novelxo Chapter 41
Before exiting the waiting area at the airport, she called Emmett to inquire about
Carlos’ grandfather's address.
To her surprise, she received an address of a hospital.
“Hospital? Why is he in the hospital? What's wrong?” she asked in confusion.
At the other end of the line, Emmett paused a little to think.
“Mrs.
Hilton, where are you?” He asked instead of answering her question.
“Has she really gone to New York?" he thought to himself, a crease on his
forehead.
Trapped in his own musings, he heard Debbie say, “I'm in New York. I just got off
the plane.”
Her voice trembled correspondingly, and then she added, “It's freezing cold out
here.” What she said was no exaggeration, and Emmett was more than aware.
Back home, the climate was welcoming with the soft breeze of Autumn. In
New York, however, the temperature had dropped to several degrees below zero.

Emmett's mouth was agape in shock for a bit. He had not expected her to push

to the young lady.
Although she wanted to refuse, it was snowing heavily outside and she did not

turned to the side and entered the nearest coffee bar that caught her eyes.
Just as Emmett kept true to his word, a car picked Debbie up to drive her to the
hospital where the old man she was supposed to see was currently confined.
Upon entering the ICU ward, Debbie eyed the old man lying in bed, with all kinds
of tubes and apparatuses inserted into his skinny and frail body.
The mere sight of the man’s condition nearly broke her heart.
“What happened?” Debbie asked in a soft whisper, turning to the driver who had
brought her to the hospital from the airport.
“Carlos’ grandfather has been in poor health for years,” the driver began, his
chauffeur cap in his hand.
“He has been in a coma for over three years now. Ever since he got seriously ill,
the man has not awakened from it.”
