Pursuing Her

Chapter 152 Good Luck

Sophie gave Josiah’s orchid a few more glances and realized that it was indeed of a rare species.

“If you like it, I’ll get someone to send a few more pots of this orchid to you,” was all Sophie said to him in response.

She had come not to talk about orchids with Josiah but to convince the elderly man to undergo surgery.

“Soph, is there something you want to talk to me about?” Josiah rarely saw her so hesitant to say anything.

There was no point in hiding it anymore, so she said, “Grandpa, I hope you’ll agree to the surgery.”

Josiah turned silent.

Why is she suddenly talking about this? Though, it isn’t actually that abrupt. Didn’t she bring me to the hospital for a full-body checkup the other day?

Josiah was contemplating how he should reply to her. He was old and genuinely did not want to go through the hassle anymore.

“Soph, I don’t want to undergo the surgery. All I want for my final days is to see you happy. That’s all I need.”

If he did not agree to undergo surgery, he might have a little longer to live. However, if he agreed to it, there was a high chance that he would not even survive the operation as his body might not be able to handle the stress.

Nevertheless, Josiah was moved.

While Josiah was keeping his condition a secret, Sophie, who did not live with him, knew what was going on. On the other hand, Yale, Charmaine, and Willow, who all stayed under the same roof as Josiah, did not notice anything amiss about him. Who said that she’s not caring?

“Grandpa, trust me, okay? Please agree to the surgery.” Sophie leaned against his leg. He was the last bit of warmth she had in the world, and she did not wish for him to leave her so soon.

“Soph, I don’t want to part with you, and that’s why I don’t want to agree to this surgery.” No one was not afraid of death. Although elderly people were expected to be more accepting of death, Josiah did not want to meet his demise yet.
