Chapter 178

Seeing that her daughter was a little angry, Rooney shut her mouth and stopped talking.

Nash quickly walked into the ICU ward with light steps.

The two chief doctors who were looking after Herman left the ward.

On the hospital bed, Herman was unrecognizable. Two oxygen tubes ran directly from his nose into his throat, and the line on the heart rate monitor next to him was extremely weak.

His eyes were dull, and he could not see anything now.

Hearing footsteps approaching, he asked hoarsely, “Is… Is that you, Nashy?”

His voice was very faint. If it were not for Nash’s exceptional hearing, he might not have heard him clearly.

Nash dragged a chair over, sat down, and held Herman’s dry hand, gently saying, “It’s me…”

Herman was overwhelmed with excitement and said, “Nashy… I remember… I remember everything…”

Due to his excitement, there was piercing pain from the burns all over his body.

Herman grimaced and said, “It hurts… It hurts… Can you help me with the pain?”

Seeing Herman’s uncomfortable state, Nash felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

There was a syringe of painkillers on the side tray.

Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Nash gave the old man two shots of the painkiller.

After the drug took effect, Herman’s contorted features eased a little.

It was a good while before Herman slowly began to speak. “I thought, apart from Master Calcraft, no one knew that there were people who escaped from Young Family Village… I didn’t expect that 22 years later, we were still discovered by the Kleins

“The reason your master sent you to the Lewis household was to let me tell you about your origins…

“I intended to wait until you and Hera were married before telling you, but… but I can’t hold on until then!”

Herman’s voice was filled with regret.

Ever since the marriage agreement was made with Master Calcraft, he had been looking forward to the day when Nash and his granddaughter would get married.

The day was almost upon them, but he would not be able to see it.

Nash said in a deep voice, “Grandpa, you’ll live to witness it…”

With that, he took out his phone and called Olivia.

At that time, Olivia and Joseph were in the lounge outside.

Seeing a call from Nash, Olivia immediately answered. “Nash…”

“I’m getting married!”

“Huh? N-Now?”

“Yes, now!”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away!”

Olivia had guessed that Herman was not going to last much longer.

Although it was four in the morning, with the power of the Lee family, they could definitely look for a wedding company at any time.

In just ten minutes, no, it was actually less than ten minutes.

Within eight minutes, the people from the wedding company arrived at the People’s Hospital.

Olivia brought the people from the wedding company to Hera.

That was when she heard that Nash was planning to get married.

Hera showed an incredulous expression, then said in an upset tone, “At a time like this, how could I be in the mood to get married?”

Lauren grabbed Hera’s hand and said with a heavy tone, “Your grandpa has recovered his memory. He must want to fulfill his agreement with Master Calcraft before he dies…”

Hera then remembered the fact that her grandfather would not make it till dawn and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Olivia waved her hand, and a makeup artist from the wedding company behind her brought out a makeup box to start applying makeup to Hera.

The stylist, with the help of an assistant, brought out a dozen wedding dresses.

The assistant yawned and muttered, “Calling us over at four in the morning, the boss has to give us a raise tomorrow!”

The stylist slapped the assistant on the back of the head. “Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you know who Ms. Olivia is?”
