Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 718 Finding The Right Timing

Paramount Hospital, A City.

When Bianca and Luke rushed over, the red light outside the operating room was still on.

Wanda Rayne sat on the bench in the corridor like a stiff puppet and stared blankly at the red light. Her sickly face

appeared paler, and her expression was filled with numbness as well as sorrow.

"Aunt Wanda..."

Bianca quietly walked to Wanda. She suppressed her grief, squatted next to Wanda, and held her cold hand. "How’s

Grandpa now? How did it happen? How did he fall?"

Wanda's pale and tired face worried her.

The last time Bianca saw her was two weeks ago. Aunt Wanda, who was once as full of life like a peony in full

bloom, now looked shriveled and skinny. Her alluring beauty had dissipated.

If the woman in front of her did not share the same face as Aunt Wanda's, Bianca would never have thought that

they were the same person.

However, Wanda did not seem to hear her. She did not respond and continued staring blankly at the operating

room.

Bianca was a little flustered when she saw how abnormally Aunt Wanda was acting. She turned and asked Luke for

help.

"Luke, what's wrong with Aunt Wanda? Aunt Wanda, will you please answer me?"

Bianca held onto Wanda's hand tightly, tears flowing down her elegant face as her misty eyes reflected Aunt

Wanda's frail body. Bianca was trembling uncontrollably.

Luke's heart ached when he saw how upset Bianca was. He tried to comfort Bianca, but his voice was hoarse as he

said, "Aunt Wanda may be overwhelmed and is shutting herself down temporarily. Don't worry, Aunt Wanda will be

back to normal after a while. Johann is inside the operating room treating Grandpa. With him on the job, no matter

how complicated the surgery is, he’ll make sure that Grandpa will come out of the operating room alive and well.

Grandpa is a blessed man, I’m sure he’ll be alright."

Although he said that, Luke, who was standing beside Bianca, kept staring at the operating room.

His expression was gloomy as a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

It seemed that their conversation brought Wanda back to reality. She was still sitting on the bench with a blank

expression, but she said to Bianca," Bea, you’re here?"

Seeing that Aunt Wanda was finally responsive, Bianca anxiously asked," Aunt Wanda, Grandpa... What’s going on

with Grandpa?"

Wanda took a deep breath, her heart feeling heavy.

Tears rolled in her eyes as she explained the situation to Bianca. "The day before yesterday was the birthday of

Florence's grandson, so she took a day off. It just so happened that I was free, so I stayed at home with your

grandpa. However, after lunch, my chest felt like it was being stabbed by needles. The pain was unbearable and I

ran out of painkillers. I was afraid that your grandpa would be worried, so I thought I'd get some medicine and

hurry back as soon as possible. I didn't think too much of it, but I didn't expect that in just such a short time, your

grandfather would fall when he went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water... When I got home, his face

was covered in blood and he was unconscious. I was so scared! I rushed him to the hospital immediately... It's all

my fault. If it weren't for my carelessness, Dad wouldn't..."

Wanda felt horrible as she recounted what had happened. She was riddled with guilt and could not help but weep

harder.

Even though she was on the brink of tears herself, Bianca hugged Wanda and understood that it was not her fault.

'Aunt Wanda is sick and has to endure all the pain that comes with it. Even then, she was still taking care of

Grandpa. She's in a vulnerable place, so what right do I have to blame her? If I had not insisted on going to Moscow

to find Luke... If I had visited Grandpa as I usually did from time to time... maybe he wouldn’t have been in danger.

I'm to blame for this...'

Bianca hugged Aunt Wanda tightly and said softly, "Aunt Wanda, what happened to Grandpa has nothing to do with

you. He’s old and in poor health. I haven't done my duty as his granddaughter to take good care of him... It's all my

fault, you're not to be blamed. Don't be too sad. Dr. Vyen said that you should manage your emotions to help with

your condition. Grandpa is still in the operating room. Please stay strong for him and me."

Old Master Rayne had been in the operating room for nearly ten hours.

Bianca and Wanda waited on the bench while Luke stood and waited with them. It felt like they were sitting on pins

and needles. Minutes felt like decades.

Luke's phone suddenly rang. It was Jim Holston checking in on whether he and Bianca had reached A City safely.

Luke kept the call brief and then turned off his phone.

Only his two best friends, Percy Mallory and Jim Holston, knew about his return to A City. He did not share the news

even with his grandfather and mother, Allison Tanner.

It was not that he did not care about them, but he had come back too suddenly and was not prepared to meet

them yet.

Moreover, he was afraid to see his Grandpa cry.

Luke was aware that Old Master Crawford was aging and his health was no longer what it was. He would not be

able to take it. Luke planned to find the right timing to go back to Crawford Manor and explain to Old Master

Crawford about his two-year disappearance.

At that moment, the red light outside the operating room was turned off and the door was opened from the inside.

Luke knew the two surgeons in white coats who came out first. They were well known and served as the surgical

director and deputy director of the hospital.

Just as Bianca was about to run up to them to ask about her Grandpa's condition, Johann walked out in a sterile

surgical gown.

He took off his mask. His handsome face seemed a little tired and his eyes were bloodshot.

Bianca got up from the bench impatiently and rushed to Johann. She grabbed onto his sleeves tightly, her eyes full

of anxiety as she asked," Johann, how's my grandpa?" "Bianca, take a deep breath and listen to me. Old Master

Rayne's fall wasn't too serious, but what I want to tell you is that he has at least three tumors inside his head. One

of which is benign, but the other two seem to be malignant. His fall has caused some pressure to be exerted onto

the tumors, which led to the onset of the condition. Even if Old Master Rayne hadn't fallen this time, based on the

size of the tumors, he was going to be hospitalized sooner or later..."

Tumors?

Everyone was shocked, especially Bianca.

Except for his poor memory, Old Master Rayne had always been healthy.

He spoke clearly and his thoughts were coherent, so whenever she brought him to have a physical examination, he

did everything except a brain CT.

At this moment, she was furious with herself for being so careless!
