Chapter 305: Chapter 305



Armand was stunned, wasn’t she just pretending, why send her to the hospital? If she went to the hospital, wouldn’t she be exposed?

Besides, Theresa was skeptical now.

Armand was in a quandary.

Mrs. Leslie’s head suddenly ached and her body was convulsing violently.

Armand thought she was pretending to be sick, so he didn’t worry at all and kept thinking of a way to get Theresa to stay, “Will you only believe me when I take my grandmother to the hospital?” Theresa didn’t know what to say.

She was completely speechless.

Mrs. Leslie’s convulsions were getting stronger and stronger and she couldn’t even speak. Her breathing became faster and faster, her mouth twisted and she uttered hoarsely, “Ar…. Armand…”

Theresa had a hunch, “I think there’s something really wrong with her. Get her to the hospital immediately.”

At that moment, Armand also noticed that her body was twitching and her muscles were tense. He lifted Madame Leslie up and went outside.

“Coat.” Mistress Leslie was wearing thin pajamas and it was cold outside.

In a moment of desperation, Theresa dropped the suitcase, ran into the house and pulled out Mistress Leslie’s mink coat and went out with Armand.

Armand left Mistress Leslie in the back seat and Theresa covered her with her coat, “You drive, I’ll keep an eye on her.”

Armand looked at Theresa, his heart filled with emotions, “Theresa, I…”

“Just go, drive!” Theresa whispered. She felt that Mrs. Leslie’s condition was getting really serious, she was foaming at the mouth.

Armand was also a little nervous now.

Evidently, this was not a pretense.

He quickly started the car and headed for the hospital.

Theresa was sitting in the back seat holding Mrs. Leslie. Her consciousness was already blurred and she was completely unresponsive to Theresa’s calls.

Armand was anxious and ran several red lights in a row and several times nearly had a car accident.

The drive to the hospital was originally twenty minutes, but Armand got there in ten minutes.

Armand took Mrs. Leslie in his arms and carried her out of the car. Theresa followed him. There were many people in the hospital lobby. He took her straight to the emergency room.

Soon Mrs. Leslie was admitted, “What’s wrong with my grandmother?”

The doctor asked the medical staff to take Mrs. Leslie to the operating room and took that moment to turn to Armand and say, “The preliminary opinion is that she has had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. You must wait outside the door.” He then closed the operating room door.

Armand remained dazed for a long time and did not regain consciousness. Brain hemorrhage?

It was a sudden illness and, if very severe, it could be fatal.

At first he had thought he was faking it and didn’t know if that was why treatment had been delayed. Armand punched the wall in anger, making a muffled sound.

At the sound, Theresa’s heart fluttered.

At that moment a nurse approached, “Who’s the relative?”

Theresa saw that Armand was busy worrying and blaming himself, so she approached, “Me.”

The nurse handed her a list, “Pay for this, please.”

Theresa took the list, “I’ll go pay right now.”

She, too, was afraid of delaying Mrs. Leslie’s treatment. She still had Mrs. Leslie’s coat in her hand.

Leslie’s coat in her hand. Without putting it down, she ran down the stairs.

The billing office was on the second floor.

He pulled out his card and paid the bill.

Back in the operating room, she saw Armand sitting in the chair, his head drooping. He had blood on the back of his hand. He must have gotten this wound a moment ago, when he hit the wall.

Theresa walked over and looked at his hand. The wound looked a bit serious, especially at the joints, where the skin was torn and oozing blood.

“Go get bandaged up. Grandma will be worried when she comes out.”

Armand looked at her, his eyes looked a little red, “She raised me. She’s my only family in the world, if anything happens to her…”

“No, nothing will happen to her.” Theresa interrupted him with a tone of certainty.

Armand asked, “Will she really be all right?”

His heart felt hollow. He just wanted to find someone to give him an answer.

Theresa comforted him, “Really.”

Armand stood up and hugged her, his voice rough, “Thank you.”

Theresa stiffened, but in the end didn’t push him away, “I met you and you’ve been very kind to me. No need to thank me, besides, I haven’t done anything.”

Armand didn’t speak, he just hugged her tightly. Only when he held her in his arms did he feel alive and his heart felt warm.

How long had it been since he had felt like this?

He couldn’t remember anymore.

It had been too long.

His voice was very faint, “Phoebe was my first love. I met her my sophomore year of college. The night before my graduation, she left. For a while, I was heartbroken and despondent about her, I could only move on by leaning on Boyce and Matthew. I admit I loved her very much, but after she left for ten years, the relationship has long since run aground.”

Theresa froze. Her heart fluttered a little, but she quickly stifled it.

She couldn’t lower her limit just because of Armand’s confession. It was a fact that he hadn’t been back all night and it was also a fact that Phoebe was her first love.

People always say that first love is always hard to forget because all youth and beauty is given by first love.

Theresa believed that the first times of everything were hard to forget.

Even after a long time, the traces remained in the heart.

She said Phoebe bothered her, why didn’t she tell her before?

Why didn’t he tell her?

Did he have to wait for something to happen to explain it to her?

“Armand, you don’t need to tell me all this. I’ve already decided. You can’t give me stability, you can’t give me the sense of security I want. We really aren’t right for each other. It’s not too late to realize that, both you and I are young and can meet people better suited for us than the other.”

Armand’s eyes widened in astonishment. He grabbed Theresa’s shoulder and looked at her, “Are you really so sure, you don’t miss the feeling we had in the past at all?”

Theresa smiled, “In the past we didn’t have anything.”

Armand was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

“How long have we known each other?” Theresa looked at him, “You and I have only known each other for two three months, were we ever in love?” she laughed at herself, “You mean the one night stand?”

“If you mean the past, then it should be you and Phoebe. In fact, by quitting, I’m giving you a chance. You should thank me.”

Armand couldn’t say a word for a long time. It took him a while to find his voice, “The time we’ve known each other is certainly short, but are feelings measured by time?”

“Then by what else are they measured?”

At that moment, however, the operating room door burst open, interrupting their discussion. Theresa and Armand hurried to the door. The doctor was still wearing the blue operating gown. He removed his mask: “The patient had an acute cerebral hemorrhage. Fortunately, she was brought here just in time and there were no life-threatening consequences. However, she may need some time to recover here at the hospital.”

“Thank you, doctor.” Madame Leslie’s life was not in danger, it was the best news for Armand.

“The patient will be taken out in a little while. As she is ill and elderly, she may need someone to stay with her.” Said the doctor again.

“I see.” Armand had already decided in his heart that he was going to accompany Madame Leslie himself as long as she was ill.

Now that he was well off, he no longer needed to run for money. Besides, the company was doing quite well, even if he didn’t go, it was still going to run smoothly and he was going to earn as usual.

Soon they brought out Mrs. Leslie.

Although she had been saved, her mouth was still a little crooked.

She was very concerned about her appearance, she definitely wasn’t going to be able to accept such a crooked mouth once she woke up.

“Doctor, will your mouth be all right?”
