Chapter 116 Make Good Use Of The Opportunity

Old Master Cooper nodded. “Oh, then let’s wait outside for a while.”

Sarah immediately helped the old man sit down. “Grandpa, take a seat first!”

Old Master Cooper smiled and sat on the chair.

Julian and Vivian stood next to him. Julian’s eyes seemed to sweep past Sarah and then Christian. In terms of relationship, he was a person who had experienced it before. Therefore, he caught the tacit understanding and ambiguous feeling between the two of them at first glance.

In his heart, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Since yesterday, when he saw Christian’s legs recover and stand up, he was a little worried. Christian was originally a very attractive person. In the past, sitting in a wheelchair was one thing, but now that he stood up. A girl like Sarah was very likely to be attracted to him. Now, it seemed that it was close to the truth.

The few of them waited outside the door for about ten minutes before they heard the door to the room open. Daphne immediately walked forward and looked at the attending physician to ask.

“Doctor, how is my husband’s health now?”

“Don’t worry! The surgery last night was very successful. The patient only needs to cooperate with the recovery treatment in the later stages. It should not be a problem. But your family members must remember one thing. Don’t let him get too emotional again. Great sorrow and great joy are not allowed. You must let the patient restrain himself. The surgery is still very successful. Don’t worry.”

After the attending physician finished speaking, he exhorted a few more details. Then, he left with the nurses.

Once the doctor left, a few people walked in. When Benjamin saw his son’s appearance, he immediately limped over to his son’s sickbed and sat down. He held his son’s hand tightly and looked a little excited. “Ethan, what happened to you? I am so old, and I am still fine. You have to get better quickly. . . Do you know?”

Daphne also walked to the other side of the bed and sat down. Seeing her husband lying on the bed, her nose twitched and she could not help but cry.

Vivian immediately walked to Daphne’s side and lightly patted the latter’s shoulder, “Mom, don’t be too sad. Dad’s body will recover very soon. . . “

Daphne nodded her head. “Yes, yes. . . “

Benjamin sat in the ward for a while. Christian then let the old man go home first. After all, this kind of place was not suitable for old people to stay long.

Julian left with Benjamin, but he drove directly to Cooper Group. When Ethan fell sick, the person who had the biggest headache was him. Although he was the CEO of Cooper Group, how useful was he? Only he knew.

Ethan was a man who did things swiftly and decisively. He was also very famous. He had a very forthright personality. Many people liked to do business with him.

Although Julian was the CEO, almost all the big things in the company were handled by Ethan. Only those small matters or insignificant matters would be handled by the former. Julian had a rather casual personality in the past. In addition, his mother doted on him. Plus, Ethan did not dare to give him the power of the company, so he had plenty of time.

Now that Ethan had fallen ill, everything in the company had to depend on him. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

But this was also not bad. If he managed the company well, wouldn’t it mean that his father would be able to pass the company to him without worry in the future?

The car stopped in front of the traffic light. Julian didn’t know if it was because he was too tired. . . But the intersection in front of him was a little blurry for a moment.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed between his eyebrows, then rubbed his eyes. He sighed in his heart that he didn’t sleep much last night. When his hand touched the eyelids of his right eye, it paused for a moment on the shallow scar.

He thought of that day when Sarah waved her bag and smashed it over, his eyelids were scratched by the hard object wrapped on it. Even though he went to the hospital to treat it, he still left a small scar.

He thought about the past nine years. She had never been willing to hit him even once, but ever since she broke up with him. . . She kept punching and kicking him again and again. In the past nine years, didn’t she always like him? Don’t tell him she doesn’t like him at all now?

The sirens of a car rang out from behind, and only then Julian came back to his senses did he realize that he had been distracted. He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped towards the company.

Once Julian and the old man left, there were only four people left in the ward. Daphne looked at Vivian who was beside her. She knew that the latter was not in good health right now, so she let her go home first. She then looked at Christian and Sarah. She knew that Christian had been waiting here the whole night. It would not make sense if he continued to watch.

“Christian, you and Sarah should also go back for now. I can just stay here alone.” She couldn’t help but shed tears after saying that.

Actually, Daphne wasn’t pretending. She was really afraid. Ethan had always been the spiritual pillar of the family. She was afraid that once he fell, Cooper Group and Cooper Family might collapse.

“No need! I will just guard here. Sarah, you and Aunt Daphne can go back.” Christian looked at his wife beside him. He felt a little heartache for his wife staying here, so it was better to let her go back.

“You’ve been here all night last night. Go back and sleep first. I’ll be fine here.” Sarah refused to leave. Christian’s legs were just got better. If his body continued to endure like this, she was worried that there would be problems with his legs.

“I’m fine. Am not I a soldier? In the past, I did so many pulling exercises for a few days and nights, but it was not a big deal. It was nothing to guard the bed. Go back with Aunt Daphne.” Christian looked at Sarah and smiled faintly. He understood her feelings for him.

After saying that, Christian looked at Daphne. “Aunt Daphne, you can go back with Sarah. I can take care of here. Father will not be able to wake up for the time being. Let’s go back first. Sarah, bring Aunt Daphne back. If there is anything, I will call you guys! “

Although she was his stepmother, Christian could tell that she still had feelings for his father.

Sarah knew that he was a person who would not easily compromise, so she walked over and said, “Aunt Daphne, I will help Christian tonight. Don’t worry too much. Your health is also very important. Let’s go back first. . . “

Daphne listened to Sarah’s words and was silent for a moment. She stood up and followed the latter out. When they walked to the door, she turned her head unwillingly and reminded Christian. “Christian, if anything happens, you must remember. Call me, understand?”

“Okay! I got it!”

After getting Christian’s affirmative answer, Daphne left the ward with Sarah and returned to Villa of Cooper Family. When the two of them walked into the villa, they saw Vivian sitting on the sofa with a salad plate in her arms.

When Vivian saw Daphne and Sarah walk in, she immediately put down the plate and ran over, intimately holding her mother-in-law’s arm.

“Mom, you don’t look well. Why don’t you go upstairs and rest? I will help you up.” Vivian said as she helped Daphne up the stairs.

Daphne originally did not have the mood to sit and chat in the living room, so she nodded and let her help her up the stairs. Just as she took two steps, she nervously looked at Vivian. “I can go up myself. Your body is not convenient, go to the sofa. . .” After saying that, she gently pushed her hand away.

“Aiya, Mom, I’m not staying in the hospital. I can still help you up. Let’s go!” Vivian insisted on sending her up but Daphne could not change her mind and felt that there was no big problem so she let her go.

The two of them went upstairs together and Sarah went to the sofa in the living room to accompany Benjamin and chat with him.

Vivian accompanied Daphne upstairs to the room and saw the latter getting on the bed. She helped her cover up the blanket and then turned around to leave the bedroom. She gently closed the door of the room.

When she walked to the staircase, she thought about this house. Except for herself, there was only Sarah and Benjamin downstairs. Since Christian and Julian were not there, shouldn’t she make good use of this opportunity?

She walked up to the third floor and made a few rounds in her bedroom. Thinking that Christian had already stood up, his relationship with Sarah would only become better and better in the future. She bit her lip and walked to the bedside to take her bag.

Inside was the abortion medicine that she had asked Lucas to get someone to buy, because she could not guarantee that her plan would succeed. So she made two preparations. She put the medicine away and called the maid at home to bring herself a glass of water, and not long after, the maid at home carried a cup of water upstairs.

“Lea, what are sister-in-law and grandpa doing?” Vivian took the water as if nothing had happened and looked at her as she slowly asked.

“Madam regimental commander is watering the flowers with grandpa in the yard.”

“Where is Uncle Garcia?”

“Uncle Garcia is also outside.”

“Is that so? What about Aunt Garcia and Hana?”

“They went out to buy groceries.”

“Are you the only one left now?”

“Yes!”

Vivian heard Lea’s words and her eyes slightly moved. She then instructed the latter, “Aiya, Lea, I really want to eat fish balls on the pedestrian street now. Can you help me buy some back?”

“If I go now, there will be no one at home to take care of you and grandpa.” Lea was somewhat in a dilemma because Aunt Garcia had repeatedly reminded her before she left that she must not casually

leave Villa of Cooper Family.

“It’s fine! It’s not like I am eight months or ten months pregnant. You can leave without worry. I really want to eat. You know if pregnant women can’t eat when they want to, the child’s eyes will become bloodshot when they give birth.”

“Of course! I read books on this every day. Can I be wrong? If I tell Madam about it, you’ll be in trouble. You have to know that mother especially treasures this grandson. Hurry up and go!”
