Her Precious Baby

Wilfred let out a bitter chuckle.

“I almost forgot I’m blind. Can’t believe I’m all alone in my last days.” His voice was filled with regret.

Angeline quickly held his hand. It took her every ounce of willpower not to cry.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Grandpa? I’m right here.” She forced a cheery tone.

“Angeline?”

Wilfred was overjoyed. He grabbed her hand excitedly and babbled, “I’m so glad you’re here. Who would have thought you would be the one by my side before I passed on?”

Angeline could only comfort him with words as she couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth.

“That won’t happen, Grandpa. The doctor said just now you will recover. You just need to recuperate. I’ll hire some caregivers to look after you.”

Wilfred chuckled. He spoke in a relaxed manner as if he had overcome the fear of death. “I know my own body best. I only have a few days left.”

“I’ll get you the best doctor-”

“No need to waste your money. It’s pointless now.”

Wilfred paused as his eyes darkened. He gritted his teeth and said resentfully, “It’s so unfair. I never thought that the granddaughter I’ve raised would try to kill me to get her hands on my inheritance. I thought we were family.”

Upon finishing his sentence, he clutched his chest and launched into a coughing fit.

Angeline quickly helped him up, poured him a glass of water, and fed him with a spoon.

She waited till he had calmed down before deciding to tell him the truth, even though she was worried that his heart wouldn’t be able to take it.
