"Laurel, where are you going to take Miss Zoe so late?”
The doctor's arrival had already let Ye know that she might not be able to leave, but she had been
living in the Green family for decades, so she was calm. "Zoe is in good spirits,” she said with a smile.
"I'm going to take her to the backyard.
"No, Laurel, Miss Zoe has never been out after sunset these years, and she is not in good health.
Besides, the operation is going to take place tomorrow, so we need to give Miss Zoe an injection to
ensure a higher success rate of the operation tomorrow.’
After the doctor said this, three nurses stopped them.
Zoe had a headache about the injection, but she didn't say anything. After all, it was for her own good,
but Laurel protected her behind her back.
"It is very late now, wait for my son to come back and give her the injection. The operation is not a
trivial matter, and it needs family member to sign on it. So, we need to know what the needle is."
Laurel's behavior made Zoe a little surprised.
She blinked her wide-eyed eyes at the man in front of her, as if she could sense nervousness.
"Grandma, it's all right. I get injections every day. I'm used to it.
Zoe thought that Laurel loved her, so she explained to Laurel quickly, but it made Laurel want to cry.
What a good child she was!
She said that having injection did not hurt.
How could an injection not hurt?
Why would some vicious men want to bully and suppress such a sensible child?
Laurel said to Zoe with a smile, "Silly girl, grandma knows what it's like to have an injection. Why don't
we just wait for your dad to come back instead of having an injection today?"
"Good!"
Zoe was happy to hear that she didn't need to take injections today.
When the doctor saw that Laurel insisted on not taking the injection, he looked more or less pale.
"Miss Laurel, this is just a normal injection. If Miss Zoe doesn't do it, she may not sleep well tonight.
Miss Zoe has been in our hospital for nearly five years. We are very aware of her health. Please don’t
stop us, so as not to delay Miss Zoe's treatment.”
“With that, several nurses wanted to come forward and pull Laurel away.
In their eyes, Laurel was an old woman, and it was easy to make her go away.
But just then, Laurel took out a pocket-sized pistol from her bosom and pointed it directly at them.
"I wonder who would dare to touch my granddaughter today! In the United States, I'm qualified to carry
a gun. Even if I shoot you today, you're dead for nothing. Just come here if you don't be afraid to die!
Zoe is the child of the Green family. We have the final say on how to treat our children. Even if you are
doctors, you'd have to listen to us, wouldn't you?"
Laurel's strong aura frightened everyone.
She had a real gun in her hand, and the dark hole made everyone's scalp numb.
“Well, Miss Laurel. We are just for Miss Zoe's good. Put away your gun quickly. Don't frighten Miss
Zoe.’
The doctor's words made Laurel a little depressed.
She didn't want to be like this in front of her granddaughter. She just wanted to be a kind grandma, but
at this moment, in order to protect Zoe, she had to do so.
These people were so tough, but Laurel was not an easy person to deal with. It was obvious that they
were determined to give Zoe injections.
But why were they so insistent?
Thinking of Samuel's phone call, Laurel had already had some guesses, but now she missed the best
opportunity to take Zoe away.
"Get out of here, everybody! My granddaughter and I are taking a break! Get out of here!”
Laurel's voice was cold, and her gun was pointed at them, so that they hurried out of the ward.
The first thing Laurel did was to lock the ward.
Zoe watched it in amazement, wondering, "Grandma, are you playing games?"
"Yes, grandma was playing game with them? Isn't it funny?"
Laurel was afraid to frighten her granddaughter, and she quickly squatted down to comfort Zoe.
Zoe was really afraid just now, as Laurel was serious.
But when Laurel said she was playing games, she brightened up.
"It's very funny! Grandma, you are mighty! Is this a toy gun? Can you lend it to me?”
Zoe wanted to grab the gun, which scared Laurel and she hurriedly put the gun away.
"This is no play for you. Grandma wants to play some exciting games with them now, but I don't know if
Zoe will cooperate with grandma.”
"How?"
Zoe's curiosity was completely aroused and she looked forward to seeing Laurel.
Laurel hugged her tightly and said, “Zoe, remember that no matter how long your grandma stays with
you, you are always grandma's best granddaughter and grandma loves you forever.”
A tear fell from Laurel's eyes.
Zoe quickly hugged Laurel and said, "Zoe loves grandma, too. After the successful operation, Zoe will
go to the park to dance with grandmother. Didn't Grandma say that you are best at square dance?
Zoe's going to learn from you, and Zoe's going to become a dancer?"
"Good! Good!"
Laurel held Zoe tightly.
She knew it was impossible for both of them to go out now. There must be a lot of people waiting for
them and watching them, but if Samuel told them to leave right away, it meant there was danger, and
Zoe was in danger.
Now that Joseph and Jacob were out of the house, it would be difficult for them to come back in and
save Zoe.
Now only when she stayed here, so that everyone thought she and Zoe were still in the hospital room,
and then can she have a chance to send Zoe out.
Laurel let go of Zoe and said with a smile, "Grandma would let this sheet go down the window. I
wonder if Zoe can climb down the sheet."
“Why climb down the sheet?"
Zoe blinked her big eyes and looked puzzled.
Laurel knew she was taking a risky step. Zoe was in poor health and this was the second floor. She
didn't know whether she can keep climbing or not.
She touched softly on Zoe's head and said, “Grandma needs to hold them back, making them think
that grandma is still in the room, and can't run away. But Zoe is a little hero and you could climb down
the bed sheet through the window and run to the hospital door to get your dad to save me. Only in this
way can we win. But Grandma doesn't know whether Zoe dares to do so?”
"Yes!"
Zoe was very excited.
From her birth to now, she had never experienced anything special. Everyday life was confined to the
hospital and she was going to die of boredom. However, her condition did not allow her to do other
things, and she was even afraid to run. But the desire could not be wiped out.
Now Laurel was having such an exciting game with her, she was really willing to try it.
Seeing Zoe looking cheerful, Laurel whispered, "Zoe, remember, you should talk to nobody except your
daddy. Run straight out to the hospital door and look for your daddy, you know?”
"What if it's Miss Lynn?”
Zoe thought of Miss Lynn.
Sometimes Miss Lynn would come to accompany her for a while in the evening. Although she had not
come here this period of time, Zoe was not sure whether she would meet her.
Laurel shook her head. "No! Talk to nobody except your father." she said, "In this game, only you,
grandma, Joseph, Jacob and your daddy are a team. We are a team. The others would pretend to be
bandits and come to arrest us. And remember, you have to hide when you see them, and go after your
daddy when they're gone? Got it?”
"Yes! Grandma rest assured; we will win!”
Zoe couldn't wait to try it.
Laurel threw the sheets down.
She was nervous, but she had no other way. People outside seemed to have a phone call, and Laurel
could not hear them clearly. She only knew that time was
pressing.
She kissed Zoe on the forehead and said, “Don't let go of the sheet, baby. Even when you are tired,
you can rest for a while, but you can't let go. It would be terrible to fall down.”
"I got it, grandma. I can do it. I have how brother climbs the window. Although I am not as strong as my
brother is, I believe I can do it.”
Zoe was so excited that she climbed up the window with the help of Laurel.
The cold wind outside was a little chilly.
Zoe couldn't help shivering as the wind blew by.
Subconsciously she looked down the floor, and was fearful.
That's so high!
“Grandma!
Zoe was more or less intimidated, and she sounded like she wanted to cry.
The old lady was distressed, but she had to smile, "Zoe is the best. Zoe will certainly be able to do it. I
don't think Zoe wants us to lose, do she?”
“Sure!”
Zoe nodded and began to climb down slowly.
She had never done anything like this before, and she was excited at first, but then her strength grew
heavier and she seemed to lose their grip on the sheets, and her whole body swayed in midair she
sniffed and wanted to cry.
Naturally, Laurel saw Zoe at this moment. She felt so distressed and so worried about her, but she did
not dare to speak loudly, and could only say to Zoe, “Zoe, come on. Grandma is waiting for you to
rescue grandma.”
When Zoe thought of Lucas’ calm look and Nicole's firm look, she gritted her teeth to continue to climb
down. There were some bloody traces on her delicate little hands, as if she couldn't stand it at any
moment, but the little girl didn't say a word even she was sweating and continued to climb down bit by
bit.
Laurel's eyes were moist with tears.
"You are my good granddaughter. Sorry to let you suffer, Zoe.”
Laurel covered her mouth and watched Zoe drag down little by little. Her heart ached. Zoe didn't know
how long she had been climbing, but when she finally landed on her feet, she smiled happily. She had
done!
She actually climbed down from the second floor!
“Grandma!
Zoe whispered into the room.
Laurel looked at her and said with a smile, “Go!”
"Grandma, wait for me to save you."
Zoe turned and ran, but fell on the ground.
Just then, the door of the hospital room burst open.
