Pursuing My Ex Wife in Full Blooming Spring novel (Naomi)

Soon, everyone saw it was Charles.

Everyone came forward to greet him. Charles walked over, greeting each person before asking, "Can I go see Grandma?"

Nolan Queen replied, "She just came out of surgery not long ago. It's better not to go in now and wait until tomorrow morning."

Nolan was Wendy's older brother, the eldest in the Queens, and a respected figure in the academic world. Nolan arranged for the doctor who performed the surgery for Charlotte.

Charles nodded and said, "Can I at least wait outside?"

Nolan said, "Yes, your mother will take you to see her. We are discussing the follow-up treatment."

"Alright."

Wendy led Charles to the ICU. Through the glass door, they could clearly see Charlotte lying in bed with various tubes inserted into her body. There was a dedicated nurse by the bedside, recording Charlotte's condition at all times.

Charles furrowed his brow in concern. Grandma was already 80 years old, and undergoing surgery at this age meant her body might not be as resilient as before.

Wendy also observed her condition, feeling distressed as she said, "It happened too quickly, but luckily it was while she was about to sleep. Aunt Lilly was taking care of her. Otherwise, if she had laid down on the bed..."

Wendy did not finish her sentence, but Charles knew what she meant. If she had truly fallen asleep and something went wrong, she might not have woken up again. "Don't worry. The most critical time has passed. Grandma will gradually get better," Charles reassured.

He knew that with timely detection and surgery, cerebral hemorrhage could be manageable. However, if it was not addressed quickly, the situation could become dire. Charlotte was now in a critical condition due to her advanced age. It was discovered early, and treatment was prompt, so recovery was just a matter of time.

He believed that his grandmother would get better.

Wendy's eyes welled up with tears. Upon hearing Charles's words, she wiped away the tears and nodded. "Your uncle consulted the doctor and fortunately, they caught it early. The surgery was timely, and there shouldn't be any problem when she wakes up."

Charles looked away, gently patting Wendy's back. "Grandma will be fine."

Wendy nodded and said, "We all believe that. She will definitely get better."

By the time he was done checking on his grandmother, it was already 2:30 p.m. Charles glanced at the time and said to Wendy, "Mom, I have something to attend to. I'll be back around three." Wendy was taken aback. "What is it?"

Without waiting for Charles's response, Wendy looked outside and said, "It's already so late. Where do you need to go at this hour?"

It was not surprising for Wendy to ask. With everything settled, it was time to rest: What could be so

Charles hesitated. Then, his gaze softened as he said, "I... I need to pick up a friend."

She was genuinely excited, and her voice was significantly louder than before, drawing the attention of the Queens who were talking.

Charles heard Wendy and froze, while Wendy also realized that she had spoken too loudly. Afraid of disturbing Charlotte, who was resting in the ICU, she hurriedly pulled Charles to a quieter place. Everyone's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
