Chapter 266

"Uncle, how is Grandpa? Is he...?" Evangeline could not finish her sentence, her voice choked by tears.

Cole was more delicate than anyone knew, and even though Dr. George had worked wonders, his health was still a house of cards, propped up by his unshakably positive attitude.

With the shock of his beloved granddaughter's divorce, a marriage that had been rocky from the start, what would he think? Evangeline could not bear to think about it.

The voice on the other end of the line was like a sledgehammer to her heart.

"He's in critical condition. Dr. George is doing everything he can. You need to get to the hospital... now."

'Grandpa… Oh, grandpa, please be okay!'

He was the one who had always been there for her, the one who loved her most. What would she do if he were gone?

'Stay strong... You have to stay strong!' prayed Evangeline internally.

Tears streamed down Evangeline's face, the world around her fading away. She started the car on autopilot and raced to the hospital.
