Translator: 549690339
He had just gone downstairs to pick someone up, how did it turn into this scene now?
It was indeed quite unfathomable for him.
At this moment, a nurse finally arrived and looked at them gathered around the door with a puzzled expression before asking.
“Are you all here to see the old man inside this room?”
Upon hearing her speak, everyone turned their attention to the nurse, nodding in response.
“Yes, yes, where is he?”
An elderly woman nearby also looked worried.
The nurse shook her head and pointed to the emergency room not far away.
“The old man had a sudden condition and has been taken to the emergency room. You can go and check to see what’s going on.”
After hearing this, everyone finally understood what was happening.
However, they felt that everything had happened too suddenly, leaving them unable to react.
They exchanged glances and walked towards the emergency room after a while.
They had indeed noticed that the light was still on in there, but they hadn’t expected the old man to be inside.
The old woman collapsed onto the chair beside her, finding it hard to believe.
Mrs. Walker, who was sitting next to her, raised her hand and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
“It’s okay, don’t worry too much for now.”
Although she said this, how could she not be worried?
Despite having suffered many beatings at the hands of the old man in the past, she was still nervous when it came to matters of life and death.
If something really happened, she wouldn’t know what to do.
Suri Drew glanced at Yigol Novak and then walked to a small corner nearby. Although Yigol didn’t know what Suri meant, he obediently followed her.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Yigol raised his hand, gently rubbing her head and tenderly asked.
Upon hearing this, Suri couldn’t help but mumble.
“Do you think this is some kind of retribution?” Yigol couldn’t help but smile when he heard what she said.
He knew what Suri meant by this.
He had to admit that everything had happened too suddenly, even to the point where it was unexpected.
But perhaps all of this had already been arranged by God.
He gently shook his head, expressing his own thoughts on the matter.
“We don’t need to concern ourselves with the outcome. I know this might be very difficult for you, but God may have already arranged everything.”
After hearing Yigol’s words, Suri couldn’t help but nod, thinking his words made a lot of sense.
“Wow, my husband is so wise with his words.”
Seeing the woman in front of him saying this, Yigol’s smile naturally grew bigger.
“Alright, let’s not stay here any longer and go back to the two old women, they must be very worried.”
Suri understood his point, so they both went back to the old ladies.
This time, everyone remained quiet, sitting in their chairs, looking very tense. After an unknown amount of time, a doctor finally came out.
Seeing this, everyone immediately stood up and asked the doctor curiously.
“How is the situation inside?”
The doctor, seeing their anxious expressions, probably guessed that these were the patient’s relatives.
He shook his head gently, looking quite distressed.
Seeing his expression, everyone already had their own guesses about the situation.
It seemed the outcome wasn’t going to be good.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have that expression on his face.
He sighed softly before finally speaking.
“The patient’s condition was too sudden, and we have been trying our best to treat him, but there is nothing we can do. Please be prepared for the worst.” Suri and Yigol exchanged glances, not expecting such a thing to happen.
The two old ladies, upon hearing these words, seemed momentarily unable to cope.
They instantly slumped in their seats.
Fortunately, Suri and Yigol quickly supported the two of them, or else they would have fallen to the ground.
“Don’t be too nervous.”
It took Suri a while before she finally managed to squeeze these words out from between her clenched teeth.
In this situation, she hadn’t expected that the old man would actually pass away.
The doctor, seeing their expressions, heaved a heavy sigh.
“Elders, you must take care of your own health. Although this is a very unfortunate event, at your age, you cannot afford to be too emotional.” Suri immediately chimed in.
“Yes, please don’t be too upset. The old man has lived a long life and had a frail body. Leaving early might be a relief for him.”
“Regardless, you must not grieve too much, or else your own health could suffer.”
They didn’t want anything unexpected to happen to the elderly ladies now.
After all, things had finally taken a turn for the good in their lives.
After hearing these words, the old ladies took a deep breath.
They knew they had to take good care of themselves and not be overly emotional.
Given the situation, they had no choice.
How could they not know what their bodies were like?
In such circumstances, they had to protect their bodies first.
Both of them gently nodded their heads, and Mrs. Walker quickly recovered.
She was now more worried about the other old woman.
After all, no matter what, the other woman’s husband had just left this world.
Mrs. Walker raised her hand, gently caressing her shoulder before pulling her into an embrace to comfort her.
“You’ve already done so much. If it were someone else, they might have left him long ago, but you stayed by his side, taking care of him tirelessly..”
