Chapter 276 The Death of Grandma Eva

Staring at Amy in his arms, Richard sank into reverie, thinking how the woman had treated herself over

the last few years and why she was in such a bad health condition. Although it was heartbreaking for

him to see her in pain, she had to get an intravenous infusion. Seeing the nurse putting a needle into

her hand, Richard wished he could suffer this pain for her.

Amy frowned slightly. The nurse was adept at injecting since she made it on the first try. As the fluid

flowed into Amy's body, she gradually became calm. With less pain in her stomach and more

importantly, lying in Richard's warm arms made her feel comfortable so she stopped frowning.

Since she was at ease in his arms, he knew she was not as tough as she looked. She was so cute

while sleeping that he was loath to put her in the bed.

"You must be her husband. Put her in the bed and you will feel easier. It won't work to hold her all the

time," said the nurse to Richard.

Richard had to pick her up, lay her in the bed, removed her shoes and covered her with a quilt.

Put in the bed suddenly, Amy got a fright and seemed to wake up. Due to the dizziness, however, she

fell asleep again.

At this moment, Richard's phone rang, which was from home. He answered and the other side of the

conversation, the housekeeper, said that Grandma Eva didn't look well.

Worrying about Amy, Richard called Hannah, asking her to take care of Amy. When Hannah arrived,

Richard took a glance at Amy who lied still before he left.

"Mr. Carter, Grandma Eva is not very well. She just could not recognize people before, but now

she can't eat anything, " said the housekeeper anxiously.

Addy went to get medication and had not come back yet. When the housekeeper took her food to her

room, he discovered that there was something wrong with Grandma Eva.

"Well, send her to hospital. Her disease has become more serious." Richard had a glance at Grandma

Eva. Her eyes were closed and her lips were pressed together. She was too ill to eat anything and

answer anyone.

"All right, I'll take her to the hospital right away," said the housekeeper. Then he assigned this task to

the driver and informed Addy of this matter. At that time, Addy was on her way back. The moment she

heard the news, she called Allison and reported the news to her. Then, under the instructions of Allison,

she went to the hospital.

"Maybe you can prepare the funeral now. She is dying. Inform her friends and relatives of this news,"

said the doctor. He examined her body and found that she was doomed to death.

"All right." Having experienced the death of his father, Richard was now pretty calm.

He went to the door and called Hilary, Cathy, uncle and Jacob to let them see Grandma Eva the last

time.

After the phone call, Richard heard a woeful cry from the ward. It was Addy.

"Mom, how can you leave us like this? I have taken care of you for such a long time. Without you, I will

live in agony for the rest of my life!" Outwardly, she was lamenting over the death of Grandma Eva.

Inside was another story. All she said was intended to arouse Richard's sympathy.

"Aunt, pull yourself together. I'll take care of you in the future." Richard comforted her because he was

grateful for her commitment to Grandma Eva.

"Richard, I know you are nice to me, but my stay here must make someone unhappy. The best choice

for me is to go back and lead a lonely life, " she pretended to weep bitterly as if the Carter family were

all unfeeling and ruthless, who let her attend Grandma Eva before and turned the back on her soon

after the death of Grandma Eva.

"You will not live a miserable life like that. I'll buy you a house and give you a numerous allowance to

make sure you are looked after," said Richard. He was not a fool this time. He didn't drive her away but

he wouldn't let her stay at his house anymore. He could buy her a house and hire servants for her. It

was best for her to keep a distance from his family since she was father's ex-wife.

"Why not let me stay with you and serve you?" What Addy wanted was not just a house, but the

property of the Carter family.

"Aunt, you have lived a hard life for the past years. For the rest of your life, I hope you can be easy and

happy. There is nothing you need to worry about. I will prepare anything you need for you," said

Richard. He didn't meet her requisition since the well-being of his family was prior to anything. He

wouldn't leave his own mother outside due to a person of different blood.

Richard became smart this time and turned her out of the door. Addy bore a grudge against him but

she had no choice. At least, it was better than going back to the countryside. As long as she was in R

City, she was with Allison and her son, so they could solve the problems together if anything happened.

"All right, I intend to serve you to repay you for your kindness. Since you decline this requisition, I have

nothing to repay you but gratitude from the bottom of my heart." She was clever and didn't ask for

anything more in case her trick was recognized by Richard.

When Hilary and Jacob arrived, Grandma Eva was on the brink of death.

"Grandma, I am Jacob. Do you still remember me? " Jacob yelled, bending over the bed.

Surprisingly, she opened her eyes after Jacob's yelling. She looked at Jacob and other people and then

fixed her eyes on Addy.

Grandma Eva raised her hand and pointed at Addy. Seeing her action, Addy was very nervous and

was afraid that Grandma Eva would reveal her secrets and obstruct her way for the wealth. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Then a trick came to her mind. She hurried towards Grandma Eva, held her tightly and cried, "Mom,

don't worry about me. Everything is all right. Richard said he would take good care of me." Due to her

fierce shaking, Grandma died immediately.

Addy pretended to cry more bitterly after her death. Those who didn't know the truth might be moved

by her performance.

Cathy stood watching coldly. She felt nothing but relaxed about the death of Grandma Eva.

"What is this?" Hilary asked. She came to Grandma Eva not because of any attachment to her but

because she was curious about the thing falling from Grandma Eva. She walked towards her and

picked it up.
