Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440

The room was huge and carpeted, giving off a tranquil feeling. An older gentleman sat in front of the window, watching the snow falling outside with distant eyes. Such a beautiful scene made one feel peaceful looking at it.

However, the older gentleman was not sitting in an ordinary chair but in a wheelchair. Even though it looked sturdy and high–tech, it was still a wheelchair.

“Grandpa?” Lily called him with a trembling voice.

‘What‘s wrong with him?‘

“You‘re back!” Wilfred answered her in a soft tone but did not shift his sight.

Lily quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of him. She wanted to continue forward but felt a little timid. Only now did the older gentleman turn his wheelchair around to look at her. He was still the same as how Lily remembered.

However, he looked much older and had whiter hair and more wrinkles. His eyes were not as sharp as before and looked more peaceful and kind.

Could it be because Lily had been away for a long time that she felt he had become gentle? At this moment, Lily suddenly felt that maybe her grandfather did not hate her as much as she thought he did.

Wilfred gave her a once–over and said, “You‘ve grown up!” Lily could hear the relief and regret in his voice. The little girl shorter than his waist had grown up, and now he could only sit and look up at her. That was how life went, after all. The younger generation would soon grow up and replace the older generation.

“There‘s no cure for gout. It‘s usually fine, but when the pain relapses...”

“All right, it‘s not a big deal. It‘s common for old people to get pain and soreness like this.” Wilfred probably felt Justin had said too much and impatiently interjected. Justin stopped explaining and stood there quietly upon being scolded. “I heard you won an award recently?” Wilfred lowered his head and asked.

“Yeah, I won the perfumery competition. It‘s not a big deal either.” Lily said. It was still quite a distance away from her goal, after all.

Wilfred smiled fleetingly, “It surprised me that you can continue doing this. Excellent.” He saw Lily‘s hand still on his knee and held it, “Stand up.”

Lily was stunned when Wilfred held her hands. She looked up at him, and he forcefully led her to stand up. Lily stood, but her eyes involuntarily fell to his knees. ‘It probably hurts a lot even though he says it was nothing.‘
