Chapter 259 Either crippled or paralyzed
After Kenny finished his words, he walked ahead. Gloria followed him step by step, staring at his back absent-mindedly. Suddenly, Kenny stopped. Gloria did stopped, too. At this time, Kenny uttered words leisurely: "Walk well." Gloria was startled and suspected that he had eyes on the back of his head. Kenny lifted his feet and took a half step forward, then turned around again, holding Gloria’s hand in her surprised eyes and continued to move forward.
Gloria looked at their crossed hands, froze for a while, and looked up at him. His chin became thinner. She couldn't help but ask him: "Did you sleep in the hospital these few days?" The two just walked up to the elevator. Kenny pressed the elevator and responded lightly: "Yes." Gloria then asked again: "Did you eat well?" Without speaking, Kenny gave her a cold glance as if she were annoying him.
The elevator doors opened and Gloria was taken into the elevator by Kenny. In the VIP ward where Grandpa Clarke stayed, the whole floor was vacated for the grandpa to recuperate. As soon as she got out of the elevator, Gloria saw that the corridor was full of bodyguards, but the rest of the Clarke families were not there. Kenny took Gloria straight to the old man's ward. "Grandpa is inside. Go in." Gloria pushed the door into the ward. This was the first time Gloria had visited him since the accident. On the snow-white hospital bed, old Mr. Clarke lay quietly, wearing an itchy gas mask, filled with tubes. Gloria approached, only to find that old Mr. Clarke's face was as pale as paper, his eye sockets were deep, and his face was wrinkled.
Richard Clarke was not an old man with a benevolent and kind countenance, always a dignified look, but when Gloria looked at him like this, she couldn't hold back her tears. Gloria sat down in front of the bed and whispered, "Grandpa?" The people on the bed didn't react at all. If it wasn't for the mist formed in the breath in the oxygen hood, Gloria almost thought Richard Clarke didn't seem to be alive. "Okay, come out." At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Kenny's voice came. Gloria looked up, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, and got up and walked outside the ward.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She closed the door of the ward and spoke to Kenny: "What did the doctor say?" Kenny didn't answer her question immediately, but looked at her quietly. He noticed a slight redness in her eyes and frowned, "They are not sure when Grandpa will wake up, and even if he wake up, it may not be the same as before." Gloria repeated in shock what he had just said: "may not be the same as before?" Kenny just looked at her expressionlessly, without explaining. It meant that Master Clarke may be disabled, may be paralyzed, and become an old man who can't take care of himself.
Gloria's complexion suddenly turned pale. She looked at Kenny but didn't know what to say to comfort him. A woman's voice suddenly came: "What are you doing here?" Gloria turned and saw Manley approaching this way. Manley's eyes were falling on Gloria, and it was obvious that Manley had just said to Gloria. Gloria pursed her lips and greeted, "Aunt." Manley's complexion was not very good, and she clearly rejected Gloria, but nodded and said, "Is Gloria okay these days?"
"I am fine, thank you." Gloria was a little disgusted with Manley like this. Manley clearly hated her, but still wanted to maintain superficial harmony with her. Manley asked again: "You come to see Grandpa?" Gloria said bluntly: "Yes." Manley's eyes flickered, seemingly kindly reminding: "You better avoid arousing suspicion during this time." "Why should I avoid arousing suspicion? Is there any problem with my visit?" Gloria's face was slightly restrained, and the whole person looked a little cold: "It should be the person who pushed grandpa downstairs becoming more guilty?" Not expecting her to be so open- minded, Manley froze for a moment, "That's also true."
Kenny suddenly said, "Auntie, are you still going in to see Grandpa?" Kenny's tone was not very good, it sounded a little impatient, and Manley didn't say more, just pushed the door into the ward. Gloria stared at the door for a few seconds, and Kenny had to call her before she recovered. "Gloria." "Huh?" "go back, or do you want to stay for lunch?" "Ah? No, I think..." Gloria paused, thinking of the night before Grandpa’s accident, when everyone was in the living room, Manley and Randy sneaked into another room.
Thinking of this, Gloria took Kenny and walked towards the elevator. But she didn't expect to meet Si Chengyu and other people at the elevator. He was followed by Leon and Kelly. They must come to see the old man from home. As soon as Leon saw Gloria, he happily called her: "Sister Gloria!" Gloria nodded slightly: "Leon." Then Leon said to Si Chengyu: "Cousin, go ahead." Si Chengyu hadn't said anything yet. But Kelly said in a voice dripping with sarcasm: "You dare to come to the hospital, don’t you really feel a little guilty?"
Leon turned his head and glared at Kelly: "What the hell are you talking about! There is no evidence to indicate that Grandpa was pushed by Gloria, the police have not found anything out there, and Gloria did nothing, Why should she be guilty!" "Leon, you..." Kelly felt ashamed, and she would have to refute, but Si Chengyu interrupted: "Kelly, let's go first." Kelly was obviously not willing: "Brother!" But Si Chengyu was firm, she couldn’t say more.
However, before leaving, Kelly said: "Cousin, our sister is already on the plane back home. After she comes back, can you explain well to her, hum!" sister? Gloria looked at Kenny for unknown reasons. Leon on the side was very insightful, secretly said to Gloria, "It's the cousin's twin sister." Kenny's twin sister? Gloria didn't know the situation of Clarke Family, and she didn't hear from anyone about it, so she didn't know that Kenny even had a twin sister at all.
This was not a place to talk. As soon as Si Chengyu and Kelly left, the three of them entered the elevator. when he entered the elevator, Leon asked Gloria with care: "Sister Gloria, are you okay these days? They all said it was you who pushed grandfather down, but I don't believe it."
