Chapter 167 Only a Few Days Left
Two days later.
Abella followed Phillipe to River Park to visit her grandfather, hearing that her grandmother had also moved back.
In the past, Mr. Bourbon's health was not good, always busy taking care of himself and frequently staying in the hospital. Therefore, Grandma was sent to a high-level medical institution where there were professional doctors and nurses guarding her 24 hours a day, as well as a group of renowned doctors making efforts to improve her condition.
Now, those renowned doctors have exhausted their lifelong knowledge and yet, her grandfather's health has also recovered. Thus, they brought Grandma back and took care of her personally.
The butler brought a bowl of Chinese medicine, "Sir, please drink the medicine first."
"Take it away!" Mr. Bourbon frowned, looking repulsed, "Abella will be here soon. If I have the taste of bitter medicine in my mouth, how can I talk to her?"
Just then, a servant loudly reported, "Sir, the young master and young mistress have arrived!"
Phillipe was seen walking into the courtyard hand in hand with Abella, and Mr. Bourbon suddenly became elated, "Darling granddaughter-in-law, you've finally come to see me!"
He completely ignored the tall and handsome Phillipe beside her.
"Grandfather." Abella smiled and greeted the butler who was standing by, "Mr. Scott, is the medicine ready?"
"Yes, young mistress." The butler smiled respectfully, thinking to himself, "Sir, let's see how you handle this now."
Abella took the bowl and naturally placed it in front of Mr. Bourbon, "Grandfather, the medicine should be drunk while it's hot. I see that your spirits are much better today compared to before."
"You're right, you're right. It's all thanks to your well-prescribed medicine. Lately, every time I wake up, I feel refreshed and invigorated! I was just about to drink my medicine, but that Scott distracted me and I momentarily forgot!"
Mr. Bourbon hurriedly took the bowl, pretending it was no big deal, "I'm very conscientious about taking my medicine."
The servants on the side: ?
Who was the person crying and refusing to take medicine every day?
And who is the person behaving well in front of the young mistress now?
Mr. Bourbon drank the medicine in one gulp and arrogantly asked, "Why is there only half a bowl today? Is there more in the kitchen?"
The butler couldn't help but suppress a laugh, "Half a bowl is enough, Sir. I will go fetch some sugar and dessert for you. You and the young master and young mistress can sit for a while."
"Hurry, hurry." After dismissing the butler, Mr. Bourbon warmly said, "Abella, come over here. Have you been busy lately?"
Abella sat down, "Not busy."
"Has this brat been bullying you? If he has, Grandfather will take care of it for you."
"He's been good." Abella glanced at Phillipe, from the time they met until now, he has taken care of her in every way.
"Really?" Mr. Bourbon asked skeptically, "If there's anything he doesn't do well, you must tell Grandfather and I'll support you."
Mr. Bourbon then looked at his grandson, "You, brat, you better treat Abella even better. Don't let some more outstanding and younger guy surpass you.
"Regret comes too late!"
"Abella likes older people," Philippe sat down and asked softly, "Where is Grandma?"
"She just finished sunbathing and the maidservant took her to change clothes. Why hasn't she come back yet?"
At that moment, the butler brought in tea and snacks.
"Go and invite Granny Bourbon," Philippe hurriedly said.
The butler personally pushed Granny Bourbon out of the inner room.
The kind and gentle old woman was dressed luxuriously, radiating an elegant atmosphere from head to toe while sitting motionless in a wheelchair.
It was clear that she was well taken care of as every strand of hair was neatly combed, nails carefully trimmed, and even her attire followed her previous habits.
If she could move and speak, she would undoubtedly be a benevolent and gentle grandmother.
"Spouse, our daughter-in-law has come to see you!" Mr. Bourbon held his wife's hand and introduced with a smile, "This is Abella that I often mention to you. Isn't she beautiful? Not only is she beautiful, but she also plays the piano and saves lives. This lucky boy truly has good fortune to find such an outstanding partner like Abella."
I heard that Abella is also a piano master, Anika Moses!
Abella looked at the kind old woman and said gently, "Hello, Grandma, I'm Abella. It's nice to meet you."
She touched the necklace on her neck and said, "Thank you for the gift you gave me. I really like it."
She then took out another gift and said, "This is for you."
"What is this?" Mr. Bourbon took it on behalf of his wife, opened it, and saw a beautiful jade bracelet.
Last time, Abella had recorded a high-quality jade for Grandma Wilson and personally designed two bracelets, one as a birthday gift for Grandma Wilson and the other as a meeting gift for Granny Bourbon.
"This is an excellent jade... the design is also very unique. It's an expense, an expense," Mr. Bourbon placed it in front of his wife, "take a look, it's so beautiful. I'll put it on for you."
He carefully put the bracelet on his wife's wrist, saying, "If you were able to respond, you would be thrilled and hug Abella tightly..."
Unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do about this illness.
Although she can blink and breathe, her other symptoms are completely similar to that of a vegetative state.
Phillipe didn't know when Abella prepared the meeting gift for his grandmother or that it was such an expensive jade. In addition to being moved, he also felt sorry for her expense.
Before, some young ladies had tried various ways to find their grandfather in the name of visiting his wife, but the gifts they bought were all intended to please him. In their subconscious minds, a vegetative person did not need gifts.
Even if they did prepare them, it would be a waste.
But Abella treated her grandmother as a living person rather than a plant, genuinely respecting and treating her from the heart.
That's what makes her different.
Abella held her grandmother's wrist, "Grandma, when you get better, let's go outside together..."
"Play, eat, go shopping, or take a trip together and see the world outside."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bourbon felt a tinge of emotion, turned his face away, and quickly held back the warmth in his eyes.
Phillipe reached out and gently patted his back, as if comforting him.
Abella had finished taking the pulse and withdrew her hand, knowing fully well what was going on. "I believe that day will come soon."
As Phillipe had mentioned before, Grandma had indeed suffered a brain injury.
A long time ago, she had treated a difficult case where the patient had turned into a vegetative state due to a brain injury.
Although the patient was eventually cured, it required a combination of many medicines, some of which were extremely rare and difficult to obtain.
Some were even located in the Triangle Area outside of the border, a place where one's life was put at risk to retrieve them.
However, the difference between Grandma and the previous patient was that her life was only left with a few days.
Abella had noticed this during the diagnosis just now!
But Abella didn't mention it and planned to think of a solution later.
Speaking out now would only cause them anxiety and sadness, without any help...
On the way back to Long Island Manor after accompanying Grandpa and Grandma, Phillipe asked softly, "Did you figure out what the problem is?"
