Chapter 867 Grandma’s Leaving Us Soon
“I’ll leave with you.” This was probably the rashest decision Savannah had ever made in her life. Jason was overjoyed to hear what she said. Initially, he had planned on staying in town for a while longer in hopes that he might have been able to convince Savannah of his genuine feelings for her. To his surprise, Savannah agreed to leave with him before he had to do any of that.
Her agreement was good news to the both of them, and they both wore smiles on their faces when they exchanged glances with each other. Savannah no longer tried to run off this time—she followed Jason on an extremely long car trip, followed by her first plane ride that lasted for more than 20 hours. Finally, they arrived at Yucaria, a country that was foreign to her.
Since it was the first time that she boarded a plane, she felt extremely nauseous the entire trip. She puked a few times in the plane and continued to puke even after they got off the ride. She was extremely weak and drowsy by the time they arrived at Yucaria.
Due to this incident, Jason brought her to rest in another one of his properties in the city instead of bringing her directly to his family home. He was worried that Savannah would feel too pressured to meet his family so soon.
After arriving at their lodging, Savannah slept for an entire day before she finally felt better. Jason stayed by her side and waited while she slept. “How are you feeling? Better?” Savannah opened her eyes to meet his gentle gaze.
“I’m a lot better now. The plane ride was torturous,” she muttered in a weak voice as she looked at him with her big, watery eyes. “It was your first time on a plane, so it might have been hard for you to get used to it.
Don’t worry; it’ll get easier in the future.” Jason smiled. “I’ve prepared some soup for you. Why don’t you try some of it? You might feel better after eating something.”
Savannah sat upright in bed as she spoke. “Are we in your house now? Should I greet your grandparents and parents first? It’s rude for me to stay here without greeting them, right?”
“This isn’t my house. This is just a temporary place that I use sometimes. Don’t worry. We can meet my family once you feel better. Here, try this soup.” He brought a spoonful of soup toward her lips.
The color returned to her face after she finished her food. A while after that, she got out of bed to tour around the villa. “This place is huge! What’s the total number of people who can fit in a space like this?” Her wide eyes darted from one corner of the house to another.
Jason remained silent then. If she’s shocked by the sight of this tiny villa, I wonder what she’s going to feel when she sees the Murray Family’s actual residence…
I’m sure that the Murray Family’s wealth is a huge stressor to Savannah, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the pressure on her own. I’m worried that she would feel like she’s not enough for me, and I’m worried that she will give up and run away.
With that thought, he invited Selena over and explained to her the situation he was in. Selena let out a sigh after she heard what he said. “I’m surprised that you brought her over so soon. I thought it meant that we would be able to attend your wedding soon—I hadn’t expected the situation you’re in right now.”
Jason let out a sigh as well. “This must sound ridiculous to you.”
“We’re family—I wouldn’t think of you that way. Look, I can try to give her some advice, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to succeed.” Selena hadn’t met Savannah in the past, and she wasn’t sure if she would be able to convince the girl.
“Okay. Just try your best,” Jason uttered. “I’m afraid… Grandma won’t be able to hang around for much longer,” Selena added after some hesitation. Jason’s heart sunk into the pit of his stomach with a loud thud. “What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said that Grandma’s heart is getting weaker each day. We nearly lost her a few nights ago, but they managed to save her in the end. She seems a little better these two days, but the doctor isn’t sure how much longer she might last. They’ve already given up on all methods of treatment,” Selena replied.
Jason fell silent upon hearing her words. “I think Grandma’s waiting to witness your marriage, Jason. You should hurry.”
“I understand, but I really don’t want to pressure Savannah into doing this. She’s here on her own, and she doesn’t have anyone else…” he mumbled. “I understand. Let me talk to her,” Selena replied.
