Chapter 336 Rina’s Relief

“Grandma!” Tyler yelled when he saw Rose beginning to topple over. Then, he rushed to grab hold of her before she collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Mary happened to be making her way downstairs. Upon seeing Tyler holding onto Rose, Mary demanded in shock, “Young Master Tyler, what’s going on? Is Old Mrs. Fuller okay?”

“I don’t know what happened, but she fainted,” he explained with an ashen face.

 

Mary hurried over and helped to lay Rose on the floor before performing CPR on the older woman. As she did so, she urged, “Call an ambulance, Young Master Tyler.”

“Oh, right!” He snapped out of his frantic daze and glanced around before he spotted the phone that had slipped from Rose’s grip and landed on the floor earlier. Then, he bent to pick it up.

Coincidentally, the call with Sonia was still ongoing and her alarmed voice filled the other line as she shouted, “Grandma? Grandma!” She had heard the phone clattering onto the ground as well as Tyler’s anxious cries on the other end and instantly knew that something had happened to Rose. She only grew more panicked when Rose didn’t make a single sound over the phone.

Sonia had no idea what was going on. Since she was not with Rose, it meant that she could only clutch her phone with trembling hands and anxiously call out for the latter while hoping desperately for some response. Alas, all that greeted her on the other line was not Rose’s voice, but Tyler’s trepidation as he said, “Sonia, Grandma has just fainted.”

“What do you mean she fainted?” Sonia bolted upright in bed. She was just about to press for details when the call ended with a decisive beep.
