Chapter 174 - Grandpa is strict...

A woman in her late forties is sitting elegantly in her extravagant room. She is wearing white scrubs and looked like she just finished doing the surgery.

Despite of her baggy, tired eyes she looked so charming and young. Her blonde hair is tied up in messy bun and her glasses hid her sea green eyes which are now turning little red due to growing exhaustion. Regardless of how tired she looked the powerful vibe around her is enough to make the persons around her work according to her wishes.

She just came back after conducting the critical surgery , it almost took her twelve to thirteen hours to turn it success and no one thought that this patient whose living chance is only twenty percent would be able to become normal man. She indeed made a other miracle…

As soon as she entered her chambers to take some rest she is informed about Jean meeting Charles Wen. It should be around mid night in that country and what will be the reason for this sudden arrival there.

She frowned worriedly and quickly made a call to Charles after getting to know that Jean exited his clinic. She didn't beat around the bushes as she has another series of surgeries to attend.

"Charles" she greeted him casually.

"Missus" Charles greeted the her in politely. All his powerful and strong demeanor is no where to be seen.

She smiled sensing the fear in his voice, she still didn't understand why every one fears for her. Maybe because she is Valdez or it might be because they respect her…

"How is young miss. Charles, I got to know she came to you at this night" though she likes to be normal while talking she still prefers to be dominant and cold, after all she is one of the Valdez and she has some standards to maintain…

"She is fine missus. She again got attacked with intense migraine and we are giving her the medicines you sent to us" Charles politely yet submissively answered her question

Migraine….again, it is supposed to be cured with the previous treatment Jean took but why did it start again all in sudden. As someone who knows about it very well she couldn't help but feel worried, migraine only gets worse if it started again… if something happens to Jean….she shook her head trying to prevent her negative thoughts

"Charles, I am warning you again. Never forget who she is. If anything happens to her" she couldn't complete it as she listened him shudder. She knows that Charles has been taking good care of Jean right from the time she got admission in this university.

"Missus I am comparing her reports with-" before he could complete….

"Charles I will meet you when I will visit. Right now I has to attend some other work" she cut the call all in sudden.

As soon as she cut the call her room's door got opened and other woman in her early sixties entered the room. She is wearing white scrubs just like her and has same blond hair and sea green eyes.

Though she is old her fashion sense resembled to middle aged women. She has kind and loving smile as she looked at woman sitting in front of her.

"Maria I listened your surgery became success. Congrats honey" old woman smiled graciously at her daughter.

"Thank you mother. It's been complicated but I managed it well. How's your surgery, did it go well" Maria smiled as she gave her mother some medicines to eat.

"Thanks, dear. It is a success. With whom are you talking in hushed voice Huhhh.. Is it your secret-" her mother teased as she winked at her glaring daughter.

"Shut up mom. It is just one of my subordinates, Charles. He is sixty years old and just of your age, you might" she suddenly yelped as her mother twisted her ear.

"Owww…mom. Sorry Huhhh.. Forgive your favorite person for once" Maria pleaded her mother and her lips are curved up totally enjoying her mother flushed face.

"My dear daughter do you want your father to get jealous and lash out his anger on you. I can tell him" her mother blackmailed.

"No, no mom. My father is still king of jealousy and I don't want to get allotted to series of surgeries for whole month again" she remembered how she got stuck in one of their hospital for whole month conducting at least two surgeries per a day just because she crossed her father rules.

"Good" her mother patted her head.

"Hello dear oldies, may I know what is happening here" a deep and playful male voice teased them.

He is in his early twenties and looked very handsome. He is having same sea green eyes but hazel hair and he is also wearing white scrubs just like them.

"Hey, I am not oldie" Maria whined and glared at the young man.

"OK.. OK, ladies then" he blabbered before kissing the old woman's cheek.

"No, call me lady and call her oldie. How about that" Maria bickered like a child.

Eyeing her mother

"My sweat heart here looks lot younger than you so, how about we swap the names" he rebuked and stuck his tongue out.

"OK.. OK, you both, Enough. We are in hospital not in home. What will happen if others see you like this, your reputation as cold and haughty persons will burn into ashes"

"Darling, I am missing home. When will we go back to our country, I miss my doggie" young man clutched his grannie.

"What are you, a child to miss your dog. We are here to help this people" Maria started her banter again.

"Huh.. Don't act too smart. You even sneak out of the house like a teenager and go to bar to drink just because grandpa don't allow us to drink. You even passed out that day" he rebuked.

"Jeff, you dare to utter this again I will open up all your secrets to your grandfather. You dare.." she taunted him…

"ENOUGH, I don't think you both know the consequences that well. If your father gets to know that you went to bar he will kill you. No drinking Rule number ten remember. " she glared at both of them.

"Darling, your grandson is innocent. Let this witch get punished and throw her into some university to teach the students so I can have you all for myself" Jeff made puppy eyes while blinking at his grandmother.

She patted his cheek gently and made him to lean on his shoulder. Jeff smirked at Maria whose face darkened into dangerous shades of black.

"Really Jeff, you are innocent Huh… I had seen you with a girl in one of the restaurant at that night I went to bar. You are near by the bar and you both looked pretty drunk" Maria smiled cunningly.

Jeff gulped his saliva and is about to rebuke again.

"Jeff, never do like this things. You both has to remember how strict your grandfather is. If he gets to know you crossed his rules you sure will be punished thoroughly. No girls, No drinking" his grandmother said gloomily as if she remembered something unpleasant and heart wrenching incident.

" I has other couple of operations to do. By tomorrow we will go back to our home. Have good day" she said sadly and exited the room.

Maria knows what triggered her mother's moodiness. If it isn't for her.. "Why is granny so sad. Why so sudden" Jeff pulled Maria sleeves and questioned her…

She gave him a sad smile and patted his shoulder before getting back to do the another heart surgery. Jeff stared at receding figure and rubbed his forehead and stared at the windows gloomily…
