Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 180

Effie knelt beside her grandmother, her hands trembling as she gripped the old woman’s wrinkled fingers. “Grandma, please don’t move. We’re taking you to the hospital right away.”

When she looked up, she saw Lyman already on the phone, calling for an ambulance.

Given her grandmother’s age, neither of them dared to move her on their own. It was safer to wait for the paramedics and let the professionals handle it.

The ambulance arrived quickly, doctors in tow. Effie’s grandmother was rushed to the hospital without delay.

As the doors to the emergency room swung closed behind her grandmother, Effie felt her heart twist with anxiety.

Lyman tried to comfort her. “She’s tough, Effie. She’ll pull through. Don’t worry.”

Effie nodded, guilt gnawing at her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she should have taken better care of her grandmother.

Noticing her worry, Lyman said gently, “When she’s better, let’s have her come live with us. That way, we can look after her properly.”

Effie sighed softly. “Grandma’s so stubborn, though. I doubt she’ll agree.”

She’d brought it up many times before, but her grandmother always refused. With her best friend living next door, she was even less willing to leave her home.

“It’s okay,” Lyman assured her. “We’ll talk to her again when she’s feeling better. And if she still doesn’t want to move, I can hire a live-in caregiver for her. It’s not a big deal—just a matter of money, and that’s something I have.”

Effie managed a small smile. With Lyman by her side, she felt a little more at ease.

Just then, the light above the emergency room door flicked off. The doctor emerged, pulling off his mask. “Your grandmother has a fractured ankle,” he explained. “We’ve put it in a cast, but because of her age, healing might take a while. She’ll need to stay in bed and rest for some time.”
