I quickly hid. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wondered. I didn’t see Jessica just now. Why is she here now? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard Jessica say, “my niece just wanted to jump. My mother is angry. She may really be dying.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this moment, I remembered what happened before. I picked up my cell phone and started recording. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew Jessica was making a fake will. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If grandma really died, I didn’t know what would happen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then Jessica mentioned the false will. She said that her shares and assets should not be too much, otherwise it was easy to be doubted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, I didn’t like Jessica or Marlin, but I hoped jessica got more property. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After she called and left, I went back to the inpatient department. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry was in the ICU. There was no one outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Neither Jessica nor marlin was here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Grandma was in a coma so they didn’t even want to pretend. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, Jessica came soon. She saw me and didn’t speak. She just waited outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought Sean was still in the hospital, so I left first to avoid the embarrassment when I met him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On Monday, the notice about the design competition was posted on a related website. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to call on everyone to sign up, the company made a mobilization during the meeting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Six decoration companies and several studios of the giant group would participate in the competition. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although at present there were only rules for preliminary contest and semi-final and no rules for final. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had a vague feeling that Sean would come to the final in person. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now I just wanted to be his ordinary employee and I didn’t want to have anything to do with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although the total bonus of this competition was up to one million and there would be a bonus as long as I got to the final and I wanted to participate a little bit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t decide to participate. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the end of the meeting, all my colleagues were discussing the design competition. I just went back to the company to continue my work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At lunch Chloe sat across from me and asked, “June, what are you going to do for the design competition?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will not take part in the competition.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I answered her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She blinked and looked at me in disbelief, “what? Don’t you take part?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But I heard that the highest bonus seems to be 400000 dollars! I thought the whole company would take part.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chloe still didn’t seem to believe it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up at her and gave a wry smile. “There are many talents in these companies and studios. I don’t think I’ll make it to the final even if I try my best.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chloe seemed to want to say something else, but she thought I had a point. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went to see Sherry every day after work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She woke up on Monday and went back to the general ward. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The operation was postponed to the weekend. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I arrived at the hospital early on the day of the operation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went into the ward. Sherry saw me and said happily, “June, you’re here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How are you today, grandma?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked around as I walked in. Sherry had been living in a flat. There was no one else in the room except Harry who was sitting next to Sherry’s bed with a porridge bowl. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Neither Marlin nor Jessica were here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry took a sip of porridge and took a deep breath. “I’m much better. The doctor examined me this morning.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, that’s good.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought Marlin and Jessica would come in a minute. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I stayed with Sherry in the ward for two hours without seeing them. Towards 10 o’clock a middle-aged doctor in a white coat came in. He introduced himself to Sherry, “Hello, my name is Dave. I’m your surgeon today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry said hello to the doctor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As they exchanged greetings, Dave asked Sherry about her eating habits and medical history. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When it was all over, he nodded and said to Sherry, “I see. I’ll get ready and let the nurse bring you there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was by Sherry’s side and holding her hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the doctor left, I could feel Sherry’s hands shaking a little. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as the doctor went out, she gave me an envelope and said, “June, give this to the doctor.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked down and opened it. It was a bank card. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew what she meant. I hurried out to catch up with Dave who was almost at the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called him to the stairwell door and handed him the envelope. “Dave, please take my grandmother’s operation seriously.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked at the envelope in my hand and looked around. He put it in his pocket. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He reassured me and then he left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went back and stayed with sherry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon the nurse came. She took Sherry’s temperature again and changed her bed and pushed her out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I followed her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry was lying in bed and holding my hand. She looked at me in embarrassment. “June, I know you’re wronged, but I can’t watch Molly jump.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Grandma, I know. It doesn’t matter.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t blame sherry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry sighed, “you’ve been wronged these years, and I don’t know if I can make it up to you…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Grandma, don’t think too much. There’s no difference between surgery and sleep.” I encouraged her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stopped by the nurse at the door of the operating room. The nurse had to push Sherry’s bed into the operating room, but Sherry kept holding my hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I leaned over and hugged Sherry. “Don’t worry, grandma. I’ll be waiting for you outside.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry just let go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No sooner had Sherry entered than the light in the operating room came on. I sat at the door and was very anxious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
About two hours later, Jessica came. Another hour later Marlin came. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They just sat at the door for a few minutes and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat at the door until after two o’clock at noon. It was almost five hours since Sherry got in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the operation was not over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had been hungry for a long time. I stood up to go out to eat, but I saw a nurse rush at me and shout, “get out of the way!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hurried back. I saw the nurse holding a plate with bags of blood on it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She rushed directly to the operating room not far away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The door of the operating room opened a little. A nurse was waiting inside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She caught the plate and closed the door. I rushed to the nurse who was delivering the blood and asked, “how is my grandma’s operation?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
