In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 492 Shocking News

Xander wasn't sure if he was saying it for Grace to hear or for himself. But he was sure that he would help her achieve whatever she wanted.

"You think so? Let's hope what you said will come true."

"It's late. Let's go to the cafeteria together for dinner."

"Okay, I want meatballs, grilled pork, mushroom soup ..."

…

That night, Grace returned home. As she was about to go upstairs, she heard a loud noise coming from the study. Her steps halted.

Out of curiosity, she cautiously approached the study and gently pushed the door open, peering through the crack.

She saw Harold sitting in a chair, looking utterly dejected.

The butler tried to console him. "Mr. Lewis Senior, you need to take care of your body."

Harold covered his face, sobbing quietly.

The butler sighed. "Mr. Aaron is still young and has a strong body. He'll get through this for sure."

Harold sighed. "Among all my grandchildren, he has been the smartest and most sensible since he was a child. As the eldest grandson, he's the hope of our family.

"I've been grooming him to be my successor. Who would have thought that he would fall ill at such a young age?"

"Mr. Lewis Senior, God will bless him. He'll be fine. We're already searching for a suitable heart throughout the globe. Once we find a match, Mr. Aaron can undergo surgery soon. The chances of recovery are high."

Upon hearing this, Grace felt something inside her shatter.

She instinctively pushed the door open and asked in disbelief, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? What happened to Aaron?"

Harold was caught off guard by Grace's sudden appearance, but he tried to contain his emotions. He asked, "Gracie, why are you back?"

Grace looked at Harold in disbelief. She parted her lips and asked, "Grandpa, tell me the truth. What happened to Aaron?

"And … what did you say about finding a heart? What match? Is Aaron sick? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Harold remained silent.

Meanwhile, the old butler sighed.

"Grandpa, do you still want to keep it from me?"

Harold looked out the window and only spoke after a while. "Gracie, Aaron discovered a problem with his health a year ago. It has worsened recently. He has heart failure and needs immediate surgery."

These words hit Grace like a thunderbolt, and her eyes filled with disbelief.

"H-How is this possible?"

"Ms. Grace, only Mr. Lewis Senior and you know about this. Your other two brothers are still unaware. Mr. Lewis Senior originally planned to tell you all after Aaron's surgery, once he had fully recovered."

"Where's Aaron now?"

"At the hospital."

…

Grace went to the hospital and saw Aaron lying in the hospital bed.

At this moment, she had mixed emotions. She belatedly understood why Harold had insisted on her taking over the company.

Because now she was Harold's only hope.

Through the glass window, Grace murmured, "Aaron, you must get better soon."

She clasped her hands together silently, making a decision in her heart.

…

"Gracie, have you thought this through?"RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
