The Substitute Bride

After leaving Becky's house, Mike turned to Aron and asked, "Becky said that you used to date Isla. Is it true?"

"More or less, " replied Aron. As he started the car, he said to Mike, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."

Mike responded with a stone face, "If you intend to persuade me to call off your wedding, don't say anything at all. The wedding has been finalized and impossible to change."

Mike continued, "I don't care what happened between you and Isla. Now that you chose Becky, you should take responsibility for it. Got it?"

Aron thought with a frown, 'I never planned to really marry her. It was just a stopgap.'

He explained, "Grandpa, you misunderstood me. The matter I am going to discuss with you has nothing to do with Becky or Isla." "Now grandma is still in a coma. Two days ago the doctor told me that she might be in a coma indefinitely. Then I met Arthur. He told me that grandma could wake up if he did the operation himself. So I want to ask your opinion.

Aron drove Mike home, then called Charles and told him of their decision. Charles happened to be in the hospital, so he went to Arthur.

Arthur had been meeting with other doctors since his return. When Charles saw him, he had just come back to his office to rest.

"Mr. Lu, what brought you here?" Arthur asked, craning his neck as if he was looking for someone.

Charles replied, "I came alone." He noticed the disappointment on Arthur's face. Arthur returned to his seat, poured Charles a cup of tea and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Charles replied, "The patient's family agreed to have the surgery. I hope that you can schedule it soon."

Arthur responded with frown, "Mr. Lu, we both know that I agreed to do you this favor on Autumn's account. You promised me that..."
