The Billionaire’s Unexpected Treasure

“What did you say?” Although already mentally prepared, but this moment Flora’s brain is still blank, fingers tightly clenched the armrest of the chair.

Theo took a deep breath and said in a calm tone. “Flora, don’t be anxious, how about this, you wait at home, I’ll go pick you up.”

“No,” Flora gouged her palms, “I’ll be right there.”

On the way, Flora didn’t care whether the light was red or green, she was speeding desperately, thinking only that her grandmother would be okay!

When she arrived at the hospital, Flora went straight to her grandmother’s ward and pushed the door open to see Theo sitting on the edge of the bed leaning over to listen to the old woman .

“Grandma, I’m here …” Flora choked up and slowly walked to the bedside.

The old woman’s withered hand grabbed Flora’s hand and said vaguely. “Flora, Grandma … Grandma may not be able to hold on. It’s Grandma who broke her promise, Grandma said … that she would see you happy …”

“Grandma,” Flora cried, shaking her head, “I’m happy, really happy! But Grandma don’t you leave me!”

“Silly child.” The old woman lifted her hand with difficulty and tried to touch Flora’s face.

Flora hurriedly put her head down and rested her cheek in the old woman’s rough palm.

“I … have always known that you have led an unhappy life.” The old woman said, a string of tears dripping down from her cloudy eyes.

Flora heart like a knife, clutching the old woman’s hand and crying. “Grandma, you know I’m not doing well, how can you leave me alone! Grandma, don’t leave me, I will ask the best doctor to see you, please don’t leave me! Grandma I beg you!”

The old woman gasped violently and painfully. “It is … that Grandma is sorry for not protecting you, and … also became a burden to you. Promise … promise me that you must be happy in the future, so that … I can leave … with peace of mind.”

Flora while crying and shaking her head, “I’m not promising, you have to … you have to live to supervise me! Grandma I do not allow you to leave me!”

The old woman’s cloudy gaze gradually lax, holding Flora’s hand weakly hanging down.

“Grandma? Grandma!” The blood on Flora’s face receded cleanly in an instant, “Grandma you don’t want to die! Grandma, wake up! Don’t leave me alone!”

“Flora you calm down!” Theo hugged Flora, “Let Grandma go in peace!”

“I don’t want to!” Flora fought to struggle, “I have only one grandmother, I have nothing, nothing!”

“You still have me!” Theo hugged Flora tightly and whispered in her ear. “I promised Grandma I would always take care of you, so you’re not alone, Flora, you still have me.”

“Theo what should I do, I’ll never see Grandma again …” Flora lost her voice crying in Theo’s arms.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The funeral was done in a hurry under the auspices of Theo, Flora did not shed a single tear except after crying bitterly in the hospital, as the walking dead, without a trace of extra expression on her face.

On the way back from the cemetery, Theo held Flora’s hand and said with concern. “Flora you do not do this, if you want to cry, cry out, cry out will feel better.”

Flora shook her head and said in a dumb voice. “I won’t cry anymore, Grandma will worry if she sees me.”

Such Flora made Theo’s heart ache, but he could not do anything about it.

“Let’s go to my house tonight, I’ll cook for you.” Theo looked at Flora and said.

Flora barely pulled out a smile, “No, I want to be alone for a while.”

The car stopped in front of the hospital and Theo said uneasily before getting out. “Are you sure you’re okay? I can take off work to accompany you.”

“It’s okay, I’m not a kid anymore.”

She had just restarted the car when Clayton’s phone call came.
