One Night Surprise

Chapter 485 Thank You, Courtney

The afternoon after Josephine left, Scott suddenly acted uncharacteristically as he became cooperative when the doctor came to confirm his indicators and conditions were correct before the surgery. He even asked the doctor if they could bring forward the surgery because he wanted to go back home earlier and keep his great-grandson company.

When Linda told Courtney about this, the latter had been registering some details about a particular medicine. She was stunned for a moment before she smiled.

On the day of the surgery, the doctor helped Scott change into a surgical gown before getting everything ready. Courtney was watching silently when Scott suddenly grabbed her hand.

He rubbed his old fingers against her palm, giving her a faint sense of warmth.

“Courtney, I don’t want to embarrass myself, but I wasn’t this scared when I was young. After so many years, I can’t believe I’m finally afraid of dying at an old age.”

The old man’s voice was hoarse with a hint of trembling. Upon listening to his words, Courtney felt her eyes turn red as she held his hands. “Grandpa, I promise you that the surgery will be a success. You still have to watch Jordan, Tina, and Josie grow up.”

Her words instantly touched the softest parts of his heart. The reason why he had fallen in love with this world today was because he had watched his broken family slowly coming back together over the years.

Now, people from four generations of his family were living in the same house, which was a rare joy for anyone. Although he felt happy, he was sad at the same time because he always felt that it wouldn’t last long. One day, he would have to say goodbye to all of this.

“Thank you, Courtney.”

She accompanied him to the entrance of the operation room. Before the door closed, the old man’s hand slowly detached from hers, and right at that moment, she could hear him thanking her with his hoarse voice.

For a moment, it felt as though a huge stone was placed above her heart. As she stared at the light that lit up in front of the operating room door, images of memories overlapped in her mind, causing her to lose her footing.

Suddenly, her icy palms were filled with warmth as she felt the familiar breath of a man next to her, slowly giving a sense of relief to her anxious heart. She tightened her hand, greedily drawing on the sense of security brought to her by Alexander.
