Chapter 198 Visit Grandparents
Amily did not dare to look at Paige either and kept her head down to wait on Patricia.
“How are my grandparents recently?” After Hernan served Paige food, his eyes fell on his parents.
Recently, Hernan either was busy with the company or went to stay with Paige, so even though he had been back
for a week, he had not visited his grandparents.
“On the day of the awards ceremony, your grandmother woke up once, but then she fainted again. I don’t know
when she will wake up again.” Danica said with distress.
“What caused it?” Paige asked in a light voice.
She had heard that her grandparents were in poor health, but she didn’t ask about the specific situation.
“They love doing exercises. A month ago, when they went climbing the mountain, your grandmother fell. In order
to catch her, your grandfather fell more than ten steps. They fainted at the same time, and when they were sent to
the hospital, they were unconscious.”
Danica still remembered that day, as if it happened yesterday.
“The CT scan showed that your grandmother had a fracture in her ***, and there are many fractures in her body.
Your grandfather was worse than her because when he fell, he used himself as a **in order to protect your
grandma. Not only are there many fractures in his body, but there is also bruising in his left chest and blood
accumulated in his ***. Both of them are in dangerous situations.”
Danica still felt scared when she thought of that day. “During the examination that day, your grandfather went into
shock, and your grandmother was suffering from acute breathing failure. That was scary.”
At that time, their vital signs were extremely unstable. And they were too seriously injured to have surgery, so the
doctor transferred them to ICU.

Danica said this with a sinking heart. “And they suffer from a series of complications. I heard from the doctor that
intracranial hemorrhage has caused great damage to the central nervous system. Both of them have symptoms of
coughing and dys-expectoration, so the doctor had to use a breathing machine to help them breathe.”
It sounded like their conditions were really serious, and they might pass away at any time.
Donald also said solemnly, “In the past month, the entire ICU team has overcome many difficulties. Your
grandparents suffer from breath failure, shock, respiratory infection, anemia, electrolytic disorder, and so on.
Doctors and nurses face new challenges every day. Although we don’t know when they will wake up, we have been
holding on
to hope.”
“Are they in Farwen Hospital?” Paige asked.
“No.”
Although Farwen Hospital was the best public hospital in the city and was famous for curing heart disease, it was
not as considerate as the private hospital in nursing.
“Our family also has a hospital. It’s called Daybreak Hospital. Your grandparents are there to recuperate.” Donald
explained, “There are professionals taking good care of them. They will communicate with your grandparents and
give them positive hints. They also hope that they can wake up soon.”
“Are they better now?” Hernan asked in a low voice.
“No. Your uncle has contacted the top experts abroad. He took them abroad for treatment a while ago.”
Hearing that, Hernan felt more depressed. The seniors were all in poor health
“Well, let’s not talk about this. Just eat.” Donald didn’t want the atmosphere to be heavy. He picked up some dishes
for Paige and said, “Eat more. It has been almost a month since you came back, right?”
“Yeah.” Paige picked up the plate and took the dishes that her father gave her.
“The SAT results seem to be coming out soon?”
“Yes, I can check it the day after tomorrow.”
“Great. Do you have any universities you want to be admitted to?” Donald laughed, “If you want to go to college, I
will support you. But if you don’t want to go to college, I will not stop you as long as you are happy.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
Patricia was extremely jealous.
“Are you nervous?” Hernan looked at Paige with a gentle gaze.
Paige was confused.
It was just to check the SAT results. What was there to be nervous about?
If Hernan had known how excellent she was in the study, he would not have asked this question.
But in order to not let Hernan worry, Paige still replied obediently, “Well, no.”
Hernan could not see the nervousness and anxiety in her eyes. He guessed that she was confident in the results.
“Hernan is going abroad the next day. After work tomorrow, I will take you to see your grandparents.”
This was the last time he could stay with Paige.
He had to be busy with work, and tomorrow was the last day for him to keep Paige company. Thinking of this, he
was a little reluctant to part with her.
Although Donald and Danica also wanted to let their parents see Paige, the elders were still in a coma, which was
why they did not arrange for them to meet with Paige.
A sly smile lashed in Patricia’s eyes. If her grandparents did not wake up, then Paige could not get the approval of

But if they suddenly woke up and saw Paige, they would be emotional. With their poor health, they could not
withstand excitement. If anything wrong happened to them, then Paige would become the culprit.
How could the Lusk family keep a person who killed the elders?
Patricia couldn’t miss such a good show.
Thinking of this, she softly said, “Dad, ****, Hernan, I also want to visit grandparents.”
Then shall we go to see them together? Donald thought that maybe his parents would wake up when they heard
the
familiar voices.
“Paige, I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon.” Hernan touched Paige’s head. “Let’s eat first. The dishes are cold.”
“OK.” Paige thought that Patricia was going to be jealous again. Recently, Hernan had neglected Patricia.
Fortunately, the Lusk family had its hospital for Paige’s grandparents to recover. An ordinary family couldn’t afford
to spend 3,200 dollars a day on taking care of the patients.
Colin once said that he had already seen through human nature because he had seen countless situations in the
emergency room. Some family members wanted to take away the life-saving machine when their family went into
the ICU for treatment.
They did this because they didn’t have money, or they weren’t patient.
In short, every familiar had its own difficulties.
“Paige, what are you thinking about?” Hernan gave her a plate of soup. Paige was quite calm just now, but now she
was lost in thought. Hernan wondered if she was worried about the results of SAT.
In the end, Paige was still young. Even if she wanted to look calm, Hernan could understand her.
Thinking of this, Hernan gently said, “Don’t worry. Even if you don’t get good results, I’ll be there for you.”
In Chicago, no one dared to refuse to admit the Lusk family.
