Elliot’s chest tightened. Deep within his heart, he never thought about his grandmother’s age and

always hoped that she would live a long life. However, Harriet was already 83 this year. A person’s life

was like a candle, and there would always come the time when its flame would burn out. Sure enough,

not long later, several specialist doctors came out of the emergency rescue room with heavy and

serious expressions. It was clear that there was no need for Harriet to be saved this time.

“How is she, Rob?” Brenda asked the frontmost doctor.

“After our evaluation, we think that we should stop causing pain to Old Madam Presgrave. Moreover,

she has also woken up and refused our request for surgery. She wants to see you all instead.”

Brenda couldn’t hold back her tears, and she asked in a hoarse voice, “How much time does she have

left?”

“In addition to severe heart failure, many of her organs are not functioning well either. She has at most

two days left.”

Elliot clenched his fists. Harriet was about to leave the world, but he couldn’t do anything. Brenda also

turned her head sadly and buried herself in her husband’s arms, and the atmosphere turned somber. In

this world, the most painful thing was to say goodbye to one’s loved ones forever.

Just then, Anastasia stepped out from the elevator. When she saw the group of people taking up the

entire hallway, even if she didn’t know what was going on, the atmosphere had already made her heart

beat violently, and she looked at her husband. Elliot’s eyes were red, and there was a hint of tears in

his eyes. At the sight, Anastasia handed her bag to Sophia before she quickly walked over and

embraced him. Elliot hugged her back tightly, a choked sound coming from his throat.

Anastasia’s tears stained his collar as she

asked softly, “What happened to Grandma?”

“Grandma is passing,” Elliot replied hoarsely.

Hearing that, Anastasia let her tears fall silently.

Just then, a nurse came out from the ward and said, “Old Madam Presgrave wants to see Mrs.

Presgrave.”

Anastasia hurriedly answered, ‘I’m here.”

Elliot nodded at her, and Brenda gave her a pat. “Go on.”

When Anastasia walked into the ward, she saw Harriet hooked up to a ventilator, and her white hair

made her seem much weaker than before. However, her eyes were still clear.

“Come over, my child.” Harriet extended her hand toward Anastasia.

Forcing her tears back, Anastasia sat by

the bed, and Harriet took her hand in hers. “You’re the child I worry about the most.”

“Grandma, you’ll get better.” Anastasia held her sadness in and comforted her.

“I know my time is up. Don’t be sad now. I have no regrets.” Harriet was open minded. When the doctor

wanted to extend her life earlier, she immediately refused. She just wanted to leave the world neatly

instead of paying to go through the pain of surgery and then leaving.

“Grandma, do you have anything to say to me?” Anastasia held her hand.

“After I leave, all of our family matters will be up to you.” Harriet looked at her with a regretful

expression. “When I asked you to marry into our family, I

wanted to give you a good life.”

“Grandma, I love Elliot. As long as I can be with him, I can do anything.” Anastasia reassured her, not

wanting her to blame

herself.

“When I’m not around anymore, Elliot will only have you and his aunt left.” As she spoke, her eyes filled

with tears.

At the sight, Anastasia was unable to hold her tears back as well. While wiping her tears away, she

comforted, “Don’t worry,

Grandma, I’ll always stay by his side, and I’ll never let him be alone.”

As she spoke, Anastasia continued to cry even more as she felt a pang of pain for Elliot. Once Harriet

was gone, he would be the saddest person as his parents died early when he was a child, and he was

brought up by his grandmother. She couldn’t even begin to comprehend how much pain he was in at

the moment.

“I’m leaving our family matters to you. You have to be strong. Don’t let anyone bully you,” Harriet

instructed.

Anastasia pursed her lips and nodded. “All right, I will.”

Harriet’s breathing turned heavy, as if speaking was an extremely difficult task for her. Anastasia

hurriedly advised her to rest, but Harriet said to her, “Call Elliot to come in too.”
