she stood up right then and there, rushed to call Bruce, hung up, and then called Lily.
In any case, Old Mr. Bosh is also Lindsey and Lily’s own grandfather, this side must go to see.
A short while later, Lindsey arrived at the military hospital in Professor Lee’s car and waited anxiously for Lily as soon as she got out of the car.
A few minutes later, Bruce arrived downstairs and took her by the shoulders, comforting her, “Don’t be too sad, maybe there will be a miracle.”
Lindsey shook her head and smiled bitterly, she had personally checked Old Mr. Bosh’s pulse when she came to see him a few days ago, and the situation was not good at that time. She just never thought he would not be able to hold on so soon.
Lily arrived ten minutes later, hearing Lindsey say that the grandfather she had seen before was dying, and was so sad that she kept falling into tears.
When they got upstairs, the three of them went into the hospital room and silently stood aside to look at Old Mr. Bosh on the bed with a sad expression.
“Lindsey is here?” Old Mr. Bosh saw Lindsey, struggled to open his eyes, the sound of gasping in his throat, like a bellows, huffing and puffing irritated the eardrums of the crowd.
Lindsey at this time where still care about the baby in the belly, eyes glowing red to go forward, trembling to hold his hand. “Grandpa, it’s me coming.”
“It’s good to be here, it’s good to be here …” Old Mr. Bosh gasped for a while, his eyes fell on Lily, barely squeezed out a smile and waved at her. “Lily girl, you come up here, let grandpa take a good look at you.”
Lily answered and obediently came forward to stand next to Lindsey, holding his other hand. “Grandpa, get some rest, we’re all here with you.”
“It’s time to get some rest, after decades of busyness, I do want a good night’s sleep.” Old Mr. Bosh’s eyes welled up with reluctance, shifted his eyes to his son Fisher and spoke with a trembling voice: “Fisher, these two children are rare to me, you should take care of them more in the future.”
Fisher glanced gratefully at the two Lindsey sisters and nodded tearfully. “Fisher knows.”
They were his own nieces, how could he not take good care of them.
Old Mr. Bosh finished this sentence is already tired, eyes tightly closed up, gasping for breath softly, if not for the chest still beating, everyone almost thought he had gone.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes with a prayerful look at Lindsey. “Lindsey, I do not have much time left, all these years I have two sleeves, and did not leave something valuable can give you.”
“Grandpa, Lindsey doesn’t lack anything now, you don’t have to blame yourself so much.” Lindsey knew he was trying to do his duty for his dead brother, but the situation before him was not really one that he should expend too much energy on.
Old Mr. Bosh lowered his eyes, made a few breaths, and added, “I have spent my life studying H calligraphy and ancient books, and although I have made small achievements, I am ashamed that I have not been able to publish these studies to the world.”
Lindsey was slightly surprised, but did not show it.
She was aware of Old Mr. Bosh’s lifelong study of Chinese studies, but it was true that Old Mr. Bosh had written relatively few academic treatises. If he had, he had co-authored with Professor Lee and others, so she did not know what he was trying to say.
After a moment of silence, Old Mr. Bosh’s frail voice rang out again. “The manuscript is finished. If you have time, you can help me organize it and publish it all, and you can handle the royalties.”
When Lindsey heard this, she burst into tears and refused in a trembling voice. “Lindsey is young and ignorant, it’s better to let Uncle Fisher handle this for you.”
Fisher on the side also did not expect his father to say this, the old man’s manuscripts amounted to several million words. There were about calligraphy, and about ink painting and brush painting, and the amount of royalty for any academic treatise published was quite huge.
The Lindsey sisters had been in exile for many years, and the compensation was far from adequate.
A few moments later, Old Mr. Grant took a breath and said, “Your Uncle Fisher is busy, so I won’t bother him with this.”
