Chapter 1376

The cup in Old Madam Atherton's hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.

"What... did you say?"

She looked up at Catelyn in disbelief.

Catelyn stood in front of Old Madam Atherton stiffly. Catelyn's eyes were still red, and her heart was filled with

sadness. She repeated word by word, "Grandpa Mason is seriously sick. The doctor said that he would die within this

year. When Ceddy and I went to visit him last night, his last wish was to see you. Nana, for the sake of the kids and

me, would you please go to see him and fulfill his last wish?"

Outside the windows, it was sunny and warm. However, in the room, it was as cold and gloomy as hell.

Old Madam Atherton fell silent as if she was shocked by the news. For a while she motionlessly sat there,

expressionless.

"Nana? Nana..."

Suddenly, Old Madam Atherton waved her hand and interrupted Catelyn. She stood up and went upstairs. From her

bent back, it seemed that she had been overwhelmed by the news and become a walking dead without any

feelings.

Her eyes were gloomy. For an instant, she became numb...

Catelyn didn't catch up with her.

On the next day and the third day, Old Madam Atherton acted as if she had never heard about Draco. She had fun

with the kids as usual.

Again, Catelyn asked Old Madam Atherton if she would like to go to the hospital to see Draco, but Old Madam

Atherton just turned around as if she didn't hear that. She skipped the topic casually and discussed the birthday

gifts for the kids this year with Catelyn.

'Nana must hate Grandpa Mason very much..."

When Catelyn was lost in thought, the hospital informed her that Draco was critically ill and had been sent to the

operating room.

Catelyn went to see Old Madam Atherton immediately. When Old Madam Atherton saw Catelyn's panicked face, Old

Madam Atherton guessed something and asked in a trembling voice, "Has... he died?"

"Nana, are you determined not to go to see him?" Catelyn told Old Madam Atherton that Draco was critically ill.

Then she told Old Madam Atherton Draco's condition in the hospital these days.

"He has refused the chemotherapy because it will damage his image. He's reluctant to die ungracefully, but you

know that cancer is terrifying...

"When he suffers from cancer, he is unable to fall asleep for the whole night. He relies on pain killer at first, but it

becomes ineffective later. Now he's drowsy most of the time, but he still mutters your name.

"When he is awake, he has never asked us to look for you. I ask you to go to see him because I'm reluctant to see

him die with regrets.

"I hear from his lawyer that he has made a will. Except for the stocks of the family property, he only leaves a small

part of the property to his kids. The rest all belongs to you. He thinks that he has owed you for his whole life and

would like to make it up to you as much as possible.

"Never mind, Nana. I just want to tell you that. If you're reluctant, you can refuse. I don't have the right to force you

to see a man with who you have a love-hate relationship.”

Catelyn's words re-echoed in Old Madam Atherton's mind. Old Madam Atherton recalled what happened a few

decades ago.

It was happy, sad and painful...

Suddenly, she burst into tears like a kid and grabbed Catelyn's hand sadly.

"It's not because I'm reluctant to see him, Cat. I'm afraid that he will die after I go to see him and fulfill his last wish!

If so, Draco will disappear from the world..."

"It's not like that. As long as you go to see him, he will leave the world with a smile." Catelyn grabbed Old Madam

Atherton's icy hand.

"Really?" Old Madam Atherton looked up at Catelyn with bleared eyes.

Catelyn nodded hard and sobbed.

She asked Kelly to arrange the car.

Before they set off, Old Madam Atherton panicked. She was like a kid who didn't know what she could do. She

stroked her dry and lined face. Her move was clumsy and funny. She looked worried.

"I haven't put on makeup or drawn my eyebrows. Am I ugly? Will he dislike me when he sees me like this at the end

of his life?

"I'd better not go to see him and let him only remember my image when I was beautiful..."

She sat down on the chair in a panic. In the next second, she stood up again. "No. I must be the last one who stays

by his side. Then he will remember me forever."

Catelyn hugged her and comforted her gently. "I will put on makeup for you. Then you can go to see him."
