Chapter 356

356 You Don’t Know It

“Last night, Joseph came back to drink and said that you and Cedric were in a relationship. Joseph also said that you would never come back again. Grandpa was so angry after hearing that, and he suddenly had a heart attack...” Angelina burst into tears.

“How is Grandpa now? How is he now?” Isabella cried in fear.

“Fortunately, he woke up after a night of emergency treatment. But he has been calling your name. He wants to see you...

“Isabella, the doctor said that grandpa was in a very bad condition!” Angelina covered her eyes.

The Peace City Hospital, VIP ward.

Isabella quickly ran into the ward. When Isabella saw Charlie with the electrocardiograph, she cried and rushed over, “Grandpa! Isabella is here! Grandpa!”

Joseph, who was standing at the side, saw Isabella appear, and his dark eyes moved.

“Isabella...”

When Charlie heard Isabella’s voice, he slowly opened his eyes. When Charlie saw Isabella, he revealed a pale smile and said weakly, “You are finally here, Isabella...”

.....

“I’m sorry, grandpa!”

Isabella had lived in other people’s homes since she was young. Isabella had spent a month in the Wilson Manor, and that was the happiest and the liveliest time Isabella had ever experienced in her life. During that month, Isabella received endless support and favor from Charlie. It made Isabella feel like she was living like a little princess.

Although there was no blood relationship between Isabella and Charlie, Isabella liked Charlie very much. Although Isabella and Charlie had only lived together for a month, Isabella really respected Charlie as if Charlie was her biological grandfather.

Isabella knew Charlie’s elegance, kindness, and dominance.

Charlie doted on Isabella. He taught Isabella how to paint, bought Isabella delicious food, and helped Isabella teach Joseph a lesson.

Isabella sobbed. Charlie was the last person that Isabella wanted to hurt. Isabella really didn’t expect that her own affair would alarm Charlie and make Charlie sad.

Charlie said in a weak voice, “Isabella, don’t cry.”

Charlie reached out his hand to wipe Isabella’s tears. He said slowly and weakly, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. But I really miss you ... I miss the days when you and Joseph were together ... Joseph has had a bad temper since his childhood. He is stubborn and annoying, and he doesn’t know how to be considerate of others ... Promise me ... No matter what trouble Joseph has made this time, you will forgive him. Give him a chance to make it up, OK? He doesn’t know how to express himself, but I know he really loves you...”

“OK! I promise you!” Isabella nodded hard.

Isabella held Charlie’s hand and said in tears, “Grandpa, don’t worry. Whatever you say, I’ll agree. So, you must be fine.”

Standing aside, Joseph raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“Joseph.”

Charlie gave Joseph a look, and he reached his hand toward Joseph. Joseph immediately bent down and said with a sad expression, “Grandpa...”

“Apologize to Isabella properly...” Charlie said weakly.

Charlie put Joseph and Isabella’s hands together, and he said, “Don’t make Isabella sad anymore ... Restrain yourself and hold back your temper. You two will have to live together and support each other for a lifetime in the future...”

Joseph nodded, “Don’t worry, grandpa.”

Charlie kept saying, “I hope to see your sincerity before I completely close my eyes...”

Charlie paused and breathed heavily. Then, he continued to say in a hoarse voice, “I don’t have much time left, but I still want to see your grand wedding. I also want to have a great-grandson to play with...”

Joseph said painfully, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will take Isabella to get the marriage certificate right away!”

Isabella was stunned.

Joseph stood up and pulled Isabella. His eyes were filled with endless sorrow. Joseph said, “Isabella, let’s go now. Don’t let grandpa wait!”

“OK...”

Isabella was dragged a few steps, but she suddenly remembered something. She stopped and said, “Wait a minute.”

Joseph was stunned. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

“There is a cockroach next to grandpa’s pillow. I’ll help him catch it before leaving,” Isabella said calmly.

“What? A Cockroach!”

Almost at the same time as Isabella finished speaking, Charlie, who was on the bed, bounced up and said in horror, “William! William, come here! There are cockroaches on my bed!”

Isabella stared blankly at the energetic Charlie.

Angelina covered her mouth in shock, and Joseph’s face changed completely.

After Charlie realized that he had overreacted, he turned to look at Isabella and smiled awkwardly, “Isabella, you know that I’m really afraid of cockroaches. I...”

Before Charlie finished his words, he rolled his eyes and fell back to the bed.

William pretended to be worried and called for doctors and nurses to come in for emergency treatment. Isabella walked out of the ward with a straight face. Isabella said, “I’m relieved to see that grandpa is fine. I still have a scene to play today. I need to go now.”

Angelina wanted to explain, but William stopped her and shook his head.

Joseph took a step forward and grabbed Isabella’s hand in the corridor. He said to Isabella, “Isabella, are you still unwilling to forgive me?”

Isabella chuckled, “All of you tried to make me cry sadly ... Is it fun?”

Isabella shook off Joseph’s hand and wiped her tears. She yelled at Joseph, “Do you know how sad and guilty I was just now? I thought I was the one who made grandpa lie in the ward. Joseph, why are you so despicable? How could you use grandpa to conquer me?”

Joseph shouted back, “Because Cedric has arranged a lot of bodyguards downstairs. He has been with you since last night, and I couldn’t find a chance to contact you.

“I had no choice but to do such a despicable thing to meet you. Besides, grandpa really misses you.”

Isabella nodded and said, “OK. No matter what, let grandpa take good care of himself. I’ll leave now.”

“Isabella...”

Isabella turned around. Joseph didn’t pull Isabella back again. Instead, he hugged Isabella from behind.

At that moment, Isabella felt her heart just lose a beat.

Joseph said in a low voice, “You asked me for help when you were afraid at that time, but I hung up on you. You must be very angry.”

Joseph hugged Isabella tightly and said in a hoarse voice, “Do you think that I will no longer care about you after I have Stella?”

Tears fell down Isabella’s face.

Joseph kept saying, “I have done the investigation. I know everything. It was all my fault...”

Joseph kissed Isabella’s long hair from behind. He said, “I know it. I know you have called me. But Stella didn’t know anything. Stella thought that you were willful. She thought you just wanted to keep me busy in the middle of the night, so she hung up the phone ... Isabella, I will handle this matter seriously. Please forgive my stupidity and dullness. Please forgive my self-righteousness...”

Isabella suddenly burst into tears and pushed Joseph away. She shouted, “No! You don’t know it! You don’t know everything! I clearly said ‘help me’, but you still sent me a text message saying that you were asleep. You asked me not to call you again! At that time, those bad guys were walking back and forth a few hundred meters away from me! They scolded me and threatened me, plotting how to deal with me! They were trying to kill me from my body to my soul! I trembled with fear. I hoped that you could save my life like a hero. But when I saw that message, I felt like my whole world was about to collapse!”

Isabella turned around and hit Joseph on the shoulder. She yelled in tears, “When I was at my most desperate and helpless time, I didn’t even believe the police. I only believed in you because you were my fiancé! But what have you done to me? You told me not to call you again! You told me not to disturb you because you wanted to sleep! Am I that humble? My life was less worthy than you and your sweetheart’s sleep condition!”
