Chapter 99: Grandfather will be fine
Mile ignored Aurora and spoke in a hushed voice with the other doctors. They left, leaving Mile to pass the latest findings to his family.
Aurora was becoming impatient. Why is her uncle not answering her questions? Has something happened to her great grandfather? “Uncle, stop stalling for time. How is great grandfather’s condition?”
Mile stared at Aurora coldly. He was feigning annoyance. He wanted to see what Aurora’s reaction would be. Aurora and Santiago had helped his grandfather improve his will-power. Old man Rowan will soon wake- up. He had thought that his grandfather would bow to death, but no, thanks to Aurora, he heard all they said and wanted to give a reaction at least.
“Talk uncle i…don’t… want anything to happ…en to….” Aurora couldn’t continue as she started sobbing. Mile squinted. He had to talk not to emotionally demoralize his niece.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Well, Aurora, you have to be strong. Actually grandfather has shown signs of…. huh….. recovery!!” Mile broke the news.
Luke Rowan who had been quiet and waiting patiently for his son to give them updates on his father’s health condition smiled cheerfully. He was glad and quickly hugged his wife whose eyes had become moist for joy.
“What!” Aurora inquired and cleaned her tears quickly. Forgetting she’s a grown-up, she jumped on her uncle and gave him a tight hug. Aurora did not know how long she remained there still hugging her uncle but Mile’s words soon brought her back to her senses.
“ha…. huh… Aurora I will be a million times grateful, if you can just let me go so that I can breathe normally” He was going to be suffocated by Aurora, if she kept hugging him.
Aurora let him go and Mile coughed slightly. “Grandfather must have wanted to reply or react to Aurora and Santiago’s words. After we examined him, he’s likely to come out of a coma before dawn tomorrow”.
“Did you hear that Luke? Aurora and Santiago’s words had helped father-in-law recover very fast. I knew that boy was perfect for our Rowan family. He’s getting to meet father-inlaw for the first time and has already left a good impression on him”.
“Can’t you help stop praising him?” Luke chided her. But in reality he was applauding him in his heart. “Are you jealous at your age that I am praising another man?”
“How can I be jealous of a man that is most appealing to be my grand son in-law? And what if I chose to be jealous of the man most qualified to be with my granddaughter, what are you going to do about it?”
Mia’s lips twitched slightly. Her parents never cease to express their love openly before their children. To an outsider, one would think they are arguing but in reality they are expressing their mutual awareness of each other’s presence.
“Father, mother, you both would have become superstars as comedians. You’ll never cease to amaze me and am not getting enough of your Jokes” Mile complimented.
Eli came in, together with his wife. They brought dinner along. After they all had their dinner, Eli opted to stay back and Mile also promised to visit his grandfather’s ward as often as he could since he’s on night shift.
Aurora, in the company of her mother and grandparents, left. As soon as they got home, Sam and Samantha came out of their rooms to greet them. When Aurora saw them, she put on a friendly frown. These kids should have been sleeping already, why are they still awake without showing any slight intention of being sleepy.
Aurora was already feeling sleepy. Her day had been hectic and tiresome. She gave her kids a quick hug and kissed them goodnight before dragging her feet groggily to her room.
She wanted to place a call across to Santiago, but felt exhausted. She threw herself down onto the bed and soon slept off. That night she had a dream of her and Santiago getting married. Sam was acting as the ring bearer and Samantha is the little bride.
In that dream, she was looking radiant and having the feeling of the happiest woman in the world. Santiago was looking super handsome and as he blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes made him look like one from the historical celestial empire.
Same night in Florence City. Caden stayed very late. Tola and Eve Diego stayed awake, talking about Eve Diego’s blind date with the young master James Bradston.
After Santiago jilted her publicly, she had not been able to get a responsible rich master to hang out with. Each time her parents tried getting her a blind date, she either declined directly or ended up waiting for hours without anyone showing up. After many attempts, she refused to make a fool of herself anymore.
But with the full Support of James Bradston’s mother, her blind date did not keep her waiting.
When she arrived at the venue of their meeting, she saw a young man at a reserved area, sipping from his glass of wine. She checked her phone and looked at the picture on it before walking over to take a seat opposite him.
James Bradston raised his head and saw a lady taking a seat in front of him. He squinted, this must be the lady he was expecting.
“Hey” James Bradston waved his hand before her face. She should be a little polite and should have waited for him to invite her to a seat before taking it, after all he was the one paying whatever their bill was going to be at the end of their meeting.
Eve Diego Ignored him and sat down comfortably. She placed her right leg on the left and placed her cross bag on the table separating them before sparing the young man a glance.
