Chapter 860: Finale
At this moment, the door of the ICU opened and Mrs. Walton was pushed out. The doctor was shouting, “Where’s the family? Come here for a moment!”
Old Master Walton hurriedly went over. Amelia broke free from George’s arms and ran to the operating table. She tiptoed and looked at Mrs. Walton.
“Grandma,” Amelia called out urgently. “Grandma, wake up…”
The doctor was saying to George in a low voice, “The bullet went past the edge of the old lady’s heart. She’s out of danger now, but we don’t know when she’ll wake up, or even if she’ll wake up…”
Andrew was at the side, memorizing what the doctor had said and nodding. In the end, Mrs. Walton was pushed back to the intensive care unit and given special attention. Amelia lay by her hospital bed and held her grandmother’s hand tightly. Her grandmother’s hand was a little cold, not as warm as before.
Amelia’s eyes turned red. She choked and said, “Grandma, can you get better? Open your eyes… Grandma, Mia misses Grandma so much. Grandma, hug…”
Mrs. Walton’s eyes were closed tightly, showing no signs of waking up.
Amelia grabbed Mrs. Walton’s hand. If her grandmother did not wake up, she did not dare to leave. She drew a circle and guarded her grandmother. No demons or ghosts could get close to her grandmother. She had drawn hundreds of safety talismans, warding off evil talismans, and protective talismans day and night. Every uncle, brother, sister, and father’s pockets were filled with clothes. She regretted not drawing a few more protective talismans for her grandmother. She regretted that her protective talismans were not powerful enough, so she began to use the jade stone she carried back to cut out pieces the size of a sea bowl. She personally ground them one by one into strings of protective jade beads. Pure jade could be made into elementary magical artifacts.
Amelia gave everyone a bracelet. George looked at the pure purple jade beads on his wrist and asked, “This is?”
Amelia lowered her head and continued to make jade beads as she said, “This is a protective artifact. Eldest Uncle, you have to wear it well. Don’t take it off when you shower and sleep.”
George nodded solemnly. “Eldest Uncle will remember.”
At this moment, George keenly noticed that Amelia’s fingertips were trembling.
“Mia?” George frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Amelia looked up and forced a smile with trembling lips. “Eldest Uncle, Mia is fine. I just didn’t sleep well.”
George did not think that was the case. He pressed Amelia’s hand down to stop her from grinding the jade beads. Only then did he realize that there were several talismans wrapped around her hand. The talismans were accidentally knocked off, revealing Amelia’s bloody fingers. It turned out that Amelia had not only worn her fingers out when grinding these jade beads, but she had also emptied her mind because Dharma artifacts needed to be enhanced by the efforts of the practitioner. She was afraid that her father and Eldest Uncle would find out, so she used the talismans to hide. Now that she was too tired and really could not hold on, George knocked off the talismans.
George’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed her hand. “Mia, stop!”
Amelia tried her best to squeeze out a smile to reassure George, but she fainted in George’s arms!
“Mia!” George exclaimed.
When she woke up again, Amelia was beside her grandmother’s bed. She was still thinking about her grandmother when she fainted. George had no choice but to add a small bed beside Mrs. Walton’s bed so that Amelia could rest.
Amelia woke up and tilted her head to see her grandmother lying beside her. Her eyes immediately moistened. “Grandma, can you wake up? Mia is hungry…”
At that moment, Mrs. Walton’s voice burst out. “Hungry? Mia… hungry?” Her voice was weak, even soft, but Amelia heard her!
Amelia was stunned for a moment before she quickly climbed onto Mrs. Walton’s bed. “Grandma, Grandma!”
Mrs. Walton’s eyelashes trembled. She seemed to have used all her strength to open her eyes. “Mia… Mia is hungry… Grandma will go now… to make… delicious food for Mia…” Mrs. Walton’s lips moved, and her voice was intermittent. She had been lying down for a few days without eating or drinking, so her voice was extremely hoarse.
Amelia burst into tears. “Grandma!”
When Mrs. Walton woke up, Amelia felt relieved. Mrs. Walton was too old, and her injuries this time had hurt her body. She needed to recuperate well. While Amelia accompanied her to recuperate, she was also investigating the King of Equality’s hiding place with Alex. Finally, good news came. On the day Mrs. Walton recovered, Amelia and Alex embarked on the path of taking revenge on the King of Equality.
This time, the winner would definitely be them.
