Chapter 152

Good Luck

Sophie gave Josiah’s orchid a few more glances and realized that it was indeed of a rare species.

“If you like it, I’ll get someone to send a few more pots of this orchid to you,” was all Sophie said to him
in response.

She had come not to talk about orchids with Josiah but to convince the elderly man to undergo surgery.

“Soph, is there something you want to talk to me about?” Josiah rarely saw her so hesitant to say
anything.

There was no point in hiding it anymore, so she said, “Grandpa, I hope you’ll agree to the surgery.”

Josiah turned silent.

Why is she suddenly talking about this? Though, it isn’t actually that abrupt. Didn’t she bring me to the
hospital for a full-body checkup the other day?

Josiah was contemplating how he should reply to her. He was old and genuinely did not want to go
through the hassle anymore.

“Soph, I don’t want to undergo the surgery. All I want for my final days is to see you happy. That’s all I
need.”

If he did not agree to undergo surgery, he might have a little longer to live. However, if he agreed to it,
there was a high chance that he would not even survive the operation as his body might not be able to
handle the stress.

Nevertheless, Josiah was moved.



While Josiah was keeping his condition a secret, Sophie, who did not live with him, knew what was
going on. On the other hand, Yale, Charmaine, and Willow, who all stayed under the same roof as
Josiah, did not notice anything amiss about him. Who said that she’s not caring?

“Grandpa, trust me, okay? Please agree to the surgery.” Sophie leaned against his leg. He was the last
bit of warmth she had in the world, and she did not wish for him to leave her so soon.

“Soph, I don’t want to part with you, and that’s why I don’t want to agree to this surgery.” No one was
not afraid of death. Although elderly people were expected to be more accepting of death, Josiah did
not want to meet his demise yet.

He still wanted to stay by Sophie’s side.

If he were to leave as well, she would be all alone in the world.

“Grandpa, please trust me. I’ve really sought help from the best doctor in the world, and I trust that he
won’t let me down. I’ve never asked for anything from you, but please, do this for me.” The only time
Sophie would act so lowly was when she was with Josiah.

Josiah’s heart ached to hear her words. How could I let her be in so much despair?

Only then did Josiah begin mulling over his words.

“Soph, I really can’t stop worrying about you.” She isn’t even of age yet. If I leave, she’ll be all alone,
and I can’t rest in peace.

“Grandpa, you said that you want to watch me get married. Are you going to go back on your words?”
she asked. It was an urgent matter, and this was the only way she could persuade him.

“Soph…” What decision should I make? A beat later, Josiah said, “Okay. In that case, I agree to the
surgery. But Soph, you have to remember that I’m the one who chose to do the surgery. Even if I don’t



leave the operation room alive, you’re not allowed to be sad about that.”

Sophie blinked quietly.

Even now, he still has my best interests at heart.

“Okay.”

Josiah then gently patted Sophie’s back.

“You always do things discreetly, my child. Don’t you know that’s why you tend to suffer the most?”

You should learn from Willow. Be more of a sweet talker, and others will feel bad for you. Isn’t that
better for you?

As Josiah was going to undergo the surgery, he had to be admitted to the hospital for prior observation.

Josiah summoned the butler and had the latter pack up for him.

“Old Mr. Tanner, are you really going to undergo the surgery?” The only one who knew about Josiah’s
condition other than Sophie was the butler.

“That’s enough. You just need to know that I’ll be undergoing the surgery. Pack up. We’ll be going to
the hospital with Sophie.”

“The rate of success for this surgery is too low.” The butler knew that he should not be saying those
things to Josiah, but he could not bring himself to feign ignorance after working for Josiah for so many
years.

A minor mistake by the surgeon, and Josiah would die on the operating table. After all, he was no
longer as sturdy as when he was younger.



“As long as Soph’s happy, I won’t have any regrets even if I die.”

The butler did not know how to respond to that. He knew that Josiah had always dotted on Sophie, but
he never thought that Josiah would still heed Sophie even when it came to matters of life and death.

After packing up, Josiah led the butler down the stairs while Sophie went into her room to get some
things before coming back out.

When Charmaine saw the suitcase in Josiah’s hands, she instantly stood up and asked, “Dad, where
are you going? Didn’t the doctor ask you to stay at home?”

“I’ll be staying at one of my comrades’ place for a while.” Josiah did not want to reveal too much about
his surgery. He felt that it was better for them not to know about it.

“Dad, where are you going? No matter where you want to go, you should wait for Yale to come back
and send you. If you go out by yourself now, he’ll surely blame me once he comes home.”

Charmaine could not wrap her mind around what Sophie had said to Josiah to convince him to leave.

“No need to. You just have to settle the matters at home. You don’t need to intervene in my personal
affairs.”

If Yale finds out about this, he’ll surely kick up a fuss.

Josiah then went out with Sophie. When Tristan saw them, he quickly came out of the car.

“You haven’t left?”

“No, I’ve been waiting for you here. Old Mr. Tanner, come on into the car.” Frankly, Tristan did not even
know where Sophie was taking Josiah, but he was going to help the elderly man into the car anyway.



Josiah was visibly happy when he saw Tristan.

“Tanny, didn’t I ask you to visit me at the Tanner residence? Why didn’t you come?” Josiah grumbled.

Tristan did not excuse himself. Instead, he only smiled and replied, “Sorry. I was too busy courting
Sophie, so I didn’t have time to come here and visit you. Old Mr. Tanner, please forgive me for that.”

Then, he helped Josiah into the car.

Josiah was smiling the entire way as he thought, Tanny seems like a decent guy. Maybe he’ll be a
suitable candidate to take care of Sophie if I’m gone.

“You’ve been courting Soph since forever. I wish you all the best. I think you’re good for her,” Josiah
encouraged.

“Okay, Old Mr. Tanner. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best! I’ll win over your dear granddaughter and
make sure she won’t ever feel upset.”

Tristan was a smart man; he knew what Josiah wanted to hear. That was why he said those things to
please the old man.

“To the hospital.” Sophie climbed aboard and pretended not to have heard their conversation.

Tristan then took on the role of the driver and sent them to the hospital. He knew about Josiah’s
condition too. Thus, he wondered, They’re going to the hospital. Does that mean she has already made
arrangements for the surgery?

Once they were at the hospital, the hospital director made the arrangements for Josiah himself.

Josiah could not help but turn to look at Tristan when the director came out to greet them.
