Chapter 177
She didn’t want anything to happen to her grandmother.
As long as Ginny was still around, she had something to hold on to.
If Ginny were gone too, she would truly be left all alone.
Ginny clasped Autumn’s hand in return and smiled as she explained, “I heard from Irene that you’d just arrived, so I couldn’t wait to see you.
She had just woken up when Irene told her Autumn came by and stepped out with the doctor to discuss her condition.
Without a second thought, she pushed past the dizziness, threw back the covers, got out of bed without even putting on her shoes, and hurried toward the rooftop.
Irene was startled by her actions and rushed after her, holding the IV bag high as she jogged to catch up.
By the time they reached the rooftop, she saw the doctor about to reveal her true condition and quickly called out Autumn’s name in alarm.
Thankfully, she had made it in time.
The doctor hadn’t yet said anything.
If Autumn found out she didn’t have much time left, how devastated would she be?
The young doctor understood Ginny’s intention, let out a silent sigh, and walked toward the doorway.
Seeing him approach, Autumn quickly asked about what he hadn’t finished saying earlier.
“Doctor, you didn’t finish before. Can you tell me now p>
Ginny shot the doctor a sharp, warning look, her meaning crystal clear–he had better keep quiet or face the
consequences.
In her middle years, Ginny had spent many seasons in the business world alongside her late husband, her gaze carrying the sharpness only a seasoned negotiator could possess.
That single look, though calm, carried an undeniable weight.
The doctor cleared his throat and said, “Your grandmother’s dizziness is only from weakness. With some care, she’ll be much better. It’s nothing serious p>
She didn’t want her family knowing the truth, yet here he was, ready to tell them.
He was meddling where he shouldn’t.
Best to stay out of other people’s family matters.
With that, he decided to leave.

Autumn pressed her lips together and thanked him. “Thank you for letting us know, Doctor. I appreciate it p>
Watching the doctor’s back as he walked away, Autumn felt something wasn’t quite right, though she couldn’t immediately put her finger on it.
At that moment, Ginny tugged her arm. “Autumn, I’m fine. Irene was just too worried, so she brought me to the hospital p>
“See? The doctor said there’s nothing wrong. Now you can relax, can’t you p>
Once the doctor left, the tension she had been holding onto eased all at once.
Only then did she feel the dizziness hit hard, though she forced herself to bear it.
The doctor had said that at her age, her organs were deteriorating, and illnesses would follow one after another.
Knowing her days were numbered, she now felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
As long as she saw Autumn, the one she cared for most, settled in life, she could leave without regret.
After taking her grandmother back to the ward and helping her lie down, Irene hung the IV bag on the stand by the bed.
Autumn noticed with concern that her grandmother’s hand, where the IV was inserted, had swollen into a large lump.
She quickly ran out to call a nurse to change the needle.
When the nurse saw the badly swollen hand, she removed the needle while scolding Autumn.
“What were you doing? When a patient is on an IV, they can’t move around freely, let alone walk around casually.
“Don’t you even know such basic common sense? How could you not notice it was this swollen? Is this how you take care of someone p>
