Chapter 179
Martha kept her head down, not daring to look at Rosemary, silently tending to Serena.
"How are your grandparents holding up lately?" Hunter asked after serving Rosemary some food, shifting his focus to his parents.
He’s been either busy with the company or rushing home to keep his sister company. It’s been a week since he got back, but he hadn’t checked on his grandparents yet.
"Your Grandma woke up once on the day of the award ceremony but then fell into a coma again,"
Louisa said with a heavy heart. "God knows when she’ll pull through."
"What caused it?" Rosemary asked coolly.
She heard their health wasn’t great, just like her other grandparents, who were getting on in years, but she never asked for specifics.
"Your grandparents both love to stay active. A month ago, they went mountain climbing. Grandma took a tumble, and Grandpa fell down a dozen steps trying to catch her. They both blacked out and were in a deep coma by the time they were rushed to the hospital."
Louisa could still picture the scene as if it had just happened.
"The CT scan showed that Grandma had a fractured skull and brain bruise, along with multiple broken bones. Grandpa’s condition was even worse. He broke several bones while protecting her. Fluid
accumulated in his left chest cavity, and there was intracranial hemorrhage. Both their lives were at risk."
