President's Substitute Wife

Simon, who didn’t want to interfere, couldn’t stand it.

He came and said, “Michelle, let them in.”

“You’re helping them. This woman...”

“Come on, don’t make trouble in the hospital. It’s disgraceful.” Simon was fretful.

I could see from his expression that he didn’t like Michelle.

Sean took me and I went in with them.

In the ward, James was in the only bed. He was intubated. His hands were being injected and there were countless medical devices next to him.

His eyes were closed and his face was wrinkled and his skin was sallow.

In fact, I met him not long ago, but James seemed to have suddenly aged by several decades.

Lester asked Sean, “is grandpa asleep?”

“You have to call him great-grandpa.” I reminded him.

Now Lester called Sean dad. So he should call James great-grandpa.

James opened his eyes when he heard us talking. He saw Lester and he opened his cracked lips. “Lester, here you are.”

His voice was hoarse and weak.

Lester nodded.

Sean brought in a chair. Lester sat in a chair and looked at James. “Grandpa, great-grandpa, what’s the matter with you?”

“Then you should listen to the doctor’s advice and take injection and medicine. You’ll be well soon!”

Lester was young. In his world, he didn’t know that there were many kinds of diseases.

He thought James had a cold and a fever. As long as he took medicine and had an injection, he would recover.
