Chapter 0137
My body went rigid and blood drained from my face.
"I will text her the hospital address," Mark said then the line went dead.
"Oh God," sensing the urgency of the situation, Lucas quickly rolled off me and I jumped out of bed. "Lucas, I need to get there quickly." I didn't bother to search for the clothes we had blindly flung across the room. I ran straight to my wardrobe and reached for the first outfit I saw a dress shirt.
I reached for my underwear and strapped it on. My hands trembled as I struggled with the buttons of the shirt. Lucas was suddenly before me. He gently and wordlessly took the shirt from me, undid the buttons and put the shirt over my head and did the button. I just stood there and let him dress me up.
Even though Doris was not my biological grandma, even though she was the grandma of a man I once loathed, she still meant so much to me. Grandma Doris is one of the few people that treated me well. She was the one who gave me an inkling of how it felt to have a mother. She had been nothing short of good since she met me. I don't think I could bear it if anything happened to her.
Her condition must really be serious for her to have asked to see me.
As I put on my flip-flops, ready to dash out of the house, Lucas' hold on my arm stopped me. "Let me come with you."
"I'll wait for you in the car," I told him and rushed out.
We went with Lucas' car. Thank God there was no traffic; within minutes, Lucas was pulling before the hospital entrance. He urged me in while he went to find a parking spot.
