Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Grandma passed away

"I used to be taken care of by Lillian, but now, I can’t take care of her. Even you, I haven’t been filial to you. I am sorry."

"Vincent," Grace murmured as she slowly opened her eyes. "Is it you? Are you my Vincent?"

"Yes, I am Vincent. Are you awake? Do you feel better?" When Vincent saw that Grace was awake, he quickly wiped away his tears and grabbed the old lady’s trembling hand.

"Vincent, it’s good that you are willing to come back. I got to see you again before I die, so I won’t have any regrets before I leave," Grace said as she reached out with difficulty to touch Vincent’s face. "I am dying. I have been struggling to survive until now. I just wanted to see you one last time and entrust Stella to you."

Vincent’s face was full of tears. He just nodded without saying a word.

He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, his tears could not help falling out and he would cry out.

"At first, I always wanted to find a good man worthy of her trust to take care of her, but unfortunately, I didn’t find one. Now, I am entrusting your sister’s only child to you. You must find a good husband who will protect her, take care of her, and treat Adrian as his own...

"Mom, don’t worry. I will make sure she gets to live a happy life. I have helped her find a person with whom she can be with for the rest of her life. You can rest assured that she will not be wronged." Vincent turned his face secretly and wiped the tears from his eyes. "You should take good care of yourself. You will be healthy in the future, and you can also see Stella’s wedding..."

"I don’t have extravagant expectations for the wedding. I just hope that you will be happy and healthy. Don’t let me worry. Alright, I am tired. I want to sleep for a while."

"Mom, have a good rest. I will go out first." After that Vincent left the ward and sighed deeply.

When Grace went to sleep, it was unlikely that she would ever wake up again.

"Uncle," Stella called out to Vincent. "How is Grandma doing?"

"She was awake, but then she felt very sleepy and fell asleep again. Maybe... Maybe it will be soon." Vincent walked over to RK and sat down.

"How could it be? Grandma was fine when I came to see her last time. We are still chatting. We..." As Stella spoke, her voice gradually become weaker, and she finally become silent.

They all knew Grace would probably leave this time.

"Well, you can go back and rest. I will inform you if anything happens to her."

"No, I won’t leave. Grandma is still in danger. I can’t leave." Stella looked stubborn.

"It’s almost dawn. Let her stay till dawn." RK said tactfully.

Vincent didn’t say anything, which was a tacit admission.

The three of them stayed until dawn.

After daybreak, RK went downstairs to buy breakfast. Stella and Vincent were still sitting in the corridor. The sun shone into the corridor, and Stella walked into the ICU to take a look.

Grace’s breathing was very weak. Seeing that the equipment was all functioning normally, Stella breathed a sigh of relief.

Grace was still alright and she was lying in the bed.

"Grandma? Grandma, It’s time for breakfast." Stella’s tone was very tentative, for fear of scaring Grace.

"Hmm?" Grace opened her eyes with difficulty.

"Grandma, are you feeling better? Do you want some water?"

Grace nodded. Stella poured the glass of water from the side and fed it to her grandmother.

"Stella... Your uncle... is back... I... I can... leave with peace of mind..." Grace’s breathing was weak, and her words were short and intermittent.

"Grandma, don’t say that. You will live to be hundred years old, and you will surely get better," Stella said as her tears fell on her cheeks.

"Your Uncle will take good care of you... With him taking care of you, I will be at ease when I leave..."

"Don’t say that, Grandma." Stella tried hard to hold back her tears. "I don’t believe it. You were still healthy over the last few days. How can you suddenly fall seriously ill? I don’t believe that. You will surely recover."

"Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore... You... You... Be strong. Listen to me and don’t cry, okay..." Grace struggles to help Stella wipe away her tears. "I will take you to the countryside to catch fish and cool off next year..."

"Yes." Tears streamed down Stella’s cheeks as she looked at her grandmother and nodded.

"In the future, when I am not with you... You should take care of yourself and Adrian... Remember my words and find a good man worthy of you and who can take care of you... In this way, I can rest assured."

"Okay." Stella kept nodding.

"I am tired and I want to sleep for a while... You go out and have breakfast first." After that, Grace slowly closed her eyes.

When Stella walked out of the ward, she looked back.

Once Grace fell asleep, there would be almost no chance of her waking up again. Stella just took another look at her kind grandmother. She didn’t been able to stay with Grace well for so many years. Not long after she came back, Grace was going to leave. God always refused to give repentant people a chance.

Stella turned walked out of the ward, then closed the door.

Goodbye, Grandma.

At about 9.00 AM, when the line on the equipment went flat, Grace left peacefully. Vincent, RK, and Stella stood in front of her for a long time until her body become cold and hard.

"Grandma, take care," Stella murmured as she bowed deeply to her grandmother.

"Mom, take care." Vincent bowed to Grace.

"Grandma, take care" RK also bowed.
