Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Awakening, the Pain of the Wound is Unbearable

The doctor snapped out of it, looking at Emily Walker on the hospital bed and then his gaze returned to Zachary Stuart’s face, “Master Stuart, Young Madam’s life is no longer in any danger. I believe she will gradually wake up in a few hours.”

“However, the wound on Young Madam’s back is very deep. Once she fully regains consciousness, she may experience some unbearable pain.” Having said that, Dr. Beckham’s line of sight shifted to Baron Stuart beside the hospital bed.

Ever since Baron Stuart insisted on entering the emergency room, Dr. Beckham seemed to have realized how important this girl was to Baron Stuart.

After the doctor left, Bella Stuart and Vivian Ferguson still looked dazed, staring blankly at Zachary Stuart.

Zachary Stuart turned his head and immediately met the shocked gazes of the mother and daughter duo, “Why are you looking at me?”

The two of them exchanged glances, seeming to want to confirm whether they had misheard just now.

But obviously, they hadn’t misheard.

Then…

“Grandpa, what did you just say?” Bella Stuart looked at her own grandfather with her bright, watery eyes as if to figure out if he had just referred to Emily Walker as his granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing her unbelieving expression, Zachary Stuart glanced at her and, calling her by that title for the first time, seemed somewhat embarrassed, so he coughed lightly, “What can I say? She’s my granddaughter-in-law. *cough* I… well, I’ll go first.”

As a man, he didn’t like others to see his vulnerable side in Burma. Now that he had confirmed that the person on the hospital bed was no longer in any danger, Zachary Stuart naturally felt relieved.

He didn’t think staying here would be helpful. So, he decided to give the space to the younger generation.

Upon reaching the front door, he suddenly turned back, “If she wakes up, remember to let me know.”

Having said that, his face looking unnatural, he blinked his eyelids and left the hospital.

Mother and daughter exchanged another glance, and Bella Stuart quickly grinned.

Since her grandfather had already accepted Emily Walker, did that mean she could move into their home in the future?

At this time, Vivian Ferguson had the same thought in her mind.

Ever since Skyler Stuart’s death, her only wish was for her children to stay by her side. Since Bella Stuart would eventually get married, she had always wanted Zachary Stuart and Emily Walker to move in with them so she wouldn’t feel lonely.

It would be even better to have a grandson or granddaughter soon. As long as she could have a grandchild, she would be satisfied even if the couple wanted to have their own world.

.

Finally, at 7 PM, Emily Walker gradually regained consciousness.

Her brows furrowed, she looked very pained, and couldn’t help but let out a groan, “Uhm–”

Seeing her slowly wake up, with her eyebrows tightly knitted, Baron Stuart knew it was the pain from the wound on her back that was hard for her to bear.

“She’s awake!” Bella Stuart on the side was holding her breath, quietly watching Emily Walker open her eyes on the hospital bed.

Although the doctor said that she was no longer in any life-threatening danger, they couldn’t help but worry since she hadn’t woken up yet. Now that she was awake, Bella Stuart naturally felt relieved.

Emily Walker’s face was still pale and weak at this time, especially her shoulder at the back, which hurt so much.

“Pain…” She mumbled, seemingly not fully awake yet, and inadvertently blurted out a word.

Zachary Stuart beside her also had a furrowed brow.

He knew how unbearable a gunshot wound could be for a woman.
