Chapter 27 Wedding Ring

“What did the doctor say?” Aurelia asked, worried about Mabel’s condition.

She knew that Mabel had always had heart issues. Mabel had undergone several bypass surgeries and was frequently admitted to the hospital.

Various renowned doctors had determined that Mabel could only hold on for a maximum of three more years. That was why Matthew had signed a secret marriage agreement with her for three years.

Evelyn’s eyes were somewhat red. “The doctor said Old Mrs. Quigley’s condition isn’t very promising. He hopes that the family can make her remaining days as joyful as possible. Who knows, there might even be a miracle.”

Aurelia’s throat felt dry and sore as she stood in front of the door and looked into the ward.

In the ward, Mabel looked extremely haggard, a stark contrast to her usual cheerful and kindly demeanor. Seeing her in this state was heart–wrenching.

Matthew silently observed Aurelia. Seeing the genuine concern and worry in her eyes, even if he had some unfavorable impressions of her, he couldn’t deny that she truly cared for his grandmother.

The words of Evelyn also served as a reminder to him, suggesting that his timing to propose the termination of the agreement seemed inappropriate.

“I’m not hungry. I’ll wait here for Grandma to wake up,” Aurelia said as she moved to the side and sat down.

Matthew sat down next to Aurelia.

Fortunately, the two didn’t sit for long before Mabel woke up.

The two immediately entered the ward.

Mabel looked at them, flashing a weak smile. “Did I cause you all to worry?”

“How are you feeling now? Should we call the doctor?” Aurelia’s voice was particularly gentle as if she was soothing a child.

“Those doctors don’t have many solutions. Why call them now that I’m awake? Auri, don’t worry. Hannah said I’m tough. I can still hang on for a few more years. By the way, you were sick with a fever yesterday. Did Matthew take good care of you?”

While asking, Mabel sized up her own grandson.

There was a strong implication that if Matthew failed to take good care of Aurelia, she would not let him off easily.

A deep worry was hidden in Matthew’s eyes. Upon meeting his grandmother’s sharp gaze, he
