"Isla, that is a downright dirty accusation. Grandma has been so kind to me. Why would I want to hurt her? What's more, I am sure everyone here knows what I am doing here today. Why would I do such a thing?" Becky asked furiously.
"It is because..." Isla was at a loss for words and she did not know how to explain it. Perhaps... Would they believe her if she explained it clearly?
"What is wrong? What is going on here?" When Aron arrived, he found many people gathering around. He squeezed through the crowd and found his grandmother on the floor with a lot of blood. Aron rushed toward Joanna and held her tight, "Grandma! Wake up! Hey! Grandma, wake up! What happened to her?" Aron asked, bewildered.
"Aron..." Becky cautiously stepped towards Aron and said in a low voice, "I have called the ambulance. Grandma will be fine. Don't worry."
"What happened to her? Tell me!" Aron's eyes turned red at what he saw. His grandparents were his only family left. And he was determined to take good care of them, but now... "Who brought her here? Who brought my grandma here?"
"It's me. I am sorry, Aron. I didn't mean to." Becky replied while lowering her head. She dared not look at Aron in the eye. "Grandma gave me a call this morning and she said that she wanted to meet my cousin, Isla. I also tried to convince her not to come here, but you know that grandma is so stubborn that I couldn't stop her. I had no choice but come with her. But I didn't expect that..."
Becky stopped a bit then continued, "I didn't expect Isla to have such a temper. And she had a fight with grandma. She pushed grandma during the fight and then..." Becky tried hard to explain.
"Aron, I..." Isla was in a panic. She was genuinely concerned about Aron's grandma and she was also worried about what Aron would think of her. She feared that Aron wouldn't understand and that he would never trust her.
"Aron, let's look into that later. We have to get grandma to the hospital now." Becky told Aron. But as she spoke those words, Becky hoped that Joanna would not wake up anymore.
Aron lifted his grandma and rushed her to the hospital without taking a glance at Isla. Becky went with him.
As soon as they left, th
se he loved her so much.
But he dared not do that if his grandpa was there.
"No. We can't do this. If grandpa finds out the truth, I will be a dead duck." Her conscience is now killing her. But she can do nothing now to fix the situation.
"Becky, calm down. Listen to me." Mandy put her hand on Becky's shoulder to calm her down. "As long as Joanna doesn't wake up, then no one would know about this. So we have to take our chances and just wait and see. Maybe we'll get lucky."
Mandy believed that her daughter had advantages over Isla, because if Isla was destined to get married to Aron, it would have already happened four years ago.
Becky was finally calm with her mother beside her. "Mom, then what should we do next?" She asked.
"Next..." Mandy sneered and said, "We have to split up since we have different tasks. I will go and pick up Aron's grandfather. You stay here and keep Aron company. But don't give yourself away. Try to come up with a plan. Perhaps Aron would be touched if he see how worried you are about his grandma."
"Ok, I got it. I know what I should do next." Becky gave a slight nod then went back to the door of the operating room. Mandy left shortly after. Aron was there but completely ignored her. He anxiously paced around the hall near the operating room.
When the operating room lights were turned off, Becky felt her heart almost jump out from her chest. Aron rushed over to Joanna while Becky just followed behind him.
