Chapter 54 Can’t Have Both

“Imogen, what happened to your head? How did you get hurt? Is it serious?” Henry looked at the bandage on Imogen’s head, very concerned.

Imogen quickly shook her head. “Grandpa, don’t worry, it was just an accidental bump, not

serious.”

Her vision was just slightly blurred, which was not a big deal.

“That’s good. You’re still young, so you must take care of your health. Don’t be like me. I’m not in good shape and can’t hold on for much longer,” Henry said weakly.

“No, Grandpa, please don’t say that. Your health will definitely improve, and you will live a long and healthy life.” Imogen’s tears swirled in her eyes.

“Why are you crying like child? Hey, there’s no need to cry.” Henry gently wiped away the tears from Imogen’s face.

“I won’t cry as long as you’re fine,” Imogen sobbed in a hoarse voice.

“Imogen, my dear. I’m an old man, and everyone will reach this stage eventually. I’m already prepared for this day to come. I’m not afraid, and I hope you won’t be afraid either, okay?” Imogen bit her lip, her smile heavy as if it weighed a ton, and she finally buried her face in the blanket and cried loudly.

She knew very well that everyone would face this stage in life.

Her grandparents and her father all passed away. Imogen had been through a lot, so she wasn’t willing to accept this fact.

How could she accept that her beloved grandfather was about to leave her as well?

“Good girl, don’t cry.” Henry affectionately stroked Imogen’s head.

Troy stepped forward and helped Imogen up, whispering, “Don’t cry, Imogen. Grandpa is fine now.”

Imogen stopped crying, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve. “I’m such a fool. Grandpa is fine. Why am I crying? I should be smiling.”

Troy looked at her forced smile, pursing his lips and gently wiping the tears from her face.

“Troy, Imogen, it’s just the three of us here. Let’s have a heart–to–heart talk. Are you planning to get divorced today? If it wasn’t for my sudden illness, would you have already divorced?” Henry

asked.

Imogen and Troy exchanged glances.

“Don’t try to hide things from me. Although I’m old, I’m not senile. I know what you’re thinking. Whatever is in your hearts, I know all of it.”

Tears brimmed in Imogen’s eyes, and her vision was

“Sorry, Grandpa, I disappointed you completely blurred.

“Imogen, don’t cry. I’m very concerned about you. I know that you appear strong and brave on the surface, but deep down, you’re the timidest.”

Henry was right. Deep down, she was timid, cowardly, insecure, sensitive, and she didn’t even dare to let Troy know that she liked him.

She feared being laughed at, rejected, and losing everything. So, she acted like she didn’t care about anything, as if that was the only way to avoid getting hurt.
