Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

He called his doctor to the house and his doctor told him he was only stressed and that nothing was wrong with him. The old man didn believe his doctor and that was when he started to suspect that enemies were lurking around them.

He didn want to alert the enemies, so he started to investigate things from the dark. His granddaughters wedding was fast approaching and she was extremely happy about it, so he didn want to ruin her happiness by revealing these things to her, and for that, she had to find out in such a heartbreaking way.

”S–sorry, ch–child, Im s–orry– ” the old mans dimmed eyes slowly closed and the hand on her cheeks was about to fall off when she grabbed it.

”N–no, no, grandpa, please don do this to me, grandfather, I beg you please… g–grandfather… ” She slowly put his hand down and gently patted his body in an attempt to wake him up.

”Grandpa! ” She called again while shaking him gently.

”Old man Lee! ” She patted his cheeks.

When hes sleeping and she sneaks into his room, she would pat his face like this and call him, old man Lee. He would smile before slowly opening his eyes to ask her what she wanted.

She only calls him by his name when she needs something, so she was expecting him to smile at her and ask her what she wanted, but her expectation was dashed!

”Old man Lee…grandfather!!! ” She started to shake him vehemently, but still, he showed no signs of waking up.

”Christine!! ”

”Guards!!! ”

”Maya!!! ”

”Aunt Martha!! ”

”Uncle Wong!!!! ”

But nobody came. Realization dawned on her that she was alone, all alone with her grandfather in the whole sitting room with no one to help.

She searched around the place with her blurry eyes, looking for anything that could help her and she spotted the telephone.

She laid her grandfather on the cold floor and stood up. Jeslyn hurried to the telephone while stepping on her gown numerous times, almost falling.

On reaching the phone, she hurriedly picked it up, placed it on her right ear, and started to punch the ambulance number she had committed to her memory.

After punching in the numbers, she was expecting to hear an indication that her call was connecting or hear a voice from the other end, but nothing came even after trying it a few times. Her chaotic mind told her to check the wires and when she did, it was cleanly cut!
