Chapter 74
“Cough” Elizabeth was shocked. She choked on the strawberry and coughed until tears came out.
Andrew patted Elizabeth’s back as he took out a tissue and handed it to her. Andrew said perfunctorily to Benjamin, “Grandpa, why did you think of this?”
I’m old. I want to have a great–grandson. Benjamin didn’t beat around the bush.
Benjamin finally understood that if he didn’t say it, the two would continue to be perfunctory, and there would be a long time for him to have a great–grandson.
Andrew glanced at the silent Elizabeth and smiled. “We still have to prepare for pregnancy for a period of time and adjust our bodies to the best state before…
“How long is that?” Benjamin interrupted Andrew. “Give me some time. I’ll help you find doctors and help you recuperate.”
“Grandpa, it’s better to let nature take its course. Giving birth isn’t like manufacturing robots. How can I force you to get one now?” Andrew joked.
Elizabeth’s head sank even lower.
Benjamin looked at Andrew, who had been looking for excuses all te time, and Elizabeth, who had been silent the whole time. He sneered, raised his walking stick, and ruthlessly poked the ground.
“When? I want you to tell me the exact time now!
“Look at the two of you. You ignored each other when you were eating. Now, you’re sitting so far away from each other. while eating fruit. You told me that the two of you will naturally give birth to a child. But who would believe you?
“Let me tell you, Andrew. I’m old and can’t wait much longer. I have to see my great–grandson now! Don’t find any excuse
to brush me off.”
Benjamin’s sudden anger scared Elizabeth. She looked up nervously and was about to explain when Andrew grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard.
“Grandpa, don’t lose your temper. You scared Liz”
Andrew sighed and took all the responsibility. It’s my problem.
“I’m not ready to be a father. I just got married and want to spend a few years alone with Liz.
“Besides, there are a lot of things to do in the company now. Even if I have a child, I can’t care about him or her. I don’t want him or her to live in a family where ther father is too busy and rarely appears.”
“You… Such a good excuse!”
Benjamin was so angry that he panted and blushed. “You’re not ready? Have you thought about me?
“I don’t have much time left. If you don’t work hard and give birth to a child, I won’t be able to close my eyes even if I die!
“Do you want me to die with grievances before you’re satisfied!?”
“Grandpa!”
“Mr. Hayes!”
“Mr. Hayes!”
Andrew, Elizabeth, and Peter spoke in shock, especially Andrew.
Andrew looked at Benjamin, whose hands were trembling from anger, and suddenly realized that he had indeed been too negligent with Benjamin all these years.
Andrew had always felt that Benjamin wanted a great–grandson because he wanted to compare himself to his friends and also because he wanted to find something to do.
However, the words that Benjamin blurted out just now made Andrew realize that he might have overlooked something. Perhaps something Andrew did not know had happened.
Andrew thought for a moment and decided to stabilize Benjamin first.
“Grandpa. Andrew held Elizabeth’s hand and Benjamin’s trembling hand tightly. Andrew said sincerely, “It’s my fault for being unfilial and making you so angry.
Tll go find a doctor to help me and Elizabeth recuperate.
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely let you have a great–grandson by this year.”
Chapter 74
Elizabeth quickly cooperated. “Yes, Mr. Hayes. We will definitely work hard.”
Benjamin looked at Andrew and then looked at Elizabeth. He snorted arrogantly and turned his head to the side. “Who cares if you’re filial? I just want a cute little great–grandson.”
Although Benjamin said that he didn’t care, his eyes kept glancing at the three of them holding hands. The smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
Heh, so Andrew was a little unreliable sometimes, but he was still a filial child.
Benjamin wished his little great–grandchild coming quickly.
After coaxing Benjamin, Andrew left the old residence with Elizabeth.
On the way, Elizabeth noticed that Andrew’s expression was very solemn. Elizabeth could not help but ask, “Mr. Hayes…”
“I don’t know yet. Andrew was not prepared to hide it from Elizabeth. “I’m going to look for Benjamin’s private doctor. Do you want to go?”
“Okay, I’ll accompany you.” Elizabeth actually had a bad premonition.
When they arrived at the doctor’s house, the doctor looked at Andrew’s serious expression and sighed speechlessly.
The doctor asked Andrew and Elizabeth to go to the study upstairs with him.
“Mr. Hayes asked me to hide it from you.” The doctor took out Benjamin’s latest case from the safe and handed it to Andrew. “Mr. Hayes’s old after all. His heart disease has worsened.
“Perhaps, he won’t live long”
Thud.
The case in Andrew’s hand fell to the ground.
Andrew, who had always been calm and composed, instantly panicked. “Impossible!
“Grandpa’s health has always been good. Why did it suddenly deteriorate? I don’t believe it.”
“The results of the examination…”
“Then the result is wrong!” Andrew interrupted the doctor. He stared at the medical record on the ground and gritted his teeth fiercely. “There must be a mistake in the result. I don’t believe it.”
“There’s no mistake.” The doctor squatted down to pick up the medical record. He tidied it up and placed it on the desk. before saying, “After the result was on, Mr. Hayes refused to believe it and went to another hospital for a checkup.
“Later, Mr. Hayes also asked me to find the best cardiologists, who said that Mr. Hayes’s condition could only be relieved by
surgery.
“But at his age, the risk of surgery is very high.”
“What’s the success rate?” Andrew’s hands were tightly clenched behind his back. His fingertips were clenched in his palm, and blood dripped from his palm onto the ground.
“It’s very low.” The doctor sighed. “Besides, even if the surgery is successful, there might be accidents during the later
recovery process.”
“Is there no other way?” Andrew’s tone was very heavy.
The doctor sighed again. “The surgery is indeed dangerous. It’s better to recuperate at this stage.
Elizabeth noticed Andrew’s hand. She held his hand and asked on his behalf, “If we can properly nurse Mr. Hayes’s body so that he can undergo surgery, will the success rate increase?”
“Sure, the doctor replied readily. “It’s best to cheer up Benjamin.
“Everyone knew that Mr. Hayes had always been looking forward to having a great–grandson, or….
“Why don’t you give it a try? Perhaps with a glimmer of hope, Mr. Hayes will pull himself together and take the initiative to recuperate?”
These words made Elizabeth feel a little strange.
Even if Benjamin wanted a great–grandson, it wasn’t to the extent that everyone knew, right?
Why did Elizabeth feel like Benjamin had dug a hole and was waiting for her and Andrew to jump in?
But…
Andrew was too concerned about Benjamin’s condition and did not think much about it. He immediately agreed. “Alright,

“Okay.” The doctor looked at Andrew with a smile. Then I’ll wait for your good news
