Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Chapter 207 +25 BONUS “You...” Jade stumbled, nearly falling, but Xavier was quick to catch her. “Madam Shaw, are you okay?” Xavier shot a worried look at Jade, then glared at Noelle. “Noelle, that was too much. Apologize to Madam Shaw now!”

“Apologize?” Noelle’s mouth twisted into a half–smile. “Is this really the time? Grandpa’s still in surgery, and you’re all blaming me? We’ll see who’s really at fault when Grandpa wakes up.”

Noelle did not want to deal with them, so she quietly walked to the other side.

Winter bit her lip and gently pulled on Jade’s hand. “Mom, Noelle’s worried about Grandpa too. Please don’t be mad. And Xavier, Noelle didn’t mean to do that.” Winter walked up to Noelle and asked, “Noelle, are you okay?”

Noelle squinted her eyes. She had to admit that Winter was pretty bold. This was why Charles always said she could not beat Winter–Winter was a much better actor.

When Noelle did not respond, Winter reached out and tugged at Noelle’s hand with a sad look. know you’re still upset with me, but Grandpa’s sick now. What can’t we fix between us sisters? I was wrong before, Noelle. Can we forget all that for Grandpa’s sake?”

Noelle turned away from Winter, her eyebrows knitted together. She saw Jade and Xavier watching her, then looked at Winter.

She understood what Winter was up to now. Noelle smiled slightly. “You’re right, Sis. With Grandpa sick, we shouldn’t talk about trivial matters. I just want some quiet now, okay?” ist want some quiet now, okay?”

“Noelle!” Winter’s voice was anxious. “I really care about Grandpa too.”

“Do you?” Noelle laughed softly, squinting at Winter. “Was there anything else you wanted to tell me?”

“Noelle, do you know why Grandpa had a stroke?”

Noelle was puzzled by what Winter was trying to say. She stayed silent, just gazing at Winter. Winter gripped her bag so hard it almost changed shape, boiling with anger at Noelle. When Noelle did not answer, Winter felt a mix of anger and urgency. “Noelle is Grandpa...?”

“Who’s here for the patient?”

Right then, the operating room doors swung open, and the doctor stepped out. Noelle saw him and immediately left Winter’s side to approach him. “I am! I’m his granddaughter! My name is Noelle!”

The doctor gave Noelle a nod and said, “Your grandpa’s stable for now, but he’s old and can’t handle much stress. We can’t have another day like today.”

“Yes, I understand.” Noelle nodded quickly. “So, how’s my grandpa doing now?”

“He’s still out cold and needs to spend the night in the ICU. If he wakes up tomorrow, he should be okay,” the doctor said, then glanced past Noelle at the others and took off his mask. “You should go pay for the treatment now. Don’t crowd here. You don’t need to stay with him tonight. He needs his peace and quiet.” “That’s a relief. I’m happy as long as he’s okay!” Noelle let out a sigh of relief. “Thanks so much, doctor!” The doctor looked at the whole family. Only Noelle had stepped up to ask about the patient’s situation. He shook his head with a sense of resignation and added, “Don’t mention it. We’re just doing our job.”
