Chapter 715

"Danny..."

Her voice was laced with a pitiful choke, "I never wanted to be a bother, but I've got no family left. If you can't be there for me, then I guess it's up to Auntie Karen to take care of me. I just don't want to be alone at a time like this." "Even though it's just a minor injury, I'm still pretty scared."

"I hate being in the hospital by myself, you know that."

Nelly had returned from abroad because her grandfather was critically ill.

Most of her time lately had been spent caring for him in the hospital, which is how she ended up in his ward.

Her grandfather had been Caldwell's chauffeur his whole life. Plus, Caldwell had sent her abroad for such a long time, keeping her away from her grandfather for so many years, depriving them of time together. So, he was given treatment in a VIP ward.

But it wasn't long before he passed away.

Having faced tough times abroad already, Nelly found it especially hard to say goodbye to her grandfather in a place reeking of disinfectant.

Moreover, she and her grandfather had only had each other, making the hospital an even lonelier place for her after he was gone.

But thanks to Dailey, she had visited quite a few times.
