Chapter 72
Cornelia quickly grabbed her suitcase and hopped into a taxi rushing to the hospital
On the taxi ride, Ryan’s call came through again, like a nagging reminder, ‘Ms. Stewart, we were all
good last night, what the heck are you doing today?”
This was indeed Cornelia’s fault. “Mr. Cowell I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to bail, but something came up
at home and I have to deal with it. Can we reschedule the divorce after I’m done with
this
The divorce won’t take long. You come and get the paper work done, and then I’ll drive you wherever
you need to go, how’s that?” As long as Cornelia would come to get the divorce, he was willing to do
anything, even beg her on his knees.

hung up and turned off her phone
At this moment, all she could think about was her grandma’s condition, her heart was in a mess, and
she had no mood to deal with the divorce.
Ryan looked at his phone dejectedly, realizing that she wasn’t in Riverton, and there was no way she
could make it to the divorce within an hour.
Glancing at Marcus again, this time without any confidence, he said, “Marc, your wife said she’s not in
Riverton.”
Marcus sneered, “You really believe a woman like that?”
Ryan thought he was right, “Fine, I’ll go find her myself. As long as she’s in Riverton today, I drag her
here, even if I have to tie her up.”
When Cornelia arrived at the hospital, her grandma was still in the ICU, and she couldn’t see her yet.
She had to learn about her grandma’s condition from the doctor first.
Her grandma had uremia, and the best treatment was a kidney transplant, but it was hard to find a
suitable kidney donor, especially considering her grandma’s age. So, for now, dialysis was the only
option.
The medical facilities in Rosenberg were mediocre, and the doctor said that Riverton Hospital was the
authority in this field, but it was more expensive.
Cornelia only had her grandma as family, and no matter how expensive the treatment was, she couldn’t
give up. She made up her mind, “Dr. Lopez, Ill take my grandma to Riverton for treatment
Hearing Cornelia’s decision, Dr. Lopez nodded approvingly, “You’re more reliable than your uncle and
aunt. The old lady didn’t cherish you for nothing”

suffocated with heartache, “Has grandma been thinking of me all this time?”
Dr. Lopez said, “When she’s in a daze, she mumbles about her Nelly. When she wakes up briefly, she’s
looking for her Nelly, and something like Jay, too?”
It wasn’t a surprise that her grandma was thinking of her, but Cornelia didn’t expect her to think of
Jeremy as well. If her grandma knew she was supposed to get a divorce with Jeremy today…
Cornelia’s face turned pale with fright, not daring to think further.
Seeing Cornelia’s pale face, Dr. Lopez patted her on the shoulder, “You don’t need to worry too much,
as long as the old lady can make it through today, shell be fine once she’s transferred to the general
ward. But, you can’t let her live alone anymore. Elderly people are prone to accidents when living
alone, and you need to pay more attention. If it wasn’t for the worker who regularly delivers water to the
old lady, noticing her collapsed at home and calling an ambulance, the outcome could have been much
worse.”
Just imagining it, Cornelia was already scared. If no one had discovered her grandma’s collapse, her
grandma might have left her forever, just like her dad.
