Chapter 454

In the evening, Carlos gave up on treatment and insisted on going home from the hospital.

“Carlos,” Ellie said, her eyes red–rimmed as she stepped forward to offer support when the car door opened.

Alex crouched down and carried Carlos into the room.

Probably because he had been in the hospital for a long time, once Carlos got home, he seemed a bit more energetic.

Seeing everyone gathered around, Carlos grumbled irritably. “Everyone has to go through this. I’ve lived long enough to see everything clearly. Go about your own business and stop hovering around me.”

Everyone left; only Alex remained. Carlos took Alex’s hand and said weakly. “The only regret in my life is not being able to see you get married”

“Grandpa, Alex said, his eyes glistening with tears as he crouched beside Carlos’s bed. “Even though I’m not married yet, Ellie and I are together now. We’ll surely be happy, Grandpal”

“Alex, promise me that no matter what, you’ll always be good to Ellie and her family. You owe them!” After said that, Carlos was tired and closed his eyes to rest.

“Grandpa, I definitely will!” Alex squeezed Carlos’s hand tightly, crouched beside the bed, and stayed there for a long time without leaving.

In the evening, Ellie came downstairs and heard Alex and his parents discussing Carlos’s funeral arrangements in the living room. Ellie stood quietly at a distance, listening but not stepping forward to join the conversation.
