Rewriting My Heart's Fate (Ethan and Evelyn) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 

The words I wanted to say were stuckin iny throat and were as sloup as daggers that stabbed me repeatedly. 

After a few seconds of silence, toolia deep breath and asked, “How much time does my grandma have let 

The doctor adjusted his classes. He’d grown accustomed to seeing people dying, and he said, “Three to six months ” 

It felt like a boulder had crashed down on me. My mind went blank for a moment, and I slowly left the office after thanking the doctor. 

I wanted to return to Grandma’s ward and to be by her side, to hold her wann hand, and never leave her again. But when I passed by a glass window, I caught sight of myself with red–timed eyes and a weary face. 

I didn’t want anyone to worry about ine, so I headed to the hospital’s garden instead of going back upstairs. 

Yardville had felt as warm as spring just a few weeks ago. People said winter would come today, but I didn’t believe them. Now, it was snowing in Yardville, which was usually spring all year long 

As the snowflakes dritted down, I tilted my head back and reached out to catch them. The delicate snowflakes landed on my palm and melted instantly. 

There was a fleeting moment when I wanted to cry, bet crying wouldn’t change anything. 

I wanted to spend as much time as I could with Grandma. I couldn’t bear to leave her alone in Yardville, 

As for my studies at St. Nicholas University, I’d take my finals if I could manage and self–study. But if I couldn’t, I’d take a gap year. My part–time work with Eren would have to stop too. 

I composed myself and headed back to the ward after having settled on a plan. On the way, I received a text from Lyla asking if I was back in Yardville. 

I didn’t want her to be saddened by Grandma’s news, and I didn’t want to spend the New Year with those friends either, so I lied and told her I was still busy in Napel. I wouldn’t be home for the holidays. 

Lyla sent me a crying emoji and rambled about how much she missed me. It’d been a long time since we’d last seen each other, and she wanted a meal and to spend time together while lying in bed whispering secrets. 

My heart lightened a little at her words. 

Then, she mentioned that she’d visit me in Napel on the third or fourth day after New Year. I quickly stopped her and told her that I’d be back in Yardville by then. We exchanged a few more words before 1 put my phone away. Then, I mustered the courage to return to the ward. 

Liam was nowhere to be seen, and it was just Grandma in the ward. I walled over, bent down, and gently hugged her. As I smelled her familiar scent, tears came streaming despite my efforts to control them.
