Chapter 334 Tears of Joy.
Soon after, he entered the bathroom Phillipe's phone started ringing.
Abella knocked on the bathroom door, "Your phone has rung quite a few times. Should I bring it to you?"
It must be something urgent from the company, or they wouldn't persist like this. She thought.
"Just answer it for me," Phillipe's voice came from the shower.
"Me??" she asked surprised. That doesn't seem appropriate??
"If it's work-related, tell them to contact my secretary. If it's personal, you decide."
"…"
Abella picked up his phone and saw Mr. Bourbon was calling.
"Hello, Grandfather, it's me." Abella glanced towards the bathroom, intending to explain that Phillipe was showering, but not wanting to cause any misunderstandings…
To her surprise, Mr. Bourbon interrupted eagerly,
"You're with Phillipe? Oh my, how have you been finding the military training? Is it tough, exhausting? Is Grandpa Wilson taking good care of you? Has anyone been bullying you at school??"
Abella conjured up a smile, "Everything's been good."
"If anyone bullies you, you must tell Grandfather, and I'll sort them out! How's the school environment? Are you getting used to the food? If you're lacking anything, Grandfather will bring it to you personally!" he said.
"No need, everything's quite fine," said Abella, touched by Mr. Bourbon's concern for her.
"I'm glad to hear that, I'm glad you're not being bullied," Mr. Bourbon said with relief. "Oh, by the way, what's that rascal Phillipe up to? He hasn't answered any of my calls."
"He..." Abella glanced towards the bathroom direction, "went to use the restroom."
"Ah, so he's in the restroom. I was wondering..." Mr. Bourbon trailed off.
"Is there something urgent, Grandpa?" she asked.
"The best news ever! Your grandmother!!" Mr. Bourbon could hardly contain his excitement, "She has woken up a few times before, but each was so brief and if you called her, she'd respond, but not like today! Today completely took me by surprise!"
Mr. Bourbon was so thrilled he hurriedly shared the news with Abella,
"When I called her by her nickname, she responded, and she even called me by mine. She said she was thirsty, after I gave her water, she asked for the date and how long she had been sleeping!"
Although his wife had woken up a few times before, she had never initiated conversation with him – she had only showed a slight awareness before!
What happened today was beyond belief for Mr. Bourbon, he was overjoyed!
"She even asked where Phillipe was. I told her he had found his love and that she'd been sleeping for a long time, and that I'd given the necklace to that young lady. She said she wanted to meet you... When can you come over to visit her?"
"Is she awake now?" asked Abella gently.
"She's asleep at the moment, but I feel like she's waking up more frequently now, and staying awake for longer. Although she can't walk and needs to be fed like a child, we can communicate simply now..."
This was enough to send Mr. Bourbon into ecstasy!
The fact that she could wake up, interact consciously, and remember people - it was something Mr. Bourbon had not dared to even dream about before...
With a smile curling on her lips, Abella said, "As long as we keep up with the medication, she'll recover even better. Soon, you'll be helping her walk slowly, or perhaps she can use a walking cane, and eventually, she'll walk on her own."
Suddenly, Mr. Bourbon covered his face, crying with emotion.
Over the phone, Abella could hear his muffled sobs and couldn't help but speak out, "Grandpa..."
"If it hadn't been for you, I couldn't even imagine this day, something I dared not even dream of..." Mr. Bourbon said through tears, after crying for a while, he spoke again,
"Good child, thank you, I'm so glad we have you. You have saved me several times, and you saved your grandmother, our Bourbon family owes you so much..."
"Grandpa, please don't say that I'm also happy to be able to help, even if just a little." Abella consoled him.
This was what she should do.
"You're the only granddaughter-in-law I, Mr. Bourbon, will recognize in this lifetime! No one can replace you! If that rascal Phillipe dares to do anything to hurt you, I'll break his legs myself! How did we, the Bourbon family, ever get so lucky to have such a beautiful and smart daughter-in-law…"
Mr. Bourbon's voice was tinged with weeping.
Abella couldn't help but chuckle, "Dry your tears, we'll come over in a bit."
"Ah, good, that's wonderful…" Mr. Bourbon quickly wiped away his tears, his voice unable to hide his joy.
At that moment, Phillipe, who had just come out from bathing, wrapped his arms around the little lady from behind, "Grandpa's call?" he asked.
He heard the last part of the conversation and guessed it was grandfather on the other end.
"Yep, grandma woke up, shall we go see her later?" Abella suggested.
"Sure."
"Do you want to say a few words to grandpa?" Abella handed him the phone.
But Phillipe's hands stayed warmly around Abella, he buried his head in her neck, taking in her scent, "No need, hang up."
After all, they would see him soon, everything could be said later...
Mr. Bourbon, who had been on the verge of tears, suddenly felt a rush of irritation when he heard his grandson's words. This ungrateful brat, forgetting his grandfather the moment he has a wife, not even bothering with a phone call, hmph! He didn't want to chat with this rascal anyway!
"Abella, make the trip over specially, and have dinner here with grandpa tonight." Mr. Bourbon said.
"Alright, see you in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Phillipe's lips found Abella's again, seemingly never-ending…
When they went downstairs, Wyatt hurriedly bowed, "Sir, Madam…"
That was fast?? It had only been half an hour, and the Mister had even finished bathing; isn't that a bit too quick?
It shouldn't be...
"We won't be eating here tonight, tell Rufus not to prepare our portion." Although Phillipe sensed the surprise and bewilderment in Wyatt's eyes, he didn't give it much thought.
"Yes, sir."
Watching Phillipe leave hand-in-hand with Abella, Wyatt went to the garden to inform Rufus, who was also confused. The Mister left already?? That was quick??
The secretary, who was playing games in the car, suddenly heard someone knocking on the window and looked up, nearly dropping his phone.
"Mr. Bourbon, you, how come…"
Having gone in for less than half an hour, not expecting Mr. Bourbon to appear so vigorous and robust, that was really quick...
Poor Abella, what a life...
"What are you looking at? Unlock the door," Phillipe was unaware of his thoughts.
"Oh, right…" The secretary hurriedly pressed the unlock button, Phillipe opened the door and let Abella get into the car first, following her and then said, "To River Park."
"Now?? Yes, right away." The secretary said.
Could it be that something has happened to the old master?
"Grandma woke up." Phillipe answered.
"Oh..." So that was it! The secretary thought. The secretary hurriedly started the engine.
Phillipe lifted Abella onto his lap once more, regretting that their romantic candlelit dinner planned for this evening, followed by fireworks, would have to be postponed.
"What does Grandma like best?"
In the car, Abella suddenly said, "It doesn't seem right to go empty-handed without a gift..."
