Let's Get Married novel Chapter 497

Lily looks at Bree who is carefully tucking Harry in, and feels sad. Handing her a glass of hot water, she says, "Mom, drink some. I've talked to the doctor. Dad is suffering from brain infarction, but we can only know more after tomorrow's examination. I'll have a friend from Karl's Hospital pick him up in the morning."

"What else did the doctor say? How is your dad? Is he in any mortal danger?"

"Not temporarily, but he needs surgery. So, I want to transfer him to Karl's Hospital." Lily plays down the seriousness of Harry's illness, afraid that Bree can't take it.

"Karl's Hospital?" Bree's memory doesn't serve her well at this old age. "Is it...?"

"It's Rex's friend's hospital," Lily interrupts, "It's better than this one. Dad will be fine there."

"That's good. It's preferable to have friends around."

Lily looks down at Harry, who is lying on the hospital bed and wearing a patient gown. He is in a coma, with a ventilator in his nose and a clip attached to the ECG monitor on his finger. However, he seems tense.

Lily cries despite herself, feeling complicated. She remembers Harry as the young man he used to be. But the truth is time has made him old and weak.

Lily sniffs and endures the sadness that is about to burst out. She doesn't want to sadden Bree even more. Taking out her phone, Lily calls Karl.

The phone rings a few times before it is picked up. A familiar warm voice sounds, "Lily?"

"Karl, it's me."

Her voice is trembling, which worries Karl. His first thought is that it must be about Rex. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I'm fine. It's my father." Lily looks at the white wall in front of her, feeling depressed. "This morning, my father had brain infarction. He has just been rescued in the hospital. The doctor said the clots were huge and he needed surgery."

"Don't worry. How is the old man now?"

"He is in bed, resting. The doctor warned me not to disturb him. And the examination result will not come out until tomorrow."

"Then I'll send someone to pick him up early tomorrow morning. We have mobile beds. There's no need for him to walk, and we will move him through the hospital's emergency passageway. He will be in good hands. Karl's hospital has the best neural doctors in the country, and the examination can take place immediately," Karl explains to her slowly, afraid that she can't withstand the blow.

Lily is deeply grateful. "Thank you, Karl. I'm really worried. I don't know what to do. I'll have to trouble you...."

"You're welcome. Stay with him tonight and wait for me."

"Alright."

Hanging up the phone, Lily feels a little more at ease. She shivers at the thought that Harry won't get better. What will become of her and Bree if that happens?

They might break down.

This is the first time Lily feels the burden of family. She leaves the shop in Gladys's care. Fortunately, Adair is with Ryan in London. Otherwise, Adair will have no one to look after him.

Karl has good connections and manages to find Harry a private ward. At night, Bree lies down on another bed and rests, while Lily goes home to pack some daily necessities.

If Harry is to be hospitalized after the surgery, they will come in handy.

The inky night howls its presence through the barred windows of the RED Community. Carrying a heavy handbag, Lily seems to have merged with the endless night.

A feeling of exhaustion overcomes her. Her heart is weighed down by tons of hefty stones, leaving her breathless. She prays every day for this jinx to go away quickly.
