Chapter 148 Staying in the Hospital to Take Care of Carley
Walter shook his head, “It’s still unclear.” On his usually calm face, even though he was restraining
himself well, the tense expression still revealed his worry.
“Roy will come by to take you home in a bit, be careful on the road,” Walter said, handing me the bag of
medicine. Worried about Carley’s condition, he stepped out of the hospital.
Upon seeing this, I followed him, catching up with him in a light jog and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Walter glanced at me and paused, not saying much. He gave a slight nod, which could be considered
as an acknowledgement.
On the car, there was silence all the way. Compared to the morning, the silence in the car at this
moment seemed much more oppressive and heavy.
Thirty minutes later.
Walter and I hurried to the hospital where Carley was, just arriving outside the emergency room, we
saw Dale and the younger members of the Hinton family all waiting outside.
Seeing Walter rushing over, everyone looked up.
Walter looked at Dale, anxiously asking, “How is the person?”
Dale furrowed his brow, his face full of worry as he said, “They’re still trying to save them.”

Looking at the emergency room door flashing with red lights, Walter’s eyes were very deep, and his
brows were exceptionally furrowed.
I glanced at the younger members of the Hinton family, all sitting anxiously on the side benches, their
faces filled with worry.
I pursed my lips slightly, looking at Dale and asked, “What on earth happened to Dale? How could my
perfectly fine grandmother fall from the attic?”
With a face full of guilt, Dale sighed and blamed himself, “It was my momentary negligence. Carley got
up early this morning, saying that the weather was good today and she wanted to go to the attic to
watch the sunrise. Considering that River City had been cold and gloomy for more than half a month,
and it was finally sunny, I agreed and accompanied Carley to the attic to watch the sunrise and breathe
some fresh air. After I took Carley up, she told me to go about my business and said that she would be
fine for a few hours. I didn’t think much about it at the time, so I went to do other things, planning to pick
her up after she finished watching the sunrise. But when I went to get her, she had already fallen from
the attic and passed out.”
After speaking, Dale’s aged eyes were moist, filled with guilt and self- reproach.
I pursed my lips, refrained from asking more, gently soothed Dale with a few words, and then quietly
waited outside the emergency room.
Carley had aged, and although he looked robust in his daily life, the thing he feared most was falling.
Once an accident occurred, other problems would follow one after another.
About two hours later, the operating room door was opened, and a doctor in a white coat came out.
Before he could speak, the younger members of the Hinton family rushed up to him, asking about
Carley’s condition.

The doctor looked around, his face slightly serious, and said, “The patient is currently not in life-
threatening condition, but the situation is not very optimistic. Because of her old age, there is a slight
internal bleeding. Her age is too old, the risk of surgery is too high, so we can only use drugs to
stabilize her condition. Next, we need to continue observing her in the ICU. Family members don’t need
to crowd here, just leave one or two to stay here.”
After speaking, the doctor removed his gloves and left.
Upon seeing this, Dale glanced at Walter, seemingly asking him how to arrange things.
Walter’s gaze was drawn away from the closed resuscitation room, and he gave a few orders. The
Hinton family didn’t have many direct descendants, apart from the children of two uncles, there were no
others. Among the uncles of the Hinton family, only Uncle Two had a son, William. Because he married
early, William was only a few years older than Walter, so he was considered the eldest brother in the NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

But Carley had always cared for, Walter since they were young. When Carley was too busy to handle
the affairs of the Hinton family, it was naturally Walter who took care of them. Now that something had
happened to Carley, it was only natural that Walter was the one arranging everything for the Hinton
family.
After celebrating Carley’s birthday last time he was back in the country, William went abroad again to
manage the assets of the Hinton family, and couldn’t return for a while. The only ones left in River City
were the two uncles and aunts of the Hinton family and his own. daughter-in-law.
William’s mother was in poor health. Although she usually lived in the old house, she mostly stayed in
her own yard due to her illness. If it hadn’t been for Carley’s sudden incident, she wouldn’t have

As for the Hinton family’s third uncle, due to health issues, he had been relying on medication for the
past few years. His wife also left for another country with their child a couple of years ago
Such a large family, but in the end, the only ones who could spare the time to take care of Carley were
naturally just the two younger generations, Walter and William.
