Chapter 957
A Life Debt Repaid
Johnâs phone rang.
It sounded ear-piercing in the quiet corridor.
Many members of the Lynd family were there in the corridor, aside from him, and that included Jean.
Nanaâs attempt at committing suicide again deepened her animosity toward John.
The moment she arrived at the hospital, she pointed her finger at John and threatened to kill him if anything untoward happened to Nana.
The sound coming from his phone made Jean glare at him, but he did not really care about it.
He knew that as long as Nana was around, the Lynds would not do anything to him.
The Lynds knew too well how important he was to Nana, and they would not dare lay a finger on him.
Conversely, should Nana die, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed in the hands of the Lynd family.
John fished out his phone, unperturbed, as he tapped on the notification.
His thumb suddenly went stiff.
For that split second, the photo in his phone became blurry.
At the next moment, a commotion along the corridor snapped him back to attention.
He stuffed his phone back into his pocket and looked upto see the doors of the emergency room swing open.
A doctor walked out with fatigue etched on his face.
Everyone from the Lynd family rushed over, and John allowed himself to follow behind them.
âHow is she, doctor? Is Nana all right?â Jean asked anxiously and fearfully.
âWe resuscitated her in time and her life is no longer in danger.â The doctor reassured them before going on to remind them with a tinge of helplessness in his voice, âThe patientâs condition is very unique. Even though she was not physically harmed this time, if this goes on repeatedly, it will be very emotionally burdensome for her and cause damage to the heart. Family and next-of-kin should counsel her. Otherwise, major accidents could easily occur.â
âYes, thank you, doctor. Itâs been rough on you,â Jean heaved a huge sigh of relief upon hearing that Nana was out of danger.
The doctor reminded them a few other things before taking his leave.
Immediately after, Nana was pushed out of the emergency room.
Her face was ashen gray, and she looked weak and vulnerable.
The Lynds tried to smile amidst the aches they felt in their hearts upon seeing Nanaâs pale face and weak smile.
Jean could not hold herself back.
She said achingly, âNana, whatâs the point? Problems can be overcome, so why take your life so lightly?â
âIâm sorry, Granny,â Nana said so softly that one could hardly hear her. âI made you worry about me.
But Iâ¦â
Her eyes turned red.
âDonât speak. I know itâs not your fault.â Jean glared at John standing nearby and went on in a low, comforting voice,â Rest and recuperate. Everything else comes second.â âOkay.â Nana nodded obediently and shut her eyes.
