Chapter 720 Elizabeth’s Determination

Theresa came down from the taxi with a bouquet of fresh flowers in her arms. She saw a group of
medical staff rushing out of the hospital with a stretcher. They quickly opened the door to the backseat
of the other car at the entrance to get an unconscious man to the emergency room as soon as
possible.

She took a glance only, and didn’t pay too much attention to the scene as she didn’t know Officer Miller.
She didn’t tell Armand that she was coming to the hospital as she wanted to give him a surprise.
Besides, she wanted to visit Armand’s grandma too.

After all, she was Armand’s only relative now. Now that she was hospitalized, Theresa felt obliged to
pay her a visit.

When she arrived at the ward, she asked for Elizabeth’s room number from the nurse station and
headed over.

Armand was a filial grandson. Elizabeth was staying in the VIP room. It was silent and clean there, but
the air was still filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

When Theresa reached the door of Elizabeth’s ward, she raised her hand to knock on the door, but
before she could do so, she heard Armand’s wail of pain. That made her smile a little.

Elizabeth seemed to be in pretty good spirits. She still had the energy to beat Armand up.

Theresa put her hand down, and when she was about to knock on the door again, Elizabeth’s furious
voice came through, “Armand, don’t fool me anymore. You said that Theresa had forgiven you, so
where is she? You lied to me, didn’t you? You don’t want to give me my great-grandson, do you?”

Her hand froze mid-air. ‘Great-grandson?’



She knew better than anyone that Elizabeth’s wish was to have a great-grandson. When she was with
Armand in the past, Elizabeth was already eager.

“I did not lie to you! As for your great-grandson, that’s my private business. Please, grandma, don’t bug
me about it anymore, okay? I’ve had enough listening to that. Please just let it go.”

“That’s my only wish. I just want you to get married and give me my great-grandson. I wouldn’t care
about any of your other matters.” Elizabeth was particularly firm on this.

Armand felt that his head was about to explode.

She nagged about this all day long, and it was driving Armand nuts.

“I don’t like kids, and I don’t want to have children…”

Slap!

“Ouch!” Armand held onto his arm, “Grandma, how do you have so much strength? You’re going to
disable me if you hit me again. By then, how can I have children?”

“You’re not disabled now, and I don’t see you have children too. Let me tell you this, Armand. You’re
not a kid anymore, don’t joke around. I’m serious about this, and you cannot let me die with regrets.”

“You’re going to live forever…”

“Kiddo!” Elizabeth gave him a slap on the arm again. Armand leaned closer towards her, “You might as
well beat me up to death now. I’m going to go crazy from your naggings anyway.”

Elizabeth was truly furious now, “Do you think I like to nag you? If you have brothers, I wouldn’t care if
you’re single for your whole life. Do you think it was easy for me to raise you?”



As she said, her eyes became teary, “Your dad passed away just like that, and your grandpa left me a
long time ago too…”

Armand was afraid that his grandmother would bring up the past. He quickly drew a piece of tissue and
wiped her tears.

“I won’t ask much from you. I just don’t want to see you single when I’m dead. How can I die in peace?
How could I, knowing that our family’s going to cease to exist after this generation?”

Armand laid at the side of the bed irreverently. He didn’t want to talk nor move.

He really did not want to accompany her here.

However, she was old and had no children by her side anymore. Her only son had passed away at
such a young age. Armand was her only family now. He had to take care of her now that she was
hospitalized.

But when he was here, she would nag on and on without end. Perhaps the elderly could talk endlessly
about the same matter.

She kept repeating her words that he was almost at his limits.

“I don’t want to force you either. Just do whatever you want. I’m going to die soon anyway.” Elizabeth
was still mad.

Armand smacked his head with his fist, “You’re already so old, don’t get mad. If you continue being
angry, I’ll just die together with you.”

Elizabeth grabbed his hand, forbidding him from hitting himself, “I won’t force you, but give me a time. I
don’t have many years left to live. Can you get married and have children while I’m still alive?”



Armand had no choice but to comfort her, “I’ll get married and give you your great-grandchildren in two
years, okay?”

He thought of adopting one and tell Elizabeth that it was his child when the time came to comfort her
first.

“No, two years is too long. One year.” Elizabeth was determined.

Armand could only nod now, “I promise you, so can you stop the nagging?”

Elizabeth let out a sigh, “When you’re old, even your family dislikes you.”

Armand was speechless.

“I don’t dislike you. What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.” Armand patted Elizabeth, “I know all
these years had been tough for you.”

Elizabeth asked him back in return, “You didn’t eat breakfast this morning, did you?”

How could Armand have the appetite to eat?

She had been blabbering on and on. He was going to go mad.

“You go and eat, I ate earlier so I’m not hungry.”

Armand wasn’t hungry too, but he wanted to go out and get some fresh air. He said, “I’m hungry. I’m
going to buy some food.“

Elizabeth told him to just go.



All of a sudden, Theresa did not dare to meet Elizabeth anymore. When she heard that Armand was
going to leave the room, she dashed in the direction of the pantry. As soon as she entered, Armand
walked out.

Hiding at a corner, she watched Armand walked further away. She only came out slowly after Armand
reached the elevator.

Standing in the corridor, she listened to the sound of the surrounding.

She heard the elevator’s doors opened and closed after a moment. She walked over, and sure enough,
Armand wasn’t there anymore.

At this time, the door to the other elevator opened. Theresa entered and went down to the lobby too.

She arrived a little later than Armand. When she came out of the elevator, he had already exited from
the hospital’s doors.

Theresa didn’t know whether she should head back home or meet Armand. She was stuck in a
dilemma.

Upon seeing that Armand did not leave to buy food but turned into an alley, Theresa followed him from
behind, wanting to know what he was up to.
