The Apple of My Eye

'To avoid arousing Mike's suspicion, I have to pretend to look after Joanna wholeheartedly. It's annoying!' Becky complained to herself.

"An expert from abroad happened to be stationed at the hospital, recently. Both grandpa and I wanted to see grandma wake up, so I agreed to have the expert perform surgery on her," Aron replied. He caught a bit of anxiety flash through her face.

"Then... how is she doing now? When will she wake up?" Becky asked, looking uneasy, secretly clenching her fists.

"I don't know," Aron shook his head. "We decided to let her undergo the operation, hoping that she could wake up afterwards. But now she is still in a coma, and we don't know when she will wake up," he added.

"God will bless her. She will wake up one day." Becky was relieved when she heard his words. 'Everything will be okay as long as she doesn't wake up before the wedding. I don't think that old woman will ask Aron to divorce with me after we get married, ' Becky thought to herself.

"But, Aron..." she said, lifting her eyebrow. "Why didn't you tell me about her surgery? If I hadn't come here today, I still wouldn't know anything about it."

"Grandpa and I decided that we didn't want you to worry about grandma. Besides, the surgery did not promise 100% success. I didn't want to disappoint you after giving you some hope. I meant to surprise you when she wakes up, but I didn't expect you to come today," Aron explained calmly. Aron's words made sense. Becky couldn't think of any reason to get mad at him.

She tried to find something suspicious on him, but failed.

"I hope that you won't keep me in the dark again. If something bad happened to grandma..." 'Fortunately for me, she is still in coma. Otherwise, I will be as good as dead.' she thought in relief.

nodded. 'All I need to do is not to arouse her suspicion.' he told himself.
