GoodReadIt had been long since Scarlett had been in a hospital. The smell of disinfectant made her uncomfortable.
The corridor outside the VIP ward was very quiet. There was only the sound of their footsteps.
Viviana walked ahead, carrying the chicken soup cooked by maids. Scarlett was supporting Rowan.
Rowan participated in several big wars when he was young. He was shot in the left shin and right thigh. Now he was aged. He felt unwell when it rained.
He was getting older and weaker. Though proud, he had to admit that he was no longer young.
He would rather walk slower than let others help him, but the person that was helping him was Scarlett, Pearl's daughter. As he gazed at Scarlett's face, which was similar to Pearl's, Rowan's heart melted. He would do as Scarlett wished as long as she was happy.
Rowan couldn't walk fast. Scarlett slowed down her pace. When they entered the ward, Viviana had rolled up the bed.
After being tortured by cancer for more than five years, Scarlett's grandma was very thin, but Scarlett could see that she was a striking beauty when she was young from her face.

No wonder Larry said she looked like her grandma. It was true. Scarlett had her grandma's pretty eyes.
Her grandma was old. The skin on her face was loose, and her eyelids drooped. Her eyes were not as charming as before.
Scarlett stood by, feeling depressed.
This was her grandmother.
Rowan walked over with his cane. He stood at his wife's bedside, looking down at her. "You've waited for so many years. Now she's here. Pearl is a poor girl. She and her husband died in a car accident nine years ago, but she had a daughter. This is your granddaughter. She looks very much like you." Rowan looked at Scarlett. "Scarlett, come over and let your grandmother see you. She has been looking forward to today for so long." Scarlett came up. Her grandma was lying in bed. Her eyes were no longer clear. Larry said she was near death.
She could do nothing but swallow a little soup. She couldn't speak or move, but she could see people.
Scarlett had just walked over when the old lady's fingers twitched. Viviana noticed it. "Scarlett, don't be afraid.
Your grandmother wants to touch you." Scarlett also saw it. She lowered her eyes and carefully touched her grandma's hand.
The old lady's hand was as thin as a rake. Scarlett felt like she was touching a dead branch.
Suddenly, her hand was gently held. It brought a lump to Scarlett's throat. "Grandma, nice to meet you. My name is Scarlett." She looked down at the old lady, smiling slightly.
As soon as Scarlett said that, she felt the back of her hand being softly touched.
She knew that the old lady was greeting her.
Her grandma, who had waited eagerly for more than thirty years, now finally fulfilled her wish. She vaguely saw a girl in her twenties, who resembled her daughter Pearl.
Rowan whispered in her ear that this was Pearl's daughter and she looked very much like her.
Indeed, she was just like her Pearl. Whenever people saw her, they said that Pearl was as beautiful as her.
She had been waiting for more than thirty years and had been struggling against cancer for more than five years. She was hanging on just to see her Pearl.

Yet Pearl passed away, leaving her with a granddaughter.
She always wanted a sweet granddaughter, but Viviana was in poor health, so she didn't have another child after giving birth to Larry.
Now that Pearl gave her a granddaughter, she got her wish.
Her granddaughter was good-looking, and her voice was lovely. As she heard what Scarlett said, she felt like lying in a cloud.
She was eager to hug her granddaughter, but unfortunately, she was dying, unable to move.
In the past few years, there were several times that she worried that she couldn't wake up the next day.
Now, she finally didn't have to worry.
She got what she wanted.
