Chapter 528
“I know my own body. To have a granddaughter like you in my life, I’m already more than content. I didn’t live this life in vain.”
Grace was huffing and puffing as she spoke, struggling to supplement, “My only regret is that I won’t be able to see you in your wedding dress, stepping Into the world of matrimony.”
Bella would surely look stunning in a wedding dress! But it was a shame that she wouldn’t be able to see it in this lifetime.
Just then, the operating room door was flung open by Caden, “Bellal Romeo has been waiting outside!”
“Let him in!” After Arabella finished speaking, she carefully wiped the tears off the old lady’s face, pleading softly, “Granny, please hang in there for a bit longer. Romeo is on his way. I haven’t even introduced you two yet.”
Grace seemed to not hear her, using her last bit of strength to smile, “I’m no longer a burden to you, look after yourself, be happy.” “Granny!”
Romeo ran in just to see Grace stop breathing in front of Arabella, her eyes weakly closing and her frail hand slipping down.
“Granny!” Arabella couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of her, holding onto Grace, her mind in a blank slate.
Not long after, the whole operating room was filled with the girl’s heartbreaking cries. Romeo’s feet froze in place, never expecting to be a second too late, a second that meant the difference between life and death.
“Granny, wake up!” Arabella knelt on the cold floor, cradling the old lady’s body and wailing hysterically.
That was the first time Romeo saw her cry.
From when he first met her, she had never shown her vulnerability, like there was nothing in the world she couldn’t handle.
She was always so proud, so strong, but now she was crying like a child.
“I didn’t even get to take you abroad, didn’t get to introduce Romeo to you, why did you have to leave me?”
Arabella cried out; her heartache evident.
“Granny, come back, we have so many things left to do together.”
“You promised me, you said you’d live to a hundred.”
“Granny, it’s all my fault.”
Seeing her blaming herself, Romeo walked over, bending down to gently hold her.
“You did your best.”
At least in Romeo’s eyes, from the early hours of the morning till the afternoon, she had done everything she could to save her granny’s life.
If there was any chance at all, she wouldn’t let her granny slip away from her.
Arabella sobbed sorrowfully and guiltily, “I’m a doctor but I couldn’t save her, why? Why couldn’t I save her? Why was there no other way?”
Romeo held her tightly, his eyes reddening. He knew how important Grace was to Arabella, and he understood her feelings at that moment more deeply. “It’s not your fault, you did everything you could. If you’re sad, cry it out. I’m here for you.”
“I couldn’t save her, Romeo,” Arabella lowered her head as if defeated by reality, and held onto the old lady’s body, crying bitterly.
When she was studying medicine, she had promised her granny that she would protect her health and ensure her longevity!
She had even promised her granny that she would live to a hundred, because there was no surgery she couldn’t handle in this world.
But now, her granny had passed away in front of her due to a heart rupture!
People knew that Dr. Bell was incredible, with superb medical skills, but they didn’t know that there were people in this world that even Dr. Bell couldn’t
save!
