Chapter 409

Chapter 409:

Andrew gradually relaxed his embrace and said, “You’ve made things easier. That’s why you are my lucky star.”

“You’re my lucky star, too. You’ve been a great help, and I just did something little in return.”

“Where’s the child?” Andrew inquired.

“He’s in the car. His parents are in jail, so I need to take him back to his hometown.”

“Alright, let’s do that together. Then we can visit my grandpa,” Andrew said.

They drove the boy to his hometown. Upon arrival, Madisyn met the boy’s grandmother, a woman who seemed very kind.

Madisyn provided them with food and some money. The deeds of the child’s parents were wrong, but the child was blameless.

When Madisyn got in the car, about to leave, the boy tearfully waved. “Goodbye, Madisyn!”

Feeling a pang of sadness, Madisyn said, “Be a good boy and take care of your grandma. I’ll visit you when I can.”

“Okay, Madisyn. I’ll miss you,” the boy responded before turning away.

Noticing his trembling shoulders, Madisyn realized he was crying. It saddened her, considering the time they had spent together and his endearing nature. Holding her in his arms, Andrew said, “He’s really sweet. We should come to see him more often.”

“That sounds good. Now, let’s go see your grandpa.”

Madisyn was anxious about Damari.

At the hospital, in the deluxe VIP suite, Damari had just woken up. He looked alright, though still weak.

As soon as Andrew and Madisyn arrived, Andrew quickened his pace and asked with evident concern, “Grandpa, you’re awake. How do you feel? What did the doctor say?”

Andrew’s anxious expression clearly showed his deep care for Damari.

Damari gave Andrew’s hand a comforting pat and said kindly, “I’m fine. It’s normal for someone my age to face health issues. How are you holding up?”

“I’m alright.”

“Nonsense. I already know about their attempts to force you to step down. It’s disgraceful.”

Andrew’s eyes flashed with a steely glint, and his tone became frosty.

Seeing this, Madisyn could tell that Damari was concerned for Andrew. Damari reminded her of Celia—Celia had been kind to her in the past. Without her, Madisyn might not have survived her time with the Chapman family.

Sadly, Celia was no longer alive. Now, with Damari still here, Madisyn felt compelled to ensure he stayed alive longer. The world needed more good people like him instead of letting the wicked prevail.

“Madisyn resolved the issue for me,” Andrew said, looking affectionately at Madisyn.

Damari smiled and said, “Madisyn is truly our lucky charm. Thank you, dear.”

“Damari, we’re family. You’re welcome.”

“Since you two have been together for some time, have you thought about getting married?” Damari asked suddenly.

Andrew was taken aback, but happiness flickered in his eyes. He truly wished to marry, though it might be premature. Nowadays, many young women preferred to delay marriage. Sensing Madisyn might need time to think, he said, “It’s okay. There’s no rush. We can whenever you’re ready.”

Madisyn looked from Andrew to Damari.

With a gentle tone, Damari said, “You are young, and I understand if you’re not ready for marriage, but as for me, I’m old. Sadly, I may not be around forever, but it would comfort me to know you are together.”

“Grandpa!” Andrew responded, his voice tinged with frustration. “We’re close to a breakthrough with the medication. It won’t be long now.”

Damari soothed him and said, “I know you’re doing your best. But life is unpredictable. I just hope there’s always someone by your side.”

This concern was partly because Andrew had been orphaned young, which made him withdrawn and sometimes harsh. Although he managed to appear composed and courteous, beneath that exterior, he could be unforgiving and severe. While Damari was alive, he could moderate Andrew’s harsher traits. However, without him, there was a fear that Andrew’s darker side might dominate, leading him to become even more severe and possibly more violent.

Madisyn said softly, “Damari, I’ll talk it over with my family. I care deeply for Andrew, and we plan to stay together forever.”

She grasped Andrew’s hand, reinforcing her commitment in front of Damari.

Damari’s eyes gleamed with contentment. “Good, it’s comforting to see you so happy together!”

Their pleasant conversation was interrupted by a voice at the door. “Damari!” Jada and Mara entered the room. Jada looked worn, her eyes slightly red. “Damari, I didn’t think I’d return to find you unwell. I rushed here as soon as I got the news. How are you now?”

“I’m alright,” Damari responded coldly to Jada. “You needn’t have bothered to come. I’m aware of my own condition.”

Mara interjected worriedly, “This is your first time in the hospital, Damari. Jada was so anxious when she heard. She hasn’t been able to visit you for years. She just got back from overseas and was planning to see you, but then this happened. She even made soup for you, hoping it would help improve your health!”
