Chapter 106: Justin’s Confession.
Just then, the doctor arrived, followed by his assistant doctor.
Natalie immediately stepped away from Justin, her face etched with worry. "How’s my grandpa?"
"Stay out of it," Sephina snapped, pushing her aside. She turned to the doctor. "How is Albert?"
Justin silently caught Natalie’s arm, steadying her as he chose to remain silent at this moment.
"Mr. Ford is stable and awake now, but there’s a complication," the doctor said, his expression tense.
"What happened?" Sephina demanded, while Natalie anxiously waited, her heart pounding in her chest.
"We need to perform a minor surgery on him, but he has refused," the doctor explained.
"Refused?" Sephina’s voice rose with anger as Natalie’s heart sank. Trembling, she clung to Justin, fear and guilt swirling inside her, convinced that this was somehow her fault. Her grandpa must have been truly disappointed in her.
"Yes. Mr. Ford stated that he doesn’t want to undergo any surgery and that he doesn’t care what happens to him..." the doctor continued gravely.
"I’ll talk to him myself!" Sephina declared, ready to go to the patient’s room, but the doctor’s words stopped her. "You can’t meet him, Mrs Ford."
"What do you mean?" she demanded furiously. "I’m his wife! You can’t keep me away from him!"
