UNTOLD SECRETS

chapter-8

Subhasini panicked at once, and she went downstairs before running out in a hurry. The servants were about to stop her, but Amber stopped them from doing so since she thought that Subhasini had run away in a fit of pique after being irritated by the scene of Kousini and Ryan getting along. She said, “Ignore her. It’s good that she’s leaving! Uhh what a headache.”

On the other hand, Subhasini took a taxi to the hospital downtown. Fortunately, her grandmother was already out of danger. A new resident doctor of internal medicine had operated on her.

Lying on the sickbed with her eyes closed was a gray-haired old woman whose faint breath proved that she was still alive. Subhasini’s tears fell in drops as she kneeled before the sickbed while holding her grandmother’s hand. She didn’t cry when her father forced her to marry into the Evan Family, nor did she cry whenever Amber gave her a hard time or whenever the servants looked down on her. However, her grandmother, who had treated her most kindly, was the only thing who could tug at her heartstrings; she would break down if her emotional anchor collapsed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Subhasini looked back subconsciously and saw a young and handsome man in a white coat. “Hello. I’m Julian Walker, the patient’s chief surgeon. You must be the patient’s family. I need to talk to you about her condition.”

Subhasini was grateful to the doctor who had helped her grandmother. She wiped her tears, made a few gestures, and gave him a sincerely grateful smile.

Julian was stunned by the lady’s smile. Her eyes, which had been washed with tears, were as extremely beautiful as the rainbow after the rain, her semi-dimpled smile reached to his heart. “Ahem, you’re welcome.”

He didn’t understand sign language, but he somehow understood what Subhasini meant. “The old madam’s condition is only stabilized for the time being, and she still needs to undergo another major surgery. In the meantime, please try your best to speak to her ear and spend more time with her. Soothe her emotions and tell her not to be agitated, it will be good for the surgery’s effects.”

Subhasini pursed her lips and nodded slightly. Since she knew that the doctor didn’t understand sign language, she merely listened quietly to him while smiling politely from time to time.

Julian felt very well-disposed towards this beautiful lady at first sight, so he made a special effort to tell her some safety precautions. Just as he was about to leave, Subhasini stopped him. She took a pen from her handbag, wrote an I owe you with her name and phone number on it, then handed the paper to him with both hands.

Julian looked at the beautiful handwriting on the 'I owe you', then at her fair and elegantly beautiful face. He shook his head with a smile and replied, “That won’t be necessary. Just take care of the patient, it will be more than enough. And report to me about her condition, if there is anything you want to know, you can ask me directly as well. Don't worry about finances.” He knew that the old woman’s granddaughter had financial difficulties at present, so he had no intention of taking it.

However, Subhasini didn’t agree and stubbornly shoved the 'I owe you' into Julian’s hand.

Julian turned her down repeatedly but failed, so he had no choice but to accept it. However, he now had a different understanding of this lady’s character and felt increasingly well-disposed towards her.

After he left, Subhasini breathed a sigh of relief with a clear conscience. Her grandmother had a tumor in her brain, but no one dared to operate on her since she was too old. She had been comatose for a long time, and a large amount of money was needed to keep her alive. Subhasini got to know from the nurse that the Johnson Family had stopped paying for her grandmother’s medical expenses. With no one paying the medical bills, her grandmother’s medication was naturally cut off, which was why her grandmother’s life had fallen in danger. If it weren’t for Julian’s help, her grandmother could have died today.

This showed how cruel Logan was. Not only did stealing the document cause her to offend Ryan, even her father stopped paying for her grandmother’s medical expenses.

Since that’s the case, why should I go back to the Evan Residence? Since Dad won’t pay for Grandma’s treatment, there’s no need for me to go back anymore, Subhasini thought to herself.

On the otherhand, in Evan's residence Ryan was trying to understand why did Kousini come there. But Kousini wasn't in a mood to let Ryan go that easily.
